- The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra brings a slightly larger 6.9-inch display, an upgraded 50MP ultra-wide camera, and the powerful Snapdragon Elite chip that enhances performance, battery life, and camera capabilities. While its AI features are impressive, some will only remain free until 2026!
Are you buying one🤔 SUBSCRIBE if you like tech content!
I think idk
There's no way you'll explaining it that will justify the cause, you just wasted money
I already bought it
Unboxing when??
Unboxing when???
Kind of disappointed with Samsung. They only really added the better chip, slightly better display, and better ultrawide. They even removed Bluetooth from the S Pen.
Yeah
@@JM_Techhi ❤
Hate that they remove the s pen Bluetooth feature....but i rarely used it lol
Be interested to see if the s24 pen fits inside correctly and will retain BT
are you telling that we cant use the s pen with the pen or?
Can't wait till the phone comes out. I'm so excited. Finally the s24 ultra will become affordable.
The S25 Ultra is super affordable also!
@@tymedefiertheliarI wouldn't call $1900 CAD an affordable phone for what little upgrades were made 😅😅😅
@@tbc_castles782 That's a little less than what I pay for rent per month 🤷♂️ I live in the US so my view on pricing and affordability is a little skewed
The S24U is actually more expensive than the S25U at the Samsung store.
😂😂😂😂
In my region, S22U still costs about 3 months salary
I really like the shapr edges on the S24U. It makes it feel premium. The round doesnt make it stand out as much
Facts
looks cheap and copy of iphone
Im with you guys,those sharp edges made it look more unique,now it's like any other phone,im switching to Sony.
Totally agree 👍
Yeah. That sharp edge made it look beautiful
Sharp corners can be used as a weapon when needed.
NO, everyone is NOT going to appreciate the rounded corners. The sharp corners of the S24 Ultra are what set the Ultra apart from every other phone and give it its sleek, premium look. The rounded corners on the 25 make it look generic.
I agree
so true
Thank you. Now it looks like a deformed iPhone.
bro❤
right???? I miss spending more than $30 for a good tempered glass screen protector for the curved screen and I'm going to miss the corner of my phone jabbing into my hand!!
If you guys missed out what Samsung said:- they said by the end of 2025 they will charge a subscription fee on the AI parts of Samsung. So heads up to all of you who didn’t know that.
That is the day I walk away from Samsung. I have used Samsung phones since the S4. That will be the end for me.
Doubtful, with the latest advancements in AI by Chinese company DeepSeek charging expensive subscription services for AI assistants isn't going to happen. Turns out most tech companies have been blowing hundreds of millions of dollars to build and train AI models when it can be done for a fraction of the cost and more efficiently by a factor of 30 times
Does that apply to the s24 ultra tho? Because when it was released last year i heard that it's only gonna be free till 2025 then i haven't really heard anything more about that
That's with all 2025 release phones
Did they actively say that or are you just referring to the fact they COULD if they wanted to?
With the rounded corners, I'll pass. I liked the edges much more
Interesting
Finally found someone, I also preferred the edge better
@@cosmasodiachi1065 I hate the rounded corners look
@@scrubled6854 it was a design language that made the series stood out, I don't know what sort of idea made them change it, they are even trying to draw attention to the fact that they made the corners and screen display rounded 😡
@@cosmasodiachi1065 I agree 100%
The S25 Ultra removed Bluetooth from the S Pen. That's a big negative for me.
"There's a new voice assistant" It's Gemini just like every other modern Android phone.
Yeah, like even apple have Gemini now. And honestly I prefer it over apple intelligence
@@dianforrester5704 iphone users cant digest the fact iphone 16pro was the joke of the 2024
apple has it
Btw it's by the end of 2025 not 2026
But the Gemini in this phone can do task now.
Removing Bluetooth on the pen so people buy the Samsung ring 😂
Hahahaahahhaa
They pulling out some Apple moves 😂
It still supports Bluetooth s-pen. You have to buy it separately
@@floppinfishfor real?
