Sadly, it's just not a major change. Samsung really has gone the way of Apple. S22 Ultra just about feels like the same phone as the last several releases.
I think that's the issue or actually we are the issue. We want so much change each time but complain about the change. Not saying I like it, I fall in that category too, wanted "something different" but had to sit back and think about it. It's just time we wait to upgrade after a couple of years. Pixel killed the look last year but just watch, it won't be much different this year and watch the complaints. Apple is different bc they haven't changed in years, we at least have folds.
In my opinion, with smartphones design becoming stagnant, companies like Apple, Google, Samsung should release hardware upgrades every 2 years and software upgrade each year.
First one to comment 😂😀 Otherwise the only positive thing about the release of the s25 series is that it'll make the s24 series cheaper. They're basically the same
It feels much better in your hands. For me that was the dealbreaker with the s24u. I wanted a phone not a brick. (And yes i tried them both today at a store.)
Well Google were doing and still are doing a mad sale. I got my Pixel 9 Pro for £666 (25% discount code and £248 for trade-in Redmi Note 10 Pro) and £91 google store credit. For the 512GB version.
I'm disappointed to lose the Bluetooth functionality on the S25U S pen. This will prevent me from upgrading. It was so useful for remote camera shooting.
Great comparison, KJ, thanks. I ordered the s25 Ultra only because of that 900 trade in. But it will never replace my Pixel 9 Pro XL. Still my favorite!
Even the S20 Ultra came with 16 GB of Ram, 5000 mah battery, 45w fast charging, 6.9 inch display, 10 MP 3x telephoto lens.FOR the 5 years Samsung has done nothing new on these issues. Samsung❎ Scamsung✅
Pixel for camera's. Period. I myself still have both Galaxy and Pixel. And my pixel 9 pro XL just delivers photos So clean And sharp. I always get compliments even from basic photos on my phone.
I knew after LG bow out the phone game. It was going to get boring and it most definitely did get boring. Samsung don't have no competition. Especially after Huawei got banned. Far as the US go anyway. The phone game is dry now. The excitement its been gone for a minute. SMH 😢
At this point i think Samsung should just focus on ome UI and then use stock android apps. Gemini only interacts with google workspace and apps. And since Samsung has a different app for everything on Android - Mail, message, Photos, AI assistant, wallet etc it's not going to integrate with Gemini. I guess that's why they had to pair it with Bixby.
Nice update! The S25 Ultra will still be an upgrade over my S23 Ultra that has a bad battery. Hopefully the new chip will make up for the lackluster improvements.
The S25U display is the M13+. The S24U was M13. But here's the kicker: the Pixel is M14 and so is the iPhone 16 Pros. So they are the best even this year. Wow. Check me out. No fake news here
Pixel 9 pro XL is the 🏆 S25 ultra not only as to many similar compared to S24 ultra Google already caught up to Samsung in so many categories it going to come down to exclusive camera features/AI features durable screen and finally 40 percent vapor chamber snd and better chip set😊
The s25u has way better deals than the pixel when it came out. I believe right now with a contract the s25u is even cheaper than s9 pro if you have apply the samsung members discount. (At least here in Germany)
The price in Canada ia high closer to folding phones. I'll still get either pixel fod software or OnePlus for performance. I think OnePlus software looks nice ans they do try to give more to their customers
Great review bro. Watching from my S23 Ultra and I'm not impressed with the design at all. Overall, this feels like they went the Apple way. Lots of Chinese manufacturers are doing better with features. So far, the Honor Magic 7 Pro has my attention. Would love to see a comparison between the iPhone 16 Pro Max, Honor Magic 7 Pro, and the S25U.
I'ma Samsung knight so I'm gonna upgrade pre order is in rounded edges and small upgrades are cool with me . And my pixel 9 pro XL does have ding in the corner aluminum from a less than one foot fall not cool

Pretty much!
It is the same!
Nope.... S21 still just about the same, other than a few upgraded specs!
Samsung s24U already a good power house. Companies should innovate; very year no need to .

Similar hardware to my Pixel 7 Pro, still rocking hard until 2028.
Similar in what way?
Similar enough that Google is practically begging Pixel 7 owners to upgrade to Pixel 9
Man you're getting better by the day. Damn!
@@techzolute appreciate you bro! Thank you
In my opinion, with smartphones design becoming stagnant, companies like Apple, Google, Samsung should release hardware upgrades every 2 years and software upgrade each year.
Mannnn. I tweeted something like this a few hours ago. I think yearly cycles are done
@CallMeKJOS Like minds think alike 😆
First one to comment 😂😀 Otherwise the only positive thing about the release of the s25 series is that it'll make the s24 series cheaper. They're basically the same
You ain't wrong! 🤣
Yeah! But in our region s24 comes w/ exynos. Dang it. Hopefully s25 series will all come with SD version.
It feels much better in your hands. For me that was the dealbreaker with the s24u. I wanted a phone not a brick. (And yes i tried them both today at a store.)
Maybe manufacturers should space out their phone releases? Every other year? S24 and S25 are too similar.
100% agree
I see a lot improvements with your latest videos kudos KJ!!!! Keep it up
Appreciate you brother

Yea bro pixel phones sales are growing in an ultimate level.
Yup, sales are going on rn
248£ for a redmi note 10 pro? Wow!!! I have the same redmi phone and in Spain they offer me 138€ (116£)
@@angelacuadriello3689 yea weird, also considering i only paid £129 lol
Agreed. Pixel 9's seem much better deals right now.
I'm disappointed to lose the Bluetooth functionality on the S25U S pen. This will prevent me from upgrading. It was so useful for remote camera shooting.
I never really cared for the Spen. So, meh!
Whats about the shutter lag? That was a reason, why i took the Google Pixel. Is it better now at the S25 Ultra?
I believe sensor size is more important to consider than just the F stop
Need to make compression between OnePlus 13 vs Samsung s25 ultra
Thank you, that was a good and quick video❤
Much appreciated! 🙏
Great comparison, KJ, thanks. I ordered the s25 Ultra only because of that 900 trade in. But it will never replace my Pixel 9 Pro XL. Still my favorite!

Honestly if i want the best camera between Pixel 9 Pro XL and S25 Ultra what should I go for. Currently using an S22 Ultra with a cracked screen😢
Go with S25 Ultra
S25 Ultra
Pixel for camera's. Period.
I myself still have both Galaxy and Pixel. And my pixel 9 pro XL just delivers photos So clean And sharp. I always get compliments even from basic photos on my phone.
Good video, #teampixel is still ahead in image processing. Google Pixel is better in photos and AI capabilities.
Yeah the AI is crazy
The S25 may have the same sized battery, but it also has some AI software that manages apps to let the phone run longer than the S24
Well see. The first battery test lifestream is on right now!

You’re not wrong about the battery life on the current generation.

Not exactly a review but appreciate you for watching. I can compare it to the iphone and one plus. Honor will be hard to find here
S25 series is so underwhelming!! Where are the upgrades? S42fe or Pixel 9 seem better deals right now.
Nice video .
