items: items 1: content: Coming from an S23 Ultra, I was blown away by how much can change in 2 years. The phone is a complete and premium package, as expected by the Ultra series which has formed a reputation as best in class over the years.
The screen has a whopping 2600 nits of brightness, which has really improved viewing whilst in direct sunlight and bright rooms. This pairs well with the 2nd generation of Corning's glare reducing coating which is simply phenomenal and greatly improves viewing angles, with the 1440p screen delivering great colours for any content you throw at it.
Now onto the star of the show, the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, a 3mn chip which delivers incredible performance and based on benchmarks even blows the last generation out of the water. This results in a buttery smooth experience when asking the phone to do anything, from simple tasks to heavy load gaming, it can do it all without breaking a sweat. Coming from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip in my S23 Ultra, it's really been noticeable how much of an uplift in performance there is based on my heavy duty usage. Paired with a 40% larger vapour chamber over the last generation for added cooling, I did not run into a single issue where the phone got too hot. The battery life is also really good, lasting a day of heavy use, which is more than enough, though I was hoping for better as it didn't really outshine my S23 ultra battery performance. The charging is still 45w, and whilst it is a bit faster than my S23U, I was hoping for a bump up in charging speed with the technologies available.
A little disappointment for me was the removal of the Bluetooth functionality in the S Pen, which I found really useful in my S23 Ultra for taking photos, and whilst I understand it's likely that not many people made use of it, I don't see why it had to be removed, granted you can buy it separately if required.
The camera hardware performs exceptionally, especially the new 50mp ultra wide lens, but I really feel the OneUI 7 software-processing has made a massive difference in how good the photos look once you take them.
The new Gemini AI cross-app functionality with compounding tasks has worked really well for me, allowing me to do things such as ask when an event is and then subsequently add it to my calendar. The magic eraser AI tool is one of the best I've seen based off other new devices, and even personally I've seen a marked improvement over how it worked in the S23 Ultra.
All in all you really can't go wrong.

title: Blown away by S23 Ultra upgrade, premium package

items 2: content: I would liken the build quality of the S25 Ultra to that of a luxury watch. Formed of nothing but steel and glass, the display sits perfectly flush with the frame, protected by a pane of the highest quality glass available on a smartphone. Maintaining a similar format for a few years has allowed Samsung to perfect the overall feel on the phone, aided by rounder corners, reduced weight and an overall thinner device.
Booting the phone up and transferring my files through the Samsung Switch app demonstrated just how powerful the new Snapdragon Elite 8 processor is. A process that used to take several hours took less than 45 minutes to install my apps and settings.
The new 'One UI user interface feels smoother, more intuitive and consistent. The superb (and growing) list of AI functions feel like a natural part of the operating system, and I am increasingly relying on a number of AI tools to increase my productivity and improve my photos in ways I wouldn't have thought possible without professional photo-editing equipment. I'm particularly impressed with the writing assist functionality that helps me improve my emails and respond faster to messages. The 'Interpreter' function with live translations of calls or conversations is also helpful in a pinch but will be game changing as it gets faster.
In line with the general theme with this phone, the camera hardware and software is class leading, with superb ultra-wide, macro, standard and zoom options, the ability to capture any shot you can imagine with a few taps increasingly means the mirrorless camera stays at home. Don't get me wrong, it's not just the convenience, the quality of the images are reliable enough now that the difference in quality compared to a professional camera is difficult to discern in daylight shots, and night time stills are often even better.
Samsung's S25 evolution of their flagship phone is a masterclass in demonstrating how thousands of subtle refinements bring about a step change in day to day performance and overall enjoyment.

