Can I give two thumbs up for that adorable scene of your daughter? So adorable! I remember when my daughter used to talk like that and now she's giving me sass, singing songs, and speaking more "correctly" that I miss some of those cute words they would use to say things: i.e. "straw-bee" for strawberry
@@aerojcordero I imagine the battery life gains are good enough of an upgrade on their own. You should trade your S22 Ultra in for a significant discount if the battery life is bugging you a lot. :)
One thing that you forgot to mention Thao, is that Samsung have decided to remove Bluetooth functionality from the S Pen, for whatever reason I don't know. So for people who used it as a remote shutter for the camera, it's gone now. However as other reviewers have said, there are at least 2 or 3 other ways of doing the same thing.
I don't know how you do, but you got the best mobile phones and tablets video presentation. Your way of showing the devices is neat and precise. All Samsung devices I got, I bought them after watching your videos.
I didn't think I'd like the rounded out corners, but the round is slight so it's actually not bad. I'm coming off an iPhone 14 Pro Max, which has big ol' circular curves and the dynamic island camera cut out, so it'll be nice to have a pin drip camera hole and the closer to angular corners. It didn't jump in price in the US from what the 24 Ultra seemed to be going for these past few weeks, and the trade-in deals/pre-order instant savings are kinda insane, so it's an easy upgrade for me.
Man I forgot about everything you said when the cutey showed up at the end... more videos on that ball of joy... that was beautiful Thao... Great video as always
Nice coverage, thanks Thao, always a pleasure to follow new mobile release and reviews on your chanel. Helped me make a decision on my Tab S9, super happy with it's size and format. :)
I love the video the s25u produces, so smooth when u switch zoom length, the upgraded 50mp ultra wide camera is awsome, I'm very happy with the stabilization at 10x zoom at 4k 60, the battery upgrade doesn't bother me too much, they claim that it's much more efficient so that's a fair reason for no upgrade.
Big steps in phones are long gone. Even camera hardware upgrades are far less important than ISP processing afterwards nowadays. I'm wondering if S25 might be the last standard/small Galaxy S and after downgrading S-Pen even the last Ultra with S-Pen. We'll see next year. In your detailed test please try out video log profile, as this might be a real big improvement in quality. Every 300-400€/$ action cam has this, why did it take so long for these expensive flag ship phones ... The last scene is adorable, grew up so fast
The uktra wide camera got a massage spec bump. After optimization, it'll be a great improvement. And the cpu chip is dramatically better! Can't wait to get one later this summer or so
Love how your 1st impressions video as well as the explanations of the functionality of the 'upgrades''. But this might be the phone upgrade I've been waiting for. Can you do a comparison on the cameras between S24 Ultra and the S25 Ultra on the full review. Thanks
Absolutely love your detailed impressions Thao. The new AI features and design tweaks sound so exciting. Looking forward to your full review. You always break things down so well. Thanks for keeping us informed and for all the effort you put in. Amazing job as always.
pre orderd the white one!!! i feel like the neutral ones work so much better for me since i like to get funky phone cases, most recently and for this one as well got one from burga (ur little girl is adorable:))
I got the Pixel 9 specifically for the call recording and the call notes. But unfortunately it's not available in Canada. Had I known, I wouldn't have upgraded. Do you know if it will be available on the S25 in Canada?
Could you test how the s25 ultra is with kids with indoor lighting? My little guy is 2 and Samsung phones have struggled in the past ending up with blurry out of focus photos. Thanks!
Oh my goodness your daughter is so big!!!! she it totally adorable! Thank you for the awesome review and information. Keep the wonderful content coming and stay awesome!
I've always been someone to upgrade my phone every 2 years at the end of my contract but there's zero chance that happens when my S24U contract ends. Feels like it'll be soooo long until this thing is too old
Nice devices😊. Beautiful design and good AI features. I keep my Pixel 9 pro in obsidian. Happy with it. Thanks for a nice video. I enjoy watching them❤.
