It's Not Free Yet, But the Galaxy S25 Ultra Is at a New Record Low That Will Skyrocket Its Sales
See at Amazon
Under the hood, the Galaxy S25 Ultra runs on the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Elite processor (from Qualcomm) which means everything from gaming to multitasking runs super smoothly. 256GB of storage provides you with well over enough space to hold all your photos and videos without ever lacking a little space anywhere down the line. The massive 5000mAh battery lasts a hectic day with ease. And with fast charging, you can get up to speed in a hurry so that you don't miss a beat keeping on the go without an extended break.
And let's talk of the camera configuration — this phone carries some serious firepower: There's a gigantic 200MP main sensor that captures ultra-high-res and highly detailed images. Along with that, there's a 12MP ultra-wide sensor to capture wide landscapes and group shots and two 10MP telephoto sensors that provide up to 10x optical zoom. With AI-powered night mode, your night photographs come out bright and clear, adjusting settings for you so you have to do nothing.
The included S Pen is a game changer that lets you sketch or edit your images with precision right on your phone. It's bringing so much creativity and productivity along with it, particularly if you like the finer control without constantly needing to switch gears.
Samsung's One UI operating system (on top of the Android OS) further boosts the smooth experience with plenty of customization and smooth navigation. The phone features 5G connectivity, where you can make the most out of fast internet speeds where networks exist which is perfect if you are in search of a phone that will keep up for several years.
Made to last and appear great, the S25 Ultra features a smart titanium black color and premium finish. The rich AMOLED display brings life-like colors and deep blacks with the silky smooth 120Hz refresh rate for scrolling and gaming. And with the IP68 rating, it resists dust and water well so you can forget about spills or harsh environments.
At this new record low price, it's a no-brainer if you're looking for a premium Android phone.

You can now swap Gemini for a new assistant on Android, but you really shouldn't
Tushar Mehta / Android Authority TL;DR You can now replace Google Assistant or Gemini on any Android device with Meta AI as the default digital assistant app. This lets you launch Meta AI directly by long-pressing the home button or swiping inwards from the corner. However, beware that you can't use it for voice chat, which can be limiting compared to other options. Meta has been bullish on overtaking Google, OpenAI, xAI, and other tech giants as a major AI services provider. Taking advantage of the massive pool of users on its apps, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, Meta has been giving them a taste of AI for free through these apps. The features are also available in a dedicated 'Meta AI' app on Android, which you can now assign as the default digital assistant on your phone. We recently spotted the ability to replace Google Assistant or Gemini with Meta AI as the default digital assistant on Android devices. This feature was seemingly added to version 230.0.0.36.164 of the Meta AI app on Android. Once set as the default, it can be invoked by long-pressing the power button (if you have that setting enabled on your phone). Alternatively, you can tap and hold the home button if you use the three-button navigation system, or swipe inwards from one of the bottom corners if you use gesture navigation. AssembleDebug / Android Authority Once you download the app and set it up with your existing Facebook or Instagram accounts (or create a new one), you can head to Settings > Apps > Default apps > Digital assistant. Here, you can choose Meta AI as the default assistant. It's possible that these settings slightly vary on different Android skins. So, you can also look up 'default digital assistant' using the search bar in your phone's Settings app. While the added option gives you the ability to choose Meat AI as the digital assistant, there are a few limitations you should know of. Firstly, the gesture only opens the app, which is equivalent to tapping the app's icon. When it loads, it does not open up to an interface where you can simply start typing or interacting by voice, so launching it directly does not eliminate that extra step. Secondly, the Meta AI app does not inherently support voice input, though you could use the keyboard's voice typing functionality. This can feel limiting compared to other digital assistant apps supported on Android, including Google Assistant, Gemini, Amazon's Alexa, or even ChatGPT. Despite limited incentive to use Meta AI as the default assistant, there are certain benefits to using the Meta AI app on your phone. It lets you compose write-ups and generate photos and videos with text prompts. You can even use funky effects to create Reels that can be uploaded to your Instagram and Facebook accounts or shared via WhatsApp. The app also gets a public feed, which you can use as an inspiration for trying out new ideas or generating content. However, these features are also directly available within Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, and you may be better off using the features there. So, the only reason to download the dedicated app may be hygiene — to keep your AI manifestations in a separate app. Follow

I shot 200+ photos with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra — here's the winner
