What is interesting is how much gaming time the snapdragon elite gives on Samsungs. Over 10hours gaming on a 4900ma battery while honor can only manage just over 8 hours on a 5800ma equipped honor magic 7pro. If Samsung can manage this on old battery design then these new batteries are rubbish.

Just need the anti reflective screen that started on s24 ultra. By the time we get it Samsung will be equipping exynos again which is a deal breaker.

Anonymous, 09 Feb 2025Can they even be considered mid-tier? This are just bad bad bad! by mid-tier flagship I meant something like the iPhone 16 Plus or the S25+, in other words NOT the base iPhone 16 or S25 but NOT the top tier S25 Ultra or 16 Pro Max. I'm not reviewing their ranking but just using the term "mid-tier" as literally that, a term to describe where they fall in the flagship stack. In all honesty The S25+ would've made an epic 600-700 dollar flagship killer like the IQOO 13.

Just one correction on what is mentioned in the battery section of this review. - The S25+ can charge at 45w speed even with 3A cable. The samsung adapter box mentioned that for all flagship models released after 2025 will be able to charge at 45w ecen with 3A cable.

Samsung should work on its flagship phone design. All phones look the same whether it's budget or flagship. These camera module designs should change.

Samples posted by this website show ... morei said it comes dangerously close, not "so close you won't be able to tell the difference". Based on the size you'd have expected a 30% difference but it's a 5-10% difference at best. I'm not gonna post a scandal about the sensor size change as I think Vivo's processing is good and cus I'm a guy who uses the telephoto more than the main cam so I'd rather have the best telephoto with a good main cam rather than the other way round.
What I AM mad about is the highly artificial processing, tho you can turn down the sharpness in the settings, but still, I think it's too artificial but at least it looks better than Oppo, Google, Honor and Huawei ig lol. And what's more annoying is the mid selfie cam, Vivo takes ok shots with it but lack of AF on a flagship selfie cam is concerning. Worst of all, the video stabilization on the global model is wack. I think there's a lot of things you can complain about on the Vivo, but the main cam downgrade is not one of them as it's handled well by Vivo AND you get the best telephoto out there as compensation.

Can the team clarify (of any user who would know): which browser is used for the battery test, web browsing time? The default one for each device?
Maybe using Chrome would give different times than with Samsung browser (potentially more optimized). Same if Opera is used for iPhone. They have such a longer time, it's worth analyzing.

jiyen235, 07 Feb 2025cus of the x200 pro, that phone's shots come dangerous... moreStop spreading lies.
Samples posted by this website show x100 ultra is much better than 200 pro, by huge margin.
Not even necessary to use zoom tool to see it.
You and other would be making scandal if downgrade was performed by non-chinese brands.

I agree with the comments on the next midrange might be more interesting.
With only 50+ comments so far I think this shows that people just don't care or have battle fatigue...

Why nobody’s mentioning boot options and if closed or open for the advanced users?
Personally I would straight away remove all 3rd party apps cause as a owner of the smartphone is up to me to decide what I need.

I would happily trade a more streamlined design and better user experience for a slightly weaker camera.

[deleted post]Yeah, 5-6 Chinese gang kids destroyed GSMArena forums. Guess admins are happy to overlook rules since that generates clicks..
I think I'll be leaving the site soon - nothing useful apart from marketing articles and fanboy spam..
