Full Written Review
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra sets a new benchmark for flagship smartphones in 2025. Its 200 MP main camera, paired with a versatile quad-lens system, delivers unparalleled photo and video quality, excelling in low-light and zoom scenarios. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for Galaxy, it offers blazing-fast performance, effortlessly handling demanding games and multitasking, with advanced cooling keeping thermals in check. The 6.9-inch AMOLED display, now brighter at 2000 nits peak, is a visual masterpiece, enhanced by LTPO and DC Dimming for efficiency and comfort. Battery life is stellar with a 5100 mAh capacity and 65W charging, though the lack of an in-box charger remains a drawback. One UI 7.0 on Android 15 is smooth and feature-rich, with S Pen integration reaching new heights. While its premium price and slight bulk may not suit everyone, the S25 Ultra is a top-tier choice for power users and tech enthusiasts.
