Remember when I wrote about my Galaxy Flip 4 basically riding off into the sunset? I’ve had it for nearly 3 years and it’s been showing its age lately. The whole thing started shutting off when I closed the phone and earlier this week, it wouldn’t even turn back on no matter how hard I pressed the power button.
As a replacement, I’ve been debating between the Flip 6 or the Motorola Razr (also a flip phone) but as you know, there’s always a secret third option! Ladies and gentlemen, I decided to gamble on a new phone– which is ironic because I will not be gambling on a new phone. How could I do any sports betting after I made this colossal mistake??
Verizon made me a too-good-to-be-true offer so for the last few days I’ve been learning about my new phone… the Samsung S25 Ultra!! Even though it’s not even been a week yet, I LOVE IT. There are 2 aspects that drew (pun intended) me in. One, the s-pen. Yes, the phone comes with a stylus built in. I love having a tool to draw on the screen with, which leads to the second awesome thing… it creates AI images from my terrible sketches. This thrills me more than I can even say.
When I was young, I loved to draw. My skills plateaued, though, somewhere between a stick figure and pretty bad portrait of a dog or a cat or whatever animals I was trying to draw. But with the Galaxy AI drawing assistant, my average drawings get a boost of awesomeness. For instance, let’s say I want to draw a zebra in honor of Ed the Zebra, the star from Nashville, Tennessee. Here’s how I drew him in the phone’s sketch pad…
And here’s how AI sprinkled some (a lot) artistry into it.
It’s part of the phone that I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of. Plus, the phone itself has very noticeable square edges, a physical feature I’ve liked ever since I saw the Sony Xperia phones (but never got a Sony because of carrier issues). So I’m a happy camper.
Does anyone else out there have the S25 Ultra? What are your pros and cons with any version of the S25? Chime in below and please subscribe so you get notified when I post…
