With the release of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, prices on the outgoing Galaxy S24 Ultra have started to drop. Your cost will depend on your chosen model and whether you’re comfortable with a renewed smartphone.

Whether its downgrades to the S Pen, minimal extra hardware, or software that could easily come to older phones in the near future, the Galaxy S25 Ultra doesn’t really seem to have a unique selling point. Worse still the rounded design means that it’s lost its visual distinctiveness compared to other phones.

It's been about a week since the Galaxy S25 Ultra arrived, and since then, I've learned quite a bit more about Samsung's latest flagship smartphone.
