The small Galaxy S25 surprised me, but not enough to ditch my S24 Ultra for good

Since I got my Nexus 6 in 2015, I’ve loved big phones, always choosing the larger version of whatever I buy. After moving back to Samsung in 2019, I’ve owned the Galaxy S10 Plus and every Ultra phone in the S series until the S24 Ultra. I had planned to do the same with the Galaxy S25 series but decided that not enough had changed to warrant the upgrade. I also wanted to try something small and comfortable. So when I got to spend some time with the smallest Galaxy S25, I jumped at the opportunity. Can this pocket-sized phone win me over from the “phablets” I’ve used for over a decade?
