Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra isn't a bad phone, but it fails to best the competition from practically every angle

The S25, S25 Plus and S25 Ultra feature modest upgrades, but are they enough to justify a big purchase? Here's how the phones stack up against each other, as well as previous Galaxy devices.

All this to say the Galaxy S25 ($800), Galaxy S25+ ($1,000), and Galaxy S25 Ultra ($1,300) are powerful, reliable, and well-equipped smartphones. They're excellent upgrades if you're coming from a three or four-year-old device. They're just not otherwise interesting or exciting.
