7:25 this is so true. Samsung keeps playing safe. And safe just won't cut it anymore. Even the color options are incredibly dull. It's just for me personally I can't use narrow screens like OP 15 so I really don't have a choice right now.
I’m switching to a s25 ultra from a standard iPhone 15 this Friday and I am so ridiculously excited. I’m hoping it will last me a longer time because I find my phone need replacing every twoish years so I’m really hoping I’m gonna get at least three+ years
As someone that did this. Don't. The 'new-phone' buzz will wear off fast and you'll quickly realise you have a powerful phone with naff all decent apps to use on it.
@blackburn-fm8bu No, I'm predominantly talking about the eco-system shift. Android app support is absolutely awful. I have a great phone in the s25 ultra, with awful applications to use on it.
@hondurasen3632 Good point, however consider that you can't always have an tablet everywhere you go but your phone is more handy and goes everywhere you do, and if you are taking notes than the yes the s pen on the ultra is a lot more practicable and very convenient !
I wish their flips adapted a lot of these flagship premium features & include S24U S-pen capabilities. Of course I'm also looking forward to seeing the Mottorola razer flip improving; they're so unique and sleek-- flip phones nostalgia. They should just collab.
To see your battery status, usage patterns, and health, follow these steps: Open the Settings app. Scroll down and tap on Battery. From here, you can see: Remaining percentage and estimated time left. Usage chart: Tap the graph to see which apps are draining the most power. Battery Protection: Options to limit charging to 80% or use "Basic/Adaptive" protection to extend the lifespan of the battery. Tip: If you want to see the specific "Health" status (like a "Good/Normal" rating), you can scroll to the bottom of the Battery menu and tap Battery health (available on newer One UI versions).
Watching from my S25 Ultra and A56 is a middle range best phone with a refresh rate. And battery I can say is good too as a Tiktok creator and heavy duty gaming but S25 Ultra has a zoom that can take a picture of a moon and non of my friend believe they thought was a picture downloaded but it says is from camera if you choose a picture and swipe up it will say where the details of it taken. And S Pen is a need for me
@300hunnabandz_8 it depends on what you specifically need, and if you're committed to apple ecosystem then you shouldn't, but if you prefer versatility then go for it. You can do almost everything a smartphone can do with just using this phone. You'll love it man.
I have had mine since release and it's also still at 100% battery health, 262 cycles. I almost always get though a full day without needing to charge it unless I'm playing games then I naturally need to charge it again just to top it back up. I also have the same issue with the pen popping out from time to time, luckily it doesn't fall out, just pops up. I think it's a fantastic phone and I'll be keeping it for a few more years before upgrading it. Do you not use a screen protector? I love the anti-glare but was worried about scratches so I've had a protector on most of the time.
Should you? Yes, 100% i bought mine at launch (Feb2025) it has been excellent in the areas i care about. Performance, display, battery life and the camera. 2 things that slightly annoy me are the black camera rings and removal of spen functions. The ultra should have all of the options, hence the ultra name. Low key I'm jealous you have stock battery health info.
i have an Iphone 7 plus and planning to switch to android after 6 years of use from my apple phone. im glad i watched this video because i personally love to have gimmicks and little fun twists in devices that make them stand out, and finding out the S25 Ultra doesnt have the bluetooth support for the s pen made me choose the S24 Ultra instead
I have the s24U but I hate the cameras. My s22 cameras were way better. I'm afraid it gets the s24U cuz it seems the camera picture quality is getting worse
Good video! I am keeping my S24 Ultra. It is the main camera and editing machine for my channel. Along with my Tab S10 Ultra. Its a content creation machine! I am hoping to keep it another year or two. It also runs a couple of medical devices for me. I am a super heavy user as you can imagine, and my whole life runs on it. Notes, Samsung Wallet, Calculator...etc. such an amazing productivity machine. And it is really fun to use.
I would like to buy the S24 ultra instead of the S25 ultra. But people say that buying fake ones is quite common, and you can't buy them directly on the Samsung's website anymore... So, I am kinda stuck looking for reasons to actually get a S25 ultra.
