Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra review: Boring but brilliant
I didn’t want to love the S25 Ultra. It’s one of the smallest generational updates we’ve ever seen, and there’s no excuse for that with so much innovation happening elsewhere. But it’s a wonderful phone that’s a pleasure to use and there’s no area where the S25 Ultra falls short.- Slick software, The most advanced AI around, Gorgeous anti-reflective screen, Image processing has improved
- Barely any hardware upgrades, S Pen has no Bluetooth, Expensive
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is a stellar but extremely boring smartphone
The highest-end variant of Samsung's flagship smartphone lineup for 2025, the S25 Ultra ships with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a massive 6.9-inch display, and a quad camera setup.- Stunning design, Snaps great photos, Minimized bezels look great
- Very similar to the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Now Brief isn't great, Most Galaxy AI features aren't useful

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
