In total, shoppers will pay £1347 with the data and the freebies included. When users compare it to the £1249 price tag on Samsung, it's a fairly good offer with the free tablet, data and other extras, reports the Express.

Tech critics at The Daily Express nearly awarded the S25 Ultra a high score when reviewing the model. Tech editor David Snelling said: "Samsung has done it again and produced another spectacularly good smartphone. The Galaxy S25 Ultra looks great, features a stunning 6.9-inch screen, a brilliant camera, long battery life, and that supremely quick Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. "It also gets all of those Galaxy AI upgrades that can organise your life, retouch your photos, chat to you like a human and bring live football scores straight to the home screen." Nonetheless, not every aspect of the device was met with adoration by David, who commented: "It's all clever stuff, but for some, it might just be a bit too smart. "There's so much Artificial Intelligence now included it can all feel slightly overwhelming, and only power users (and true AI geeks) are going to get close to scratching the surface of what this device can really do. "That doesn't make this a bad phone. In fact, it's a very good phone. It just feels like all of Samsung's development is going into the software rather than boosting the hardware. Perhaps the AI boom for smartphones is because there's nothing else manufacturers can add or improve. You might ask yourself why you need a new phone at all - they say AI is the answer. "If the brilliant S24 Ultra gets the S25's Galaxy AI upgrades - and the price continues to fall due to its age - that might also be a better bet."

‘Sometimes getting into high-speed chases with y'all is fun:' Teen's eluding investigated weeks after similar incident
ARVADA, Colo. (KDVR) — A high-speed crash in Arvada on Tuesday has investigators wanting to crack down on drivers trying to elude law enforcement. Wadsworth Boulevard is a major thoroughfare for the metro, and Arvada police say it's also a hot spot for overnight speeders. Memorial Day travel expected to break 20-year record 'The amount of vehicles that go through there on a daily basis is in the tens of thousands,' said David Snelling with the Arvada Police Department. The crash in question happened around 3:40 a.m. on Tuesday. The 18-year-old driver was seen speeding down Wadsworth before a patrolling officer saw him and turned on his emergency lights. The driver then allegedly increased his speed, which led to the crash at 68th and Wadsworth. The driver crashed into an air station and a light pole at the gas station there. 'There was nobody at the gas station, there were not many cars on the road. So, very luckily for the driver and for anybody that may have been there, he didn't crash into anybody,' Snelling said. The driver told police he was driving anywhere from 60 to 80 mph in the 45 mph zone. Investigating officers were able to determine he had eluded police in Jefferson County less than a month about and was out on a Personal Recognizance bond. There were three other people in the vehicle who weren't charged and did not sustain any major injuries. The arrest affidavit from this recent incident shows the suspect told the officer on scene unprompted, 'Sometimes getting into high-speed chases with y'all is fun. It's a bad habit and I need to grow the f**** up.' The driver admitted to consuming weed and alcohol before getting behind the wheel. He was charged with eluding, DUI and reckless driving. Missing Aurora man's truck found in Broomfield with dog inside 'It's deeply concerning when an individual has displayed that they haven't learned and then that they are out on a bond,' Snelling said. 'Every case is very independent and it's not an easy decision and I know that there's a lot in the system when it comes to caseloads and things like that, but when we are talking about people's lives on a daily basis, people not taking it seriously that drinking and driving and speeding could cause somebody's death, think something may need to be adjusted.' Incidents like this are why Arvada police say they're working on increased traffic and DUI enforcement, though manpower is a hiccup in that plan, as they are still working on their 18% down officers' number. APD says it will have more officers out over the Memorial Day weekend, specifically along Wadsworth here, looking for intoxicated drivers and those driving recklessly.