Picking between the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy S25 Ultra would be a difficult decision for anyone with the option to buy either. And a likely deciding factor could be how these two very expensive phones perform when it comes to taking photos. While the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has the same number of cameras as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, and shares some of the same sensors, the position and type of cameras used differ significantly. The practical difference here isn't obvious, unlike pricing, battery life and, of course, the foldability of these two devices. After hundreds of photos and detailed analysis, I've got some interesting comparisons between the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy S25 Ultra cameras. You wouldn't have expected the two best Samsung phones to be so different, and yet you're about to see just how far these two phones diverge in image quality as well as form factor. Both of these phones can take up to 200MP photos with their main cameras, but this shot of a tree and a path is set at the default 12MP resolution, the one you'll want to stick with for most of your photos. It was a bright and sunny day when I headed out to capture these photos, and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 clearly shows that off. It's less obvious from the Galaxy S25 Ultra's image, which has attempted to balance the light level throughout the image. The result is less dramatic shadows, but enhanced detail from Samsung's non-folding flagship. The impact of the Galaxy Z Fold 7's lower-res 12MP sensor is visible in this photo of a converted stablehouse though it's not evident in terms of detail. Rather, it's a matter of lower light levels. The pixel-binned 50MP ultrawide camera of the S25 Ultra creates a much brighter image. The S25 Ultra's shot also gives better HDR, which is especially visible in the brighter portions of the clock tower on top of the building. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In the first of our zoom comparisons, we look across a park at the old mansion house at its center. Both phones have a dedicated 3x 10MP telephoto camera, so that's what we're using here. The image taken by the Galaxy S25 Ultra is brighter, with better HDR overall. However, I do like the Z Fold 7's higher level of detail on the building itself. Here, the Galaxy S25 Ultra's second telephoto camera can flex its muscles, while the Z Fold 7 has to rely on digital zoom from its 3x camera. Understandably, the Z Fold 7's image is on the darker side, and is less detailed to boot. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 Ultra deals with this zoom level with no problem at all, and can even shoot at up to 50MP at this level if you want it to. In our final zoom comparison, we see just how soft the Galaxy Z Fold 7's image has become at its highest magnification level — a 30x zoom. You can still make out the main details of the roof and chimneys of the mansion, and there's still a reasonable amount of color to appreciate too. But the S25 Ultra's able to handle this zoom level far more competently, thanks to its higher optical magnification and higher resolution sensor. 30x is the highest you can zoom in with the Z Fold 7. But as a bonus, here is the S25 Ultra's 100x zoom maximum for the same shot. It's a bit muddy, but you can still understand what is in the image. Looking over these formal gardens, we have perhaps the closest comparison between the two phones so far. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is slightly brighter overall, while the S25 Ultra has given us a darker, shadow-ier look. I like both photos, but they are subtly different. The microfoam on top of this coffee can help us see the HDR capabilities of these two phones — their ability to balance extreme light and dark in the same image. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 doesn't do a bad job, showing the dark bubbles in the coffee clearly, but in doing so, it has to sacrifice some detail from the white of the latte art. On the S25 Ultra shot, we can see the glossy sheen of the frothed milk that is present in real life, although perhaps too aggressively for some people's liking. Approaching subjects, such as this flower, activates both phones' macro modes, uses the ultrawide lens on either phone to allow you to get in close to grab all those details. In the Galaxy S25 Ultra's image, we can see more of the veins in the petals, but it's also a bit dark in places. It's the opposite on the Z Fold 7's version, which is brighter overall. Using the front-facing cameras — in the case of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, that's the 10MP camera on the phone's cover — I tried a pair of portrait mode selfies. Both phones do a fine job with the bokeh effect, but the Galaxy S25 Ultra's image gives me a warmer skin tone, compared to a less exaggerated one on the Z Fold 7. The last shot in this comparison takes us back to the main cameras, and a shot of a wooden die on a table in a darkened room. The grain of the wood appears in much sharper relief on the S25 Ultra shot. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 flattens a lot of the detail in the die, even if it gets the color of the image mostly the same. Now that we've been through all these different scenarios, we can see how differently these two Samsung phones interpret what you put in front of the lens. That said, the only real place the Galaxy Z Fold 7 lags behind compared to the Galaxy S25 Ultra is on telephoto performance above 3x magnification. Granted, the Galaxy S25 Ultra demonstrates superior HDR and better light control across multiple shot types, which keeps it in the top spot on our best camera phones guide. But I think the Z Fold 7's performance is good enough for someone with a generous budget weighing up Samsung's best foldable phone and best slab phone not to regret picking the Z Fold over the Galaxy S Ultra.
