Why do someone not do what they want to do just because it encourages someone else to do something that affects some other person?
OP said it's a bargain and they will buy even if it's not, why force your opinions on others?

The only thing i like is the size and weight of the regular S25. But this won't be enough to choose it over the Xiaomi 15 for example.

Gsmarena: Samsung is not going to make any changes to the new model, so we will write the article using the exact same specs as last year model.
Seriously, what is the point of this article when the first page itself is wrong?

S25U is no go for me without stylus wireless functionality. Samsung definitely knows how to lose credibility with it's penny wise strategy.

K, 23 Jan 2025Dear gsmarena team,
You said the newer chip is more effi... moreBecause Qualcomm chips aren't really efficient when under load. 8.1,8.2,8.3 - all of them needed lots of power and cooling when under load.
And in S25 you have the AI hardware on top, plenty of AI software services 24x7, phone will be searched from 1 to last bit , indexed, analyzed, etc...
So if they really managed to get same battery life on S25 with all that extra stuff and Elite, compared to S24.. then Elite is really having a great efficiency.
We need to see the battery review and stress tests to judge SD Elite and S25 hw design...

Ultra phone from 2025 at a price of 1500 euros and they sell it to me with 12GB of RAM, while it's full of unnecessary AI-bloatware? They saved themselves 10-15 dollars by having 4GB less RAM. Absolutely greedy and disappointing from Samsung for the price they're asking.

Very disappointing...
I'm a S20 vanilla user, been using this for almost 5 years. It's been a perfect phone for me with no issues.
But Samsung really lacks of innovation. I think I will buy a Oneplus 13 instead.
