Anonymous, 2 hours ago1449€ in germany for 512 GB and 12 GB RamIf you want to buy it, check Vodafone contracts at Samsung.de. the s25u is basically for 150-200€ and then you pay like 35-39 per month for contract itself.. not a bad deal at all...
I'll be waiting to see the GSMArena test results..kind of concerned about all that AI and what impact it would have on performance and battery life...

All in all ...i have mixed feelings. AI doesn't seem that it would help with my usage/activities/apps..

    Enjoy 7 years os update while other phone brands has starting to packed up with 6-8.5k mah battery this year..

      Samsung Canada's trade-in offer of $1095 for a 512GB S25U when trading in a 512GB S23U, requiring an additional $1100 plus taxes, necessitates a review of the value proposition. What advancements justify this price?

        5 years old junk with new colours and corners.

          Genuinely who would spend the extra money to get this over the S24 Ultra? Like this is peak conspicuous consumption

            C'mon guys, there's nothing else to invent anymore. Everything is done for years, now is just small improvements. What did you expect? Not here or in any other brand. That's why, imo, they shouldn't release a new "flagship" every year but maybe every 3 or 4 years.
            My S10+, 12GB/1TB gave me 5 plus years of reliable performance. Not even changed my batery. Just bought a ZF6 1TB bc I needed to take lot of notes and correct a lot of exams from my students...and my eyes are not the same anymore. It's just a smartphone not the cure for a disease.

              This is a way better design than one of the S24U.

                jiyen235, 3 hours agoI think I understand why you guys love Samsung. Just like t... morefor the same reason you love Apple .lol.

                  ngl the base and plus are even more boring... and somehow looks like A series more (they removed the color matching ring). One good news is 8 Elite in all region?

                      Why does my S23 Ultra feel so much faster now that the S25 Ultra's out? 🤔

                          According to Google's Gemini, upgrading your S23 Ultra is unnecessary if its performance and battery life are satisfactory.

                                      The last time i saw sales number, people prefer flagship from Samsung over generic design ugly big circle camera island of chinese flagship.

                                      Maybe thay would explain the flop sales of chinese flagship. People are embarassed holding a chinese phone.

                                        I knew it would be a boring presentation but man they outdid themselves, giving us the most disappointing flagship launch in their history, Just take out every AI feature from the presentation and the show will be empty! almost nothing is changed beside the UW cam

                                        have you ever checked on the market and the competition, samsung ? or u blind ? that was an embarrassing show to say the least
