Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra — The Android King Returns

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra — this isn’t just a smartphone, it’s a statement. Following last year’s S24 Ultra, which many considered the “perfect Android,” the Korean company decided to push forward. And, it’s fair to say, they succeeded.

Design and Display

Samsung continued using titanium for the body but reworked the form — the edges are slightly more rounded, making the phone more comfortable to hold. The 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 3000 nits is one of the best screens on the market.

Camera

The 200 MP main module remains, but Samsung put serious work into the processing algorithms. Night photography has improved noticeably, and the new telephoto lens with 10x optical zoom lets you capture detailed shots even from a great distance.

Performance

Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 (or Exynos 2500 depending on the region) + 12 GB RAM = zero lag. Games fly, apps open instantly, and One UI 7 on Android 16 runs flawlessly.

Battery Life

A 5500 mAh battery with 65W charging support (finally!). Full charge in 45 minutes. Battery lasts about a day and a half with heavy use.

Verdict

Pros:

  • Best display on the market
  • Excellent camera with powerful zoom
  • Titanium build, IP68, S Pen
  • Fast charging

Cons:

  • Pricey
  • A bit heavy (234 g)

Rating: ⭐ 4.8 / 5