@@orepoutanes no it dopesnt have a charging dock in its pen holder. i pre-ordered mine cancelling as we speak
Last years s24 ultra really became my favourite because of the sharp edges and it’s design, I was excited for a smartphone after such a long time. But this year’s S25 ultra just feels ok in terms of design and also there is not much new instead of a chipset, ultra wide camera and some AI features that are only free to use till this year’s end. I hope they bring back the sharp edges in the next one.
OK, yeah I don’t like the sharp edges, but maybe they will
@JM_Tech if you don't like it you can get the S or S+ series the sharp edges was what made the S ultra series unique and feel premium. Nobody would care to upgrade from 24 to 25 it's like degrading your phone not upgrading. Samsung should learn how to sell value with quality together it's there brand. Take for instance why do women wear heels even tho it can be painful it's because it adds perceived values on them. Why do people buy Rolex or Richard Mille it's because it makes them look unique, doesn't a Casio tell the same watches or does it tell a different time. Or why do people buy Lamborghinis even tho they know they won't drive it on every road it's about quality together with aesthetics it gives the premium feeling.
I think phone companies should consider making new phones every 2 or 3 yrs to allow creativity because at this time they're out of ideas. @JM_Tech
@@JM_Techits time for u to move towards iphone ..😊
Phone looks cheap compared the previous models i hope they go back to the sharper edges... im beyond satisfied and still learning what my s23 ultra can do and ive had it for two years, I'm so happy with it. I want to wait for a few more models to come out before i upgrad. There's not enough of a major difference for me to upgrade right now. Plus they look like they are made by fisher price they look like play phones. The new look is not for me. Hard pass
Two years is nothing I'm upgrading to s25 ultra from Samsung Galaxy s8 😂 after 7 years and 3 months
@limlfc1892 well before I purchased the 23 ultra I was upgrading from the S10+ and before that it was the iPhone 5 so I was never quick to upgrade lol but I love my ultra so much that I'm staying on top of it and it brung me back to loving technology the way I did when I was a teen. Now I want to stay decently relevant to the new tech if its a worthy upgrade. The 23 ultra changed a lot for me now that I know how great it is to have a premium phone.
Never forget the S22 Ultra🙏
How? Everyone complained about the sharp edges for years and they finally listened to us and now you want us to go back to that design? make it make sense
@Space97. they finally listened to YOU I was never one of those people so yes I want them to go back to that design. lmao you can't make me be happy that they listed to people who wanted rounded corners when I wasn't one of those people. Your confused I didn't change my opinion on the rounded edges and its weird. I'm not apart of "us" and a lot of people don't like it.. I'm one of them. It looks much better with the sharper edges to me, And I have zero complaints about the phone "digging" into my hand. I don't really like the way the camera bezels took either on it. Something about it looks different. To me the s25 ultra looks like a prop phone.
I loved hiding my S Pen and taking selfies, but that was a feature available on the S24 Ultra.
Seems I'm keeping my S24 for the next years, we reached the peak on phone technology.
Whew, them gets no mo money😮
I bought s4 ultra brandnew for 400 usd
Peak phone technology for Samsung and iPhone. Chinese phones are still innovating - M14 screen, silicon carbide battery, IR blaster, screen that allows you to interact even with water on it, phone acting like a wifi extender, 1 inch sensors
From where? @@tgmtf5963
The trade in value with the S24 ultra kinda makes it worth it. If you didn't already have the watch ultra, buds or tablet. And 1k towards the new phone
No. I wanted sharp corners. Not a bar of soap.
Bar of soap 🧼😅😅😅good one 😄
@scottperry7035 Hehehehehe yup. I am surrounded by phones of all makes around me all the time and everyone of them feel like a bar of soap and everyone's hands are sooooo delicate. They hold my dad's S24Ultra and shreek "ouch that cuts into my hands those corners are so sharp!" WTF?
@JetSet11000 yeah, Liked that one. Flat edges and Sharp corners it's a nice look and they make phones so slippery you need a case to stop that then it takes away the look of the phone
@scottperry7035 agreed 💯 i am searching all of the internet to find someone or a company that does 3D printed cases.