items 3: content: Coming from an S23 Ultra and an S21 Ultra before that, the aspect I loved the most about the S25 Ultra is the completely flat screen. I was never a fan and am happy now that I can properly get a tempered glass screen protector on. The display is top-notch, as you'd expect from the Ultras. I am loving the new flat, box-like form factor of the S25 Ultra. The phone is narrower, thinner, and considerably lighter when compared to the S23U and S21U. Minor, hard-to-notice improvements, such as moving the SIM tray pinhole away from the speaker hole, are appreciated. My days of incorrectly inserting the SIM ejection tool in the speaker hole instead of the SIM tray in my S23U & S21U and immediately feeling dread are behind me.
The other aspect that stood out for me was the UI. The One UI 7.0 on the S25 Ultra supported with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip's heft felt so much more fluid and smoother when compared to my previous Ultra. Perhaps it's the new phone or likely the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, combined with a cleaner and lighter UI, but the experience of using the apps on a day-to-day basis is buttery smooth, as you'd expect from a flagship, and in my opinion, improved from the previous Ultras I've owned.
The next aspect that has improved for me is the S25 Ultra's support for Qi wireless charging version 2.1.0. Combined with a MagSafe-compatible case, I am experiencing faster wireless charging rates when compared to the S23U & S21U. Speaking of charging, the USB-C port on my previous S23U was buggy, and I'd struggled to charge it with a cable despite cleaning it. No longer a problem with the S25 Ultra, and happy to experience good charging speeds with a cable plugged in again. I'd be looking to invest in 45W chargers to benefit from fast charging capabilities. The battery life itself appears to have noticeably improved, perhaps again due to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip and improved battery management via software.
The camera on the S25 Ultra is outstanding, as has been the case with the previous iterations. The lenses and sensors are excellent, able to capture a lot of detail and rich, vibrant colours. I was especially impressed with the 50MP ultra-wide’s nighttime performance. Colours and details in challenging situations looked especially good, and there was a lot of detail in macro shots.
I never used the S Pen all that much, so the lack of Bluetooth doesn't really bother me; however, I wish Samsung had retained the Bluetooth capability to use for occasions when I'd have wanted to use the S Pen as a camera trigger.
I've not explored the AI features yet; however, in initial trials, I am impressed by how Samsung has appeared to have integrated Galaxy AI, Bixby system-level AI actions, and Google’s Gemini generative AI capabilities for complex tasks. I believe the full power of the onboard AI may take time to reveal itself, but I can see myself using these capabilities in hopefully what should be a good few years of ownership.
Overall, I am extremely happy with the purchase. Would highly recommend to anybody—no reservations!

items 4: content: I took delivery of the new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra today 01/02/2025, first impression when opening the box it looked very similar to my wife’s Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, removing from the box I noticed immediately that it had rounded corners and it felt slightly lighter and thinner than the S24 Ultra.
I was reading up on the specification of the new Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite processor that is used in the S25, and at the moment it is claiming to be the fastest and latest chip from the company Qualcomm, it’s built on a 3 nm process, claiming more power and more energy efficiency. This chip claims the CPU is 30% faster, the GPU is 37% faster, and NPU is 40% faster than the S24. (Speeds as stated by Samsung and Qualcomm).
The screen on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is stating Gorilla Armor 2, and it claims better durability, if dropped on rough or hard surfaces, it is engineered to better resist damage, such as breakage, more effectively than ever before.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra uses the same four cameras on the rear as the S24, 200 MP main, 10MP 3x zoom, 50 MP 5x zoom, the only difference is that the ultra-wide camera now has a 50 MP camera compared to a 12MP camera on the S24, and the same 12MP camera on the front.
So for myself I am pleased I purchased the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, I was going to upgrade to the S24 Ultra last year, both phones have the same Ram and Storgage, I am glad I waited for the 2025 model, I upgraded from a Samsung S22, and the improvements for me and the much improved ram and storage (shown below) are vast and me well worth the cost.
S25 Ram / Storage - 12GB / 256GB or 12GB / 512GB or 12GB / 1TB
S22 Ram / Storage - 8GB / 128GB or 8GB / 256GB
I have had the S25 for nearly a week now, and using it on a daily basis and I’m very pleased with the new handset.