As an s23u I have been to samsung kings cross experience store and I have preordered s25u already, no regrets - rounded edges and flat sides give iphone vibes at the same time s25u feels smaller than s23u - if you can afford it, with trade in - its totally worth it
Loss of Bluetooth functionality with the s pen kinda sucks. But the updates are fresh. All phone companies outside of AI and battery and slight camera improvements are peaked. Maybe if you can mention the Samsung exclusive colors which a lot of people forget about. Great content as always.
Cool video! Ultra is Ultra is Ultra so if I change from my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra to newer phone it won’t be S25 Ultra or S24 Ultra but S23 Ultra. Two newer ones are way too expensive. Actually S23 Ultra might also still be. Have to wait.
Having used both the S25U at that event as well as the OnePlus 13 before… the OP13 is the more interesting phone to use! (Also, your daughter is relentlessly adorable).
Thanks for the early review. How is the S25 ultra for quickly grabbing those toddler moments? It's always been their weakness capturing that. Also, does your daughter watch Peppa Pig and Duggee? Cos my son does and now he has a slight British accent too (we're Aussie) 😂
Thank you Thao for the awesome review, I love the Samsung 25 designs and colors, I just wish that they offered a black color like the previous models, but the icy blue is beautiful😍, if your like me, have a Samsung 23 and have charging issues like me, my charging port is messed up and probably has lent or debri in it, I try blowing out the debri and even went to a T-Mobile repair shop and they even try blowing out the debris, but no luck, I was told, next time I get a phone, use a case like a otterbox with a port cover, don't use the phone while th USB cable is plugged in, it can damage the port, it's sad, because I love the Samsung 23 in cream I have, excellent performance and color, but have to use the wireless charging to charge my phone, I bought it as free with trade in, only paid taxes, I have one payment remaining, and thinking about the Samsung 25 or Google Pixel 9, either the regular, or plus models, both google pixel 9 and Samsung 25 are my two favorite phones, I don't think I can switch to a iPhone, with iPhone having outdated technology from like 10 years ago and charging you more than Samsung or Google pixel, I recommend you upgrading your phone to the Samsung 25 models or Google pixel 9 ones, if you have a older phone, like Samsung 22 or older, or a pixel 7 or older, or have problems with your phone, if you have a Samsung 24 and if it's fine, then no need to upgrade to the Samsung 25 yet, so, I have T-Mobile and I pay $85 a month and looking into att, I know att isn't as good in customer service and coverage as T-Mobile and Verizon, but since I have att fiber internet, I can get unlimited everything plan for $70 a month and the new Samsung 25 for free or Google pixel 9 pro for free with trade in, I like the camera on pixel 9 nd the glossy finish on it, I wish Samsung 25 had a glossy finish, but, Samsung 25 has better performance and the battery life span is longer than pixel 9, I think 2 to 3 years longer, but again, the battery life will depend on how you use your phone, don't keep it charging when it's at 100% charged and don't download a lot of apps, don't download a lot of pictures, remember to cache your web browser time to time, restart your phone at lest once a week and keep your phone updated , love your review, any suggestions in what I should get? 😍📱🥰🤷♂️❤
The only thing about the Note 24/25 that tempts me to upgrade my Note 23 is the matte screen. It's not enough though. And now that the S-Pen is gimped, I might not ever upgrade. Maybe I'll upgrade to a Note 24, if I find a good deal on one, and then I'll keep that forever.
🛒Preorder at Samsung using link for an extra $50 credit - howl.link/3oi9oeb7qthmx (Affiliate)
Only for USA. Doesn't work for Canada.
I'm sad they removed the Bluetooth functionality from the s-pen...it was a perfect shutter button for group selfies or awkward angle shots.
Just say cheese or use your watch
wwait really? why would they do that!!!!
@PastorJacobsKuye nothing was as easy and reliable/consistent as using the spen, especially for burst / rapid shots
Palm gesture
You are joking g right ??? That's bad
Phew. The "Hello Thao here" was at the end. Cute too

The best part of the video was your little girl. she is adorable!!! lol
Im so mad that the navy color isn't on the Ultra. They did the same thing on the S24 last year with the violet.
Yes, that navy color caught my eye too..very nice. 👍🏽
That's the color I wanted but of course it's not on the Ultra. I hate when Samsung does this crap.
