    [deleted post]Embarassed for a best selling Android flagship? Maan.. i would even make a phone call with loudspeaker so any people can see my popular brand Samsung phone.

    If i were you, i would embarassed by the flop sales of chinese flagship😂

    not to mention the generic ugly big circle camera island on every chinese flagship is one big factor why people are embarassed holding a chinese phone, resulting the flop sales 🤣

      Boring & very minor upgrades. Not worth upgrading, imho. Lacking in cameras, RAM, screen max brightness, battery capacity, and thus, battery life.

        Anonymous, 9 hours agoAs a Samsung Fan i dont even know what to say. Samsung turn... moreWell, at least you (probably) don’t live in the US where iPhones are most popular among everyone. And the US has no Xiaomi, no Honor, no Huawei, No Oppo, no Vivo.

        Oh, and even though OnePlus is sold in America, iPhones and Samsungs only sell in America because of carrier deals. OnePlus stopped selling their flagships via T-Mobile with the 11 and it’s sad.

          As S24U user i like design, i thougt it would look worse. Also LOG video is wellcome feature, I hope it reaches 24 series. All line gets SD8E that is good to.

          I don't care for ultrawide.

              Kobaa, 9 hours agoSamsung's only focus is on selling A.I. These phon... more"Sent by my chinese crap phone."

                jiyen235, 9 hours agoeven Google's giving 16 gigs of RAM.... And 10 bit HDR... moreWell there are sensors with 12-bit and even 14-bit raws and they themselves use sensors with 12-bit raws capability at least in main cam, but they won't utilise dcg, dsg or whatever they have for those raws, others will lead in it's usage.

                  Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra:
                  slimmer, lighter, and JerryRigEverything is ready for scratching, disassembling and bending.

                    Frankly, my expectations were low because of all the leaks, but man I have to give it to Samsung, somehow they still disappointed me.

                      seriously, can a launch get any more boring? The most exciting thing i saw/read is that they would include 'titanium' in the name of the colorways, so names like gold tit, black tit, white tit, brown? my goodness...i am so done with samsung...

                              There can't possibly be a more boring announcement, other than the more rounded corners, new snapdragon and new ultrawide camera, what is actually new here? Everything could have been done via software update to the s24 and even s23. No fast charging, still those old crap camera sensors that lag behind phones from 2-3 years ago, the same old design and the most boring ass washed out colors ever seen to be seen from mankind. Other than the software they have literally no edge compared to other brands

                                Ivo., 9 hours agoJust a better low light performance from the ultrawide came... moreUpgrades from last gen are never worth it.

                                  Sucks that it only comes with 12 GB RAM in Germany, but it's still an upgrade from the 8 in my S23 Ultra. With trade-in of the 256 GB version and the extra code I pay around 800€ for the 512 GB version, with the Spigen Enzo Magnetic Aramid case. I'd say, that is totally okay, even if it isn't a crazy upgrade

                                      Just a better low light performance from the ultrawide camera, it's not worth the upgrade from my S24 Ultra! Samsung should have made the 5x zoom camera 200 MP for 20x lossless optical quality shots! What a disappointment!
