The same reason why Apple also puts boring color in their pro phones and the base model gets all the interesting colors. The "Ultra" is the samsung equivalent of the pro max phones from Apple.
Single Core Score is worse then s24 Exynos and way worse then s24 snapdragon. 🥸 Single Core Score is important for the User experience Overall over the day.
Just pre-ordered the s25+. Close that over the ultra based on size. I was going to order the 25 but liked the upgraded features of the +. Looking forward to receiving it. I am also an Apple defector! 😂
I have seen it in the flesh. It is beautiful. In low light it is a darker blue, and changes to different tones of blue as the light increases and the angle that the light hits it.
@@pratikmn611because not everyone needs all the functions of the ultra model, so it won't make economical sense to spend an extra few hundred dollars to get a phone with extra features you won't use.
What is that "check your region" thing all about in the startup process? I'm in utah and it only has Utah on there. What inappropriate things are in samsung apps that they wanna restrict?
I got an S24+ a few months ago (coming from iPhone Pro Max). Great phone, but there's nothing in the S25+ to make me consider it, not even for a second. Great phones and the way to go imo if you don't need an S pen
That is an awesome phone! I like how Samsung still has the physical SIM card Trey however I like EM better. Do you think the FCC will require Samsung to go eSIM only have you ever explored the voice over features or magnifier features on an android phone and compared it to the iPhone? I have explored the voice feature on iOS, but it really changes how you interact with your phone. I really like the text to speech feature when I am typing on my iPhone. Does Samsung have this feature available?
Tbh, if they used the 50mp ultra wide camera, I’d have gotten this instead of the Ultra. It’s been getting great reviews, and I’m partial to that navy blue colour. But I travel a lot, so, I’ll have to stick with the Ultra.
I love the plus version. It's so comfortable & unrated. The plus feels like the smallest, big phone in hand. I wish Samsung would have changed the cameras, though 😢
I see no reason to upgrade my S24+. They really didnt do anything except some colors and software updates, and a new processor. Everything else is exactly the same as the S24+. Its just a marginal upgrade imo
I can, but you’re not going to notice the difference unless you actually have Internet that can support that kind of speed and a WiFi 7 router. Wi-Fi 6E is plenty fast for most people and for what people have.
Thanks for the review! Always appreciate your perspective. I'm an Apple person, but am currently looking for a new phone for my mother since I think she wants to go with Samsung; she has a Samsung tablet she likes. Instead of the Ultra, After seeing this review, I think this would be a great upgrade to replace her Nokia. She has a midlevel phone and I am still waiting to see if Samsung , in March, imports the A56 if she still wants a midlevel phone, again. I really like the A55, but Samsung hasn't imported it to the U.S., so they may not import the A56. Just wondering if you will be reviewing the Google 9a once that is released??? Thanks again.
Im going to upgrade my s20fe to s25 plus. It has a better chipset than the previous series which is a big win and got an amazing offer due to pre order promo.
I hate how similar to base iPhone it looks from the side and front. Even from the back it looks like the base iPhone with an extra camera. Wtf happened to Samsung. They used to make unique and interesting looking phones. Now it seems that all they want to do is copy Apple when it comes to the design of their phones. Even their earbus and Ultra watch looks too similar to Apple's.
Hi, Aaron 😊. Can you do a charging speed test between the 16PM and the GS25U, since apparently both Samsung and Apple claims they do 45W. It would be knteresting so see how much slower the 16PM charges.
I tried a Samsung phone last year - I didn’t like the way it works. However, they are far more stylish and aesthetically pleasing than my iphone 15 Pro Max. IPhones are ugly bricks in comparison to Samsung’s streamlined, elegant look.
All those features and I'm required to plug an adapter into my doctor's-prescribed noise cancelling headphones because the phone DOESN'T have the right plug!...
They all have The Same Chip so why is the Single Core on Ultra higher then on plus Model? Single Core Score on plus and normal s25 is Lower then s24 Single Core power. xD
Everyone is so hyped about the navy blue but then they put a case on it anyway. I saw them all in person and went right for the gray! Im not a fan of seeing the blue edge while looking straight on the phone. The gray and silvers blend in better.
The only guy who actually has ALL COLORS including online exclusive colors.
upgrading my old A70 to this~ gonna be huge upgrade for me
No microsd. No expandable memory, keep that in mind
@@capmendonca ye, getting the 512 one
Congrats! That really is a massive upgrade!
That's gonna be major.
nice!
Always appreciate u covering samsung phones and not just apple
We need someone like @zollotech but for Android
I wish they'd put a better optical zoom lens on the +, like a 5x
Why is Samsung opposed to having these glorious colors in the ultras? This color in the ultra would be perfect, like the note 10+ in blue.
That blue with a natural titanium frame on the Ultra would be sick.
