Samsung has always been a top best phone contender and the Galaxy S25 Ultra is no exception. Ever since I got my hands on it at the end of January this year, I've spent most of the year putting it to the test against some of its main rivals, like iPhone 17 Pro Max and Pixel 10 Pro XL.

Rumors about potential hardware upgrades get my attention the most, like how it’s likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 — but then there are the other tips that hint at no change, like its battery capacity.
