justasmile, 06 Feb 2025Have you tried One UI 7No, because Samsung's famous 7 years of OS are still only on paper and we've been waiting for One UI 7 for the third month in a row for the S24 series.

Well before I purchase a new mobile I always do my homework first,I read comments,I watch you tube,I even visit mobile phone shops to seek advice and reading,watching videos etc,so I'm tempted now to buy a Samsung 25 ultra 7years of updates no brainer.

xslvrxslwt, 05 Feb 2025Every single photo in this camera review section is crap an... moreas much as I support the fact that samsung HAVE to step up their camera hardware, you can't say honor are superior lol :
-much less versatility overall in photo
-way too much STRONG AI processing (not some normal ISP work) that is hidden / not even being talked about (modifying faces, generating things...)
-unusable videos if compared to samsung, any digital zoom = extreme noise with very very big loss of details + "jelly" effect
and not even talking about their countless lies and the usage of deceptive marketing tactics

The cons outweigh the pros and still gets a 4.5 rating?! Something fish is happening here. 🤔

I have been charging my Mi9 with a 5W charger for 5 years, and in the end, the battery could only last 1.5 days (5 days when it was new). My plan is to replace the battery after 4 years with a new one; it will be cheaper than buying a new Ultra

Why the benchmark wasn't done in different modes???
You guys do it for other phones or were you guys ignorant about the feature??

Its good to have competition and its getting stronger. We all have been waiting for some inovations, but it seems that these are not upcomming any soon. I like Samsung phones because they can have also custom roms, I m still playing arround with my old S6 egde with custom roms. Anyway I have ordered S25 U as my S10 battery is bad. Hopefully battery in S25 U will last good as long as the updates 7 years, what do you think?

Other cons: no better aptX codecs than basic Adaptive. No Lossless, no HD. Stupid way to force people to buy only Samsung earphones.

If you are used to apps/diff way of working it might not leave a good taste. Even my son can't stand One UI, while people like me and my wife are the opposite-eagerly searching for what we're used to in other phones :) Guess we all need to change/adapt a bit at some point ;)

justasmile, 05 Feb 2025There's "one more thing" that would've ... moreThe quality of the software is relative. It is a bit of a matter of taste. I tried a few days S24+ on my work. It is not to my taste. It seems to me full of too much for me. It was as if they had tried to add everything everywhere. I prefer the software to be fast, smoothly working and simple. In my opinion, you will be surprised at how fast and well -working is Oxygen15 if you try it. But this is still relative - as I said: different preferences - different people.
For example, some time ago I adored Xiaomi's Miui, but today I can't tolerate this thing they call software on their phones.

There's "one more thing" that would've made going for Samsung - that is, the flat screen. But even Chinese brands have realised the 3d curved screen mistake and started doing micro-curves.
Now the three remaining things that are saving Samsung are:
- 7 OS/security updates compared to 4/5 OS updates and 5/6 years of security updates
- Software (One UI is actually damn good)
- S Pen (but only available on Ultra)
But is it worth compromising on the other specs for these?

[deleted post] Nothing strange. That's how they deleted my messages about another type of problem with the S25U display, about a color issue when taking pictures, about a problem with the battery draining quickly and overheating. 🤣 Moreover, the phone is still on pre-order. There will be surprises for those who bought it. 🤣

Krillo, 02 Feb 2025Not one word on the fact that this phone is too heavy and large?It's an Ultra for a reason