But I wish that S-pen have blutooth so that we can click the photos and other usages 😢 i wanna buy s25ultra but s24 ultra have that blutooth on its S-pen. Aaah it's so hard to decide what should I go for please some advice needed
As someone that has moved to the S25 Ultra having used Pro Max iPhones for the last 8/9 years... I can say it is a great device, a powerhouse all round. Whilst there is so many features in android that just make so much sense and improve quality of life over iOS... What ruins it for me is 1. Google Play absolutely stinks as a store. 2. App design and availability is truly awful, the UI on the bulk of android apps is horrible and there's so many great apps I miss that you cannot get on this platform, I'll be going straight back to iOS as soon as my contract allows.
Ah sorry i should have put some in the video! I would say they are good, obviously have to keep the camera still for a good night photo but ive taken some really nice photos outside at night with a full moon 🌕
I got on this video looking for other options. I am not much of a chinese phone's user, because I still look for equipments that could have a shred of privacy. But other than that. What other smartphones would you recommend that are comparable with the hardware and video camera in the S25 ultra?
I totally agree about the S-Pen. What suck's is that I broke mine on my S23-Ultra, 2 weeks in...replaced it for $80, and now that I'm moving on to the S25-Ultra, I still have my 23's S-Pen and can't use it on my 25! (My S-23 Ultra's screen is totalled) *anyone know how much (avg) it would be to replace my s23ultra's screen?
I seen a deal for the jet black ultra £44 per month with unlimited data/mins/texts on 2 years contract and comes with a free galaxy 8 watch. Is that a good deal? Might go for it!
I've been an android user since iPhone 5s when I moved to Germany and at 5celcius the iPhone shut down while I was taking photos because of the low temperature 😅 I ordered the S25 and expecting it to arrive tomorrow. I've been watching iPhone with binoculars for the last 12 years and I'm starting to think that I should be using a telescope. The AI, the battery, the ui optimizations, the cameras, the flexibility and just pure freedom I've been experiencing with android is indescribable. Phones are supposed to be helping you 3x your efficiency in your every day life and being fun as a bonus. That's how I'd describe android in a few words.
Can you give me your opinion about speaker like when listening to music does it deliever bassy sound or just loud sound? I am gonna upgrade from a55 but and i have to choose between 16 pro max or s25 ultra. I will be happier if you give me your opinion
@legendryscorpion5962 16 pro max speaker sounds better. I was wondering the same until I tested both. I went with 16 pro max for my upgrade from iPhone 13
If you're watching videos throughout all platforms then DON'T EXPECT IT TO LAST MORE THAN 5 HOURS!! 😢😢😢. Yes the battery is good but it's good as long as you don't use it all the time for watching videos, playing games, and recording, these three will for sure drain it till the last drop in about 5 hours max. Keep that in mind.
@LordhitchyThis is due to software. One UI 7 put a hit on battery life to a lot of people and Galaxy Phones. One UI 8.5 may fix it. Thats what Im hearing but I may be upgrading to the S26 Ultra anyway.
If you don't need the best all the time. I have a s23 ultra and I despise the narrowness of op 15 and Pixel xl so... 25 is for me. It's really not that big though. Look up Huawei Mate 20X.
I feel like if they do make it to where it only takes 5 minutes to charge it could result in battery issues in the future... someone help me understand please! I'm switching from the iPhone 12 to the Samsung Galaxy S25 ultra... i need answer about the battery !! lol
@Richesgamerstudio turn off or reduce AOD usage, reduce the screen quality and refresh rate turn off background activity on all apps to name a few. But a phone losing charge while idle is normal, I've no idea what this guy was expecting, if you don't want it to lose charge while idle, turn the phone off when you're not using it.
I use darkmode, wifi uses less battery consumption compared to using data, also you can use the light performance profile but if you are okay with what youll be giving up 👌, I regularly check my battery stats and am a heavy user no gaming tho and get 10hrs screen on time on average
Depends on your budget really mate, in reality though youre going to get a lot more value from buying an S25 Ultra now compared to the S26 imo - if money isnt an issue for you, then get the S26 :)
For me this phone gets me through a day easy and some more, thats using at max resolution, usually 2-4 hours of android auto - obviously if youre watching movies all the time it will be much harder to hit my kind of nunbers, but I maintain a typical day of usage for most people wont cause battery anxiety
I pulled the the trigger today and ordered it. I've been an Android user forever. I tried Apple once wasn't for me but for the past few years I've had the flip and I've loved it. You can hide it in your bra. It's the best little phone but the technology is just not there yet. One drop and the inside screen goes out after 6 attempts. I had to say goodbye to the flip. It's going to be a learning curve for such a big phone but they say bigger is better.
