My biggest gripe about modern smartphones is that they’re too complex. This was true before the chatbots became The New Thing, but generative AI has only accelerated the problem. Samsung is first out of the blocks with its solution: a repurposed Bixby on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

When you trade in your old phone with T-Mobile, you'll get it for free. New and existing customers can swap an old device in any condition for a new Galaxy S25+ for free, or use the credit for up to $1,000 off other models like the top-of-the-line Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (delivered as 24 monthly credits on your bill).

In its Geekbench 6 CPU benchmark results, the Galaxy S25 Ultra achieved an impressive single-core score of 3106, putting it well ahead of the S24 Ultra, which scored 2136. Admittedly, its single-core score did not beat the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which still leads at 3429, however, the S25 Ultra's multi-core scores are another matter entirely.
