I don't generally get excited by yet another new slab phone, but I really like this one. I got the Navy one, and it just looks so good – the other colors don't even compare. Between Samsung DeX, the Snapdragon 8 Elite SOC, and the general flexibility of a modern Android phone, it's just a powerhouse. The camera isn't anything special, but with decent light, it looks good, and that's all I need.
I'd been stuck in the iPhone world for, roughly, the last 7 years. You kinda forget how much Apple locks things down until you switch back. It hit me when I tried to check my WiFi signal – couldn't even get a basic strength number (RSSI) on my old iPhone. On the S25+, I fired up Synology WiFiman, and not only does it show me the signal, but it maps out where my WiFi sucks in the house using the camera. How cool is that?
And don't even get me started on the speed. This thing flies. I'm playing Fallout New Vegas, the full PC version, using Winlator, and it's hitting over 100fps, and it's completely stock and unrooted. The best part about modern Android phones is that they cater to power users and regular users alike. If you want to install unsigned apps you found on GitHub, you can, but if you're uncomfortable with that, you can just stay in Google/Samsung's walled garden. Apple doesn't even give you a choice.

This phone was purchased as an upgrade to my 22. It functions very similarly making it an easy switch. So far, I'm very pleased with the battery life, the size and the weight. It seems to be a very good phone with a great camera.

I upgraded from a Galaxy S22. This phone is much nicer. It is larger, has a nicer camera, has a much longer battery life, and twice as much storage. I am very happy with my purchase.

Had it for just about a month now and I am loving it, the battery life is so much better then what I had in my last phone. Picture taking and videos are crisp, clear and very sharp looking. So many features om this phone also, I'm still learning about it as I go yet though.

I wasn't planning to buy a new phone but my S23 Ultra started acting weird. I've had this phone about a month, didnt get the ultra this time because I rarely used the pen on the S23.
