Our Take
Samsung's flagship Android smartphone for 2025, aimed at power users and productivity-focused professionals who want the best the company offers. The S25 Ultra sits at the top of Samsung's lineup, competing directly with the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and brings AI-assisted tools, a built-in S Pen, and a premium titanium build at a correspondingly premium price.
Key Features
Built-in S Pen stylus stored in the chassis for note-taking, sketching, and annotation
6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate
Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, the most powerful mobile chip available at launch
Quad-camera system headlined by a 200MP main sensor with optical zoom telephoto options
512GB internal storage with no microSD expansion slot
Galaxy AI suite including live call translation, note summarisation, and photo editing tools
Our Verdict
Buy it if you want the most capable Samsung phone available and genuinely use a stylus or need top-tier performance for years to come. If you rarely use the S Pen, the standard S25+ offers similar power at a lower price. iPhone loyalists won't be swayed.
