Weekly poll results: the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra may be in trouble, vanilla S25 could be a hit

02 February 2025
The vanilla and Ultra models have been close in terms of popularity (measured by the number of units shipped), but the Ultra used to have the upper hand.

Basically, I have access to Pixel, iPhone, and Samsung at work, but I don't care about their performances because I don't use them.

                Bobi7x7 , 02 Feb 2025Such long comment for just nothing 😂 You still dont get it ... moreI don't know what tests you're looking at, but I've been using 1+ 13 for 2 weeks and I charge it every 28-36 hours, and the battery is at 18-20 percent at that time.

                  I wouldn't be surprised when the S25 series fail to expects Samsung's sales figures. Each iteration is more of the same, it won't help them in the long term since innovation was always Samsung's thing. Even when they came up with features that came and went, people liked they tried at least.

EU regulations they would have to put different batterys like Vivo in EU.... And i think 5000mh is still enough watch battery drain test the oneplus 13 holds 30-45 min longer than S25U with 1000mh more and thats hilarious ! Only the X200 Pro and Honor Magic 7 Pro is good and still have 20-30% left in the Tank 🤷🏻‍♂️

Normally i dont intend to put my S23U in a case BUT the edges are so horrible sharp there is no fun in playing with the phone vertical after 1 hour your hands hurt and as bonus you get a mark from the edges.... Playing game without case is impossible ! So finally the hurting edges are gone 🙌 Who says he love these sharp edges must be an masochist or has Robot hands.....

Oneplus/vivo/mi/huawei are coming very close to SAM and are almost 30-35% cheaper with similar specs.

                              Samsung got it all wrong. It's not that S25 will be a hit, it's basically that Ultra model is not the flagship we used to see in the past years.

                              It's beyond my understanding why Samsung try to copy every bad aspect of Apple (design, lack of features, same specs every year etc.) but they forget to add a competitor to the Pro model where the real Apple innovation is.

                              If you need a relatively compact form factor (like the Pro) with all the Ultra specs in, you need to go back to Note 10 series, when Pro models didn't even exist.

                              S25 is nowhere near the 16 Pro unfortunately.. and S25U is too similar to Pro Max.. No surprise they lose market share.

                                Who would've thought that we'd live to see Samsung fall so badly...

                                  Well Samsung removed features and went Apple and Google way. If anyone wants those hyped "features", he/she would have bought already iPhone or Pixel.. fact is - Samsung destroyed SUltra this year. They will get what they deserve, my money won't go to their accounts.

                                    The fact that this is the 4th year with the same Camera hardware for the Vanilla S line models, just goes to show that Samsung only cares about its ULTRA line up only. Its a shame that they have been selling us the same cameras for so long while relying on some AI magic to improve the images. They have taken their loyal customers for granted and the sales will gradually show that.

                                      Sure the percentages are different, but look at the actual numbers. A lot more people voted in the s25 ultra poll, and a lot more voted for buying that one: 1191 - 581
                                      People will always buy the most expensive model more, even if they neither need it, nor if it makes sense. It all comes down to bragging rights abd FOMO.

                                        Well how about that. I have the Galaxy S25. 🤔

                                        Honestly, I feel as though Samsung really needs to innovate soon or they risk losing a lot of sales. No one wants to feel like they're buying the same phone twice.
