The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra didn’t introduce major improvements, but the ones it did were quality-of-life upgrades. The improved Gorilla Armor 2, some useful Galaxy AI features (like AI Select), and an efficient processor are a few examples. I still don’t like the fact that my S Pen can’t be used to click photos or Samsung is still sticking to an aging telephoto camera, but if you’re looking for a no-nonsense phone, this might be it.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra might not please smartphone enthusiasts, but after using it for a few months, I can say it’s definitely a reliable phone. I was skeptical about its battery life but it easily lasts an entire day on moderate use. The combination of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset and One UI 7 keep it snappy as ever, while you still get the versatility of zoom and ultrawide cameras.
In my day-to-day usage, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has been a reliable phone, and it’s an easier recommendation at the current $999 sale price. It can be purchased for as low as $969 from another official listing. There’s not much to fault at that price for people who want an Android phone.
Based upon the 23-25% off savings being offered, ZDNET’s rating system gives this a 3/5 Editor’s deal rating. This is the lowest offer we’ve seen since the launch of this Samsung flagship. The Galaxy S25 Ultra was recently available for the same $1,000 offer price during Memorial Day sales. This price matches the discount we saw earlier. We don’t know for how long it’ll remain live, though.
