Overall, iFixit says the Galaxy S25 Ultra is "one of the most repair-friendly Galaxy phones" they have come across in a decade. Still, the phone only gets a provisional repairability score of five out of 10. While that's better than previous flagship Samsung phones, it pales compared to the iPhone 16 Pro lineup.

The Galaxy S25 Plus is a tougher sell given how it shares the same set of Galaxy AI features and cameras found on the cheaper S25 model. It's a powerful, big-screen phone, but it's hampered by a dimmer display and modest battery life improvements over its predecessor.
