Since I had been writing 15 days in a row about my beagle passing away, I thought today would be a good one for a more light-hearted post. And since my phone is still new to me, why not share how it’s been going since I dropped the Flip 4 and began anew with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Just like you, probably, after I got the phone I continued watching Youtube videos about all the functions of the phone and how it compares to other “flagship” phones out there, most notably the iPhone 16.
Honestly, I don’t care much how it stacks up against iPhone because I’ll never be convinced to switch to an Apple phone. But with that said, it’s nice to see a lot of people out there appreciate the S25 Ultra and rate it higher than the iPhone. Still though, that doesn’t matter as much as personal experience. It’s like someone saying they’re a… oh, I don’t know… a Florida State Seminoles football fan because they watch them on TV. But a personal experience with FSU matters more than what’s on the television. And yes, I’m still very bitter about FSU and will go through the upcoming football season not cheering for them (except against Alabama because, well, it’s Alabama).
But back to the point of this post. Am I loving the S25 Ultra or has the honeymoon phase vanished? Yes and no. Yes, I love it and no, the honeymoon phase hasn’t ended. The phone is awesome. I love the AI images I can create (the one above and the one below), the lenses on the front look good on top of taking great photos and videos, the screens and apps and overall look is very customizable, and simply put, it’s the best phone I’ve ever had. I’m a happy camper.
I also added a fun case for it, too. I loved the offerings from Torras so much that now I have 3 cases from them. Inexpensive and they really won me over with the multi-colored button covers. Take a look here for cases fitting Samsung and Apple phones. They are really cool and make my phone experience even more fun.
Of course, I’m still of the mindset that the less screen time I have, the better it is for my overall quality of life but it’s still nice to have a device that works for me when I need it and it’s just a fun piece of tech to have and to look at.
