The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is a sleek and powerful smartphone with a stunning display, top-notch performance, and advanced AI features. However, some AI features need refinement.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is, at first glance, everything you'd expect from the pinnacle of Samsung 's smartphone lineup: a near-borderless, titanium-framed behemoth that exudes premium craftsmanship. Design-wise, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is thinner, lighter, and sports accentuated edges. It’s tougher, smarter, and more refined than its predecessors, with AI-infused software that aims to streamline your daily interactions.
The S25 Ultra comes in four colourways: Titanium Silverblue, Titanium Whitesilver, Titanium Gray, and Titanium Black. Its online-exclusive colours feature Titanium Pinkgold, Titanium Jetblack, and Titanium Jadegreen. But while Samsung's latest flagship is a feat of engineering and design, it's not without its flaws. Some choices feel questionable, and a few missteps leave room for improvement. \I recently had the opportunity to test the device in the Titanium Black colourway. Here's what I loved — and what could be improved in future iterations. When it comes to displays and performance, Samsung continues to lead the pack with the S25 Ultra. The 6.8-inch AMOLED panel is stunning — razor-sharp, gloriously bright, and now even more resistant to glare, making outdoor readability a breeze. It's also larger than the S24 Ultra. The nearly invisible bezels give the phone an elegant edge, making content consumption feel immersive and uninterrupted. Performance is another highlight. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the S25 Ultra is a workhorse that effortlessly handles multitasking, gaming, and AI-driven features with remarkable fluidity. Samsung's One UI 7 also feels more intuitive and cohesive than ever. \The interface has been subtly refined to be more in line with what iPhone users are accustomed to, offering a smoother transition for those considering a switch. Animations are crisp, scrolling is snappy, and everyday interactions feel buttery smooth. In short, if you're looking for an Android smartphone that'll help you stay productive — the S25 Ultra is a solid choice. If you travel and take photos a lot, you'll never go wrong with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. With the right settings and techniques, I was able to take some pretty decent photos during my recent trip to Pangkor. The device comes with four cameras on the back: the 200MP main lens, an upgraded 50MP ultra-wide lens perfect for dramatic shots, a 50MP telephoto lens for detailed close-ups, and a 10MP telephoto lens that's useful for portraits. Images are sharp, crisp, and the colours are vivid and vibrant. While the S Pen no longer has the function to take photos, it was never an issue for me as I was still able to take photos via voice command and hand gestures. \With a 5,000 mAh battery, the S25 Ultra comfortably lasts a full day of heavy usage despite packing plenty of AI features. I didn't experience heating issues when multitasking. I was able to get nine hours of screen-on time in real-world tests. Ending the day with 30-40% battery remaining is the norm rather than the exception. That said, I'm looking forward to Samsung improving the battery lifespan while maintaining the thinness of future iterations of the S25 Ultra, since 6,000 mAh has become the benchmark for batteries. The S25 Ultra comes packed with a slew of fun and useful Galaxy AI assistant features, but they're still a work in progress. Samsung's AI features are a hybrid between Gemini and Bixby. Using voice commands or pressing the side button, I easily found restaurants for my family's Lunar New Year reunion dinner and shared the location with friends and family — completely hands-free. But, these AI features — a hybrid between Gemini and Samsung's Bixby — felt wonky at times. I experienced several instances when Gemini confused Asian-sounding names with objects. For example, it mistook my wife's name, Ista, with Easter and actually dialled a foreign number. The Now Brief feature has room for further improvements
