Just bought the S25 upgrading from the S20 fe, I am disappointed, the camera seems exactly the same & the speaker quality is way worse, also the camera location is not good for holding on the smaller phone.
Five stars all the way. Its taken some hits and without a case, a forgot it on the hood of my truck. It stayed up there till I hit about 60 mph. Went around a curve, it slid directly off on the pavement, rolled a bunch, got ran over by the car behind me, and im still here posting this comment. If youre looking for a solid phone, look no further. It didnt even chip the screen. I do construction work for a living and this phone has went through it all.
Olajoy , 01 Feb 2026Go for the S25. You would love itAbsolutely
I've found out a great experience from the use of Samsung Galaxy products and I will like to derive a bigger joy from Samsung Galaxy S25

Have no idea why none of reviews warned that the camera is significantly worse than S21 and worse than S10 (in most cases, in direct sunlight s25 can be comparable or maybe little bit better).
You can search my sample photos on Samsung Community in topic S25 Ultra Blurry Photos.
I set this thing screen-down ONCE on accident and the screen is scratched up. Furious. Otherwise wonderful little phone, I used to have an a54. Notable performance increase!

Ryan47, 19 Apr 2025I have this phone and it's very good in everything except the camera,it's mediocre.I... morei couldn't agree more. I own a 3 years old Pixel 7 and never thought that such an expensive flagship in 2025 could have such an outdated camera processing. Samsung needs to fix the software to be on par with other competitors at least for the main camera to be able to take normal looking photos at least during the day which is not happening right now. So much information is missing due to weird out of focus areas, blurriness around the edges and on distant objects.
It's clear that something is wrong with the standard camera app as once you try Expert Raw even with default settings and same 12MP resolution everything is in focus and even the finest details are preserved.

Oh Samsung, come on!!!
I have had galaxy phones for over 15 years and always liked them. I have had various models including Syy ones and always liked them. Though I usually buy direct from my provider (ee), I have previously purchased one direct from Samsung and it was fine, so I don't believe they are just holding the duds to be sent to customers who buy direct.
So this makes me think that the S25 is just a terrible phone.
The battery is so poor an hour of use and it is nearly dead.
I have had my previous Samsung phone for years and it's battery still outperforms the S25.
The connectivity is much worse, and I have not changed my provider or plan. My old phone could happily stream anything using data. This one keeps stopping and circling.
It doesn't display websites or apps properly, with things going off the edge of the screen, that cannot be scrolled back to.
Even the camera works less well.
I have yet to find a single redeeming feature and would advise people to avoid buying one at all costs.
They are too expensive to just put out junk. I can't trust Samsung again after this. It is such a shame.
I haven't had an apple phone since the early 2000s but maybe it is time to revert back if Samsung can no longer be relied upon.
Such a shame
