Crazy how the mid-range Galaxy A56, A36, and A26 already runs One UI 7, while Samsung's 1 year old flagship (Galaxy S24 Series) still runs One UI 6.1 πŸ’€ https://t.co/wzIEOQqqOr

Fun fact:
I intended to post my Galaxy S25 Ultra full review last week.

But, I ended up posting it two days ago and I forgot to change the title to "3 Weeks" instead of "2 Weeks" πŸ’€

Hope you enjoyed reading it though!πŸ‘€

If you haven't seen it, then what are you waiting for? 😏 https://t.co/b1lmClZ03e

2 Weeks with the Galaxy S25 Ultra:
The Art of Perfecting an Old Formula.

Two weeks. That’s all it took for the Galaxy S25 Ultra to either impress me… or leave me wanting for more.

On paper, this phone might be very familiar to some. But just like with all Samsung phones, it’s the detail that matters the most.

I have been using this phone as my true daily driver, and I have uncovered some very interesting stuff. Some changes are significant, some are subtle, and some might just affect your purchase decision.

Now, grab your popcorn as we dive deep into all of the features, improvements, and shortcomings of Samsung’s latest flagship phone of 2025. 🍿
