An obvious S25 Ultra benefit is the handset's built-in stylus, known as the S Pen, which is a real point of distinction for this device, which many favour. Google offers no official stylus compatibility – not to a complex pressure-sensitive degree, anyway.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra was the best Android could muster in early 2025, but now the Pixel 10 Pro has arrived. But which device should you buy?

As for colors, Samsung has more options than Google. The Galaxy S25 comes in seven colors: Navy, Mint, Icy Blue, Silver Shadow, Blueblack, Coralred, and Pinkgold. It should be noted that the latter three options are online exclusives. As for Pixel 10, you just get four choices: Indigo, Frost, Lemongrass, and Obsidian.
