Reviewer verdict

Across 22 YouTube reviews, the Samsung Galaxy S25 earns an Index score of 3.7/5, ranking #73 among Smartphones. Reviewers most often praise its software, design and build, camera, while the most common criticisms concern value for money, software.

The Galaxy S25 is widely praised for its highly polished software experience and broad Galaxy AI features, with many reviewers (58 mentions) highlighting One UI 7, Android 15, seven years of updates, useful AI tools like AI Summarize, Draw Assist, Now Bar, live translate and improved fingerprint recognition. Reviewers also applaud the refined design and build (48 mentions) — thinner, lighter chassis, tiny bezels, stronger glass, and a more comfortable one‑handed feel. The cameras and imaging received frequent positive notes (41 mentions) for better processing, a higher‑resolution ultrawide on the Ultra, improved colors and stabilization, and powerful pro/video features. Reviewers additionally call out an excellent, very bright adaptive display (35 mentions), strong Snapdragon performance (22 mentions) and solid battery life improvements (19 mentions).

Criticism centers on value and iteration (42 mentions), with many reviewers calling the S25 an incremental update over the previous generation and questioning whether the changes justify an upgrade or the price. Software and feature decisions drew pushback (27 mentions), especially the removal of Bluetooth functionality from the S Pen, inconsistent usefulness of some AI gimmicks, and uncertainty about long‑term availability of premium AI features. Camera and design critiques (21 and 18 mentions) note that several models retain largely unchanged camera hardware or look very similar to prior years, and battery/charging complaints (17 mentions) point to unchanged charging speeds and concerns about battery capacity for heavy use. Display and a few connectivity/feature omissions were also raised by multiple reviewers.

The Samsung Galaxy s25 Ultra fixes an issue I highlighted last year with the Galaxy s24 Ultra: if you use a MAG safe compatible case and you have an accessory attached to it, the Spen would glitch out. On the s25 Ultra, Samsung has added an additional layer of shielding to prevent the issue from happening. That means that your SP pen Works without problems or skips when you attach a Mac safe accessory. This is great news for those who have a Mac safe wall on their phones all the time and a big win for expandability and practicality.

while the ultra wide camera upgrade on the Galaxy s25 Ultra is nice Samsung is falling behind in camera Innovation. When looking at options abroad we see 1-in sensors and other Advanced quad 50 megapixel cameras or higher in competing phones that can get exceptional low light performance because the hardware is more capable than relying on tons of AI and software for everything. Because of these nicer sensors you can get excellent natural depth of field.

while ip68 protection is good for the Samsung Galaxy s25 Ultra competitors like OnePlus and opo are adding ip69 ratings. The additional ip69 certification indicates that can handle higher temperature situations without your phone experiencing damage. If you put the Galaxy s25 Ultra in a dishwasher it's less likely to survive because it does not have an ip69 rating ▶ Samsung Galaxy S25 ULTRA REVIEW: The Good and Bad @ 8:24

Flagship phones aren't allowed to have bold fun colors and unfortunately the Samsung Galaxy s25 Ultra continues that trend.

one unfortunate thing about the Galaxy s25 Ultra is that Samsung still uses traditional lithium ion batteries while competitors are adopting silicon carbon technology. Phones using this new silicon carbon Battery Technology can have a higher capacity at thinner sizes and a longer lifespan because they can handle more charges at incredible speeds and heat without the same degradation concerns ▶ Samsung Galaxy S25 ULTRA REVIEW: The Good and Bad @ 9:37
the Samsung Galaxy s25 Ultra only maxes out at 45 wat super fast charging. This results in charging speeds that still take approximately one hour from zero to 100%. Meanwhile other phones charge at 80 WTS are faster which allows you to charge your phone from zero to 100% in about half the time ▶ Samsung Galaxy S25 ULTRA REVIEW: The Good and Bad @ 10:32

while the Samsung Galaxy s25 Ultra screen is still excellent It's essentially the same panel as last year's model. Sure it's using the new hop 3.0 display technology but that is essentially Samsung's own version of ltpo with minor benefits. What's more surprising is that other manufacturers use Samsung's newer AMOLED displays with support for w vision and higher brightness levels of over 4,000 nits while Samsung's flashship only reaches 2,600 nits. It's just kind of odd to see Samsung keeping the best screen technology from their premium phone ▶ Samsung Galaxy S25 ULTRA REVIEW: The Good and Bad @ 2:14

one of the most frustrating things about Android devices is their failure to adopt ch2 or Mac safe charging and accessories. On the Galaxy s25 Ultra Samsung has adopted the new and more confusing G2 ready standard which suffers from the trend of making all standards confusing and nonsensical. This G2 ready standard still doesn't allow you to attach accessories to the Galaxy s25 Ultra itself you must buy a case compatible with ch2 accessories ▶ Samsung Galaxy S25 ULTRA REVIEW: The Good and Bad @ 11:40