Yeah I moved from the fold for simillar reasons! Even though its getting better, I still dont trust foldable displays all that much - hope you enjoy the S25 Ultra!
how do you still on 100%? I have only gotten my s25 ultra for about 7 months, 80% battery protection, always under a fan when charging, 100% power saving + slow processor. now I'm at 99%
Done all the same things as you I guess! I very rarely charge more than i need to, tend to do mid day charges, never really to 100% if i can help it, and rarely let it drop below 10% - but youre doing everything right, im sure mine will drop a % soon 😊
It likely started above 100% as in the mAh capacity of the battery was higher than the S25 Ultra’s design specifications. It’s still above that now and because that’s higher than the capacity the software measures against it reports 100%
I exchanged my s25 Ultra 256GB for a beautiful red Vivo X200 Ultra 512GB. I have absolutely zero regrets. I’ve owned every single high end Galaxy from the first S1 to S25 Ultra and all the Notes. Samsung has become boring though effortlessly dependable and reliable. I know I’ll still get the S26 Ultra after it drops. I love this video. Subscribed. 💯👊🏽
Why do you all make the same video and then ask if it's worth it The S25 Ultra is a top high and of course it's worth it after 1 year to stop confusing people because the latest isn't directly the better one. We've reached a level that you can easily use your devices for 5 years, of course, if you handle the battery well or have to swap it for what, but defetetuv isn't as expensive as the upcoming S26. Meaningful ❤
Its more of a 1 year later review, and disagree that the last flagship is always the better choice - the purpose of the video is to talk about my experience with the phone after a year, to help people make an informed decision, for example I found living with the S25 Ultra was more difficult than anticipated because of its size, I got over this, but others might be put off by that and want to go for a smaller model
Personally I just got the S24 ultra. I am getting better battery life than my GF get on her S25 ultra. I easily get 10+ hours SOT. Chinese phones getting 2 and 3 day battery life now. Samsung Apple and Google are sad these days.
I have the Samsung S25 Ultra on the iPhone 17 pro Max, and what I’ll say is that the iPhone battery tends to be a lot better than the Samsung battery, especially because on the Samsung you have to manually make changes so that form will last longer. You don’t have to do that on an iPhone.
Samsung should be giving us 7000mah minimum with 100W. Chinese phones out there much cheaper have this. Samsung has no excuses but don't get me wrong s25U is a beast especially when customised fully with good lock
Samsung are playing it safe sadly , the new phones are boring. They are following what apple did to their phone . Same design , barely any changes between model . Even the removal of s25u bluetooth on spen makes no sense. Id say spen wont stay for long. Dont get me wrong the phone is still indeed a beast 🙌
Oppo is killing it this year. If the S26 will have less than 6000mah, it will be a shame to buy it. I feel that Samsung got so lazy in previous years. Even with the Folds they are losing the battle
I just got this phone this week. I havent had a samsung since the Note 8. So far i like it but i think i got spoiled by having Pixels these past few years. Samsung plops in so much garbage 😂
@TechItEasyCollective Oukitel? That's like using Gigaset GX6 PRO as your daily and comparing it to the VIVO X300 pro. The Ultra's battery is not as you say in a larger competition If it's the 'best phone you've ever had', getting you through the day, you are a bit behind in what it happening in general with batteries - and where we are going
@shitsugane A phone having a better battery doesnt mean its automatically better, I've never had a day where ive run out of battery with the s25 Ultra, so for me a bigger battery wouldnt really contribute anything to my life - I do however mention the s25 Ultras battery being behind other phones in the review though so completely acknowledge samsung is behind here 👍
@TechItEasyCollective I get it. But you begin with it being 'the best one of the best you've had' getting you through the day Just pointing out they this sounds a little breathless to anyone looking at phones today - so it places you a little as a Samsung fan OnePlus, vivo, Xiaomi, Motorola realme are not just Chinese phones - they're not just 'unavailable' - and battery life in the present form factor is s26's current battleground. Samsung are excellent. But you're a bit gung-ho on the s25 Ultra's ability to get you through the day. If there is any weakness in Samsung it is the battery - and they will have to continue to push the boundary on image also because others are coming. However - when I read your title again, you are right - you are just saying that the Ultra S25 is still worth it in 2026. You're right - I agree.
