Ever since I switched to the Samsung galaxy S25 Ultra, my biggest headache hasn’t been the tech, but the sharp corners.
After a few hours of scrolling, I actually feel the edges digging into my palm.
It’s a massive, powerful beast, but sometimes it feels like holding a glass-covered brick.

Benefits: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
- The screen is a cheat code.
It has this anti-reflective coating that makes the display look great even under the afternoon sun. - It’s incredibly fast.
Apps open instantly and games run without a single hiccup, thanks to the new Snapdragon chip. - The S-Pen is still king.
If you like signing PDFs or doodling during boring meetings, no other phone comes close. - Camera zoom is magic.
You can take a clear photo of a bird across a park or a menu from the back of a cafe. - Battery lasts almost a day.
Even with heavy use, I rarely look for a charger before I go to bed at night.
The Real Problems: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
- Sharp Edges: The boxy design makes it uncomfortable to hold without a bulky case.
- Battery Drain: Some users report background apps eating battery too fast unless you manually “deep sleep” them.
- Lousy Fingerprint Sensor: If your skin is dry or you use a thick screen protector, the scanner often fails.
- Camera Processing: Moving subjects (like kids or pets) still come out a bit blurry in low light.
Slow Charging: For a phone this expensive, 45W charging feels old compared to rivals that charge in half the time. - Some users find the UI visually cluttered and not easy to change fonts.
- Low-light selfie performance can be weak.
- Heating and fast battery drain reported during light use.
- Charging speed is slower than many cheaper phones.
- Camera processing sometimes over-smooths or changes colors.
- Mixed feelings on design — some say it feels less premium.
The Review – Daily Usage Experience:
- Living with this phone is mostly a luxury experience, but it has its quirks.
- The screen is 6.9 inches of pure vibrance, which is great for Netflix but makes one-handed use impossible.
- I’ve noticed that while the performance is top-tier, the phone can get quite warm during long gaming sessions.
- The software, One UI 8, is much cleaner now, and the “Now Bar” for live notifications is actually helpful.
- The camera is great, but don’t expect a DSLR; it still struggles with natural skin tones sometimes.
How It Compares with other models
Vs iPhone 16 Pro Max: The iPhone feels better in the hand and takes better video, but Samsung’s screen is way more vivid.
Vs Pixel 9 Pro XL: The Pixel takes more “natural” photos, but Samsung destroys it in raw speed and gaming.
The Verdict:
Buy it if…
You want the best screen on the market and you actually use the S-Pen for work or creativity.
Skip it if…
You have small hands, hate boxy designs, or want a phone that charges to 100% in 20 minutes.
