Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Review by Mark Knapp

"The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is an incredibly versatile, elegant, and powerful phone. While it stands out as the best Samsung has to offer, its high price tag places it above many competitors (except Apple), leading to questions about whether it represents the pinnacle of Samsung's capabilities. The display, once unparalleled, now faces stiff competition. Performance peaks initially but can falter under prolonged use. Even the advanced camera system lacks the unique charm that could endear it to users. Samsung aimed for near-perfection this year but delivered only greatness."

A Samsung Galaxy S25 "Edge" May Be Coming Later

During the Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung hinted at a slimmer "Edge" smartphone. However, beyond a brief teaser, no further details were provided, leaving us in the dark about its place within the Galaxy S25 lineup and its release date.

Samsung Galaxy AI

AI integration has been a key focus at CES 2025, and Samsung's Galaxy AI is no exception. While AI in smartphones is still in its early stages, Samsung's approach ensures that many Galaxy AI features will be compatible with older models, although newer devices will better leverage more demanding functionalities.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Was the Best Phone of 2024

The Galaxy S24 Plus also received high marks from Mark Knapp, who highlighted its speed and durability, enhanced by a range of AI tools.