The same reason why Apple also puts boring color in their pro phones and the base model gets all the interesting colors. The "Ultra" is the samsung equivalent of the pro max phones from Apple.
@PurushNahiMahaPurush Yes, but Samsung isn't apple. Samsung normally has the best colors of any smartphone.
Completely agree. Just ordered the s25U in white because the other colours don’t quite pop for me. This blue would have been amazing with the ultra!
@@katinasoutherland7693 same consumer psych when it comes to that segment
Please run Geekbench 6 after the phone has been set up so you can show us accurate results.
After 9 years with iOS, I'm thinking of making the switch. This exact model and color.
Ive tried to switch twice. Now back to iOS.
dayum. that 'blue' be very noice
I pre-ordered the s25 plus for you can't beat what you get for the price! Fantastic value!
Single Core Score is worse then s24 Exynos and way worse then s24 snapdragon. 🥸
Single Core Score is important for the User experience Overall over the day.
Just got two of this phone same blue color on AT&T at my work today. Opened it up to check it out and was overall not a bad phone.
Just pre-ordered the s25+. Close that over the ultra based on size. I was going to order the 25 but liked the upgraded features of the +. Looking forward to receiving it. I am also an Apple defector! 😂
Just did a pre-order on a couple of these. Great promo pricing right now !!!
That's big difference in Single core performance despite of being on same chipset as Ultra
I think there is a problem in his phone. Other tests didnt show this much of a difference
South Korea and United States are better rivals when it comes to cellphones, tablets, smartwatches etc. Samsung vs Apple 😂😂😂😂
More like Korea and China since Apple isn’t made here lol 😂.
@@madmann6723except manufacturing and assembling everything is done by apple.
@madmann6723 btw, Apple was founded in the United States Of America since 1976. iPhones was just made in China
@Sean3456 oh I know, so was Motorola back in the day but none of the US based/owned companies actually manufacture anything here anymore.
@@madmann6723it’s still designed in California so it’s considered American technology
I'm getting this tomorrow, so excited! Upgrading from the S21. Hoping I like the navy color.
I have seen it in the flesh. It is beautiful. In low light it is a darker blue, and changes to different tones of blue as the light increases and the angle that the light hits it.
How is the speaker and haptics
That blue colour is nice had a similar colour on the note 9
I love my S23 ultra but I was thinking of getting a plus this year. As cool as the ultra is im thinking the plus should be satisfactory
Bro, why do you want to downgrade from ultra model??
@@pratikmn611because not everyone needs all the functions of the ultra model, so it won't make economical sense to spend an extra few hundred dollars to get a phone with extra features you won't use.
@pratikmn611 He can save around €400.
You'd love the form factor. It's beyond underrated trust me.
is it samsung's recommendation or reviewers own choice that most just don't even bother with the regular samsung s25.
Quick question I’m currently rocking the beta how do I remove it to get the official one once it comes out
Great video 👍🏿
What is that "check your region" thing all about in the startup process? I'm in utah and it only has Utah on there. What inappropriate things are in samsung apps that they wanna restrict?
It could be complying to your local government
Hi MR Zollo. Just curious,how many smart gadgets do you own? Big Fan ❤
1:35 is the best part of opening a new phone.
Does the 25+ and 25 Ultra have PWM?
Aaron do a battery comparison test of S25+ and s25 Ultra
I got an S24+ a few months ago (coming from iPhone Pro Max). Great phone, but there's nothing in the S25+ to make me consider it, not even for a second. Great phones and the way to go imo if you don't need an S pen
Same for me just waiting on OneUI 7 update to arrive but pretty good experience so far vs iPhone 15 Pro Max
I'm gonna upgrade my s20 fe to s25 plus because it's an upgrade
@@robambo1351 That sounds like a proper upgrade, yes
I ordered it in blue black. 🎉

Please do the base s25 as well! There are not a lot of vids of the base model!
Great video Aaron ❤😊
Glad you liked it! 😄
@ I always do
Why the diff vs ultra in Single core?, doesn't have same specs, in processor and ram, i know the screen is lower, which in theory should be faster.
They have the same processor?
I love the plus version. It's so comfortable & unrated. The plus feels like the smallest, big phone in hand. I wish Samsung would have changed the cameras, though 😢
I see no reason to upgrade my S24+. They really didnt do anything except some colors and software updates, and a new processor. Everything else is exactly the same as the S24+. Its just a marginal upgrade imo
thank you for posting this Aaron, this was the one i was planning on getting so it’s nice to see a review other than the ultra😊
nice 👍🏻
Can you compare samsung ultra 25 and iphone 16 pro max
That’s a great phone too! Thank you for the video Aaron 😊
Never use samsung since the S4.. now I tempted to switch back to
I’m having trouble accessing the wallpaper link. I’m unable to download any of the options. Can you help me out?
