What reviewers say

Good

  • Premium, easier-to-hold design
  • S Pen still helps productivity
  • Good battery life for its capacity
  • Smooth, polished One UI
  • Strong cameras overall
  • Charges fast on many chargers and cables
  • Thinner and lighter, more comfortable

Not so good

  • Only IP68
  • S Pen dropped Bluetooth features like remote shutter
  • Battery and charging not upgraded
  • No Dolby Vision on the screen
  • Chip may lag rivals under long heavy loads
  • Weaker low-light photos
  • S Pen lost Bluetooth and feels hollow
  • GSMArenaRecommendedJan 2025

    Capable, well-rounded flagship that falls short of a true no-compromise Ultra; the cheaper S24 Ultra was a strong alternative.

  • BeebomRecommendedFeb 2025

    Still the top Android all-rounder, mainly a worthwhile upgrade for existing Ultra owners.

  • FoneArenaRecommendedMar 2025

    Excels across the board and is a strong choice for power users, photographers and gamers.

  • Smartprix85/100Feb 2025

    A refinement rather than a reinvention, but still one of the most complete flagships.

  • Tom's GuideRecommendedSep 2025

    Editor's Choice; called the best Android phone the reviewer had tested thanks to AI, screen, cameras and battery.

  • Strong phone that aged well through 2025; best bought on discount.

  • Digital TrendsRecommendedFeb 2025

    A powerhouse with great screen and battery, but the extras don't fully justify the high price; still recommended.

  • Notebookcheck89/100Feb 2025

    Small hardware changes, but the package is coherent enough to set the Android benchmark for 2025.

What owners say

Owners like

  • Body and Gorilla Armor screen stay largely scratch-free after a year
  • Anti-reflective screen is easy to read outdoors
  • Feels light for its size; software rich and updated on time (One UI 8 arrived early and smoothly)
  • Speakers sound full for a phone
  • Store user ratings are high overall (4.6/5 on MySmartPrice)

Common complaints

  • Battery drain after updates: Indian owners reported fast drain after One UI 8 (Oct 2025) and after a beta (Dec 2025); owners again reported drain, overheating and slower charging after the July 2026 update, which Samsung had not acknowledged
  • Some owners feel the 5,000mAh battery and 45W charging are behind rivals
  • Screen uses PWM dimming that bothers flicker-sensitive users
  • Ultrasonic fingerprint reader can be unreliable, worse with dry skin or a screen protector
  • Oleophobic coating wears and the screen attracts fingerprints after months
  • Recurring forum complaints about heating and camera processing

On Samsung Community India, moderators answered battery complaints with generic tips (device optimisation, factory reset) and asked for error logs via Samsung Members; no fix was acknowledged in those threads.

From: Samsung Community India (One UI 8 battery drain thread), Samsung Members India beta board (battery drain and heating), Android Central (one year later, notes Reddit/forum complaints), PhoneArena (one year of use), Notebookcheck (owner reports after July 2026 update), Tech Advisor (owner reports after July 2026 update), MySmartPrice user ratings (4.6/5 from 4,179 ratings)
