SAMSUNG GALAXY S25 ULTRA POWERPACKED, BUT IS IT ENOUGH?

POWER- PACKED, BUT IS IT ENOUGH?

- Words By: Sohil Nikam

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra arrives as the latest Android flagship, boasting top-tier specs and fresh AI-driven features. However, with minimal design upgrades and a few surprising downgrades, does it truly stand out? Let’s dive in.

DESIGN

Samsung’s Ultra series is known for its premium build and the beloved S Pen, but this year brings a letdown - Bluetooth functionality has been removed. That means Air Actions are gone, so there is no remote shutter control or gesture-based navigation. Samsung justifies this by saying few users took advantage of it, but on a device with minor upgrades, this feels like a step backward. Aesthetically, there’s little change from the S24 Ultra. The edges are slightly rounder, and the phone is marginally lighter, making it a tad more comfortable to hold. The 6.9-inch display is 0.1 inches larger than its predecessor, which is not a noticeable difference.
