- The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has finally hit the market and it's time to put the iPhone 16 Pro Max away and give it some run! Ive always tried to go away from the iPhone and its companion parts for some time but always revert back. I want to make myself uncomfortable and really give the S25 Ultra a shot so here we go!

Just upgraded to the S25 Ultra. I'm enjoying it. We just all need to like what we like and leave it at that. Some people like Ford, some people like Chevy, it's all good 😊
If everyone had that thought process lol. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
😂 that laggy experience of touchwiz man i remember those days it was so bad .I really enjoyed this video
Man TouchWiz was a mess back in the day. Much appreciated!
I use both platforms. I have a iPhone 13PM as my daily driver, and I use my S22 Ultra (soon to be s25 Ultra) for productivity purposes and tinkering. You can't go wrong with either devices whether iPhone or Android, as they are both starting to emulate one another so much that it'll be easy for most users to switch now if they are so inclined. To me Android is simpler, because all the app settings are within the app, rather than going to settings, finding the app, then making the changes, like you have to do on Apple. Another thing I love about Samsung ( android in general) is when you need to scan a document, you don't have to open the notes app first, you can hover the phone over the document, and Samsung will automatically scan it and gives you an option to download it. Simple touches like that make Samsung more intuitive to use. However, when it comes to video, iPhone is just better there, but Samsung has closed the gap in that department. The Samsung shutter lag is probably still an issue, and I hope they get that fixed with some software updates, or next year when the S26 phones. It's been an issue for years, and I don't know why it's specific to Samsung, because the Google pixels seem not to suffer from that problem. One features that gets overlooked is if you have T-Mobile, the iPhone 14 and above and S25 line will have satellite connectivity. This is a game changer for the outdoorsy among us. It's not fully ready yet, but we'll all appreciate it when it become commercially available
Same for me - iPhone 16 Pro as my main device, S23 Ultra as my secondary. With a multi sim (one number 2 devices).
I swapped my sim from my 16pm to the s25u. So far im enjoying how snappy it is. Being able to turn the animation speed up im the developer options is a game changer. It makes the animations on my 16pm feel almost lazy. The s25u is instantaneous when you press the screen.
Yeah that is true. Everything makes the iPhone feel prehistoric lol.
Subscribed 30 seconds in "they don't wanna see me do anything cause they don't know me" 😂
Yeah man they don't know who I am. I don't make all the fancy videos lol.
Never really used the bluetooth features outside of the shutter button. Now that bluetooth on the pen is missing I have already gotten use to using my watch for pics. I did notice that i can write on the screen without issues even if i am using magsafe accessories like mounts and battery packs which is nice.
I subscribed immediately.
Very clear, straight to the point, honest and speaks the language of the consumers.
And best of all full of character 😅
Added to my favorite tech UA-camrs list.
Love seeing comments like this. Thanks and much appreciated! Welcome to the channel!
Mad respect for admitting your comfort zone and being willing to accept being uncomfortable. Samsung dropped the ball this year with the removal of the bt s pen but increasing the price. My last Samsung was the N20U which was a BEAST!
Great first impression can feel the realness and honesty in your review
Thanks much appreciated!! 💪🏽💪🏽
WOW I just subscribed because I love your honesty-- word up on the iphone vs Samsung usage, very transparent. I'm looking forward to more of your videos.
Thanks much appreciated and welcome to the channel!
I use Pen up for coloring so i like the Pen
Once I got over that honeymoon phase on the s24u. I ended up selling near the iPhone 16pm release and went back to Apple
Hahaha I get it and I've done it so many times. I'm enjoying it right now so we will see how it goes.
Traded my 16 Pro for the S25U after 9 years of using only iOS, and yep, iPhone feels so rustic compared to all the features Samsung has. I just hope I won’t be running back to iOS so soon 😅
Yeah it's a breath if fresh air for sure. Still prefer some things on iPhone but when you go Samsung it will make the iPhone feel prehistoric.