Honestly I stand by what I said, theres very few days I dont have battery left at the end of the day - With normal usage - of course if you watch a movie or hours and hours of youtube it would be much less, but in general on a normal working day it should take you through the day nice and easy

I just received my new S25 Ultra. One word - Excellent! ❤❤
I just use the Camera Controller on my watch to take photos
This phn can last till 2030 ...................... without any hesitation
Agree 🫡
7:25 this is so true. Samsung keeps playing safe. And safe just won't cut it anymore. Even the color options are incredibly dull. It's just for me personally I can't use narrow screens like OP 15 so I really don't have a choice right now.

I rated the 15 but it definetly had some flaws, the s25 ultra will feel like a treat!
As someone that did this. Don't. The 'new-phone' buzz will wear off fast and you'll quickly realise you have a powerful phone with naff all decent apps to use on it.
@WoddyWod what from an ordinary 15 to an s25 ultra? Yeah everything gets old
@WoddyWodbut that's no reason not to upgrade
@blackburn-fm8bu No, I'm predominantly talking about the eco-system shift. Android app support is absolutely awful. I have a great phone in the s25 ultra, with awful applications to use on it.
Funnily enough just ordered a S25 Ultra today,coming from an S20 FE the ultra will last a good few years for me.
Do we need the s pin? Yes! It makes a huge difference. I take alot of notes so it works for me.
@kevinburrell3359 i cant imagine a phone with no s pen
@kevinburrell3359 well if u had a tablet screen the s pen would be more useful than on the ultra screen tbf
@hondurasen3632 Good point, however consider that you can't always have an tablet everywhere you go but your phone is more handy and goes everywhere you do, and if you are taking notes than the yes the s pen on the ultra is a lot more practicable and very convenient !
@spaceman063 haha yes, but that's also when the Zfold comes in! A tablet that folds into a phone, I have S25 U, I love it💪❤️
Almost impossible to lose the Spen if u turn the alarm on, itll notify u when u walk away from it
I wish their flips adapted a lot of these flagship premium features & include S24U S-pen capabilities. Of course I'm also looking forward to seeing the Mottorola razer flip improving; they're so unique and sleek-- flip phones nostalgia. They should just collab.
Super video annachi🎉
At 0:33 How do you check the battery health of a samsung phone?
To see your battery status, usage patterns, and health, follow these steps:
Open the Settings app.
Scroll down and tap on Battery.
From here, you can see:
Remaining percentage and estimated time left.
Usage chart: Tap the graph to see which apps are draining the most power.
Battery Protection: Options to limit charging to 80% or use "Basic/Adaptive" protection to extend the lifespan of the battery.
Tip: If you want to see the specific "Health" status (like a "Good/Normal" rating), you can scroll to the bottom of the Battery menu and tap Battery health (available on newer One UI versions).
European models have to legally show this, other don't
Upgraded from iphone 16 to s25 ultra few months ago...but i make good decisions i love my s25 ultra ❤
You can link it to three Bluetooth devices at once
3.2 nits on the Xiaomi but at 1080p Rez!?
I asked chatgpt and gemini which is the more cooler and effecient cable to use for S25 Ultra, they both say 5A cable is the way to go for effeciency
When and how do you charge your phone then if not at night? And when?
Its not that big same size as 17pm
Watching from my S25 Ultra and A56 is a middle range best phone with a refresh rate. And battery I can say is good too as a Tiktok creator and heavy duty gaming but S25 Ultra has a zoom that can take a picture of a moon and non of my friend believe they thought was a picture downloaded but it says is from camera if you choose a picture and swipe up it will say where the details of it taken. And S Pen is a need for me
The title of the video makes it sound like the phone is 10 years old or something
I just bought it yesterday
I hope this video validated your decision.. 😂
Hell of a video bro. Subbed right away
Appreciate you 💪
how to see this settings where u can see the battery life cycle
@KENNETHGARCIA-nv8oc you can't. This was cap
should i upgrade from 15 pro max to s25 ultra?
@300hunnabandz_8 it depends on what you specifically need, and if you're committed to apple ecosystem then you shouldn't, but if you prefer versatility then go for it. You can do almost everything a smartphone can do with just using this phone. You'll love it man.
@300hunnabandz_8 What do you use it for mostly?
