Best phone I've owned to date. Checks off every box for me. Was always swapping back and forth between Apple and Samsung. But I don't see that happening again. S25 Ultra ++++
The phone is a beast but im sad that the S pen is no longer Bluetooth so I cant use it to take photos... I also want the phones system to do better at auto adjusting the settings for a better photo like apple does.... we got better lenses but they take better photos to the eye.. we can take better photos just with a little more effort.
I recently upgraded from a S22 Ultra, and although that's still fairly new and powerful in terms of tech, the S25 Ultra feels so much more luxurious and with even more features. I've been a Samsung user for years, and I'll still learning new things about my phone. With the initial use, I noticed the metal framing would get HOT. Like... Borderline worrisome it was going to combust. Thankfully, that's subsided. I do miss the waterfall edges for the sidebar features but that's minor. Battery life is great! Maybe because it's still new, but I can go a whole day at work and home on a full charge. That's with location services, Bluetooth, videos, texting, and everyday usage. I'll continue to invest with Samsung products!
Samsung has done it again, they have once again been able to improve an already great phone. I highly recommend this phone to anyone who love the android platform and also to those who want to be freed from limits of the iOS platform.
Hate Google texting, I pefer Samsung messages. I like the customized text backgrounds & the ability to see blocked messages with Samsung messages. Google messages is plain.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