I found a couple of forums with users posted free files to enter instructions (?) into the printer to print a case for the S24 U. I'd like a case that is very slim, clear, flat edges and sharp corners, with the back part making the cameras flush with the case (?). So the sharp corners protects the rounded corners of say the S25 U, so the inner lining has more cushioning.
Definitely without a magnetic thing in the back, ugly, just plain, all clear case but has to have ultra boxy, sharp, clean and flat design.
If there is no case like this out there, then I'm using the phone naked. Would be cool if someone could 3D printed and entire S25 U with all of its internal chambers for every internal component and the screen too. But give the body sharp corners?????????? Then install everything back in. If I had a machine and know how. I'd be modding it into a boxy phone with absolutely no rounded anything. Or maybe chamfer the edges etc but ya.
S Pen lost Bluetooth connection 😢
That’s actually really sad
@@JM_Tech why tho?
Whats the use??
Means we cannot use spen to take photo? 😧😖😭😭😭😭
I have never used Bluetooth capability, and I have been using my S pen in my S23 Ultra almost every day for the last two years. I won't miss it at all obviously.
I think rounded corners gives it a cheap iphone look.😅
What genius thought removing S Pen features was a good idea?
Samsung:- Slightly change the camera design.
Also Samsung:- Innovation ✨
Iphone: slightly change the camera
Samsung: is that innvation?
Also samsung: ok slight camera changes is not bad. Let's also change the corners so we will be an iphone look-alike!😂
2 years of wait for some buggy AI features is bad💀
Yea
1 Year Actually, Since The Samsung Galaxy S24 Came Out 1 Year ago.
Better then apple ai 😅😂
That’s still better than Apple intelligence
@@TechnicallyHenry 😄 🤣 😂 😆
the sharp edges and curved display is what gives the distinct premium feel of s23 Ultra, lost in s24 U and s25 U
The sharp corners were samsung's identity... They lost it
Ohh c'mon.. Sony Xperia already did it since 2015..😂😂😂
@@xkyokorin Shhhhh 🤫let samsung fans create their own happiness 🤣
Samsung has lost it completely I would say.. I still remain a Samsung loyalist 😂
S25 ultra looking like an iphone copycat with cameras that look like shirt buttons!😂

Yes you did....but the wealthy CEO thanks you for giving them more money 😂😂😂😂
I like the sharper corners much better
they lik u2
S24 user here
I was so excited watching the unpacked only to find out that the main improvements were a software update
which will come to the s24 phones in a year lol
The design kinda looks inferior to s24 ngl
Because of the round corners which is very generic on the market today. The sharp edge what separates s24 to other phones, it's giving expensive premium look compared to round
@@tutortle1820The squared off corners look dated to me. They have had their time. I prefer the more modern rounded look. They scream 2025.
@@neilmcguinness4422 wdym they scream 2025? Rounded phones became the norm since 2017. Where have you been?
@@tutortle1820 I was being ironic... There had to be one who rose to the bait. Does such a banal topic as mobile device corner design really mean so much to you?. There are more important things in life you know.. 😅😅😅
How does this even make sense? It doesn't and its not inferior lol.
In the S25 Ultra, they removed Bluetooth support from the S Pen; now you cannot use it like a Harry Potter, wand to click photos from a distance or use gestures like going back or forward etc
Samsung pulled an Apple with those AI features😂😂
how
They've been following apple since they removed the headphone jack
@zzniv ummmm how ? samsung has always had a one up on ai features...
at least the mentioned AI features is on device right away after the launch event. What Apple did is a scam.
@@coldtail05the s25 is just a s24 with lipstick 🤣🤣🤣
Apple to Samsung: "I've taught you all I know now. My work is done"
Wait...they're going to make me pay for features after already buying the phone and buying a mobile subscription plan? 💀
Yea. It is crazy
ALL manufacturers will in a year from now. Their profits mean everything to them.
