When it goes to NYC to check the Galaxy S25 series before its start, I went without expectations. As my Galaxy S25 is evidenced by 3,000+ words of Ultra Hand on, I clearly came out with more than some ideas. Now go ahead, and I’ve been using the Galaxy S25 ultra for almost a week, but for some reason, I have been in a way.
I can’t help but I can feel like I see the Galaxy S25 ultra through Samsung’s roses (or blue) glasses. Everything that was announced and demoted seemed amazing, and it was in the first two hours. I was excited to try a clear front runner for the best Android phone of the year. And I was even more excited about the improvement of various Gemini and Galaxy AI.
Over the past week, there have been some things I have seen and some things I have forgotten about if it had not been for my RSS feeds and social media.
Nice
It may be just because I am addicted to the iPhone design, but I really like what Samsung has done to S25 Ultra. I don’t know if I like it more than S24 ultra, but at least, seeing Samsung using the same design language is a refreshing way. All His flagship phones. It includes Galaxy Z Folds 6 and Plut 6.
I’ve always been a fish for a good metal and glass sandwich, and the S25 ultra easily checks the box. The use of a matching phone with a price tag is not always a result, but I still have to give credit where it is owed.
Something else I have enjoyed well is to re -enter the Samsung ecosystem. Before the S25 ultra landed at my doorstep, I managed to snatch the galaxy Watch Ultra in about $ 200, thanks to the development of random trade. And seeing that I was already getting some new aerbeds, the galaxy’s buds 3 pro were quickly added to my cart.
A few years ago, I would probably have been one of the first people to make fun of Samsung’s attempt to imitate Apple. Now, I’m really thankful that the ecosystem works a lot. There are some hiccups that are not particularly related to the S25 ultra, but in the next article it will have ideas about me. If anything, it has proven how important the product’s environmental system is that works together without interruption.
If you read my early comments, then you saw that I could not close about AI. I am going to save most of my opinion for the final review, but I have to tell how much I have enjoyed having a briefing vegetable on my home screen. It has become part of my daily routine, because I tap the widget, and it refreshes all day to see what it will show.
It is really good to have some pieces of information offered to me, especially for someone who has a little obsession with how much sleep he feels. Increasing this “problem” is an energy score from Watch Ultra, but this is not a bad thing. It just stands in my madness because I am looking forward to see what suggestions are made for improvement.
Anxiously
Because as soon as the briefing has become part of my daily routine, it does not take too long to realize any damage. Near the bottom of the page, you occasionally get the news that “you will be interested.” However, it doesn’t matter what I have tried to do, it only recommends the news that I can’t care about.
I thought it could be done with the Samsung News app, yet it was never used. So I went through it and tried to harvest these topics, but it seems that he has done nothing. Instead, my short dashboard still manages to show me the “wrong” news.
Before you ask, yes, I now double the short settings, because there is a “adding content” section here. Unfortunately, you cannot change any topic from here and qualify or disable only by displaying “news”.
As far as the design goes, I appreciate the new design of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but it has an unpleasant problem. See, for the first two days after receiving the S25 ultra, I had no case for it. I am not too dealing with it, either in addition to the exception of using a fiber boron (formerly thin bourgeon) case or dabrand skin.
However, the Galaxy S25 ultra is so slippery that I was constantly upset that the phone was going to slip through my hands. In the midst of it and seeing that some of the parties from Samsung are 50 % off on Best Best, I caught some of them. Unfortunately, none of my local bestball stores had a “Ultra Clare Magnet Case”, so I chose silicone, kind of equipment, and standing grip issues.
This leads me to another anger, because I really wish that the Samsung Q2 would adopt the magnetic part of the protocol. It’s cool and that is the first to support the S25 series QI 2.1 standards, but I really don’t care about the charging speed aspect. What I care about is that I have used thousands of accessories for many years, and is not just disappointing.
As a result, I chose to slap the meg saffron adapter color in the back of the silicone case, so that I use a pop socket. This may be the hope of Samsung because if the S25 ultra had appropriate magnets, I would probably not have bothered to buy a case. I mean, why do I consider the use of a pop socket to help me use a case without a case?
Finally, when I talk about trying to use emulators on the S25 ultra, I’m a little disappointed. Samsung is not responsible for a part of my frustration, as Snapdragon 8 Elite has not passed out for a long time to properly improve emulators at the high end. For most parts, the switch and the Winletter Emotion is at the mercy of the stock drivers, which is clearly decreased.
I’m working deeply around Android, but once again, this is not a Samsung problem.
Something that’s going away from me is that Samsung went to the stage and talked about how the S25 ultra has a “40 % big” vapor chamber for cooling. It’s usually amazing for mobile gaming, but all the time just thinking about storage barriers like apple.
It is great to have 256 GB as a base configuration and all, but the only way to get more is to make Samsung more cash. It is also great that Samsung is basically giving you a free storage upgrade during pre -order phase. But it doesn’t do anything for people who lose the window or can’t upgrade yet.
Therefore, for someone who has a growing library of Rome and DRM -free games for the Winterator, 256 GB is not enough. For example, at this time, I have less than 40GB of space on the S25 ultra. It seems a lot, but in fact, it will not happen at any time because I take more pictures around my son’s first birthday corner.
I guess what I want to see is to release Samsung an “ultra” that does not cost. The Galaxy S25 ultra gets about 95 % of the way there, but what was it from issuing a “special edition” model that brings back the bill’s pen and includes the microSD card slot?
Ugly
Without the shadow of a doubt, Sen “defeat” just wanted to avoid social media and my RSS feeds more than anything. It’s been a week and already is so “anger” that it is merely compassionate. Samsung removed the bill from the Galaxy S25 ultra pen, and based on the answer, you may have thought that Samsung had taken away the headphone jack again.
Don’t think me wrong, I understand potential arguments. Samsung should not remove any features from a phone that starts at $ 1,200. And if you were one of the few people who used the air command, it probably feels like a treachery.
Samsung himself did not do any favors. Although the reasons were explained in my hand -on session, it was not mentioned during the pack without a galaxy. After that, we have seen as contradictory reports that the S25 ultra will work with some unannounced bills worth of S -pen, only for others to suggest that they will not do so.
I spent more than an hour in which I spent a pen around to wander with a crowd that I could find, trying to find out the answer. Only a strange, yet semi-helper, to conclude-technically you can use other Sen pens with S25 Ultra, but you cannot use the air process, and they first The Galaxy device has to be paired by which they have been signed. In the same Samsung account that your S25 ultra.
The addition of further fuel in the fire is that it took several days to provide some official guidance to Samsung. At this time, several articles have been revealed, and apparently, even a request is being made to bring the bill back into the pen. It is only in mind and I am afraid that the S25 ultra will be selected only after the reviewers and influence of people.
Where am I currently standing with Galaxy S25 Ultra?
After seeing how I felt after my hands -on session, I thought in fact that the S25 Ultra could be able to change my iPhone 16 Pro Max. And since I got into possession, it has in fact been able to do this for everything except phone calls and text messages.
The design is terrific and just looks amazing, even how slippery it is. Putting aside the problems of emulsion, the performance has been exactly what I hoped to do, and before I think about battery life, I am able to make it all day (and then something). I am also excited to see what Samsung will change and improve and now on a device AI and will now bring in short features.
What is more surprising than anything is that I am considering jumping on pre -order Bonaza and snatching the 1TB model. Basically because I like to see what to go back into a “phone” lifestyle, which would mean that my SIM card should be transferred out of the iPhone and to the S25 ultra. And this is the first non -foldable phone that has really been able to move this needle to me exactly.