items 5: content: While many phones tout AI, the S25 Ultra's implementation of Galaxy AI, powered by a blend of Samsung and Google Gemini tech, feels deeply integrated and genuinely useful.
Multitasking with "Cross App Action": This is a standout feature. Mention how you can use a single voice command to accomplish complex tasks across different apps. For example, "I saw a great recipe in this YouTube video; can you save the ingredients to my notes and set a calendar reminder to buy them tomorrow?" This demonstrates how the phone anticipates your needs and streamlines your workflow in a way that feels futuristic.
A "ProVisual Engine" for Everyone: The camera's AI isn't just about making photos look good; it's about making them better than you could have captured on your own. Talk about the "Next Gen ProVisual Engine" and how it intelligently corrects backlighting, adjusts skin tones, and reduces noise in low-light conditions. Mention specific AI-powered editing tools like the ability to quickly remove reflections or unwanted objects from photos with a tap of the S Pen.
The Power of the S Pen: The S Pen is no longer just for notes and drawings. Its integration with the AI features for precise edits and content creation is a major differentiator. Highlight how you use it to effortlessly circle to search, or to make fine-tuned adjustments to your AI-enhanced photos. The S25 Ultra's camera hardware is impressive, but the software is what truly makes it shine.

items 6: content: It is quality, with a titanium shell, squared off at the corners and edges, and just the best screen I have ever seen: a massive 6.9-inch flat screen with QHD+ (3120 x 1440) resolution running a 120Hz refresh rate.
Out of the box transfer of my old phone to the S25 Ultra was seamless and complete, even taking most of my app settings across. This is a real first for me and extremely welcome: overtime Samsung have clearly refined this laborious one-off task!
Initial impressions are that the Galaxy S25 Ultra is fast and fluid in every aspect, from gaming to watching films, to flicking through apps. Undoubtedly this is down to the new Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU, working well with the new Android 15 / UI 7.0.
There is a new 50Mp ultrawide lens too that is very welcome, just adding to the awesome range of possibilities with the S25 Ultra’s camera.
Noticeable software improvements mainly come from the new UI 7.0 (that comes preinstalled), and the improved feel that you quickly get used to, including the split system and app notifications – a nice touch. Hoping the new "Now Brief" available on the Home screen starts learning what I want to read, as it’s clearly early days right now.
Still working my way through what is an extensive list of AI capabilities, but I’m now confident that the hardware this phone delivers will enable many years of improvements in this area.
I had doubts in whether to upgrade this time. Knowing that this phone comes with seven years of update support, along with its brand new and impressive CPU, gave me the gamechanger I needed to go for this superb upgrade. Not disappointed one bit!

items 7: content: First impression of the device is wow.
Unboxing the phone and holding it for the first time, it instantly feels like a premium, well built device. The titanium is nice to hold and the screen is just amazing, sharp and bright as you expect of a flagship device.
The setup process was a breeze, using the smart switch feature all my data, accounts and apps had been transferred from my old phone to the s25 ultra without any issues. it also brings over WIFI password etc so the process is seamless.
Performance is amazing, the phone is fast, no lag even while gaming, having multiple apps in the background you don't notice any showdown. The new processor is truly amazing.
The screen has multiple options including eye care that I turn on at night, dark mode and using the dynamic screen option the screen is ever so smooth scrolling through the web and browsing apps.
The camera is the star of the show, wide angle pictures come out stunning, the main camera is crystal clear even when using the zoom the image processing sharpens the picture and looks amazing.
The AI has matured and offers great functionality pricing genuinely useful features and not just gimmicks, the functionality to edit pictures, add in missing items, delete unwanted objects, edit videos and also the functionality to edit pictures taken on other phones is just incredible. The live translation is a game changer.
The now Bar/Brief function is a really useful tool, it tells you what is in your diary for the day, Weather update, your own personal assistant.
To summarise, I would highly recommend this phone, great features, great build and coming from Samsung you are sure the device will be supported for the years to come.

