After spending a solid four months with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra as my daily driver, I’ve had enough time to dive deep into its performance, features, and quirks. This isn’t just about first impressions; it’s a real-world evaluation of how Samsung’s flagship holds up with consistent daily use. Whether for work, entertainment, photography, or casual browsing, I’ve relied on the S25 Ultra for everything. In this long-term review, I’ll cover its design, display, performance, battery life, camera quality, software experience, AI features, and overall reliability, blending personal experience with broader user sentiment and tech community feedback.
6Should you buy it?
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is a stellar phone that excels in most areas, from its gorgeous display and versatile camera to its smooth performance and innovative AI features. After using it for a couple of months, it felt like a reliable companion that adapted to my needs, whether for work, photography, or entertainment. If you’re upgrading from an older device (like the S23 Ultra or earlier) or switching from another brand, the S25 Ultra is a fantastic choice, especially with its seven-year update commitment. Particularly, I like it more than any other flagship for continuing to feature the S Pen.
For power users, the Vivo X200 Pro or Xiaomi 15 Ultra might offer competing hardware, but the S25 Ultra’s polished software, AI capabilities, and global availability make it the best Android phone for most people. At $1,299.99 (Rs 1,29,999 in India), it’s pricey, but its long-term reliability and feature set justify the cost for those seeking a premium experience.
Why did I use it for only four months? Because it was a review unit that had to be returned to the brand.
