          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

              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!

                    Even if someone gives it to me free still I'll consider it costly

                      even Google's giving 16 gigs of RAM.... And 10 bit HDR? That's funny, considering the fact that Samsung still is at 8 bit for their displays most likely lmaooo

                      The rounded corners further make it more Apple like. And based on some videos the S Pen has some removed features like bluetooth connectivity. And wow, the dimensions are nearly bang on identical to the 16 Pro Max and the display size is the same now.

                      162.8 x 77.6 x 8.2 mm vs 163 x 77.6 x 8.3 mm, and 6.9 inches on both.


                      Props to Samsung for finally having HDR video by default tho, that's a huge feature and i'm curious to see in what sort of outlandish way Samsung is going to make this huge feature look mid. The iPhone's HDR is industry leading and the Sony's HLG HDR is the best feature on any videography camera imo. Hopefully other manufacturers try to implement HDR as default in their videography now and maybe even dabble with HLG.

                      And although the new design is hideous, it's more practical, still sharper than most other phones and most importantly it's far less wider than the S24 Ultra but this is exactly what they were trying to do. Sharpen up and make the phone uncomfier with the S23 Ultra and the S24 Ultra and then roll back and make it more comfortable and act like you did something new. Apple would be proud. Really curious to see what they nuked to shave so much weight lol

                        I don't think I miss out on this if I have the S24 Ultra. Heck, I still find the S23 Ultra a capable monster to have.

                        Now I'm just waiting to see what Sony will do with the Xperia 1 Mk7.

                            These phones deserve the ugliest phone of the year award.

                              Same shit again and always overpriced.
                              Thank you Samsung for the great innovation of every year.

                                  Very disappointing. No 6000 mah battery and no 16gb ram model.