items 8: content: The S25 Ultra takes AI to a new level, with more comprehensive and intuitive features than ever before. It's not just about simple tasks anymore; the AI seems to be a more proactive and helpful assistant. This includes updated abilities for contextual information gathering and seamless multitasking across applications making for a very satisfying experience. Performance is definitely upgraded with top-tier processing power thanks to the new chip insude ensuring smooth performance for demanding tasks, including gaming and heavy multitasking. Improvements in thermal management contribute to more sustained performance.
The Dynamic AMOLED 2X display continues to impress, with improvements in my favorite anti-reflective technology and continued high quality refresh rate. Additionally while the core camera hardware might not have seen any major upgrades, the AI-driven image processing significantly elevates photo and video quality, especially the inclusion of the AI audio eraser feature, which allows me to edit my videos to make them even more professional and ready for upload to my channel. All In all I am very satisfied with this device and I appreciate the updated design along with the added AI to further enhance my experience on the device with day to day tasks. I would highly recommend this top notch device to anyone looking for a truly premium experience or just a reliable trustworthy phone in general.

items 9: content: Samsung has released its latest AI centered smart phone which really excels.
AI is incorporated into its photography and editing making the process of photo editing easy.
Samsung has partnered with Google to incorporate Gemini features into the phone seamlessly enhancing daily productivity.
The camera comes with an additional lens, which allows for seamless zooming in and out.
Video has a good enhancement for low light filming as well as the ability to easily suppress ambient sounds so as to focus only on the important sounds/ audio.
The phone sports a high definition screen with auto upscaling of low resolution videos so you benefit from a better image and watching experience. Colours are vivid and excellent for a good cross section of films from cartoons, nature documentaries and sci-fi films for what I was able to watch.
Audio is excellent with 4 speakers giving an immersive experience for films and surround sound audio.
In my experience of using the S25 Ultra thr phone remained cool and did not stutter when running multiple tasks and videos at the same time. The new Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy Processor really is working well and is also rated for high performance games.
Battery life also is excellent and in my couple of hours of heavy usage with video and audio playing, ai processing and video filming and editing, the battery life only went down by 8%.
Overall a great phone with increased battery life, enhanced processing power and more robust screen and casing.

type: REVIEWS
items 10: content: As a long term Samsung Galaxy user, there is a lot of familiarity, however the power and AI integration take capabilities to a new level. I've come from an S21+, so quite a step up in model.
On a practical level, the screen is great, the size (S25 Ultra) is fine even with a good case and it sits easily in my hand, whilst also fitting in my jeans pocket. Battery is fine for a full day's hard use, probably get you a day and a bit with lighter use. Charging is fast - definitely a lot faster than my old S21+. So if you do need to put some extra juice in, even a 10 or 15 blast will get you through an evening out or Teams call.
From a UI perspective, it's very familiar, with everything working quickly and slickly. I like the additional personalisation of the Home Screen and the lock screen widgets are more functional (and therefore useful) than before. There is also additional personalisation of the settings shortcuts, which I really like and I'm using frequently.
I still find the change in gestures for navigating around annoying (for about a year now this involves swiping from the edge of the screen as 'back'). It annoys me because it is easy to accidentally navigate 'back' rather than select something or swipe to next photo etc. I think this is slightly better on the new phone though, so they must have adjusted a few things.
Once beyond that minor annoyance, this phone does everything I need plus a whole load more. I'm still getting used to the camera, and don't think I've got it set up quite right yet, but I can see the potential for some amazing photos. The zoom is hugely impressive compared to my old S21+; the stabilisation makes it useable and very powerful.
However, stealing the show is the AI integration. Picture editing is very, very easy and the resulting photos are amazing. With my old phone it was possible to delete things, but there was often something left... Now it is near perfect every time! Even with complex backgrounds. The ability to add things to images quickly and easily is super cool... I'm sure it will be useful, although for now it is mainly my kids using it to make silly pictures.
I've signed up to the Google One AI subscription (free for 6 months!) and the integration and power is phenomenal. The translation features are excellent and very handy, but the image creation and Gemini advanced are superb. I'm already using them to assist with my work and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra handles this beautifully.
I use Android Auto a lot and this remains pretty much exactly the same. Hopefully this will get some updates soon, as I'm sure more could be down with it.
The Now Bar and Brief are good ideas, but I'm not yet seeing them do much then giving me a handy preview of my diary a d the weather. My Watch already does this for me. Perhaps it will get better as it 'learns' more about me and my interests etc.
In general, I highly recommend the S25 Ultra and I think this will get even better as I understand more about how to use the AI features, optimise the camera, etc.

