I've used Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra for a week now and have been enjoying its design refinements, updates like a new higher-resolution ultrawide camera and lots of AI.

I've been using Samsung's new Galaxy S25 Ultra for a couple of days, and I have a confession to make. For years, my absolute favorite ultrawide camera found on any phone was on Samsung Galaxy S models, and the new version on the S25 Ultra is even better. When the Galaxy S10 series dropped in 2019, I couldn't take enough photos with Samsung's first ultrawide camera. Was it perfect?

We've all been there: I'm on an evening flight and someone pulls out their phone and lights up the cabin like a Broadway musical. My eyes sting, I blink, I become annoyed and I start having an internal debate about whether to go all Larry David on the poor sap and their phone -- which apparently has a screen that glows brighter than the sun. Those kinds of events might be in my traveling past.

My eyes sting, I blink, I become annoyed and I start having an internal debate about whether to go all Larry David on the poor sap and their phone -- which apparently has a screen that's lit up brighter than the sun. Those kinds of events might be in my past. At last, Apple has come to the rescue by lowering the minimum brightness across all the displays on its iPhone 16 series.
