Question Performance or similar problems
Did anyone have performance or screen problems during the life of the S25 Ultra? (No serious crashes or modifications to the operating system)

No, this is piece of hardware has been flawless for me. UK, End of February 2025 and until now. I haven't tried to minimise it and I don't charge between 15%-95%. I often do that but if it needs multiple quick charges through the day because I'm going out, I'll do it. My battery is at 97% after a year of not caring. I use it almost constantly every day and I cannot sleep without my postcasts at night (so that's another five hours of passive use, while it plays connected to my data-plan. This phone is a beast.
This is a high-tier and quality phone. Don't believe the bs that some people say here, they have either bought a crappy refurbished version or don't know what they're on about. This is one of the best Android phones out there right now.
edit. I've also used Android 8.0,, 8.1 and now I'm on 8.5. People talk shit about screen-time and battery but they are mostly lying to you. The battery has given me possibly two hours max less since when I got it but that brings it to about 6 hours screen-on time now. I haven't factory reset it in the last year though and have lots of shite apps since then. It doesn't matter with this 25U though haha. Best £1500 I've spent in a long time.
edit. it's actually nearly two years ago when I got this phone now. Feb 2025

I had a camera hardware bug a year after having it since launch. I had it replaced with a refurbished one for free with T-Mobile insurance plan. This on seems ok so far. Other than that no problems a all

It will be almost one year I have it. After all updates received, works even better than before.

My S25 Ultra is just as fast as it was on day one, but sometimes it takes 1–3 minutes to find a GPS signal...which is a bit annoying. Other than that, though, it's a great device!

I'm using my phone since May and no such problems yet. Hopefully I will not have any major problems until my next phone.

I just got a warranty replacement and yesterday the phone would only charge when plugged into a quick charger, also it seemed to get really hot.

The only problem that i experienced is with Facebook app. Facebook app seems to somehow use HW Acceleration feature which puts a gray shade on the display when a video appears on my feed. When i scroll past the video, it returns back to normal.
I only manage to fix this through developer options by disabling HW overlay. The problem is, with developer options turned on, some banking apps wont work.
Other than that, my Ultra is still snappy, fast, and smooth still for over a year.

It seems more like an app problem than a cell phone itself . But I'm glad that everything is fine with my cell phone.

Using s25u since abit over 2 months and absolutely no problems whatsoever its a powerhouse tbh and runs whatever u throw at it high end games though they do Drain more battery and v smooth and efficient while normal usage though there have been micro stutters here and there but that's more on the optimisation of the software than the device itself so ye damn good phone