items 11: content: I absolultey love the galaxy s25 ultra. It feels like a huge updgrade from my s21 ultra. So may things have improved like:
Screen: The screen feels a little bit sharper thanks to the new pro scalar engine and visibility is greatly improved outdoors due to the anti reflective coating which also means i can keep the brightness level a little lower saving battery
Battery: The battery life is absolutely amazing. This phone lasts me a full 24 hours with between 6-7 hours screen ontime. A huge updgrade from the s21 ultra that i had to charge twice daily.
Camera: The camera quality is one of the biggest improvements here. Photos in the day and night are more detailed. Plus the video recording quality @4k 60fps is so much better, on the s21 ultra Exynos model 4k 60fps was unusable indoors or if it wasn't a very bright lit enviroment. But with the s25 ultra this is totally not the case. Videos are sharp and detailed and in the daytime i'd even say it's better than the 16 pro max, at night however it does need some tuning. But overall amazing. I've attatched an image of a picture i took.
Gaming: Amazing performance in games like fornite @90fps max settings, pubg new state@90fps max settings etc.... THis phone provides great fps and stays surprisingly cool. One recomendation i have is to download thermal guardian and increase the thermal throttle threshold by 2 degrees so it doesn't thermal throttle as much. My only gripe here is that after 20 mins of gameplay, playing fornite @90fps the fps can tank quite sharply o 40-55fps for a minute or 2 and then fluctuate in and out of this fps range quite a lot as the phone cools down and then heats up again. If you're reading this Samsung, please allow us to increase the thermal throttle threshold by more than 2 degrees in thermal guardian so the phone can run hotter for longer, as the phone stays already cool as it is while gaming. There's alot more cooling headroom than you think.
Overall amazing phone. Highly recommend.

items 12: content: I have been a loyal Samsung customer for as long as I can remember, having had pretty much every other model of phone and I was patiently waiting for the S25 ultra to come out, and WOW. I love the new edges and titanium finish, it feels a lot more luxury. My favourite feature which is giving me and friends a great laugh is the editing features on photos!! It's ability to backfill images is incredible, and im having a lot of fun with the sketch to add feature too.
The speed of the phone is next level and it's new OS is really smart. It took a while to get used to the pull down for notifications and settings being split at the top of the screen but I now really like it.
The now brief is fun although I feel like it could have more added into it as at the moment it's just weather, sleep and daily score. I'd like to see more apps and personal details incorporated into it, but im sure that's all to come in future updates. The camera has been improved a lot since the S23 Ultra but it's less noticeable in guess, although I do take a LOT of photos and theyre all impeccable. Samsungs camera is the number one reason i have stuck with Samsung for all these years, and so please don't ever lose focus on that! However, im sad that the S-pen click feature has been removed as I took all of my selfie pictures out with friends using that, and as all my friends have iphones (BOOOO), whenever I would do that, they would always be amazed and it has become a running joke over the past couple of years. I would also like the AI to work across more apps, as I am using Gemini a lot and enjoying it, but it doesn't seem able to talk to any of my apps other than my calendar. I'd like to see the AI cross-app functionality improved and become smarter.
Overall, im very happy and will always stan Samsung. Love you x