Sim cards will be replaced with e-cards
@@JM_Techit's pure greed. They can ram it.
Why AI free untill 2026?
Samsung: we need more data to train our AI.
Disappointed they didn't bump up the battery a bit considering the 6000 plus mah on other flagships this year. Atleast 5500mah would have been a good upgrade. Not sure how i feel about the S25 ultra. Maybe I'll wait for the S26 ultra or jump to a vivo smart phone . X200 ultra or X300 ultra.
Or keep your current phone and wait
It is not they don't want to add bigger battery, they don't have Silicon-carbon battery technology.
Samsung and iPhone announce they will be adapting Silicon-carbon battery, which will take 2027 - 2028. By then xiaomi and other flagship will be using neclear battery that can last 2 years without charging.
@@samson4415 they do have access to silicon carbon tech from the same manufacturers all the other companies get them from. They just choose not to. They have had 6000 mah and 7000 mah batteries on their m series devices before with their current battery tech.
@@seekeroftruth45 think I will do that. Keep my s24 ultra since they also removed the Bluetooth functionality from the s pen. But also get a second device to try out. One plus or vivo sounds enticing.
THE S26 ULTRA:IM COMING SOON IN 2026 BOYZ
Even if it was minor improvements I still like that they put rounded flat corners and issued new AI features like New bar which is pretty much like Dynamic Island
No, bring back my corners 🤬🤬 this isn't an iPhone
I liked the square corners better, it made it way more unique (I have a s24 ultra)
I think the sharper corners look better but i dont think it is very comfortable to hold
Put a case ??? Hello????
@@gandalftheswoll519 that's besides the point. Even in a case the rounded edges would be more comfortable to hold. Common sense??? Hello???
@Jaxzay u are literally talking about an imaginary problem, I've been using mine for over a year and I have never had any issue with the so called " sharp edges " you people are just soft and like to complain about anything
@@gandalftheswoll519 not complaining buddy, I'm just saying a rounded phone is more comfortable to hold than a square phone lol.
Wish I was a tough guy like you, maybe then it would be more comfortable to hold
@@Jaxzaynah you right, I Had the S21 Ultra and went to S23+ because I hated the sharp corners in my hand despite having a case.
How tight or hard of a grip were people holding their S24 Ultra that it was digging into their hand. I never had that issue with mine. Still, I bought the S25 Ultra because I love having the newest and latest.
Slimmer bezels, 6.9” display
Sound familiar?
It does! 😅
Yeah it definitely sounds familiar, 100% LOL!! This phone and the older S20 Ultra is real equivalent with a 6.9 inch screen!! 😂😂😂
@ No no. I’m talking about the iPhone 16 Pro Max
@jackhughes4896 Oh my bad
Not able to take pictures with the pen is the dumbest removal of the series
The rounded corners is one of the highlight upgrades 😂😂😂
I think it's a downgrade
@ I wouldn’t be complaining if I had a new S25 ultra
For me, I like it. Yeah not the biggest upgrade but for some people, I guess they won’t like it.
Looks like an iPhone on steroids
I'm not a fan of the rounded corners at all
you used my footage for the intro lol sun of a gun
Ohhh, I hope you don’t mind. I would’ve definitely asked I just didn’t have any way of contact. I watch all your videos that’s why I used it. lol
hold up - slightly larger screen at 6.9 inches and slimmer bezels
familiar 🤔
Yeaaaaaa. Lollllll
Oh yeah! I know what it is, 6.9 inches kinda sounds like 69, that’s totally what ur talking about
@@TechnicallyHenryhes talking about how apple marketed the 16 pro max lol
Their older S20 Ultra features a 6.9 inch screen. If I'm not mistaken, it might be the only phone with a WQHD display. 🤔
@@cyrill470 now both are trash
The Galaxy S23 Ultra marked a significant leap over its predecessor, with its edged screen adding a flagship premium touch. In contrast, the S24 Ultra and S25 Ultra, especially with a back cover, resemble the "A" series in design.
