Beautiful, Super Functional Phone! One of Samsung's Best.
Color: Titanium Black
Size: 512GB
Style: S25 Ultra
Pattern Name: Phone Only
I didn't buy this for myself. My Hubby wanted this particular phone when we switched from one of the "Big Three" phone companies to a smaller, cheaper service. We bought it unlocked for a GSM service, usable and compatible with our new phone plan. I've only gotten to hold this thing a couple of times
, but I have a lot to say about it! First, this phone is enormous! He upgraded from a Galaxy S21 FE 5G, which I thought was close in size, but somehow, the S25 feels much bigger. It's quite hefty in weight, too, which is perfect for the tremor he has in his left hand. Having a heavier object tends to squelch the shaking a bit. The display is crystal clear and brilliant. Movies and TV shows never looked so good on a handheld device as they do with this one. Games run super fast with no lag, and charging takes no time at all with a proper fast charging system. And now, the feature I've wanted in a phone for a long time...? The smart pen/stylus. Man, this thing is slick. I had to use it to capture my signature for an e-sign document. For once, my signature actually looked like I had signed it. Getting the file from his phone to my PC was pretty simple to do, as they connected via Bluetooth to do so. The stylus has a cozy little home tucked into its own space and won't come out (or it hasn't yet) by just dropping or knocking the phone against something. That thing is in there for the long haul until you want it out. This phone is everything I've come to expect from Samsung's Galaxy S series. A bit on the pricey side, but to him, it's worth every penny. He loves the Titanium Black color he purchased, as he fancies the darker colors with phones and just about everything else. At least he coordinates! The bright, AMOLED display is crystal clear with brilliant, vivid colors. It's such a neat phone, one like I've always wanted for myself, but could never quite afford. Spring for a new phone and get this beauty. You really won't be sorry.

Great camera!
Color: Titanium Silverblue
Size: 256GB
Style: S25 Ultra
Pattern Name: Phone Only
Bought this for my wife to replace her Note-10+ that was on its last legs. I am really impressed with the internal speakers as well as the rear-facing camera, which has a really high pixel density. I recently shot a photo at a distance of perhaps 1/2 mile with my Note-10+ and she shot the same photo
with her S25 Ultra; the two photos were in no way comparable. My Note-10+ left me with a photo of little detail when I tried to zoom in to read a sign, but the S25 Ultra produced a shot that when zoomed in was perfectly legible. I couldn't read the text on my photo while hers was as clear as if she had been standing ten feet away from it. I don't imagine my Note-10+ will die in the near future, but if it does I will be looking at an S25/26 Ultra to replace it. Her speakers are much louder than mine and have greater clarity to them. I used to think the Note-10+ had the best speakers, but not now. Samsung has really taken some strides in the last eight to ten years. My wife still has complaints about her phone...is there a woman who doesn't? I can't count the times she's said "I want it to do this..." or "I don't want it to do that." Most often it isn't the phone, it's Google or some other app that has changed how it works. Traditionally Android has been a little less locked down than ios, and I appreciate that as I don't like being locked down; but recently Android is moving toward that tightly locked down model. Too bad. But Samsung has produced a really great smart-phone with features that are first-rate.

After Two Months, I'm Convinced. This is a Beast.
Color: Titanium Black
Size: 512GB
Style: S25 Ultra
Pattern Name: Phone Only
Upgraded from an older Motorola, and wow, what a leap. I’ve been using this phone for about two months now, and it just feels like a power tool in my pocket—in the best way possible. Let’s start with the obvious: the screen. It’s absolutely stunning. The flat display is a GAME-CHANGER. No more accide
ntal touches, and applying screen protectors is finally a stress-free experience. The brightness is insane; I can read everything perfectly clear under direct sunlight. Watching videos and scrolling is just buttery smooth. The camera system is next-level, especially for zoom. The 5x optical zoom lens is the real deal. I took a photo of the moon (yes, I became that person) and the details were incredible. But it’s not just a party trick. I used the 10x zoom at my kid's soccer game and could actually see faces clearly from the bleachers. The 200MP main sensor captures crazy detail if you have good light, and the low-light photos are far cleaner than on my old phone. The AI editing tools are also surprisingly useful for quickly removing photobombers or shadows. Performance is flawless. Everything is instant, apps launch fast, switching between them is seamless, and gaming is super smooth. The battery life is a marathon runner. I’m a heavy user (emails, social media, YouTube, some gaming), and I easily get through a full day with 20-30% to spare. The S-Pen is as handy as ever for quick notes and edits. I was worried about the titanium build and boxy design being uncomfortable, but it feels premium and solid in the hand. The matte finish doesn’t pick up fingerprints, which is a huge win. Is it perfect? It’s a big, heavy phone—no getting around that. And it’s expensive. You’re paying for the absolute top of the line. But if you want the maximum possible from a smartphone right now, this is it. Pros: Gorgeous flat display, unbeatable zoom camera, all-day+ battery life, blazing fast performance, useful S-Pen, premium titanium build. Cons:Large and heavy (not for everyone), very high price tag. Verdict:9.5/10. It’s the ultimate do-everything smartphone. If you’re a power user, a creative, or just want the best camera system on the market, this phone is worth every penny. No regrets at all.

