Disappointing Experience
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had high hopes for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, but unfortunately, it has been a major letdown. Despite all the hype and premium pricing, the phone falls short in several key areas. First, the performance is surprisingly inconsistent. For a flagship device, I expected smooth multitasking and lightning-fast app launches, but instead, I’ve experienced frequent lagging and occasional crashes. It's simply not what you expect from a phone that’s supposed to represent the cutting edge of Android technology. Battery life is another huge disappointment. Even with moderate use, I find myself scrambling for a charger halfway through the day. For a phone that's advertised to have an all-day battery, this is unacceptable. The camera — usually Samsung’s strong suit — also misses the mark. Photos often come out over-processed and lack the natural sharpness and color accuracy I was hoping for. Night mode struggles with clarity, and zoomed-in shots are almost unusable. Design-wise, while it looks premium at first glance, the phone is surprisingly uncomfortable to hold for long periods, and it feels bulkier than it needs to be. The software doesn't help either; One UI feels bloated, with a lot of unnecessary features that slow the phone down rather than enhance the experience. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra feels like a rushed, overpriced product that doesn't live up to its promises. I expected a top-tier experience and instead got frustration. Definitely not worth the upgrade.

Junk right out of the box.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolute junk. The facial recognition for screen unlock wouldn't record my face right out of the box. Genius Bar couldn';t fix it, said to call Samsung. Samsung customer support, if you can call it that, wanted me to do a factory reset, as though that were going to solve the problem when it didn't work new from the factory. Now they want me to take it in to a service center in downtown Boston, requiring me to both take time off from work and pay $60 to park. On top of that, they're already gearing up to deny a warranty claim, saying I must have done something to break it. They also acted like I was negligent from buying it from Best Buy, which they described as a third party seller. That's what I get from a $1,300 phone? I'm done with Samsung products.

Worst customer service
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product itself is awesome but the Spring Meadows BestBuy is one of the worst stores. I bought the ohone on February 14th exchanging mg iPhone 15 Pro for a trade-in amount of 900$. The trade-in amount is not deposited yet yo my paypal account. I wnet to the store and was told i need to call the customer care and customer care says they cant figure out. All of this is after i handed the phone to a bestbuy employee behind the counter.
