Nothing new with Samsung always late in innovation playing catchup as far as hardware goes, they are just so behind the Chinese in terms of hardware's battery and camera is almost like they could not care less until its too late when sales falls to the bottom like their Fold series now generations behind the Chinese and Oneplus Open2 will just kill Z Fold 7, DOA sales before its even released lol.

    LOL a good joke really.

    If Samsung decides on using it, then it will most likely make it to the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is going to be released next year and might be called S26 Note. That would, in theory, make Samsung's 2026 flagship smartphone on par, in this regard, with vivo's flagship for the earlier part of 2024. Still, you know how the saying goes - better late than never.

    At first Samsung were never on par with chinese flagships.
    Yes samsung gave more updates than chinese flagaships but it does not matter since they did not add more warranty just same single one year outside of EU countries and region and 2 years inside.
    But apart the updates said Vivo, or any other chinese flagship like Oneplus, or Xiaomi Ultra model etc made 1000% better specced device than Samsung and way less cheaper.
    Even if it wasnt actually cheaper chinese flagships had far more and far better specs.
    We really cant compare samsung to chinese flagships.
    Actually the only flagship which is worse than Samsung is google pixel phone with Tensor chips. Apart that even realme give better devices.

          Faster charging, better screen tech, increase in battery capacity and a much needed telephoto upgrade. The S25 ultra will feel like scam if this is all true.