I have s23 ultra as well
Sharp Corner = Unique, Elegant, Premium
Round corner = Typical, Boring 🥱
Following the footsteps of apple
Galaxy AI came out first...?
@SmD-ff5xd actually samsung copied apple in terms of body design
@@lijadora26 iPhone 17 will be a cheap copy of pixel
@@lijadora26 samsung copied apple in creating a smartphone - apple couldn't stop them because they were supplying important parts to the iphone and samsung had that leverage to prevent them from doing anything so Apple was forced to allow them into the market
I hate the rounded corners. the square corners is what makes it the ultra/samsung.. They removed the Bluetooth off the s pen. nothing good really changed
if u put a damn case on you wont even notice a difference
@k-mashup1144 it's never that serious love. again, if i wanted an iPhone, I would've bought one. Samsung whole standard for ultra is the sharp edges, not to mention they didn't change anything. Also, they downgraded the s-pen. So it's not big improvement
@badgalfenty4898 when did i mention iphones?
@k-mashup1144 No one said you mentioned one. The new samsung looks cheap like an iPhone. that's why I said, "If I wanted an iPhone, I would've got one."
OMG! Get over the sharp corners of the S24 Ultra already. Just pop a damn case on it and you'll never think about it again. Who walks around without a damn case anyway? Its really not worth upgrading. Let's see what the 26 brings to the table next year.
Spen bluetooth connectivity is the perfect example of "something" we always took granted for
Nah they ruined the spen by removing bluetooth, 😢
Unpopular opinion - battery and charging speed is one of the main problem.
Bro the amount of people that say the S24 Ultra's corners dig in to your hand and is uncomfortable, that is not true it's not that bad just get a case 😭
I have an S22 Ultra and can confirm I hold it by the "side" and not the corner cause of the size anyway.. it digging into your hands is the worst argument I've heard by far.
They messed up by not putting the navy color on the ultra. I've been waiting for a darker blue color on the ultra but nope.
Um in fact this may sound bad for many that prefer S24 but i prefer S25 and it's the first phone i prefer than a Google Pixel and an iPhone together
New legends : Samsung, Huawei, Honor ☠️☠️
Whats the point? Just wait few months and you can get it for about 900
I think Samsung rounded the corners of this phone to show the logo of Gemini in their Galaxy Unoacked Ad 🔷😂
The S24 ultra is the best in the last 5 years.
Glad you bought it dude! Excited to see your review.
Thank you! Will be up soon
So now which is better ? 16 Pro Max or S25 Ultra 🤨🤨🧐
Great video bro i highly appreciate it keep on going with these reviews they are so good.i have the s24 ultra and the s25 ultra is not bad at all but i perfer the s24 body better.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you like the reviews!
You didnt waste, basically Samsung sent you the phone for you to make this vid and make publicity.
The new s25 isn’t a bad upgrade
Yeah, better than I was expecting
@@JM_Tech it is very nice compared to the s24
Feels like an ad more than a personal post
I think I'm kinda done with Samsung. I hate that they took away the option to add more storage with SD card. I would take music and movies with me, without bogging down the internal storage. These features, among others, kept me android.
Stop talking shit, you can't bog down the storage with music and movies, maybe if u had 64 GB in the past, but 256 is the new sweet spot if u keep actual music/video/ files in your phone or games
actually stop talking shi fr
exactly @@JoshsGamerTag
I miss the SD card storage too. I stored all my pics and videos on the SD card
Where are those average samsung fans who were claiming galaxy ai gonna be free for life 😂😂😂
Whyyy why no one is mocking samsung for the design they have not changed the design and if apple did the same then they are bad does it make sense
Cause apple ppl are more sophisticated and won’t stoop to their level
I'm a bit more of an Apple fan than a Samsung fan. But honestly I like the fact that the companies keep the same general design for a long time. It's kind of hard to explain but it makes the design/brand feel more premium. And it makes the transition from one model to a newer one better in my opinion.
I like the flat squared display better. I did not like the the edge phones for the simple fact keeping a screen protector on them was a nightmare. besides that I'm fine with a general design I'd take round conners over an edge display.
