The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is a worthwhile option for those who value its 6.9-inch display, 5x zoom lens, and integrated S Pen stylus.

Samsung calls this phone Ultra because everything is supposed to be ultra. But the regular S25 and S25 Plus have a lot of its best specs and features and cost much less.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is another incremental update to a design growing stale. There is a meaningful change here, but you'll need to hold it.
