imagine being so brainwashed by a company to have to wait 5 years to get the tech other phones offer today

How Samsung is... moreThey have a lot of Marketing tactics and will work with lot of Tech influencers to make S25 series look like the best Android phones money can buy . The sales will be even higher than S24 serious without any meaningful changes.
    Sure S25 series will be great but do we really need the extra power on day to day usage ? It will be mainly be for those who are holding on to buy the S24 series with Larger discounts or want to upgrade from 4 Year old flagships

        Bhaumik Shah, 21 Jan 2025Why are people so obsessed with Camera on their phones ? Wh... moreI am pretty sure 8000mah will be the norm that year and 6000 will feel less

          Why are people so obsessed with Camera on their phones ? What about bigger battery ? If they keep the same 5000mAH cell on the S26 ultra, I am seriously gonna loose it. What is the relevance of the 'Ultra' name when you dont have an 'ultra' level screen size and battery to match the Power ?

          M14 Oled panel for higher brightness and better display life and efficiency
          More battery efficient processor ( since power is already peaked )
          Wider screen ( since it is a note and it is easier to write on Wider screens plus it looks unique and anyways people are gonna use the current ultras with TWO hands )
          At least a 6000 mAH battery cell
          Lesser PWM for lesser eye strain
          Better speakers and microphones

          These are the relevant upgrades that people expect from an ultra level phone from Samsung.

            Samsung has been very bad with upgrading their phones lately, people with s22 ultra say that there is no need to upgrade to newest because cameras is not that much better on newest.

              This is the problem with Apple / Samsung. They have already decided everything 2/3 generations in advance which means they will never leave their comfort zone and produce something cutting edge or truly innovative. Everything will be incremental.
              But on the other hand, we can't blame them because people always want something safe.

                But there will be plenty of rumours that it will come in 2027
                Rinse and repeat.

                              In short S25 is the worst S generation ever. How Samsung is gonna sell it I dunno. AI (which is not even free, but free trial) has it's benefits but also huge privacy drawbacks. And typical Samsung buyers don't care that much about all that Elite speed, it's usually the chinaphones selling point.

                                Eduard33, 21 Jan 2025Absolutely, all the good stuff rumored for the S26. Samsung... moreYeah not worth to buy s24u and s25u.. s26u seems to be quite upgrade especially silic battery might packed with 5.5kmah and periscope lens...I would definitely go for s26u or maybe Sony even im not fan of em much because many other Chinese brands nerfed the phone specs for globals(only some regions get the full complete specs)

                                  Samsung news is already flooding in and we are getting s26 news too smh

                                  Couldn't the s26 stuff wait until after the s25 announcement or something the galaxy spam is crazy

                                    Now will be called "NOTE" again 😂😂😂
                                    It's like with the bezel on the Galaxy Watches:one year is without,next year you get it back
                                    Such a shame for Samsung as they don't bring any new inovations,just new colours,wallpapers,names and bezels!!!

                                      Samsung and 1/1.5 200MP Zoom Sensor You serious 😂😂😂💔

                                      Yeah sure they will use a 200MP telephoto only if it's 1/2.76 and it's name would be HPJ 😃💔

                                        It could also remove the pen and go back to 25W charging and curved screen again. Let's not forget the low end hot and slow lagging exynos. Or it could even go full apple.
