Ok...well I'lI simply not be giving my S25U to any accident prone, 6ft tall robots then 🤷♂️
Also whilst we are on the subject of durability, those camera rings that seemed to annoy people over not having survived an encounter with a Stanley blade! Yeah having not yet attacked my phone any with razor sharp metal objects, they are doing just fine.
So to sum up, avoid challenging your S25U to a knife fight, or letting any clumsy looking Terminators borrow it to make a call, and everything should be copacetic 👍

deffault, 13 Feb 2025i dont care about security patches, always ignoring them
m... moreAre you 100% sure, it's stable in Finland.
Or is the lack of updates my carrier's fault or is it a region problem???
It's an international factory unlocked model, so it should't be a region problem.
According to forums, the carrier gives us the updates, but according to my carrier, Samsung gives us the updates.
Who is lying here?
Samsung or my carrier???
If it is the carrier, then that means my carrier isn't doing their job well!!!!

You don't have to be an engineer or a whizkid to know that such tests are actually ridiculous. Any phone with a glass screen, in any form as actually is the norm with an alu, titanium, metal, plastic...frame is prone to have a shattered screen and/or dented or cracked frame. That's why I often thing to myself why the hell so much effort is put into the aesthetics (it must be nice to look at) while in fact they should make rugged phones while not forgetting about the "looks" part. Phone makers have already proven several times that they can make such phones but apparently prefer to make stuff very "nice" so that you can put in an ugly case and as such hide the "nice" stuff. If aliens would keep an eye on us they would broadcast throughout space "don't come to earth, the local species are nuts".

The update is pretty much as stable as on s25 ultra
As I read, there are no REALLY noticable glitches and bugs.

[deleted post]Ok, thanks, but is it stable????
For example, Android 12 was broken.
Many Bluetooth issues.
Audio lag and stuttering.
So Samsung doesn't give you OTA updates anymore????
Whaaaat????
1850€ wasted!!!!!

One drop without a case and it's all over the floor 🙂

I have gotten 0 updates on 1 FULL year.
0 security updates too.
I have international factory unlocked model.
SM-S928B/DS.
1TB too.
I need storrage.
I know unlocked phones get updates later, but when????
I know Android 15 is not here yet, but 0 updates in 1 full year is annoying!!!!
I don't fear hackers, I have nothing to lose.
I do have Vivo X100 Ultra as backup storrage.
I had Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ and I was happy, but not anymore.
I'm from Finland.

"You should probably use a case"
If you're buying a phone this expensive, you're either too rich to not care about replacing it a few months later, or you ARE using a case, there's nothing in-between these two.

to be fair: no phone has ever survived Allstates' drop test 🤷♂️
I watched their other videos and all phones look like they've been hit by a truck multiple times after "1 drop, 6 feet".. they are an insurance company so they may be biased so people chose insurance. 🤔

So the screen is a downgrade???
It breaks easier???
Also they made the PPI tiny bit worse, to save money.
It's all about money.
They want maximum profit!!!!
How sad.
Greed is the reason.
I know profit is important, but GREED is not the way!!!!
They don't innovate new stuff anymore.
They don't need to, because FANBOYS and loyal customers will buy these AI stuffed toys, no matter what.
Yeah, ISOCELL makes more stuff, but Samsung doesn't use the best of the best.