I think Samsung should get rid of wireless reverse charging feature along with s-pen to enhance more battery
I like the s pen it can stay but I never use reverse charging
@JamesThomas-dn6ee until S-Pen doesn't have Bluetooth functionality. But AI scatching is fun fact for S-Pen. No doubt to agree. 👍
@@nymulayon2356 I use my s pen alot just didn't use the blu tooth function
Na man…I got the S23 Ultra and it literally gives me arthritis in my hands lol. The weight reduction alone is enough to make me wanna upgrade.
Yeah the weight of this feels really good in hands.
Got mine last Thursday. I love how it feels and I'm rocking the Dbrand Grip on it. Love it.
Niceeee. I need to try out the Dbrand grip for it.
I'm 24 hours in at this point and I'm not disappointed. I use my s pen all the time but never used the bluetooth, so that doesn't bother me. Not loving the battery life but its only been 24 hours so still learning. Loving the camera!! All in all I'm happy.
Will you keep it or just another rental ?
Time will tell.
The s series back then never had an s-pen. I'm guessing some time in the future the s-pen will be removed from the galaxy s series devices and added into the new galaxy z fold which makes sense with it's bigger screen.
If Samsung had iMessage 💬, it’s game over for the iPhone. We all know that.
Well RCS is handling everything I need honestly from iMessage and the older I get I could care less, just get my messages lol.
@ I’m in Australia and none of our carriers have RCS for iPhone yet ! 😭
Ahhhhh I get it then.
@@TechnicallyTee I wonder would you be able to send picture via RCS to iMessage without getting charged as MMS on Samsung ?
My guy Tee and his Galaxy love.... as a side piece that he will run for a couple of weeks or months lol..looking forward to more content
Aye man give me some encouragement. I'm not going to go running back to iPhone that quick lol.
@TechnicallyTee i buddy messing with you fam. I hope you enjoy the device
Levis jumper looking clean bruh!
Hahaha thanks bro!
I've been a note user for a long long time, I never really use it unless I'm photoshopping something onto someone's face lol
Hahaha exactly. I get the use case for it but I just never used it besides some casual doodling lol
Yo , I’m an apple fanboy but you know i’m not gonna miss a video you post , just cuz i like apple doesn’t mean i gotta hate on Samsung !!!
I appreciate that! Most people see Samsung and won't touch the video. Don't worry we still going to get into accessories for the iPhone for sure.
Great content. As for the camera caps. They are glued. They might not come off, but let's see how it works with a lot of humidity. As for Bluetooth in the s pen, more than 1 % of people are complaining about it not being in the pen. I bought my s24 ultra 1 month ago. As soon as I got it bam, it went right in s case supcase mag xt and put a screen protector on it.
Thanks much appreciated! Yeah I doubt the caps will get affected honestly but you never know. Time will tell.
Im now using S25, and im never going back to 🍎 Apple...
I get these reviews, but you have take these reviews with a grain of salt. People like Hayls World and MKTHB(whatever his name is) always review the newest Samsung flagship after “using” it for a days. Guess what? iPhone always comes out on top with reviewers who use Apple on a daily basis. It’s really kinda pointless to watch them review a product that they don’t use day in and day out if you think about it…
I’m 2 Phones Nelson. Work phone has been an iPhone since like 2012 upgraded every 2 years. My personal always changed with whatever peaked my interest at the time. I didn’t get serious with the Samsung line until the s9. My last Samsung was the 24 Ultra.
Fast forward to 2025, and I’m a committed iPhone user(both phones) not by choice, but because the world revolves around Apple. Ever try to send a video to iPhone from android? Yeah. Bottom line, is the Samsung is a superior product, it just takes weeks, if not months to learn all the awesome tips and tricks. So I get why Apple users always go back to Apple.
You can take it with a grain of salt but it's just me wanting to try something new. Who knows how long I will use it but I'm not new to Android, I just use iPhones on the daily.
It doesn't take long to learn Samsung, it's actually longer to learn all the limits of the Apple system that handholds you and prevent you from doing all the stuff that the androids allow you to do.