WOW

I've never paid half this for a phone before. But, this one is worth it. 6 months of use and I've loaded every app I've ever wanted - the ones my old phone wouldn't run because they took up too much memory. And, it works great. Reception is a little better than any of my old phones even at my house i
n the boonies. It automatically connects to the laptop and the car without issue. It seems like every device has problems. This phone somehow got set to "silent" mode for the ring-tone (3 times). Otherwise, no other issues. The zoom and macro features on the camera are great. Resolution is excellent. Now, if I could just zoom the QR code reader... I use all the position sensors - tilt, compass, etc. They are great for stargazing apps. The electronic SIM card came in handy, too. The notification icons at the top of the screen could be a little bigger (or adjustable).

Great phone, but some feedback for future iterations
Color: Titanium Gray
Size: 256GB
Style: S25 Ultra
Pattern Name: Phone Only
Phone is a beast that hasn't flinched at anything I threw at it. Cameras have been great. Software is best in class, s pen is handy for quick notes. I do have some feedback for samsung though, some of these are nitpicks but I do wanna bring those up. - Camera is great for my usage but it would be gre
at if the array of cameras was in a horizontal visor akin to the pixel -OIS on the space zoom camera. Sometimes I use my phone like binoculars when hiking and wanna snap a quick pic. Also maybe copy some ideas from apple like the camera button, the magnetic sensor shift stabilization, and square sensor. - More ram would be appreciated, 12gb is no slouch and I have no doubts it won't be a painpoint but competitors like google have it albeit with a much weaker chip. It's not that the phone isn't future proof, it's more that there could be more to be done. That being said the RAM shortage is surely gonna keep 12gb the standard for the foreseeable. future. -PLEASE KEEP THE SPEN. I don't care for bluetooth functionality but other people do. I just like it for quick notes and using it like a mouse. Honestly I wouldn't consider this phone if it didn't have it. -Silicon carbon battery? Now the battery has been able to last me a full day with the light performance profile, 1080p resolution, mostly on wifi, 6-9 hours of SoT depending what I'm doing. I do understand the US has some regulations on battery capacity and samsung might still have ptsd from the note 7, but companies like oneplus have it. Yes they do age faster then conventional batteries but even so, an aged silicon carbon battery can still have better battery than a conventional lithium ion. -I don't really play games on my phone, mostly use my steamdeck for that but I'm just gonna throw this out there... a sprititual successor to the xperia play would make me so happy. -Samsung I love oneui but please stop making duplicate apps for everything. It's a minor annoyance since you can uninstall/hide everything but come on don't be annoying. -speech to type is better on the pixel from what I've read online -maybe support the aptx adaptive and aptx hd bluetooth codecs -Bring gemini to android auto. Now I'm not a big ai user I turn off most everything except gemini and circle to search, I think it's obnoxiously implemented but google assistant is just plain stupid when using android auto. Also while on the topic of gemini, I want to be able to tell gemini "play *song* by *artist* and it not be limited to youtube music and spotify. I wanna use other services like deezer or my locally downloaded music. -front facing speakers. I appreciate the stereospeakers but how cool would it be if we had both speakers front facing? -finally please implement a "hold for me" and call tree like pixels do. I know it sounds like I'm just envying pixel software feature but that would seriously be game over. Phone trees seems to be brain numbing nowadays and hold music is a form of torture.

Love the phone. I've had it for months and i never stop finding things it will do. The camera is on a par with some Nikon semi pro cameras I've owned. The pictures you can take with it are amazing. The reason I purchased this model was for the camera and it performs very well.

Excellent little powerhouse
Color: Titanium Silverblue
Size: 256GB
Style: S25 Ultra
Pattern Name: Phone Only
The Samsung S25 Ultra is an excellent phone from a hardware standpoint. The screen is beautiful, the speakers are loud and clear, and the camera takes great photos. Cell service and internet connectivity have been solid and reliable with no complaints. When I first purchased the phone, the battery li
fe was outstanding—easily close to two full days and comparable to the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Unfortunately, after being forced to install software updates, that battery performance dropped noticeably. What was once amazing is now just decent, with the phone ending a full day around 16% battery, even though I limit charging to 85% to preserve long-term battery health. This feels more like a software optimization issue than a hardware problem, which is disappointing. Bixby and Samsung’s built-in ecosystem are underwhelming to me, but Google’s Assistant AI works very well, and if you don’t like either option, using ChatGPT is a solid alternative. The S Pen is a nice added bonus and genuinely useful at times. The phone itself feels durable, though I still recommend using a case for extra protection. I purchased a new phone and received a new phone and perfect condition. I also haven’t experienced any screen burn-in issues, even with the always-on display enabled. Overall, it’s a powerful and premium device with excellent features, but software updates and battery regression keep it from being a top-tier experience.