@300hunnabandz_8 its only worth doing if you have used samasung in the past 🙂
Yess absolutely 💯 it's wayyy better than ip 15 pro Max
Hell nah bro the 15 pro max is still very great phone
Wait for s26u since there a huge changes with camera apperture, 65w charging, privacy screen etc.
@powgee22 none of that will revolutionize the phone, better to get the S25 ultra on a good deal
@mac8669 100% with you but if this guy has money why not. 😂
Troppo ingombrante 😅
Watching on my S21 ultra. I like 100x zoom I use it to read signs, take 60x photos and use the s pen for quick notes, selecting and some mock ups.
S21 Ultra doesnt have s pen lol
@leotravel85 yes my s21 ultra does have s pen.😂
No if you have s24u yes if its lower model
@Junkosama1
I have an S24 Ultra but I'm still getting the S26 Ultra.
I have a s22U so I may get this.
I have had mine since release and it's also still at 100% battery health, 262 cycles. I almost always get though a full day without needing to charge it unless I'm playing games then I naturally need to charge it again just to top it back up.

I love the anti-glare but was worried about scratches so I've had a protector on most of the time.
Nice thats good going that! I dont use a screen protector to be fair, I find them annoying (probably should do though)
I use the large zoom capability when im in a busy place and I need to snap a Pic of a sign or a food menu
+1 😂
Should you? Yes, 100% i bought mine at launch (Feb2025) it has been excellent in the areas i care about. Performance, display, battery life and the camera. 2 things that slightly annoy me are the black camera rings and removal of spen functions. The ultra should have all of the options, hence the ultra name. Low key I'm jealous you have stock battery health info.
Well yes obviously its a great phone .
It should be just buy it if you are watching this video not should you buy it?
i have an Iphone 7 plus and planning to switch to android after 6 years of use from my apple phone. im glad i watched this video because i personally love to have gimmicks and little fun twists in devices that make them stand out, and finding out the S25 Ultra doesnt have the bluetooth support for the s pen made me choose the S24 Ultra instead
Thats a completely valid reason to go with the S24!
I have the s24U but I hate the cameras. My s22 cameras were way better. I'm afraid it gets the s24U cuz it seems the camera picture quality is getting worse
Good video! I am keeping my S24 Ultra. It is the main camera and editing machine for my channel. Along with my Tab S10 Ultra. Its a content creation machine!

Notes, Samsung Wallet, Calculator...etc. such an amazing productivity machine. And it is really fun to use.
Nice! Deffinetly hold on to it then, I bet it feels like a new phone whenever a major One UI update drops 💪
Since S24 Series Samsung promise 7 years software update so you can keep as long as you can 👍
I would like to buy the S24 ultra instead of the S25 ultra. But people say that buying fake ones is quite common, and you can't buy them directly on the Samsung's website anymore... So, I am kinda stuck looking for reasons to actually get a S25 ultra.
But I wish that S-pen have blutooth so that we can click the photos and other usages 😢 i wanna buy s25ultra but s24 ultra have that blutooth on its S-pen.
Aaah it's so hard to decide what should I go for please some advice needed
@azidbarbhuiya7689 you may be able to buy a Bluetooth s-pen for the Samsung Galaxy s25 ultra... That's probably what I will do.
How can you show your battery health on samsung ? Can you explain pls ?
Some EU variants have this.
Yes 😊
I wanted to wait for the s26 ultra, but last week there was a deal, s25 ultra for half price, so i bought it 😅
I dont think you will be upset! Enjoy mate!
As someone that has moved to the S25 Ultra having used Pro Max iPhones for the last 8/9 years... I can say it is a great device, a powerhouse all round. Whilst there is so many features in android that just make so much sense and improve quality of life over iOS... What ruins it for me is 1. Google Play absolutely stinks as a store. 2.

What should i buy in 2026 s25 ultra or 16 pro max
@GODSONISSAC ask chatgpt you'll be surprised
How are night photos and videos on the S25 Ultra?
Ah sorry i should have put some in the video! I would say they are good, obviously have to keep the camera still for a good night photo but ive taken some really nice photos outside at night with a full moon 🌕
im looking to swap from iphone after 6 years, id love the s pen to write kanji and take notes but not sure to go with 25 ultra or 26 ultra yet
Just wait till the s26 ultra is released then, don't need to rush the decision! Hopefully the S25 Ultra will be even cheaper then too :)
If Samsung got rid of the s pen on the ultra I would switch to a google pixel
I had a pixel for a good while and I loved it to be fair!
