The Samsung Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus should be two of the best and most exciting phones of the year — but I barely care about them.

While the S Pen features may be a point of contention for many, there’s still a lot to love about the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The phone includes much of the same hardware as the Galaxy S24 Ultra but with an Improved Galaxy AI and Google Gemini experience, and features One UI 7 at launch.
