Please note all purchasers

There are some points you must to note before purchase

1) there is no call recorder exist which is more important for business
2)there is not available real time network speed
3)there are not much features in S pen

    sdkk, 24 Jan 2025I completely understand you. I don't use many addition... moreTruthfully, I wish I would use a pen more, so its more like for future proof-ness, but I use AI edit a lot, and even if its not perfect or so good like paid editing, its useful, so is photo quality ''restoration''.
    But with chinese phones going 4x hi res in foldables and batteries in foldables attacking 6000mAh, not to mention fast wire/wireless charging,... its like too many day life advantages.
    That put against hi res+ND, its basically even.
    I may wait till next gen of S and fold line, so Samsung got a change, well, if nothing surprising comes out...

        The price of the S25 series is increasing in Indonesia; it is about $60 more than the S24 series.

Iphone are the ones who copy everyone else and try to pass it off as innovation...

                  Mehmet Ocak , 28 Jan 2025Not same in Ireland, (which is a EU country) any contract y... moreGermany - whicheven network you like, seems like Samsung themselves give the discounted device, not the carrier.
                  Go to Samsung . de, click Vorbestellen (preorder) , scroll down to Tariffe, click Auswaehlen (choose).

                  The one I like and I'm considering currently is with Vodafone Smart M Spezial:
                  65GB data per month, full flat for calls/msgs..
                  45 Euro per month.
                  Device costs 269 Euro, but Vodafone gives back 200 if you bring your existing number to them and Samsung gives 150 euro only today if you buy it..

                  So ultimately for smth like 43 Euro per month I can get S25U + contract for 2y...no further payments needed...

                    Luke, 26 Jan 2025Just fyi, affording a Samsung S series is no brainer in Wes... moreNot same in Ireland, (which is a EU country) any contract you make with any company you will be paying full price of the phone which is around 1500-1600 euros , plus the bill phone bill roughly another 720 euros. Therefore min you pay in ireland 1600+720 : 2320 euros. Where you buy that you pay 100 e for the s25 ultra and then 10 euro for 24 months? Which country which network?

                      ironass, 27 Jan 2025No battery life or charging times!!!I think many are eagerly waiting for that information.. let's see when GSMArena will post it.
                      By looking at other reviews/YouTube tests with "early delivered devices" , S25U should charge to 50% in 20min (starting from ~15-20%) and should be able to last under heavy usage for 7-8 hours, depending on mix and games tested (some are sucking the juice out of batteries, some are not even noticeable, ymmv)

                        The Ultra actually looks really nice. Kind of like, a single sheet of display, with that frame and narrow bezel.

                        I must refrain from preordering! >.<
                        I want the Flip7 when it arrives...

                          Camera samples: first room shoot S25U shot is blurry, S24U sharp, at 1/60 sec you should be more careful because it doesn't do any justice to S25U (shows it inferior at pixel level).

                          The very next shot with TV set is reversed, S24U is blurry, S25U is sharp. It goes like a seesaw in next pairs.

                          3x Zoom looks identical (only first vase shot / table). 5x too.

                          So, all in all, the cameras are identical for stills under room light, but you should take same precaution when taking and publishing samples.

                          P.S. Please, bring back the old church clock with mosaic shots in full reviews, as well as the hotel with shade fence dots. We cannot relate to the new buildings you are using in reviews and compare them with older models! :(

                            Verry nice galaxy s25 ultra

                              The new line-up looks very cheap and tacky, they don't feel as premium this time round either, especially the Ultra. The rounded corners are just awful as well

                              Plus no bluetooth support for the S pen, WTF Samsung?! Do better

                                No battery life or charging times!!!

                                    Samsung Galaxy S25 is just an updated version of the A55, legit.
