The Galaxy S24 Ultra is the Samsung I’d buy in 2025

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is particularly uninspiring. When I got my hands-on time with the phone, I struggled to find reasons to get excited about upgrading. The design changes feel like a downgrade, and telling one Galaxy generation or model apart from the rest is challenging. However, there are still plenty of reasons to like and buy Samsung phones. One UI 7 is shaping up to be an excellent software upgrade, and the company still offers premium hardware. If you aren’t energized by Samsung’s latest releases, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is the phone you should buy in 2025.
