Our Take
A renewed (refurbished) version of Samsung's 2025 flagship phablet, the Galaxy S25 Ultra sits at the very top of the Android market. With a built-in S Pen, 200MP main camera, and Samsung's Galaxy AI suite, it targets power users and creatives who want near-flagship performance at a reduced price point versus buying new.
Key Features
200MP main rear camera with multi-frame processing for exceptional detail in good light
Built-in S Pen stylus stored in the chassis, supporting note-taking and precision input
12GB RAM paired with 256GB internal storage (UFS-based, fast read/write speeds)
Galaxy AI features including live translation, note summarisation, and generative photo editing
Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset (UK variant), offering class-leading CPU and GPU performance
Large, bright QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED display with 120Hz adaptive refresh rate
Our Verdict
Ideal for Galaxy enthusiasts or S Pen users who want 2025's best Android hardware without paying full price, provided they're comfortable buying renewed. Those who need warranty peace of mind, or who've never needed a stylus, should consider a lower-tier new handset instead.