@@kingjon5818 when people would see me with an iPhone and a Samsung, they would sometimes ask what the difference was. Easiest answer was telling them that the iPhone is like one of those TV remotes made for seniors. You know the ones with huge numbers and straight to the point. The Samsung was like using a “smart remote.” Takes a while to dial it, but once you do, it’s worth it.
Like I said, I’m running 2 iPhones now. Is Apple better than a Samsung? Absolutely NOT, but you just can’t beat iMessage these days. Everyone uses it.
Deep down Apples user want to come to Samsung, there are just TRAPPED by apples ecosystem .
This is the honest truth lol.
The introduction is INSANE .....
I do use the Bluetooth on the spen, not everyday but while on away with the family in the caravan we get lots of pics with the pen and the moft tripod.
I only use the Bluetooth functionality of on the S-Pen on the tablets cuz when I'm reading I can flip the page without touching the screen. But I won't miss it on the S25 Ultra tbh
Yeah I can def see on the tablet but yeah it can go on the S25.
Iphone so boring
Hahaha they serve their purpose.
The best reviews come from the newest and most exciting UA-camrs. I’m getting my S22 Ultra in Jet Black. I traded in my S22 Ultra because the battery is just terrible at this point. I do appreciate and will miss the Bluetooth S-Pen, but I’m being honest, I rarely used it for group photos and usually just set a timer instead. Either way, the deals were too good to pass up this year because I got $600 off the new phone and only had to spend $20 for the Buds Pro 3. For what it’s worth, I’ll try the s25 ultra out this year, and if I don’t like it, there’s always next year to upgrade to the next phone.
S25 Ultra: an iPhone user's side piece. I'm playing. I got the s25 plus and ultra. While I decide which one to keep, the plus is refreshing. It's light and not too cumbersome. The ultra feels lighter as well, almost makes the 16 pro max feel like a brick.
Yeah it's crazy how much the weight difference is between the two. I'm not sure the exact numbers but just holding them both makes the S25 Ultra light.
I don't remember when I even used the bluetooth function of s pen
Is there a video on how to get the same set up as you got on your s25u? that neon color fire!
I'm going to finish switch it up and I will do a customization video.
@@TechnicallyTee ThanK You!
The Bluetooth and the S-pen, I rarely use it, I usually forget it have it most of the times
Same.
The S-Pen problem is more symbolic of how Samsung views the phone these days. The S25 Ultra is supposed to cram the most technology to justify its price. But Samsung doesn't view the phone that way anymore. Instead for awhile now, they take away a feature unnecessarily and do not even replace it with another feature. This is very concerning for S25 Ultra fans because what else is Samsung going to take away next year and jack up the price thinking no-one will notice. They also cut corners on the amount of RAM on the phone. They couldn't put 16 GB of RAM at this price? The S-Pen is the only major feature that differentiates the S25 Ultra from everything else. To cripple that defining feature of the flagship phone shows that Samsung does not understand their primary customer anymore and will do anything to cut a corner and jack up the price.
What's that watch band and where did ilk get it?
Rocking my S22 ultra, if I do upgrade it will be the S24 ultra with a PEN that works!
Still plenty of value in an S24 Ultra!
Samsung actually has an official anti reflective screen protector, which looks more like film that glass. Can you put that on and see if the reflections are the same? Because some ppl say that putting a screen protector on the phone destroys the anti reflection effect
Yeah if you cover it up it will for sure get rid of the anti reflective feature. They have a film but honestly I hate film protectors.
Samsung's ant-reflection film does work perfectly. I have one on my S24 Ultra and on my S25 Ultra
Mine isn't scratched up yet but the film feels like glass in the phone, and does keep reflections off
Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.
Thanks as always Jeff! 💪🏽💪🏽
The only thing I use the Bluetooth functionary on the s pin is taking photos and video the pin also has a feature that acts as a magnifier. For your phone which I use the most
12:23 is so real, exactly how I feel too about switching to something new.
Yeah it's a shock when going from one OS to another.
