Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Review by Mark Knapp
"The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is incredibly versatile, elegant, and powerful. However, despite its advancements and premium price point, it sometimes falls short of expectations in areas like display innovation and sustained performance. While technically impressive, the cameras lack a certain character. Samsung aimed for near-perfection; it achieved greatness."
