Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
The S25 Ultra may be an incremental upgrade in hardware and camera tech but it is a world leader in AI functionality as Samsung turns to AI software to set itself apart from the competition. This is a phone with top performance, a full day of battery life, excellent photo and video results and 7 years of very stable OS package. Included is DeX â still the very best desktop replacement software there is. The screen, while not the brightest and still without Dolby Vision, minimizes reflections and is more usable outdoors than any other. This year, Samsung decided to give us an Ultra with better battery endurance and faster charging too. The lack of expandable memory is the only thing keeping the S25 Ultra back. The stylus lost itâs Bluetooth magic but still works great.
