Expert review Galaxy S25 Ultra: first impression
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
- With Galaxy AI, you can edit photos, summarize texts, and translate live phone calls.
- Thanks to the included S pen stylus, you can edit photos and videos extra precisely.
- With the telephoto lens, you can zoom in up to 5 times without your photos becoming less sharp.
- A charger isn't included with this device, so you'll have to buy one separately.
First impression
What I notice first is the new design of the Samsung S25 Ultra. Compared to the S24 Ultra, the new model has rounder corners. This makes the S25 Ultra more comfortable to hold, but it's still very large. I store the included S Pen stylus in the housing. The box doesn't contain a charger, so you'll have to buy one separately.
Razor-sharp photos and 5x optical zoom
With the cameras of the Samsung S25 Ultra, I can take razor-sharp photos in any situation. I can also see many details in photos in low light. With the telephoto lenses, I can zoom in 3 and 5 times without my photos becoming less sharp.
Watch series and videos comfortably
I find the 6.9-inch screen of the Samsung S25 Ultra very big. The advantage is that I can comfortably watch movies, series, and videos. The disadvantage is that it's hard to control the screen with 1 hand. Due to its size, the S25 Ultra also doesn't fit in my pocket that well.
Suitable for the most demanding tasks
The Samsung S25 Ultra is suitable for the most demanding tasks. I can play demanding 3D games without any problems. I can also easily edit photos and videos. My opens open superfast on the Samsung S25 Ultra.
Conclusion
The Samsung S25 Ultra is one of the best smartphones of this moment. I like that the smartphone is very large and has a sharp Quad HD display. I have more than enough space to play games or watch videos. The cameras of the S25 Ultra also really stand out. Especially the optical zoom of the telephoto lenses is impressive.
