Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra reviewed: slick and future-friendly
While the changes are minor and clearly not for anyone with last year’s phone, or even possibly the S23 Ultra before it , folks with slightly older variations may want to consider a move to the new model.- Simply one of the most powerful phones on market, Premium design and materials with a titanium frame, Camera has some solid chops, You get the S-Pen stylus (if you want it), Water resistance
- Design is a little iterative, Camera could still do with some more polish, AI features may not set your world on fire, No Qi2 charging
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra review: Malibu Stacy’s new hat looks great
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is a solid, very good phone. It’s exactly what you’d expect it to be, and nothing more.- Better heat dissipation, Very powerful, Great (if familiar) cameras
- Over-reliance on AI, Two assistants are confusing, Doesn’t really offer anything new
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is its best Android smartphone yet. In almost every area, it offers top-drawer specs and performance.- Slightly less reflective flat Gorilla Armor 2 and a bright display., Battery life is good, but heavy users will need to recharge daily., The camera is good but not class-leading. Needs more work., Powerful SoC but throttles terribly.
- Colour inaccurate image preview 8-bit display., USB-C is not fully implemented., Charging speed is not class-leading, and fast charging requires a Samsung-specific charger., Not enough hardware changes to jsutify updating your old Ultra., Samsung’s ecosystem is heading toward Apple’s walled garden.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra review: the ultimate Android
The Samsung S25 Ultra deftly manages to meld the consistent Galaxy S series aesthetic with all that made previous Ultras notable, including the S Pen. But this phone is also distinctly different to all previous Ultras, thanks to deep and richly baked-in generative AI capabilities.- Unified design that doesn't skimp on Ultra appeal, Biggest screen of the lineup, Powerful AI, Excellent battery life
- Generative AI doesn't always deliver, Samsung still shies away from total photo-reality
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra review: hardware takes a back seat to AI gains
It's no ground-up rework, but Samsung's latest hero still has a huge amount to offer- Simply outstanding performance, Largely unchanged cameras still among the best in class, Refined design and tougher build, Galaxy AI finally starting to feel like a cohesive whole
- Beaten on battery by cheaper rivals using newer tech, Few meaningful hardware changes from the last-gen phone, S Pen a downgrade on last year
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: AI above all else
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is an incredibly powerful and polished flagship that focuses too much on AI and not enough on hardware upgrades- Class-leading performance and battery life, Seven years of software support, Excellent cameras now come with LOG video
- Display not up to the flagship standard, Rivals have more robust IP ratings, S Pen no longer has Bluetooth
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Review: More Than Meets The Eye
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is a familiar face, but a very different beast. It's a phone defined by subtle refinements and a few bold choices, making it a compelling upgrade.- Good Cameras, LOG Video recording for aspiring YouTubers, Class-leading battery life, Improved charging, Useful AI Features, 7 years of Updates!
- No Dolby Vision support, S Pen losses Bluetooth support, Still Expensive
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Review: A Powerful Smartphone That’s a Little Boring
The design tweaks are nice, but that's not a reason to upgrade. Neither is a bunch of new AI tricks. Samsung's ultimate phone could do so much more.- Big, anti-reflective display, Lighter chassis, Higher-resolution ultra-wide angle lens
- Not much of a camera upgrade, Everything else is about AI, Where's the magnets???
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra isn’t so ‘ultra’ anymore
Still big. Still great. But Samsung is losing the plot on what makes the Ultra so extra.- Excellent screen, Improved ultrawide camera, Rounded corners are comfier
- Expensive, Bulky, AI is (still) hit or miss
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Review: a powerhouse you won’t regret buying
“The Galaxy S25 Ultra is all the flagship powerhouse smartphone you'll need for years to come.”- Lighter than previous models, Anti-reflective screen looks amazing, New wide-angle camera takes great photos, Powerhouse processor, Long software update commitment, One UI 7 is the best version yet
- No Bluetooth on the S Pen, Galaxy AI features have limited appeal, Main camera disappoints, Qi2 wireless charging not built in
