With the new Galaxy S25 Ultra in my hand, I stand in the lobby of the LinkedIn building in San Francisco, which happens to be a POPOS: a privately owned public open space. It's a gorgeous hall, with long running panels of blonde wood on the ceiling and back wall.

CR reviews the Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra, noting that the phones offer only modest hardware upgrades and a whole host of new Galaxy AI features.

At Rs 1,29,999, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is one of the most expensive non-foldable phones out there. While it’s a great device, it’s hard not to feel like something’s missing. For this price, you’d expect a standout feature or two, but there’s nothing truly new or game-changing to justify the premium, in terms of hardware at least.
