Hey everyone,
Just wanted to drop my review after using the galaxy s25 ultra for 1 month now. Earlier I was using s20 fe which was also a good phone but coming from s20fe to s25 ultra I could easily see a quite lot of difference.
The display is truly remarkable, it's incredibly sharp and bright. The anti-reflective capabilities are a game-changer, especially in bright sunlight. I've used it extensively outdoors while traveling in the mountains, and haven't experienced any visibility issues. My previous phone S20 FE or other phone, was much more difficult to use in bright sunlight.
Then the camera is a huge upgrade for me! I'm no pro photographer, but the photos are amazing compared to my sister's iPhone 15 Pro Max. Its generative editing, like erasing objects, works quite well on any photos. I couldn't find any flaws until now. One thing I noticed is that if you try to remove a lot of objects from the picture, then you can easily tell that an AI tool has been used.
Coming to battery life, I'm not a very heavy user, so I usually get screen time between 10-12 hours. This includes some casual gaming and YouTube, which is way better than my older phone.
For me, the one I use most is Galaxy AI Composer, which helps me quite a lot in writing my emails, such as fixing grammar mistakes. Sometimes I use its writing style, too. It's not perfect, but it gives you a solid base upon which to write your content. Also, the Gemini integration is a game changer for me now you can directly ask questions by pressing power button, you can click an image, or use gallery to ask questions, which is quite handy for me
Now, if I talk about cons one thing I noticed is that sometimes when I play Genshin Impact, my phone becomes hot even though I have just started playing. This has occurred quite some time, not every time, so I am not sure why. Maybe I had many apps open apart from it. I couldn't find many cons before purchasing; everyone was talking about the S Pen Bluetooth capability and how Samsung removed it. Honestly, after buying the phone, I have still not used it. I would say it is a kind of extra feature that they have removed. I guess this is a downgrade for people who used it in their older phones, but not for me.
Overall, I'm super happy with the upgrade. If you are coming from something like an S20 FE phone, you'll feel the difference.
