All this to say the Galaxy S25 ($800), Galaxy S25+ ($1,000), and Galaxy S25 Ultra ($1,300) are powerful, reliable, and well-equipped smartphones. They're excellent upgrades if you're coming from a three or four-year-old device. They're just not otherwise interesting or exciting.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra features the same 200MP main sensor as the S24 Ultra and S23 Ultra flagships from previous years. The 1/1.3-inch sensor is smaller than the 1-inch sensors we’ve seen in phones by Xiaomi and Vivo. The benefits of a larger sensor include better low-light performance, a shallower depth of field, and a higher dynamic range.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is the latest flagship from Samsung, and in this review, we'll share our experience with it after a week of use.