There is nothing to be mad about , Anyway most of us put a phone case on it , so the original phone color is not show
Great video! I'm definitely sticking with my S22 Ultra.
That's what I'm thinking but my battery life is not so good haha
@@aerojcordero I imagine the battery life gains are good enough of an upgrade on their own. You should trade your S22 Ultra in for a significant discount if the battery life is bugging you a lot. :)
@aerojcordero Same. I've noticed once it gets down to less than 20%, the battery starts draining a bit faster.
@@aerojcorderosame. But I'm still on my s21U
Naaw, definitely time for you to upgrade lol, i upgraded last year from the S21 plus, to the S24 plus. 3 years is long enough. But, that's me. 🤷🏽♂️

Hi Thao! Your daughter is so sweet! Great info! 🤗
Loved your video! Call recording wasn't even mentioned during the unpacked event.
What's new?? The removed the Bluetooth S-Pen functions!
Thanks! Informative as always.
Is Dex still available on S25 Ultra?
As i understood , it is available
When Are you doing a full review?
ordered the white ultra one because i find it easier to pair with cute phone cases
Nice review! subbed. Can you tell me what the phone cases where nearer the end? they looked so nice
Nice coverage, thanks Thao, always a pleasure to follow new mobile release and reviews on your chanel. Helped me make a decision on my Tab S9, super happy with it's size and format. :)

The last scene is adorable, grew up so fast
Can you use it when the screen is wet like the one plus? Because that feature is really tempting
The uktra wide camera got a massage spec bump. After optimization, it'll be a great improvement. And the cpu chip is dramatically better! Can't wait to get one later this summer or so
I truly appreciate it; it's fantastic!
are these new features coming to galaxy fold 4?
Love how your 1st impressions video as well as the explanations of the functionality of the 'upgrades''. But this might be the phone upgrade I've been waiting for. Can you do a comparison on the cameras between S24 Ultra and the S25 Ultra on the full review. Thanks
Omg I rember before your daughter was born, and now she's so big and CUTE! Adorable baby Thao!
Very useful review, thank you.
I would like to know more about Gemini for Samsung.
The stand case shown towards the end, was it white or grey?
That thing is huge. Love it!
Absolutely love your detailed impressions Thao. The new AI features and design tweaks sound so exciting. Looking forward to your full review. You always break things down so well. Thanks for keeping us informed and for all the effort you put in. Amazing job as always.
Does the S25 Ultra get the 16GB of RAM with 512GB or 1TB storage?
For the full review, is it true bt capabilities of the pen are gone?
Hi Thao why don't you have the new addition to the line the S25 Edge or known as Galaxy Slim
What non exclusive color is best or you like most. Help me decide.
pre orderd the white one!!! i feel like the neutral ones work so much better for me since i like to get funky phone cases, most recently and for this one as well got one from burga (ur little girl is adorable:))
Can you do closeup of each color. Please
I got the Pixel 9 specifically for the call recording and the call notes. But unfortunately it's not available in Canada. Had I known, I wouldn't have upgraded. Do you know if it will be available on the S25 in Canada?
Becca honestly makes the best smartphone and camera reviews ever.
Great video Thao! You are a top reviewer on RUclips ⭐️🙌🏽
hello thao huynh, I'm watching from South Africa, i'm think of upgrading from my S21 FE from 2022, and I don't know which model to go for, any advice?
Please cover about the s pen features as its doesn't have bluetooth now
I would love to see reviews on their mid-range phones (A series).
Could you test how the s25 ultra is with kids with indoor lighting? My little guy is 2 and Samsung phones have struggled in the past ending up with blurry out of focus photos. Thanks!
Oh my goodness your daughter is so big!!!! she it totally adorable!
Thank you for the awesome review and information. Keep the wonderful content coming and stay awesome!
Is the s25 smaller than last year's?
Hi Thao I like that navy blue. nice review
That was fast!
What about the sound for movies and music
I like the way you cover samsung products
U didn't mention Samsung took away bluetooth on the spen😢
Exactly. Just one of the critical key that was taken away.