items 13: content: Overall it is pretty good device, the features are fantastic, particularly the camera. It is able to pivot after each shot to keep the angel, incredible zoom function with great editing software. The AI helps correct any details that you do not want in the photo, removing people and objects that should not be there.
The battery is very good, or the features are efficient, as it lasts a whole day with my usage. Comes with a feature to extend battery life over the lifetime of the device, will be useful.
The AI in general needs work, the features I have used so far with Gemini are ok, but it makes stuff up and struggles with simple answers. The image generator is very simple and lacks variety, I have been able to add fish to my fish tank. The feature to turn your photos into sketch's and the like are ok, but your probably better with professional editing software and doing the changes yourself.
The AI cannot yet summarize websites or webpages, my be the browser I am using. And it cannot see pictures on your device and interact with apps on request. It has potential but still needs to improve.
The AI interpreter really struggles, when my family are talking European Portuguese, it has no idea what they are saying with sentences. May pick up a few words but it is not very good in a casual setting. Have yet to try the translation over the phone.
The shape of the device has iPhone feels, rounded corners but overall, feels blocky in my hand. The split notifications (left) and settings (right) is something to get used to, frustrating right now for me.
I will be sticking with the device, the AI features I expect to improve overtime and the camera is fantastic with superb features.

items 15: content: The Samsung S25 Ultra aims for the apex, and largely delivers. Its camera system, as expected, is phenomenal, capturing detailed shots even in low light. "Audio Eraser" works surprisingly well, cleaning up background noise in video recordings (or even enhancing sounds you want, integrated AI is amazing!!!). The display is vibrant and smooth, enhancing the seamless actions across apps experience. Navigation is fluid, and the processing power handles demanding tasks without a hitch. "Now Brief" provides a quick, useful summary of key information, though its utility varies.
The integration with the AI is excellent, in fact I used it to write this review. The customization you can get on this phone is unbelievable: Samsung does it very well with the Good Lock app (please Samsung, bring back the "Black Hole" option in Edge Lighting +!!!). Battery life is solid, easily lasting a full day, although I would have preferred Samsung to implement the new technology. The color is stunning, Silverblue has some amazing shades. The only things i didn't like were the removal of the bluetooth functionality of the pen and the camera bezels: although they give the phone a more than appreciable look, they don't seem very solid. Also I would have liked them to be arranged differently, so as not to interfere with some mag safe accessories. While the price is premium, the S25 Ultra packs in a suite of advanced features and performance, making it a compelling choice for power users.

title: AI takes to new level, customisation unbelievable
type: REVIEWS
items 16: content: I upgraded my phone from the s21 ultra to the s25 ultra recently. Big changes to note for me are the speed of the new phone, the s pen, the battery life and the ai integration.
I use my phone mainly for messaging, watching videos, taking pictures, and listening to music. The s25 ultra allows me to do this much better than my old phone.
The camera is noticeably improved over my s21, especially when taking pictures in low light and at zoom levels between the levels of the cameras. It's clear that some level of post processing is applied to the photos after taking. Using ai to make adjustments to pictures has almost flawless results - it does however leave a watermark on pictures.
The speakers are quite good on the s25, which was quite a nice surprise when playing videos without headphones.
The screen is a large improvement over my old phone - glare is almost eliminated even in direct sunlight and the screen is visible from all angles. Screen brightness more than adequate for most situations.
The phone itself seems sturdy and well built. There is no visible damage despite me not using a phone case for the last couple of weeks and carrying the phone in my pocket and dropping it onto a wooden floor indoors occasionally.
Moving my files and settings from my old phone to my new phone was made easy during the set up process and was completed in no more than an hour.
One thing I do wish for is a Bluetooth s pen - previous generations had this feature amd this would be useful for me as a remote camera shutter.
Overall I feel that the phone is good value for money compared to my previous phone and I look forward to using it for many years to come

items 17: content: Two weeks using the Galaxy S25 Ultra revealed to me that it completely surpassed what I anticipated from a smartphone. The cell phone offers an excellent screen experience which combines intense brightness with smooth 120Hz refresh rate for superior streaming and gaming.
Among the camera systems I have ever utilized this stands out as the best. When photographing in daylight and poorly lit conditions the device produces sharp high-resolution images with intense colors. This device stands out with its astonishing zoom technology which enables users to get sharp images of remote objects.
Since the device features the new chipset users experience lightning-fast performance. Users enjoy effortless multitasking while their applications launch instantly and demanding games operate without any delay. I am delighted with the extended battery capacity because I can use it all day without refueling it and the recharging process is efficient.
A minor inconvenience exists because Samsung should include a faster charging adapter as a standard accessory. Nevertheless, this small drawback does not diminish the phone's outstanding performance.
The 2025 flagship phone category features this device as one of its top choices. I highly suggest this premium phone to people who need extraordinary performance together with outstanding camera functionality along with sophisticated design features.

