- Is the S25 Ultra worth it over the S24 Ultra?
- Only if you want the faster chip and slightly better ultrawide camera. S24 Ultra owners gain little, and the S24 Ultra is often cheaper.
- How long does the battery last?
- Most owners get a full day of heavy use from the 5,000 mAh battery, and lighter users reach a day and a half.
- Does it come with a charger?
- No. The box has the phone, an S Pen and a USB-C cable. You need your own 45 W charger for the fastest wired charging.
- Is 256 GB enough?
- For most people, yes. If you shoot lots of 200 MP photos or 8K video, the 512 GB model is the safer choice.
- Does the S Pen work without charging?
- Yes. The S Pen draws power from the phone for writing and drawing, but it no longer has Bluetooth, so remote camera and gesture features are gone.
- When is it cheapest?
- Samsung flagships usually drop during Black Friday and when the next Galaxy launches. At $1,099.99 as of November 7, 2026, it is still near launch price.