I do you use the Bluetooth S Pen. I like the shutter control and media controls. I’m bummed we’re losing it, but just a minor annoyance
Yeah for sure I get it. I know there are some people that use it a bunch but I wonder how big that number truly is. I hope they don't pull and apple and get rid of it but I know personally I wouldn't mind if I was getting some more useful instead.
Sold my 16 pro max and got the s25 ultra 1tb silver blue. Loving it
Lets goooo!!!
Love to hear it.
How do you find the photos in comparison to each other?
I only ever used the bluetooth on the S-pen to show off for customers and family members and occasionally use it to take a photo. Now if the fold had it, i was use it more to control videos since i have a proper kickstand case for it and the screen is much better to watch things on.
I traded my iphone 15 pro max for the s25 ultra. Enjoying it so far.
Bro amazing video you just earned a new subscriber! Rocking my jetblack s25 ultra and loving it.
Thanks much appreciated and glad you're enjoying it. Welcome to the channel!
I bought my first "slab phone," a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, after 20+ years of BlackBerry devices. Other than the deep, dark depression I'm in due to the loss of BlackBerry physical QWERTY keyboards, my S24U is a phenomenal device!!! And now Samsung has gutted the S-Pen in the S25U. 😲 My S24U will be my first and only Samsung phone if they don't fully restore the S-Pen in the S26U and beyond. I'll be "one and done"!!! 😡 JP
Very good and informative content, thank you
Thanks much appreciated!
Get both and embrace the best of both worlds
Let see that customization video
Im so confused i thought the S25 releases on Feb 7... how does everyone have them right now LOL
Because Samsung always deliver just about a week early. It's wild actually lol
WE was my first Android. I went back to iphone pretty quick. All in on Pixel now
Can't go wrong with either one honestly. All on personal preferences.
I'm loving my S25 Ultra. I have the Benks Armor Pro and the Banks AR tempered glass and i like both very much. I am waiting on Caudabe to release their lineup. Hoping they bring something better than their S22 offerings
O yeah I think you will be excited for the Caudabe lineup when it drops. I'll have them on the channel asap.
The spen will never go away
Idk I feel this might be the first step but I could be wrong.
I hope not.
Which you download?
Imo using galaxy watch 7 ultra as shutter is much more easier than pen a lot of negative but i don't think it should have been removed
Yeah there was really no reason to remove it honestly.
What web browser and text app do you use on yours? And what app did you use to customize your stuffs?
I use Google Chrome and the stock messaging app which I think is Google messages.
@ what about to customize your icons and stuff
And were you able to transfer your iMessage texts to your android?
Nova launcher and LineX is the icon pack.
@handycartmexican5640 naw I just started new. That doesn't bother me but I also didn't try to transfer anything. I just like to start fresh when going to Android from iPhone.
i was a old NEXUS phone funboy, now i am a apple boy...but i really want to try out the new s25 ultra...my only complains are the iCloud stuffs with my family, the apple warranty, and the camera...i think that apple warranty is more efficient than samsung, and iphone videos are so much better...this things are hold me in iphone...but i really want to try on....
Yeah that's the part of getting uncomfortable with the switch. There are some things I'm not going to be able to do but for me it isn't the end of the world. When It comes to videos, Samsung has really caught up and I don't have an issue with the video quality. They have really stepped it up lately and it's splitting hair these days.
Good review Tee. I’m team Android rocking a Z Fold 5. This is one of the best reviews thus far of the S25 Ultra.
Thanks much appreciated and it's just the first impressions. It will take me awhile for the full review. Idk how people do a full review so fast.
Nice lock screen picture on that 25 in 2025.👍
Thanks much appreciated!
How's the motion blur of indoor photos? Main thing that keeps me away from Sammy
I think it's getting better for sure but I have to test the cameras out more.
At 2:54 I am 19 and I had the samsung galaxy s5 as my first phone and damn it was laggy and I had storge issues on it too.
Yeah that lag was something serious but we were dealing with it back then lol
How are your apps displaying that way is it a widget option?
The S25 Ultra is awful, got in but sent back. You know biggest fault, customer service is shocking.