Did you ever wish to have bigger hands instead of a smaller phone?
As good as the s25 ultra is, theres better options for less money now. Oppo find x9 pro for one.
I got on this video looking for other options. I am not much of a chinese phone's user, because I still look for equipments that could have a shred of privacy. But other than that. What other smartphones would you recommend that are comparable with the hardware and video camera in the S25 ultra?
I wish the screen would go to Max brightness without having to use adaptive brightness!
Valid point!
S25u is not that big, u must have small hands, i honestly wish they would make it 7" or little bigger. Especially being the ULTRA MODEL
I totally agree about the S-Pen. What suck's is that I broke mine on my S23-Ultra, 2 weeks in...replaced it for $80, and now that I'm moving on to the S25-Ultra, I still have my 23's S-Pen and can't use it on my 25! (My S-23 Ultra's screen is totalled)
*anyone know how much (avg) it would be to replace my s23ultra's screen?
Its rm1000+ in my country which is abt 250usd
I’ve been using iPhones for 10 years and I have the 17 pro max. I’ve had it for about 4 months but I have the S25 ultra coming today and I want change
Let us know what you think 👀
Love my s25u
I have no doubt it loves you too
I seen a deal for the jet black ultra £44 per month with unlimited data/mins/texts on 2 years contract and comes with a free galaxy 8 watch. Is that a good deal? Might go for it!
I dont think thats half bad at all! Unlimited data can cost a fair bit on its own to be honest
I've been an android user since iPhone 5s when I moved to Germany and at 5celcius the iPhone shut down while I was taking photos because of the low temperature 😅
I ordered the S25 and expecting it to arrive tomorrow. I've been watching iPhone with binoculars for the last 12 years and I'm starting to think that I should be using a telescope. The AI, the battery, the ui optimizations, the cameras, the flexibility and just pure freedom I've been experiencing with android is indescribable. Phones are supposed to be helping you 3x your efficiency in your every day life and being fun as a bonus. That's how I'd describe android in a few words.
I did buy it.
Can you give me your opinion about speaker like when listening to music does it deliever bassy sound or just loud sound? I am gonna upgrade from a55 but and i have to choose between 16 pro max or s25 ultra. I will be happier if you give me your opinion
@legendryscorpion5962 16 pro max speaker sounds better. I was wondering the same until I tested both. I went with 16 pro max for my upgrade from iPhone 13
Speakers are excellent but gsm arena does battery tests, you should check them out.
16 pm
Will there be even more of a discount once the S26U is out? I'm upgrading from a S22U.
Impossible to predict, but I would expect so!
Confused between s25 ultra n 17pro max which one you suggest for content creation ?
@askrazzy4 for content creation apple has the upper hand , with better in apps video quality. So the iphone 17 pro max is better for CONTENT CREATION.
I use my s pen allllllllll the time
If you're watching videos throughout all platforms then DON'T EXPECT IT TO LAST MORE THAN 5 HOURS!! 😢😢😢. Yes the battery is good but it's good as long as you don't use it all the time for watching videos, playing games, and recording, these three will for sure drain it till the last drop in about 5 hours max. Keep that in mind.
I have to charge my S24 Ultra more then I use to since the One UI 7 Update. I'm now at OneUI 8.
To be fair its 2 years old now as well!
Might just need a fresh battery, depending on your current battery health of course.
@LordhitchyThis is due to software. One UI 7 put a hit on battery life to a lot of people and Galaxy Phones. One UI 8.5 may fix it. Thats what Im hearing but I may be upgrading to the S26 Ultra anyway.
If you don't need the best all the time. I have a s23 ultra and I despise the narrowness of op 15 and Pixel xl so... 25 is for me. It's really not that big though. Look up Huawei Mate 20X.
It feels huge to me but maybe thats the case 😂
@TechItEasyCollectiveI love your hair btw
I feel like if they do make it to where it only takes 5 minutes to charge it could result in battery issues in the future... someone help me understand please! I'm switching from the iPhone 12 to the Samsung Galaxy S25 ultra... i need answer about the battery !! lol
It might effect longevity a bit but ultimatley wont make a huge difference - if thats a concern of yours then S25 Ultra is a great buy :)
@TechItEasyCollective thank you so much for that!