items 19: content: I have been using my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra extensively for more than three weeks with most of it being abroad.
The battery life of this phone is very sturdy. I have been using the phone for 16 hours per day and the battery has consistently been over 60%. I have never felt any fear that my phone would die on me when I was out for the whole day while being in a foreign country. This was me using Google maps to navigate, searching up nearby landmarks, restaurants, listening to music with a bluetooth device, and using the camera to take a lot of pictures. Never felt the need to conserve battery life for the day ahead. Having a nice long battery life is probably the most important aspect of a phone for anyone.
The most important feature for me is the camera. The pictures are clear and are impressive with the range of features to help you take the perfect shot. Taking pictures at night with low lighting was easy and was able to encapsulate the presence well. The videos I took were nice and the noise eraser was super useful, especially when taking a video in a tourist landmark and you want to suppress/erase those unnecessary chatter sounds.
Processing power makes the phone responsive, and handles any task seamlessly. Having multiple apps opened and switching between them never felt sluggish at all. The build quality is amazing. The titanium frame makes the phone premium and luxurious when holding it. A little detail but the rounded corners is an important touch as it made handling the phone comfortable, especially during prolonged. With sharp corners, I start to feel it digging into my palm after a while. The AMOLED screen is a standout feature with its crystal clear quality to bring when viewing photos or videos.
Even though I have been using this phone everyday for the past three weeks, I have still yet to fully utilise the range of AI features it has. So far, the AI has been impressive.
I am very pleased with this phone, and I highly recommend this phone to anyone looking for an upgrade. A sleek luxury phone that contains lots of impressive features.

items 20: content: I love the design of the galaxy overall. I loved the boxy shape of the s24 ultra but this one is curved at the corners which is what I wanted. Also, whilst the s24 ultra was nicer to hold on the sides, due to the curves, it easily slipped from my hands; the flat sides of the S25 ultra solves that issue (although it is less comfortable to hold because of that, but I like it) I think for the camera rings I prefer the s24 ultra look but overall, especially in the titanium jet-black colour, it looks very, very nice.
The display is incredible. The slim bezels and the anti-reflective coating is absolutely underrated on a phone. Honestly, viewing outdoors is such a breeze. Yes, other smartphones may have higher peak brightness, but because of that matte like display, it doesn't need to achieve that high level of brightness, resulting in a phone that is less hot during sunny days, and less stress on the battery. Absolutely one of, if not the best display so far.
For the software, one UI 7 is a great addition. Love the customisation that's available especially the home up make over in good lock. The animations feel fluid, everything looks just that bit more modern and in line with the rest of the smartphones out in 2025. The AI features are great addition. I love the magic eraser, most likely the best on the market (honestly it's magic). The now brief is a bit bare bones at the moment, I hope it gets updated to support 3rd party apps. The now bar is very useful feature that I use quite regularly when listening to music or using a timer. The s-pen (RIP Bluetooth) whilst it still retains the main usability of the previous version, the lack of Bluetooth is a let down. That being said, I never used it but it was a nice to have feature. Overall, I think one UI 7 is one of thebest android skins out and probably the best when it comes to customisation.
Cameras, I think the videos have gotten a bigger improvement compared to the s24 ultra overall. That was the change I noticed the most. The pictures are I'd say marginally better (aside from the ultra wide, that is a good upgrade overall). I wish the 3x optical zoom will be upgraded to match that of the rest of the camera hardware and then I really do think it will be a good overall package. However, for next year, it will be critical for Samsung to showcase some big upgrades in hardware for the camera overall since others available in the market have not only caught up, but exceeded their quality.
Performance is absolutely fantastic. The Snapdragon 8 elite is a blisteringly fast chipset. Everything feels smooth and fluid. Apps load quicker than ever before, games play great without any stuttering or lag. And I'm able to play for longer without it getting too hot to the touch, just a tad warm so the cooling system is working great too.
Battery life I'd say is better than the S24 ultra but only a little bit. I'm getting between 6-8 hours screen on time depending on usage. The Snapdragon 8 elite does help in this regard since it is more efficient than previous generation. Although, strangely, I got 8 hours easily during the first 2 weeks of usage of the phone and then afterwords, it noticed it dimish to 6-ish. I can get 8 hours during light use but I was able to get that during my normal usage. Not sure what changed, maybe after it learned my usage pattern? Still it's alright, but again, this is one area Samsung needs to provide critical upgrade for the next series since everyone else has got 6000 or even more in some cases in a slimmer form factor.
I got a good deal from the s24 ultra to the s25 ultra which is why I upgraded. It's nice iteration but not a generational leap. From the s21 and before, it's a fantastic upgrade (maybe even the s22) but there is no need to upgrade from the s23 and s24 ultra. But if you want the latest and greatest that is available (probably for the rest of 2025) the s25 ultra is definitely the way to go. You won't regret this purchase.

