The only thing that makes me want the S25U over my S24U is the weight. But my wallet says no, not yet, until my S24U is broken.

            Samsung and apple is moving away from hardware innovation and looks. The difference is Samsung provides better ai tech and over all performance. But let's not forget the offers of vivo and Xiaomi who are equally drawing closer to the flagship beast like the promax and sultras specially vivo who reins supreme in most YouTubers list as the best camera phone or phone of the year

            Seems like last time I excited from s series is probably 2022. Let take this as the truth. Samsung is lagging behind like 2-3 years compared to competitors in flagship segment. Their flagship is just 2022 version with improved software and barely on hardware.

            AI spy 🤦

              They should just rename this phone as the S22 Ultra (Gen 3), since there are no significant changes since 2022, only slight design tweaks and SoC updates.

              How embarrassing that they're being beaten by other Android OEMs and even the iPhone when it comes to camera quality and battery life.

              Hanif Fikri, 23 Jan 2025How trade in is worth it though? You send em your s23 ultra... moreI pay around 800€ for the S25 Ultra. I would not say that I sacrifice my old phone, it did its job and now can retire and be recycled or renewed and resold. For that price the alternatives aren't all that much better, and they lack a bunch of things that still make the Ultra special

                DomtheCuber, 22 Jan 2025Is it though? Like is the screen really that much better th... moreYeah, the screen makes a massive difference. Although for me the upgrade is worth it just because my battery and something on my mainboard is fried, so my 3 hour drive to work alone drains half of my battery

                  xPandamon, 22 Jan 2025Worth it for me, with trade-in I pay S25 prices for the S25... moreHow trade in is worth it though? You send em your s23 ultra and also pay s25u for s25 prices? So s23u add up s25's price maybe around 600$ + 900$ = 1500$. If that's so it's way not worth it for me. 1500$ is not s25's price because you sacrifice your 600$ used s23u

                      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..

                        Hard pass. I like my s24 ultra and I'm happy with it, and I see absolutely nothing here that justifies paying 600 plus to trade this in for the new model. Sure it's got tweaks but nothing to justify that price tag and such a quick overwrite of the 24.