Chat do i upgrade from my S23?
If you want to get the plus over the base model. I'd say it'll be a damn nice upgrade. You'll love the display & battery life.
Nice video
Hello what better s23U vs s25 +?
I have to wait until the 14th to pick up my S25+
Nice
Imagine this dark blue/navy color in iPhone. Total killer.
Could you please run a speed using WIFI 7?
I can, but you’re not going to notice the difference unless you actually have Internet that can support that kind of speed and a WiFi 7 router. Wi-Fi 6E is plenty fast for most people and for what people have.

Thank you for sharing 😊 2:23
I’ll go with the S25+ , I really like this navy color ❤
Plus has to do with affordability, that's why it it exists.
It would be better if you could kindly showcase the speaker sound a bit.
I can, but you won’t be able to hear what it actually sounds like without experiencing it for yourself
This looks way better than the ultra. Cant see the seams and a better color.
The iPhone 16 (60 Hz) is the competitor with a multicore score of 8,000 😊. 9,500 is a huge difference 🎉
piękny Color jak w S20FE

If I was an Android person, I'd get this one.
It looks like the screen have some serious blue shift issues.
why samsung did not put this blue on the 25 ultra man it's always like this the best colors comes on the smaller ones
Hi, Aaron 😊. Can you do a charging speed test between the 16PM and the GS25U, since apparently both Samsung and Apple claims they do 45W. It would be knteresting so see how much slower the 16PM charges.
iPhones don’t really do 45w. They do about 38w
@ Mine lingers around 26-27W every time I charge, but I suppose under GPU-heavy gaming, you will get 38W?
I tried a Samsung phone last year - I didn’t like the way it works. However, they are far more stylish and aesthetically pleasing than my iphone 15 Pro Max. IPhones are ugly bricks in comparison to Samsung’s streamlined, elegant look.
Bro make s25 all colors unboxing
Samsung is back 😊
The screen turns green when tilting the screen
The S 25/25+ has the better color options than the Ultra line.
Y sometimes Samsung always copy the iPhone edges tho I get confused if they have iPhone or Samsung
❤❤
So thin ❤
maybe I'm not the first, but in the last week I'm thinking of making a switch after 7 years of iOS
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽Great
Should I trade my S20 ultra for the S25+ ?
what if i was in utah?
I’m ready to upgrade to Samsung and get rib of my apple iPhone 15
Samsung these days 🗿
Apple nowadays 🤡
#zollotech please unbox the galaxy s25 base variant 😊
How much storage does the OS take up? 50 gig probably?
All those features and I'm required to plug an adapter into my doctor's-prescribed noise cancelling headphones because the phone DOESN'T have the right plug!...
At this point just get a new phone when your old one becomes unusable or inconvenient to use. with battery replacement they can last 10 or more years
FIRST VIEWER AND COMMENTER! Btw, pov me watching on my S24+ 😂
I like Samsung but I’m team iPhone I don’t have a problem with android
Why Samsung didnt upgrade any of the cameras is a mystery. Pixel 9 has vastly superior cameras.
**S24+ looks no different at all from the previous version
I wish I owned this phone🥰.
problem = money
😬😬😬😬😬
God of surprises, do something 🥰🔥
They all have The Same Chip so why is the Single Core on Ultra higher then on plus Model?
Single Core Score on plus and normal s25 is Lower then s24 Single Core power. xD
I’m still paying for my iPhone 15 pro n hopefully I can get a iPhone 17 pro next September I just wait see what happens then ❤😊
First.
why didnt samsung give these new colors to the ultra so stupid....
nice, thanks for the video Aaron!
Looks exactly the same as S24+..Selling us the old wine in a new bottle at the same price though 😂😂😂
I like to use Samsung but can't afford it please can you grant me this one request pls 🙇🙏🙏🙏
Love 💕💕 from Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
no.
I'm trying to preorder this but my bank is being an asshole the payment just isn't going through even though I have more than enough 💀💀💀
Everyone is so hyped about the navy blue but then they put a case on it anyway. I saw them all in person and went right for the gray! Im not a fan of seeing the blue edge while looking straight on the phone. The gray and silvers blend in better.
No microsd 😮. Deal breaker. My a55 have a 1TB microsd option
Most phones haven’t had sd cards for years
Blot wear in a flagship phone 😮😮😮😮😢😢😢
Lol yea its fucking embarrassing. But I bought an S24 Ultra in Europe and it didn't come with all this bloatware. So maybe its a US only thing.
NOT A FAN OF SAMSUNG BUT THE COLOR SEEMS GORGEOUS
Samsung: South Korea
Apple: USA
I wonder why the displays aren’t 2k, or even 3k or 4k no idea why phone android manufacturers stick to the weird 1080p ones