items 21: content: This is a massive upgrade from my Galaxy S21 Ultra. I decided to take the plunge, as I was very happy with the deal that I got through the Samsung app, otherwise I would not have bought this model. I would not pay over £1500 for any phone.
I am very happy with the feel, build quality and design of the phone. It sits nicely in my hand, which is good considering I do not have big hands. I am not sure how it would handle an impact with the floor, and I do not wish to find out. For this reason, I have put a clear case on it, as I bought the titanium blue silver model, which I really like. You can just see the colour in certain light, which is a good effect.
I have enjoyed my previous phones with rounded edges around the screen. I was a little reluctant to change to a flat screen to be honest, but I have found that I really like the change. The picture is bright and vibrant, and holds much detail. The blacks are black, which looks great together with the amazing colours.
Although I cannot currently use my USB C headphones, as they do not currently seem to be compatible, the sound from the phones speakers sounds really good for a phone. Loud, crisp with a nice bit of bass. I know that some USB C headphones work, and hopefully the ones I have will be added to the compatible list soon. I am not too disappointed, as I realise that when you preorder a phone, there are going to be problems to begin with. My wireless Bluetooth headphones work and sound great, but I am not ready to give up my wired ones just yet.
One of the things which has massively changed from my old phone, is the amount of AI on it. I will probably not use most of it, but I like what I have seen in the apps I have used so far. I will probably have a good look at what is available and how I can benefit from it.
I have only used the camera a small amount, and once again, I am more than happy with the upgrade. The pictures on the screen are clearer, and more vibrant without using the remaster, which I occasionally used on my last phone. Again, I have not used all of the options that are available, but I will enjoy seeing what the new camera can do. So far, I am very happy with the pictures that I have taken, especially the ones in lower light environments.
The one place where I was surprised that there had not been an upgrade within 4 years, was the battery. It holds the charge better than my old phone, but it is the main place where I am a bit disappointed. I have to admit, that I have battered my new phone since I received it, but not a huge amount more than normal. I have not yet played games, watched downloaded videos, or streamed much video, apart from a small amount on YouTube.
Overall, I am extremely happy with the upgrade from the Galaxy S21 Ultra. I would recommend the upgrade from from this model and ones below, but I can comment on anything after that model. As I have previously said in my review - the only place where I am a bit disappointed is with my USB C headphones not currently being compatible, and the lack of a battery upgrade in 4 years. In my opinion though, if you are still wondering whether to make the upgrade, In my case, the enhanced performance of the Galaxy S25 Ultra was well worth it, thanks to the deal that I managed to get with my first purchase and various other offers through the app. I am looking forward to having this model for a few years, like I have enjoyed all my previous Samsung phones.
