Three UK Gets Samsung S25 Galaxy AI: My Totally Honest Review (and a Few Goofs Along the Way!)
Hey everyone! So, Three UK finally got the Samsung Galaxy S25 with its fancy new AI features, and let me tell you, it's been a wild ride. I've been a Three customer for ages, and usually, I'm pretty low-key about new phone releases, but this one? This one had me hyped. I mean, who doesn't love a bit of shiny new tech? Especially when it's got AI baked right in!
First Impressions: Wow and Whoa!
Unboxing the thing was a total thrill. Sleek design, feels amazing in my hand – that's the good stuff. But setting it up? That's where things got a little… bumpy. I totally messed up the initial AI assistant setup. I'm not even sure what I did, but it took me like, three tries and a YouTube tutorial to get the darn thing to work correctly. Lesson learned: read the instructions, people! Even if they are, like, a thousand pages long.
The AI: Is it All it's Cracked Up To Be?
The AI features on this phone are, honestly, pretty impressive. The camera’s AI scene optimizer is killer – my photos look way better than they ever have before. Seriously, check out these comparison shots! (I'll probably add some later, gotta get around to editing them!). I also love the AI-powered text prediction; it learns my writing style and actually helps me write faster. Before, I was struggling to get my thoughts into text fast enough! This makes a massive difference to productivity!
However, I did run into a few hiccups. The AI-powered assistant, Bixby, well, let's just say it still has a ways to go. Sometimes it's spot on, other times? It’s like talking to a confused puppy. I asked it to set a reminder for my dentist appointment, and it set one for a "dentist appointment for a puppy." I nearly missed my appointment, haha!
Pro-Tip: Don't fully rely on the AI assistant for critical tasks, at least not yet. It's still learning, I guess.
Battery Life & Other Bits
Battery life is pretty decent. I’m a heavy user – constantly checking emails, scrolling through social media, etc. I usually get through a full day, sometimes needing a top-up in the evening. This is pretty average for this type of high-powered device.
The processor is lightning fast. Switching between apps, downloading stuff, it's all smooth sailing. No lag, no glitches. This is a big upgrade from my old phone, which was constantly lagging.
Three UK's Service: Thumbs Up!
I have to give it up to Three UK's service this time. The whole order and delivery process was incredibly smooth. No issues whatsoever. I ordered it on a Friday night, and it arrived on Monday morning. Pretty solid, right?
The Verdict: Worth the Hype?
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S25 from Three UK is a solid phone. The AI features are mostly game-changing. Although the AI assistant needs some work, it’s pretty awesome to see how it’s already helping people like me. But there's always room for improvement. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Just be prepared for a bit of a learning curve with the AI features.
