Who it suits
The best Android phone
TechRadar's best Android phone, at 4.75 out of 5. All three reviews single out Samsung's Privacy Display, and CNET and Tom's Guide its battery life; CNET's lab found it the fastest wired charger of the 33 phones it tested.
Where it falls down. All three note there are no magnets built in for magnetic wireless charging. TechRadar calls it an iterative update, CNET notes many of the same specs as the S25 Ultra, and Tom's Guide calls the camera bump ginormous. It lists at $1,399.99, about $100 more than the iPhone 18 Pro Max.