She's a sellout
Excellent phone and thanks for sharing😁🙏
I've always been someone to upgrade my phone every 2 years at the end of my contract but there's zero chance that happens when my S24U contract ends. Feels like it'll be soooo long until this thing is too old
No monthly payments 👐
love you chau ngoai !
Thanks THẢO
Uh oh it fell down! 😂❤️❤️
That phone case😮
Baby Thao is so cute!
Hello, I’m Cecilia. It’s a pleasure to meet you!
Always delivering
Sending love from Ghana
Nice devices😊. Beautiful design and good AI features. I keep my Pixel 9 pro in obsidian. Happy with it.
Thanks for a nice video. I enjoy watching them❤.
As an s23u I have been to samsung kings cross experience store and I have preordered s25u already, no regrets - rounded edges and flat sides give iphone vibes at the same time s25u feels smaller than s23u - if you can afford it, with trade in - its totally worth it
hey, call recording was always there in galaxy phones :)
surprised you didnt know

Thao here
Thao there
Thao everywhere
Speakers?
Would this (base GalaxyS25) be a good upgrade from the iPhone 14 Pro Max?
Not fussed about the larger display!
Cool video! Ultra is Ultra is Ultra so if I change from my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra to newer phone it won’t be S25 Ultra or S24 Ultra but S23 Ultra. Two newer ones are way too expensive. Actually S23 Ultra might also still be. Have to wait.
Good review thank you by the way you have an adorable little daughter oh my God she’s so cute. You must be so happy with her. She’s a sweetie.
7:17 - 7:23 : the best part of this video ! 👍👍👍🍼🍼🍼🐭🐭🐭
Dumb question 😅 but would an S24+ case fit the S25+ ??
I'm sick and tired of big phones. Is the regular S25 good enough? Are there other "small" phones that can match or exceed the regular S25? Thanks
Is this worth upgrading from my s23 ultra
I usually upgrade every 2 years, but have absolutely no interest. Keeping my 23 ultra lol
I probably if you want to go to an s24 tho not 25
How easy is it to shut down the AI features?
Gostei muito vídeo top , deu vontade de compra Brasil ama Samsung
not only Samsung event ended with a surprise, wish you all with happiness
So in other words: the Note9 is still king.
Forever and always. I was so sad when mine broke
Still on mine.
that Bixby button was ELITE 🔥🔥
Still on my note 10+
Liking this from my note 9! 😂👍🏼
Hi thao long time not see yup you haven't post any new videos
Hang on to your s23 or s24 because we will get these features soon!
Having used both the S25U at that event as well as the OnePlus 13 before… the OP13 is the more interesting phone to use! (Also, your daughter is relentlessly adorable).
I'd like to know which one I should get? I'm upgrading from the S22 Ultra
I heard they took some functions away from the pen
Correct. No Bluetooth connection. Can't use the pen to take selfies anymore 😅
I'm waiting for a budget line with micro SD support.
Thanks for the early review.

The colors on ultra are not good..!
I was going to upgrade from s 22 ultra but not now.
Feeling sad on seeing that rounded corners and the colors
The loss of a bluetooth S pen is a major bummer
Are you a wizard in your spare time.?
@ru76224 lol I try to be. S Pen always used to let me flex
@@MrJ.31
Although I agree it's a feature they could have kept. I feel it's not a major disappointment it's gone.
I'd rather there was an IR blaster.
@ru76224 yeah that too. That's definitely something they should've kept. It's honestly one of the reasons I keep eyeballing the Oneplus13
Only $700 trade in on the S24+. Rough. That's about on par with how much it's selling for used.
The next generation of the channel is assured! 👶🏻 Thanks for the preview!
Not a review until Thao drops some tech knowledge!
And no "Thao here!!" Intro??? 😔 (I'm a long time follower) 😎
I may get it cos of the rounded corners. The sharp corners of the Notes have been piercing my jeans pockets for years.
is it worth getting it over the S24 Ultra how much of the AI comes to the S24 Ultra.
Ironically the camera rings look similar to how the s24 look after you install spigen protective camera rings
It has the A-pen, but no more Bluetooth
The disaappointment in the upgrade has pushed me to buy the vivo x200 pro instead.