@@narwhal9852 Yeah, I used to have the Samsung S7 edge (my first and last edge phone). One day I dropped it and somehow it landed on the side in a way that the screen protector took no damage at all but the screen itself was cracked all the way from the left to the right. Last time I had a phone with a rounded edge.
In my opinion the sharp corners was Samsung's peak design. My girlfriend has the s24 ultra and I don't experience the problem that a lot of people complain about with the phone "digging into your palm" when I used hers to see how it is. They could've either kept it or just slightly rounded the outer corners of the phone and keep the actual screen's sharp corners.
If it was Apple, people would be running outside naked 😂
Innovation ended around 2015-17... today, every company is either recycling old features or just releasing features that are not market ready, but we won't see that when our favorites are involved 😊
Bro i can remember when the iPhone 16 came out the whole internet was clowning apple,now its Samsungs turn these influencers are talking about the s25u like its a huge upgrade talking about “rounded corners” what😂
Ngl it looks like Samsung just copied apple intelligents
how 😭
Lol you are so blind
you do realize that galaxy ai came out before apple Intelligence
@@ViDusk actually 😮 maybe I needa stop glazing
@HenitexAM samsung had AI before apple its apple that's trying to catch up. I'm shocked many people don't know this considering how much better and more capable samsung phones have been the past few years and how many people have switched from apple to samsung.
I guess I'll still hold on to my dear s24U and waited for the s26U upgrade 🔥
Yea, honestly I don't like the rounding of the edges, it now means that the sides are sharper
I'm still in love and fascinated with my S23 Ultra 😅
Samsung ❌
Scamsung ✅
Apple ironically does the same thing but worse, and you ignore that for this specific occasion
Removing a feature had become a upgrade now a days !
And people feel it is a niche feature .
Same as the iPhone 16 for AI✨
Spending $1300, then paying for features next year is insane
Kinda miss the sharp edges, it made it stand out and look premium.
What hurt your hand is not the sharp edge, but the weight of that brick of a phone.
Love that they went to round. I always have hated the square feeling in my hand.
Y'all stop with the "samsung has sharp edges" and "galaxy buds gotta look like mushrooms" need to stop bro. WOW THE HELL DOES THIS CHANGE MAKE A PRODUCT BAD💀
It does. It really does. It is what makes Samsung “samsung”. If Apple has made a phone that looks like android, it’s not “Apple” Apple. Now Samsung made a phone that looks like shit, so it’s not a Samsung anymore
Imagine removing Bluetooth from the S-Pen 😭😭😭
They said last year that AI would only be free until 2025
They could have just made sharp edges with silicon corners, which provide better shock absorber and doesn't hurt the hands
As per the Samsung website, there are 2 50 MP cameras, so probably one of the zoom lense is also 50MP. Not just wide lense.
Nobody cares about your marketing.😂😂
So you don't mind that they removed Bluetooth from the S-pen? That's a deal breaker in my opinion.
All smart phones need a 3 year hiatus
You forgot to mention on the pen, no Bluetooth for taking pictures
The performance is insane and much better compared to last gen, for the rest its kinda similar but Samsung has done very little changes lately
You paid full price??
Me with my S24 Ultra: 😢
The design is sexy af but my bank account ain't as much
Personaly, I don't like the rounded edges. Sharp edges feel more premium. Agree?
Ya
I feel like every company should take their time for a new device. 1 year is just not enough for them to come up with features that would encourage old users to upgrade.
Bro does a video on every phone that exists 💀
Why 6.9?💀💀👍
Only reason im upgrading is I have a note 20 ultra and its almost out of storage. If i didnt need storage id still be waiting. Phones havent changed much the last 5 years
But you free get to mention that the S pen doesn't have Bluetooth anymore. So you can't do anything great with it anymore on it.
The corners of the S24 Ultra don't dig in to your hands unless you grab the phone real tight
Samsung owners cry for iphone design
Meanwhile Samsung bringing same design from decades🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
