Anonymous, 06 Feb 2025Makes you wonder how this model, like the A55, is able to h... moreBecause they can but also not.

Seamless updates need a different system partitioning, and that can be only done in the factory when the phone is produced, not afterwards.

So on paper the hardware can do it.

As to why Samsung sticked so extremely long to the old method is a mystery.

    None since nobody make small phone anymore

          Invetor, 06 Feb 2025The camera samples are... pretty okay? It's weird t... moreBetter than S25U? both are weak, and worse than competitive products like pixel, iphone, one plus... blurry details, a lot of noise... s24 series is better. samsung need to upgrade camera hardware.

            "Still, for around €800-900/$800-900, you can get an iPhone 16"

            Hell no. For that price the iPhone is way too outclassed to even consider it.

              I love my little S25. It's a beast. Had it for a week now and I'm still amazed how much performance is packed in such tiny device. SD 8 Elite performance is insane. I didn't notice a single stutter in Genshin or Call of Duty on max settings and phone barely gets warm. It's like high end computer or a console in my pocket. Don't get fooled by compact size, because of tiny bezels screen is almost as large as big phones from few years ago. Screen, battery, cameras, all good. For me it's perfect. Glad I didn't go with the Plus model. Oh and I highly recommend getting official anti-glare protector, it's gamechanger. As for comments here nothing new. Just trolling, toxicity and vitriol.

                  how much time would it take to run this article through a spell-checking tool? 3 minutes? I know that no one pays you to write these articles, but come on...

                    Anonymous, 06 Feb 2025this camera is really bad... omg a lot of mid range phones ... morePhone cameras are heavily overrated. Comparing photos in store, made by several phones on one and the same stand/table shows that there are literally zero differences, regardless of price and maker/models.

                    At least zooming and inspecting the photos on phone's screen, if you print on posters that's another issue, but for that purpose I'd never pay and use a smartphone, if that's my job and intention. So discussing and idle chat here is one thing, reality is ..all phones produce same picture quality for at least 2 years.. with a bit of sharpening/softening touch here and there

                      the review mentions there is no vertical app drawer. there is - you've got to change the sort mode to alphabetical.

                              It seems in the last year, your range for scores is 4.0 - 4.5. The worst phones get 4, and the best ones get 4.5.

                                Why does need to launch new phone if it doesn't get upgrades hardware wise except Soc ? Govt talk about climate change and e-waste but not focusing on brand that produces product every years without upgrades govt should focus on this to if care about climate change and e-waste hence Bil gat focusing on human reduction 💩

                                    battery life is abysmal,samsung should ashamed of herself and roll in the ditch where it belong

                                      Why do the images keep turning out upside down on GSM Arena when you click on them??

                                        I got mine for about 720 us dollars, pre ordered with freebies worth 150 us dollars. S25 (512G) A big upgrade for me coming from vivo v20 pro, totally worth it.
