Love love love this device!!! As a person who usually switches between Apple and Samsung, it is quite amazing that I've finally made the decision to stick with Samsung! The camera is awesome and the battery life is phenomenal! All the features are useful and it only continues to get better.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is a top-tier flagship smartphone that delivers a premium experience, but it's more a story of refinement than a revolutionary leap.
Pros:
* Best-in-class display: The 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen is incredibly bright and sharp, with a new anti-reflective coating that makes it excellent for outdoor use.
* Powerful performance: The Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor makes it one of the fastest and most capable phones on the market.
* Versatile camera system: The quad-camera setup, with a 200MP main sensor and dual telephoto lenses (3\times and 5\times optical zoom), offers great flexibility and excellent photo quality.
* Improved design and feel: A lighter build and flatter sides with a titanium frame make the phone feel more premium and easier to hold.
* Strong AI features: Samsung's Galaxy AI, including real-time translation and advanced photo editing, is a major selling point.
Cons:
* Slow charging speed: The 45W wired charging is significantly slower than many competitors.
* Minor hardware upgrades: While performance and the camera are improved, many of the hardware changes are incremental, making it a less compelling upgrade for S24 Ultra owners.
* High price: As a premium flagship, it comes with a steep price tag, which may not be justified for those who don't need all the cutting-edge features.
* S Pen changes: The S Pen's Bluetooth connectivity has been removed, which some users may miss.

The perfect Android phone. If you are in the android world, there is simply no better phone. The anti-glare screen set the standard for ALL phones going forward. Far outpaces the screen on the new iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Amazing camera
Unbelievable display
Outstanding performance

I love this phone! I switched from a Pixel phone to this because of network connectivity issues with my Pixel. The sound is really clear on calls. The camera is incredible! Apps load really fast on it. The battery lasts about a day and a half. Very happy with this phone. Highly recommend!

Excellent phone, it met my expectations and is without a doubt the best I've ever owned. I highly recommend it, and it's great to have the S Pen for drawing or other functions, in addition to its incredible cameras that have great quality and a great zoom. (I had to buy another one because of how great it is).

The screen is absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, I cant experience the anti-glare since I put a screen protector on. The camera looks really good and the zoom is even crazier. The battery life also allows me to use it regularly without ever needing to charge it mid day.

This phone is amazing. The camera on it takes way better pictures than my previous iPhone did. I like the size of the phone. It fits well in my pocket. I was sold on the camera though - it takes amazing pictures.

Got it for my wife switching from always having iPhones. So far she's really loved it. Good enough battery, and screen is really nice. Cameras are also really good.

I've always gone back and forth between apple and android, I switched from my iPhone 13 to this Samsung and let me tell you, I don't think I'll ever go back to the apple ecosystem. I even purchased a galaxy watch because of how much I enjoy the features of android. There's so much freedom to use your creativity and make your device customized to your person. Even in a professional sense it has helped me. It has so many features that are wildly convenient and help me stay organized. Not to mention I've been on a weight loss journey and I don't know why but Samsung health truly helped me stay on track. The app is visually pleasing and reminds me to stay on top of it. Anyways, I just love this phone. ALSO! Can we talk about the camera quality!?!? I've been to a few concerts and my videos are so effing amazing it's crazyyyyyy, great quality!

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is very impressive — it nails the flagship checklist in almost every way: display, build, performance, camera versatility, support.

I recently upgraded to the Galaxy S25 Ultra 256 GB and overall I’m very impressed with what this flagship brings to the table. Here are my thoughts:
What I love
• The display is stunning — the 6.9″ QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with 1-120 Hz refresh really makes everything feel smooth and vibrant.
• Performance hasn’t disappointed: the Snapdragon 8 Elite “for Galaxy” chip paired with 12 GB RAM makes multitasking and demanding apps feel effortless.
• The camera system is top-tier: the 200 MP main sensor, and the upgraded 50 MP ultra-wide are particular stand-outs for sharpness, detail and low-light performance.
• Design and build feel premium: the titanium frame, refined edges and IP68 dust/water-resistance give confidence and durability. 
• The 256 GB storage gives plenty of headroom for apps, photos, videos — good peace of mind.
A few caveats
• The S Pen has seen a regression: Bluetooth “Air gesture” functionality has been removed, meaning some remote camera shutter / gesture features are no longer available. 
• Charging speed is still “only” 45 W wired: while acceptable, some competitors offer faster charging these days.
• Price is high: At a premium flagship cost (~$1,299 for the 256GB model) you definitely pay for “everything”.
• For users upgrading from the very recent prior “Ultra” models, some improvements may feel incremental rather than groundbreaking.

After using iPhones for almost a decade, I decided to switch to Android with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (256GB) — and I have to say, it’s been a refreshing change. I’ve been using it for about a month now, and here’s what stood out:
Hardware:
Pros:
The phone feels extremely premium in hand — solid build quality and attention to detail.
The screen is stunningly vivid and super responsive, thanks to the high refresh rate.
Anti-reflective coating works great — easy to read even under bright sunlight.
The fingerprint scanner is fast and convenient most of the time.
Battery: I got the phone set to 80% max daily charge, and at the end of the day I am still left with 15-20% with an average of 4hrs screen on time.
Cons:
It’s a bit large for smaller hands.
The protruding camera lenses make me worry about scratches (a good case is a must).
I do miss iPhone’s Face ID — the fingerprint reader occasionally hiccups with a screen protector.
Software & Performance:
Pros:
The freedom to customize every aspect of the phone is amazing.
The new AI integration is a game changer — Bixby and Gemini both feel natural and genuinely helpful.
Gestures and shortcuts make everyday tasks faster and more intuitive.
Everything — from apps to media — feels snappy and smooth.
Cons:
I do miss Apple’s seamless ecosystem features like AirDrop, copy-paste, and Sidecar since I still use a MacBook.
The sheer number of settings can be overwhelming at first (though the search function helps).
Came with a bit of bloatware, but easy enough to remove.
For longtime iOS users, there’s definitely a short learning curve — but after a few weeks, it feels second nature.
Overall Verdict:
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is a true flagship — premium, powerful, and packed with smart AI features that make it stand out. While I’ll always appreciate Apple’s simplicity, Samsung got me with the freedom to customize and just get things done. If you’re considering switching from iPhone, this might be the phone that finally convinces you. Highly recommended.

Best phone i ever used, top of the line. Quality of the picture this Camera makes is 11/10. Battery life is outsending. And the screen pen is the most useful thing for my business. I dont need my laptop anymore. Overall very satisfied with both product and customer service!
