"And it has slightly smaller bezels, too."

"big improvement for this generation is now you have a larger cover screen. It's going up to 4.1 in... And it just makes such a nice difference"

"the bezels are even thinner on this model... which is the thinnest on any Galaxy smartphone to date."

Mixed

[+] Praised

"the s25 ultra which probably has the most changes out of the new lineup"

"actually has the same overall footprint so that's really nice slightly bigger screen same size phone more or less"

"for Global users that's actually really good because that Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip is going to be standard for the entire world"

[-] Criticised

"for Ultra... that is one kind of big change we're seeing for this generation"

"although not quite as impressive now that phones like the OnePlus 13 exist"

"the sensors are actually staying the same and that's a bit of a bummer to me"
