After days of real-world use, the Galaxy S25 Ultra impresses with its improved battery, intuitive AI, and enhanced camera features, suggesting Samsung is prioritizing quality over hype.

In my recent Samsung Galaxy buying guide video, I suggested that the Galaxy S25 Ultra might not be the optimal choice for all users. While the S24 Ultra and even the S23 Ultra remain compelling options from a value perspective, the Galaxy S25 Plus presents a compelling alternative. After a week of initial use, I share my first impressions.

I've been spending more time with this phone recently, and there's definitely more to unpack than just the surface-level stuff.

Recently I was tasked with finding a solid webcam setup without breaking the bank. Definitely a tricky one! I managed to unearth a few gems, and so I put them to the test. 

We're constantly seeing these top-of-the-line phones, the ones with all the bells and whistles, and they come with a hefty price tag. You start to wonder, "do I really need to spend that much to get a good phone?" Well, Samsung's new Galaxy A56 5G is making a bold claim: you don't. But does it live up to the hype?
