    "S Pen downgrade, really???"

    That's enough reason to NOT go for this one and stay with S24 ultra.

      Great article is not sugar coating situation. The worst Ultra out there indeed it is true, China circling around this Samsung Ultra crap, with every flagship phone beating it, usage of Apple strategy is brutal, yet people buying Samsung crap, it's ridiculous, why change anything if you still Number 1 in Android market 🤣

        I’m not sure I’m overly impressed with the S25 ultra release,instead I’ve purchased the Honor magic 7 pro for a LOT less money.680 for the uk version with 512gb storage from Honor UK and it includes a free 100 watt charger.

          There's still one Ultra that's not as good at photography and that's ASUS Zenfone 11 Ultra. The only ultra phone that Samsung beats at photography (even though Samsung isn't bad at photography)

                        I guess Mark Zuckerberg hasn't, doesn't or won't tolerate frivolity in the work place, has read or allowed staff to any of your comments

                        "Mark Zuckerberg used GALAXY S23 Ultra on stage during Meta Connect 2023 keynote event. On the stage, there were TWO GALAXY S23 Ultra units, and one of them was connected with a USB Type-C DisplayPort cable for video mirroring on the screen."

                          I was waiting for s25 ultra to replace my pixel 8 pro, because of its abysmal battery life with which i was struggling to barely get through entire day and the inflexible pixel ui (not for me). But after seeing s25 ultra and that AI show i finally got my first Chinese phone find x8 pro (16/512) with which i'm really impressed, i could easily get 2 day battery (bonus 80w fast charge), camera is great with those 4 lenses on the back and i really love how smooth ColorOS is, and easy to get rid of those bloatware compared Samsung phones.

                              Disappointing, truly. Why get a Samsung when practically any other manufacturer offers more for the same or even less money? Heck, even Pixels are now winning me over from Samsung despite their higher cost - but the fact remains that you get a lot more for your money than with these new Samsung phones with lackluster upgrades and even downgrades in terms of the S Pen.

                                They might as well get rid of s pen all together if there is no functional use for it and use the extra room for battery. This is clearly overpriced for what it offers. Samsung needs to put more effort in r&d .remove ai features , antireflective display and new ultrawide I don't see anything worth improved. Disappointed.

The S10 line-up sold over 40 million units. The S20 barely reached 20 million and the S21 barely got to 10 million.
                                    They haven't recovered since. With luck Samsung manages to reach 20 million S line-up sales. They have yet to return to S10 numbers when the phones didn't lack basic features.

                                      MHM, 27 Jan 2025This is what every company is doing with its flagship phone... moreI completely agree. You should keep each flagship phone for at least 5 years and then upgrade and then it will feel like a big upgrade.
