When I experienced the Galaxy S25 Ultra in person, the difference was striking. What immediately impressed me was its significantly lighter build. The subtler, rounded corners made it comfortable to hold, a stark contrast to the S23 Ultra's sharper edges. It also slipped into my pocket with ease, a welcome change from my Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Galaxy Watch Ultra: $325 off w/ trade-in @ Samsung Samsung’s flagship smartwatch is reduced to under $500 with this deal. It’s the cheapest we’ve ever seen the watch, which has a sportier and more durable design than the Galaxy Watch 7 and is one of the best smartwatches for tracking your activity available.

My Galaxy S25 Ultra came loaded with all the bells and whistles, but felt a bit impersonal right out of the box. After making these six tweaks, though, it’s now set up to my liking. I appreciate the expanded grid design of the quick panel—it's nice to have more toggles in a larger layout.
