S25U Downgrade , 02 Feb 2025Even the paid youtube channels have a hard time to convince... moreso why do you need to put an entire novel on why you think the s25 ultra is bad

Even the paid youtube channels have a hard time to convince themselves that anyone on S23 or S24 Ultra should upgrade to the S25U. I bet S25U will have falling sales given they have been just releasing virtually the same fone over and over again and with Downgrades or similar hardwares; just new Chip and slight design changes with no real meaningful benefits for upgrades.
Meanwhile Chinese fones such as Vivo, Xiaomi, have far superior hardwares, Bigger and newer tech Battery, Faster charging speeds, brighter and newer clearer display panels and better cameras.
They must be clapping their hands while Samsung commits Harakiri by skimming on last years Cheaper Display panels instead of going for the best panels which THEY actually make today, downgrade the S-pen Bluetooth, downgrade the 16GB Ram when people are paying 1TB max dollars since s23U, downgrade Camera 10x Optical to 5X optical. use similar cameras for the last 4 years and same 5000Mah battery for the last 5 years when most Flagships have moved to 6000Mah and bigger camera sensors which is where the real difference is instead of 200MP or 50MP upgrades (mostly just pixel binning) .
The S25U no longer deserves the name ULTRA, it is a disgrace that Samsung manage to butcher the name Ultra that use to meant the best of everything Samsung has to offer specs wise, they should just change the name to S25Budget Model as they try skim and save a few dollars while still wanting to charge max dollars and kill their own market share.
Their only saving grace is their software, hats off to that department only but other than that I see no real tangible benefit of the upgrade, definitely a downgrade only for s24U users and even S23U. A hard pass for me from S24U and been a loyal Samsung user since Note series, Samsung just lost its way since Roh took over, tried so hard to copy Apple even the upcoming slim model, buds 3, titanium sides, minor iteration cameras each year but then Apple never downgrades existing working features that are plus; such as removing the Bluetooth form S-pen to save a few dollars is just Pathetic even though I dont use a lot but no reason to remove it as I paid for it to have the best of everything Samsung has to offer.
S25Ultra is just and over glorified, a DOWNGRADE not upgrade.
If Samsung wants to sell more fones they should at the very least bring back the 10X Optical 50MP, 6000Mah battery, 65w fast charging and stop removing features that works (e.g S-pen Bluetooth) and improve on features that is already good such Dex that has not been improved since 5 years ago still the same old software.
Very disappointing S25U

Whats about the display calibration? How accurate is the natural mode? Does it track the PQ graph perfectly for HDR playback?

"The photo taken by Vivo looks great, the 1+ 13, 16 PM and Pixel also did well. The photo taken by S25U is clear and sharp. And it doesn't matter that it has a yellow tint, I like it the most. Vivo and Samsung get 4 points each, the other three brands 2 points each. 😂😂😂😂😂

S24U users have been wondering for the third month how long they will have to wait for A15 and whether they will get A16 first and then A15. 🤣🤣🤣 And 4+6 years of Support are not 3...
