28 August 2024
And all the other "Ultra" flagships coming soon.

Anonymous, 29 Aug 2024They also use 8-bit panels even in their highest phoneyeah and nearly no reviewer is tech savvy enough to see the downsides of it and think that they know everything they have when it comes to phones and that their opinion matters the most. If someone even dares to call it out reviewers/fanboys attack you, I think it's unfair and anti-consumer. But if customers themselves like anti-consumer practices, what'll you do?

      Haidy, 29 Aug 2024Samsung won't suppprt DV.yes because Scamsung is cheap and wants to push its dumb HDR10+ which nearly no one uses and thinks they can compete with DV which is the industry standard. They don't pay huge film to implement HDR10+ but somehow think it should be the standard/be a real reason to get their TVs/ phones. It's not. Why can't they follow in Panasonic's footsteps? Provide all the hdr standards. I just can't with Scamsung anymore.

          I am using rog phone 7 which weight about 250 gr without issue. I'd rather have bigger battery and fast charging rather than thin phone.

                      Still no solid state battery, or graphite, or any others tech that do age "well", have lot of battery recharge cycles and not prone to burning you. some chinese phone started solid state battery. Samsung working on graphene... battery for a long time... Are they waiting on apple to then propose it........

                            Samsung always get the basics wrong, most ultra users do not have a problem with the weight but Cameras & Battery life and would gladly trade designs and weight for Extra Battery Life. The same 5000Mah has been on the fone since S21Ultra, seriously it should have a minimum 5500Mah to be an ultra now, even budget Samsung fones get 6000Mah as most Ultra competitors, so why does the s25Ultra still have the same battery after 5 years of the same, typical Samsung never listens to what the customer wants. Most ultra users wants max battery with the cameras, not some minor designs and reduce a little weight here and there cosmetically! Bring back a 6000Mah and 50MP 10X Optical zoom if Samsung wants to be the king of the op end Ultra fones, otherwise Im just keeping my S24 Ultras, so sick of the minor iterations, Samsung is just copycat of Apple to try and milk the customer year after year they would claimed is the the Best Iphone to date.... by a TINY bit lol.

                              The square edges are a bit uncomfortable to hold but I'd argue that's what gives it the “ultra” feel. If not, it will feel like just another Vivo or Xiaomi or any other OEM that only knows how to buy components and assemble phones.

                                    Xperia 5 v got rid of 3rd camera because Qi coil took its space , you ask smaller phone to use 1/1.3" main and 1/1.5" super wide?
