    In depth tech reviews has a video on the S25 Ultra vs Oneplus 13 and the S25 Ultra not only dims its display but just straight up fails the test. Before you say that this is too intensive, just remember that the S23 Ultra did better with a far less efficient chip.

    If you watch Tom The Tech Chap's battery test, you'll see after 4:38 of the video the others are brighter on average than the S25 Ultra, particularly the Find X8 Pro and the Honor Magic7 Pro and the phones being together in the center means the camera won't be showing you anything weird/altering the reality too harshly.. You might also be able to see it at the 5:11 mark. Admittedly this is kind of hard to notice so i'll discount this one.

    TechDroider has 2 vids. At 5:18 of his battery drain test, on the white screen you can see the S25 Ultra being dimmer than the rest. And the extreme brightness test further shows how unusable the S25 Ultra really can be. Imagine turning on Mobile Data while out and about and using perhaps location navigation. The S25 Ultra won't handle that, but the Oneplus 13 will.

          Lowest fps in games of any modern phone
          Lowered screen brightness when playing games and you could not adjust it.

                        Nope. You just don't want it, so you're finding a reason not to.

                          I'm not sure what it's going to take for Samsung to realize that binning fewer, yet larger individual pixels nets you better image quality in difficult lighting than binning a ton of very tiny pixels

                            This should be op13 vs s25+.
                            Purpose of ultra is mainly the pen.
                            Should not compare to phones without pen.

                                  I'd easily choose OP13 if :

                                  - had japanese or korean oled , much better. Even Apple does not think boe is good enough.
                                  - did still had oxygen instead of colorOS
                                  - front camera was not quadbayer
                                  - SAR was below 0.8

                                  These are huge negatives to me
