Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Review by Mark Knapp

"The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is incredibly versatile, elegant, and powerful. While it aims to be Samsung's best, its high price and performance limitations in sustained use raise questions. The display, once a standout, now faces stiff competition, and even the impressive cameras lack a certain charm. Samsung needed near-perfection, and delivered greatness instead."

A Samsung Galaxy S25 "Edge" May Be Coming Later

Samsung teased a potential slimmer "Edge" smartphone at Galaxy Unpacked, but details remain scarce.

Samsung Galaxy AI

Galaxy AI integration continues, offering backward compatibility with older models, though newer models will leverage its features more effectively.
