Anonymous, 01 Mar 2025How are you gonna easily tell the lack of colors in real us... moreWhy then is it called Ultra when neither its display is ultra, nor its battery, nor its charging, nor its cooling is ultra? For God's sake, even the pen is no longer "Ultra"...
Ultra compromises only! And ultra Price...

    xPandamon, 01 Mar 2025Benchmarks tend to be the extreme. In daily tasks and games... moreYes, well, apparently only you understand... It is clearly visible in the tests how Samsung starts to "stutter" when it reaches about 40 degrees... For daily tasks and 8 gen 3 is enough, but that's not the point... The question is why one of the most expensive phones on the market does not offer what is expected of it - ultra performance everywhere. To give 1300+ euros for a phone for which then the fans of the brand explain to me how there was no problem in daily tasks, even though it suffers from strong throttling under load. Thanks, but no thanks.

        kdss, 01 Mar 2025Absolutely! For me it's a pure own goal from Samsung. ... moreBenchmarks tend to be the extreme. In daily tasks and games, the overclock does do what it is supposed to do, as long as thermals are under control. It's sad to see how many people here do not understand benchmarks. Also purposefully removing thermal limits for higher benchmark scores is VERY different from what Samsung is doing and rightfully hated.

            "Shitty Samsung lowers and locks the brightness in games as those trustful and honest reviews in YouTube" and "you don't check facts and speak nonsense against Chinese "

            To

            "You are basically saying there is a feature that needs turning off/changing or is buggy "


            ;) you know definition of that, right? It's called trolling and just arguing for the sake of argument. I will buy S25U in few days/weeks and "suffer personally with that bad device". ;)

              double standards for scamsung. LOL. Well at least he shows his true form and says honestly that Samsung's UI is buggy, unlike 90% of other fanboys.

                    Luke, 01 Mar 2025;) dude you have no idea what you are talking about . rea... moreso you're essentially telling people to turn off auto brightness, which is necessary for outdoor sunlight usage? Not only that, you're also telling people to mess around in weird settings just to have a normal experience that most other flagships will give you and the s23 ultra gave you before.

                    lmao, so yeah sure bro. Keep yapping. "Chinese gang".

                      . really. Dim to 5% and auto brightness and brightness lock in games are different things.

                      Don't want to mention there are other settings involved

                      And there's auto display mode changes, which in past have been buggy so i always disabled.

                        jiyen235, 01 Mar 2025Overclocked version that only looks good in benchmarks. ... moreAbsolutely! For me it's a pure own goal from Samsung. The phone would work a bit better if they used the normal version of the processor. It would be a cooler and more stable.

                          jiyen235, 01 Mar 2025Overclocked version that only looks good in benchmarks. ... moreActually not even in benchmarks because of worse cooling system

                            A few years ago, people mocked Xiaomi for this, and rightfully so. Manipulating thermal settings for benchmarks is not a good thing and is deceptive. Now that Samsung's doing it no one's really talking about it. Funny how that works.

                              Luke, 01 Mar 2025My comments do not come out, hence it's pointless to w... morethe auto dim of the game bar is not the same as this one lol, you're just twisting words for your favorite brand.

                              The auto dim of the game bar puts a lock screen in the middle of the screen and dims the phone to sub 50-100 nits. I know it cus i've sometimes slept while using my phone and saw the screen being so dim that i thought it was off but nope it was just in a funny "kinda locked" type of scenario. Really cool feature but it's not at all what you're talking about.

                              I'm never trusting your words again, you fail to do proper research and throw out garbage excuses.

                                  Samsung game bar/mode or whatever you call it has a function to auto dim or lock the brightness even. Those reviews are pointless if they don't play with those 2 parameters, also see if games can be excluded from that game mode completely (by disabling the service for example). Paid stuff everywhere on YouTube, trying to prove smith is worse than another..