Never let the S-pen go!
Lol I get it.
I did NOT use the Bluetooth function & I barely use the S-Pen...lol, but when I upgraded from the Note 8 to the S10 I missed the pen. Thinking of upgrading from the S22U to S25U. For me the missing Bluetooth capability isn't a deal breaker.
Im a teacher. I really used the spen. I switch from ipad and iphone to just the s24 ultra. I feel like samsung can keep the spen and make the battery bigger. It already a big phone so why not. We all option not less🔥
Ultra should have everything
Team Apple for life there’s no comparison
Where was the video on that OnePlus 13 you had??
I didn't even do a video on it and I wish I did. I used it for a few days and then it was gone because this was coming up quick. I don't have the luxury of getting sent all these devices lol.
I would use the s pen to click and take pictures from a distance.
Which Icons are you using?
You know you’ll go back to Apple. S25 Ultra looks sleek though.
You never know. I doubt I will last forever but I need to start using these devices a little more.
Was this one take?
All of my videos are as I don't script anything and it's all off the head.
Id imagine the Fold gets the Spen it doesnt make as much sense in a candy bar phone anymore
I could really see the pen in the fold but the way they keep making it thinner and thinner idk.
I use the Bluetooth SPen features, wish they kept it
Can you edit videos on the s25 like iPhones like with CapCut
which band is that from the watch?
Just a generic stainless steel milanese band from Amazon lol.
@ thank you :)
Sell me your s24 ultra then if you didn’t use the s pen 😊
No longer have it lol
They bet not get rid of the S-pen, not now and not ever.
The S-pen is better than more battery. The battery is big enough.
I would prefer the S-pen over a bigger battery any day.
The Samsung Galaxy S Ultra series phones would be absolutely nothing, without the S-pen.
It would be just a basic, regular, boring, everyday phone.
I hear ya for sure and time will tell. I feel this was the first step of getting people on board to not use it much since they took Bluetooth to then around and get rid of it next year but we will see.
I returned my s25 ultra, staying with my iPhone 14 pro max till the 17 comes out. I really wanted to switch but a few things that were a dealbreaker for me especially with chrome being better on iPhone. Really sucks because the screen on the s25 ultra makes the iPhone look like shit, the brightness, vividness is out of this world. Also a lot of my apps are created with Apple ID so I’d have to start over on so many apps.
I use the remote camera shutter Bluetooth feature.
That galaxy watch looks like a toy 🤣🤣
It doesn't but ok.
I don't use the s pen let alone the bluetooth lol. In 2026 they should get rid of it and put a bigger battery.
I'm on board with this even though I don't really have any issues with the battery life.
I used the Bluetooth functions all the time
The design reminds me of my old Xperia Z.
I tried the galaxy s 23 ultra and never used the s pen only lasted around 3 months before I went back to iPhone. Apple really has a firm grip on my plums that’s for sure
Makes sense and I understand for sure
Video on nova with that icon setup pls
💪🏽
lol Samsung doesn't care as long as you talk about the phone. they invite Apple sites now to Unpacked
Yeah that's true, I'm not polished enough to get that attention from them and that's cool lol
Remember the g1? T-Mobile exclusive and man it was clunky!
O man you taking it back with that one lol
LFG 🎉
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Note 3 OG. Still have that phone…in a drawer somewhere lol. Gotta find it now. 😁
Idk the S-Pen kinda what separates it whether you use it alot or not it's what makes the phone different and imo better than iPhone. iPhone been known for a boring UI and lacking features I would hate for Samsung to take that flagship feature away.
Let’s go!!!
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I have both iPhone and Galaxy
glad you dont include the unboxing
Meh I could care less about the unboxing but there are people who enjoy them.
I doesn’t matter what Samsung does I will never buy one I had one and I went back to iPhone. I don’t like android software for me IOS has the best software I will never buy another Samsung
We all have our personal preferences so I get it.
@ no doubt and I’m sure they’re a lot of people that love Samsung phones so to each their own