2:12 its not good..my s25 drains without me using it
@Richesgamerstudio got to turn of alot of stuff
@piobandz68which is?
I'd say it's great. Mine has improved over time but it's been amazing so far
@Richesgamerstudio turn off or reduce AOD usage, reduce the screen quality and refresh rate turn off background activity on all apps to name a few. But a phone losing charge while idle is normal, I've no idea what this guy was expecting, if you don't want it to lose charge while idle, turn the phone off when you're not using it.
I use darkmode, wifi uses less battery consumption compared to using data, also you can use the light performance profile but if you are okay with what youll be giving up 👌, I regularly check my battery stats and am a heavy user no gaming tho and get 10hrs screen on time on average
Got a 23 ultra debating if it's worth it
I think its an awesome phone, but might be worth seeing what you think of the S26 Ultra :)
which game at 9:40?
Black desert mobile :)
Is it worth waiting for the s26 ultra or just get the s25 ultra? As i have given my s23 ultra to my parent.
Depends on your budget really mate, in reality though youre going to get a lot more value from buying an S25 Ultra now compared to the S26 imo - if money isnt an issue for you, then get the S26 :)
Lol what battery life? Dude the thing lasts like 5 hours heavy use
I'm getting 9 hours sot on average.
For me this phone gets me through a day easy and some more, thats using at max resolution, usually 2-4 hours of android auto - obviously if youre watching movies all the time it will be much harder to hit my kind of nunbers, but I maintain a typical day of usage for most people wont cause battery anxiety
I pulled the the trigger today and ordered it. I've been an Android user forever. I tried Apple once wasn't for me but for the past few years I've had the flip and I've loved it. You can hide it in your bra. It's the best little phone but the technology is just not there yet. One drop and the inside screen goes out after 6 attempts. I had to say goodbye to the flip. It's going to be a learning curve for such a big phone but they say bigger is better.
Yeah I moved from the fold for simillar reasons! Even though its getting better, I still dont trust foldable displays all that much - hope you enjoy the S25 Ultra!
The S25U Has the best OLED Screen I Can Confirm that
how do you still on 100%? I have only gotten my s25 ultra for about 7 months, 80% battery protection, always under a fan when charging, 100% power saving + slow processor. now I'm at 99%
Done all the same things as you I guess! I very rarely charge more than i need to, tend to do mid day charges, never really to 100% if i can help it, and rarely let it drop below 10% - but youre doing everything right, im sure mine will drop a % soon 😊
@bytherriess I always use a fan whenever changing my phones I can't understand how those who know about tech doesn't do so also?
It likely started above 100% as in the mAh capacity of the battery was higher than the S25 Ultra’s design specifications. It’s still above that now and because that’s higher than the capacity the software measures against it reports 100%
I exchanged my s25 Ultra 256GB for a beautiful red Vivo X200 Ultra 512GB. I have absolutely zero regrets. I’ve owned every single high end Galaxy from the first S1 to S25 Ultra and all the Notes. Samsung has become boring though effortlessly dependable and reliable. I know I’ll still get the S26 Ultra after it drops.
I love this video. Subscribed. 💯👊🏽
"Boring though effortlessly dependable.." is THE perfect way of putting it - appreciate your thoughts!
If you weren't happy with your s25U I am 100% sure you'll not be happy with the a26U lol
Why do you all make the same video and then ask if it's worth it The S25 Ultra is a top high and of course it's worth it after 1 year to stop confusing people because the latest isn't directly the better one. We've reached a level that you can easily use your devices for 5 years, of course, if you handle the battery well or have to swap it for what, but defetetuv isn't as expensive as the upcoming S26. Meaningful ❤
Its more of a 1 year later review, and disagree that the last flagship is always the better choice - the purpose of the video is to talk about my experience with the phone after a year, to help people make an informed decision, for example I found living with the S25 Ultra was more difficult than anticipated because of its size, I got over this, but others might be put off by that and want to go for a smaller model
Will the cameras get downgraded after s26ultra release?? Reply....
Nothing official yet so cant answer that mate!
@TechItEasyCollectivebut it has been going for years right? Rumors or truth?
