Galaxy S25 Ultra was criticized for its durability in the latest test.
Samsung 's newly launched high-end smartphone Galaxy S25 Ultra has received mixed reviews, especially regarding its durability. Test results from YouTube channel JerryRigEverything show that the device has many unfortunate shortcomings compared to its predecessor.
The most notable feature is the camera ring on the back. Instead of being attached to the body, they can be easily removed with a sharp tool. JerryRigEverything commented that they look like "false eyelashes" glued on, raising concerns about durability and the possibility of dirt accumulation.

Another minus point is that the Samsung logo on the back is skewed, showing carelessness in the manufacturing process. Although it does not affect the function, this detail disappoints many users, especially on a high-end product.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra's display also scored lower in terms of scratch resistance than the Galaxy S24 Ultra. In our testing, the display started showing scratches at a 6 on the Mohs hardness scale, with deeper scratches at a 7. This suggests that Samsung may have reduced the hardness of the Gorilla Armor 2 glass, making it more vulnerable.

Samsung's removal of Bluetooth connectivity from the S Pen also raises questions. This means losing some convenient features, such as the ability to take photos remotely.
Despite its shortcomings in durability, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is still highly regarded for its performance thanks to its powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and advanced Galaxy AI features.
Overall, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is a powerful smartphone with many advanced technologies. However, the "sacrifices" in durability and some design flaws have disappointed many users.
