The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra does all of the things you want from a high-end smartphone, but its redesign annoys me.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite chip in the Galaxy S25 Ultra is capable of satellite connectivity. The S25 phones are the first Android devices to support Qualcomm's Snapdragon Satellite connectivity feature, but there's a catch. While the S25 Ultra is capable of sending messages via satellite, only Verizon users will be able to make use of this feature.