Personally I just got the S24 ultra. I am getting better battery life than my GF get on her S25 ultra. I easily get 10+ hours SOT. Chinese phones getting 2 and 3 day battery life now. Samsung Apple and Google are sad these days.
Yeah Im a samsung fan boy..but.. I cant disagree with what you just said 🤷♂️
Still rocking my s24 ultra, better phone imo. Highly recommended for 2026.
Agree. A S24U new, if you can get it, would be a far better deal. I'm still running my S23U.
I can agree with the s24 ultra being a better deal right now, but the s25 ultra is better in every way except for the s pen.
Agree 🔥
Yeah S pen is a big shame for sure, not hopeful Samsung will add bluetooth to the S26 Ultra S pwn either tbh
Nice! Hows the battery holding up for you?
The S26 ultra looks horrible enough to put me off I thought S25 ultra was a bit much but I’ll maybe buy one of them instead
I mean the S26 might surprise us but if I was you I'd get an S25 Ultra!
I have the Samsung S25 Ultra on the iPhone 17 pro Max, and what I’ll say is that the iPhone battery tends to be a lot better than the Samsung battery, especially because on the Samsung you have to manually make changes so that form will last longer. You don’t have to do that on an iPhone.
Should Buy S24 Ultra In 2026?
Samsung should be giving us 7000mah minimum with 100W. Chinese phones out there much cheaper have this. Samsung has no excuses but don't get me wrong s25U is a beast especially when customised fully with good lock
Samsung are playing it safe sadly , the new phones are boring. They are following what apple did to their phone . Same design , barely any changes between model . Even the removal of s25u bluetooth on spen makes no sense. Id say spen wont stay for long. Dont get me wrong the phone is still indeed a beast 🙌
Oppo is killing it this year. If the S26 will have less than 6000mah, it will be a shame to buy it. I feel that Samsung got so lazy in previous years. Even with the Folds they are losing the battle
Yeah dont disagree with this!
No the s26 will be out in a few more weeks
I just got this phone this week. I havent had a samsung since the Note 8. So far i like it but i think i got spoiled by having Pixels these past few years. Samsung plops in so much garbage 😂
I always say one of my favourite phones ive ever owned was actually the pixel 2 😂
s25 ultra's camera trash 🚮
Even people at Samsung don't use the S-pen that much.
I use it all the time. I hate touching the display.
You clearly have never used some of the Chinese phones
OnePlus rocks
Excuse me I used the Oukitel WP100 Titan as my daily driver for a week. 🫡
@TechItEasyCollective
Oukitel?
That's like using Gigaset GX6 PRO as your daily and comparing it to the VIVO X300 pro.
The Ultra's battery is not as you say in a larger competition
If it's the 'best phone you've ever had', getting you through the day, you are a bit behind in what it happening in general with batteries - and where we are going
@shitsugane A phone having a better battery doesnt mean its automatically better, I've never had a day where ive run out of battery with the s25 Ultra, so for me a bigger battery wouldnt really contribute anything to my life - I do however mention the s25 Ultras battery being behind other phones in the review though so completely acknowledge samsung is behind here 👍
@TechItEasyCollective
I get it.
But you begin with it being 'the best one of the best you've had' getting you through the day
Just pointing out they this sounds a little breathless to anyone looking at phones today - so it places you a little as a Samsung fan
OnePlus, vivo, Xiaomi, Motorola realme are not just Chinese phones - they're not just 'unavailable' - and battery life in the present form factor is s26's current battleground.
Samsung are excellent. But you're a bit gung-ho on the s25 Ultra's ability to get you through the day.
If there is any weakness in Samsung it is the battery - and they will have to continue to push the boundary on image also because others are coming.
However - when I read your title again, you are right - you are just saying that the Ultra S25 is still worth it in 2026.
You're right - I agree.
Stupid question
Fair comment
@TechItEasyCollectiveNo offense
Personally i don't like the look of the s25 ultra so i got the s24 ultra & ill be sticking with that until i no longer receive updates..
Not a bad move at all, enjoy mate!
So it's a downgrade from the S24U
@kherve4255 no
No, get S24 Ultra instead
Honestly your take on the battey lasting was way exaggerated unless u hardly use it through the day..
Honestly I stand by what I said, theres very few days I dont have battery left at the end of the day - With normal usage - of course if you watch a movie or hours and hours of youtube it would be much less, but in general on a normal working day it should take you through the day nice and easy
