      Great video, my friend. I, too, am a samsung fan. That's why I use them. 1ui is the best OS on the market. I've been with Samsung since the S7.If they do not bring new battery and charging next year, I am done.

      @bradleyswaney6100 even if they bring new battery tech next year what does their past tell us it tells us that they don't care to push the limits they are like a juice company creating fresh delicious juice and then water it down to sell u the same batch over 5 years all while they could bring u something new once and then that is worthy for such a big company.
      They stand for snail speed innovation and a inferior experience in the long run doesn't seem worth ur money if u ask me...

  • @pettigrew95
    @pettigrew95 วันที่ผ่านมา +22

    I weighed a bunch of options in my head before pulling the trigger on getting the S25U. The reason I went with getting it and upgrading from my S23U is:
    1. I want that Snapdragon 8 Elite :)
    2. I am over the curved screen and the pain it is to install screen protectors on them
    3. I like the rounded corners on the S25U over the S23U
    4. Only thing I ever used the S-Pen for that required Bluetooth was the shutter function which I can do remotely on my Watch 6 (and do it better)
    5. Trading in my S23U gets me $750 in Samsung credit towards the S25U and the S23U is selling for less than that on Swappa
    6. The Samsung credits for pre-ordering the S25U I got Buds3 Pro and a case for almost nothing
    With all 6 of these reasons I am happy to be getting the S25U and am hoping I get it before the estimated delivery date of 2/7!

      @bankaimaster999 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      Same the only reason I'm not going for the S24 Ultra instead of the S25 Ultra (coming from my ancient S9) - is because the SD8 Elite and all the features and positives it comes with + the possible trade-in discount coverage for the S26/S27 after.
      I prefer Samsung ecosystem/UI/Screen so I couldn't look at the other SD8 Elite options.
      Not to mention the pre-order deals even without trade-in are still pretty good where I am at th moment (outside the US).
      But I do agree with @StevealiciousTech ... those on the S24U don't need to upgrade at all unless you just want that SD8 Elite and don't care about the S-Pen.
      Even S23U users may not need to upgrade either.

    • @kyawwk9477
      @kyawwk9477 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I can get S25U 512GB for £600 with discount codes and trading in my S23U (instead of £1349). That is tempting. I think the similar reasons as you and also it will cost me £65 to change the battery, Will decide in a few days

But its 2025 ✨ and best to keep the Spen from 24ultra. It adds character and you get smart with a spen that like command and write a book or a small love 💌 letter or even a love song that Spen sent to another to know the memory was behind that note 🌹💌written by you with that song. That's all. We like your video and a small message 💬 😘 thank you. Maybe just maybe next year model may be a good one. 💥📱🌹

    Imagine only Apple was making literally no upgrades to their next phone just so you have a bigger reason to buy the previous model ( the 14 series was a joke and so does the 16 series ) When the 14 was out, you would rather have bought the 13 instead and when the 16 was out, they made the 15 seem a much better deal
    Now Samsung literally did the same thing. With the release of S25 Ultra, you have more reasons to get the S24 Ultra instead. Nice marketing Samsung. And i can bet everything that this year the S24 Ultra will sell more than the S25 Ultra 😂

    Note 9 here. The vibe I'm getting is Samsung and the new mobile division leader-dude want to ditch the S-Pen altogether. The S25 Ultra was a step in that direction. The current team at Samsung mobile seem to be licking Apple's bootstraps. The S25 Ultra could practically be an iPhone 16 ProMax at this point. The S-Pen is almost worthless w/o Air Commands. I will be upgrading to an S24 Ultra or iPhone 16 Pro Max, just working through the details. So sick of Samsung's one step forward, two steps back. My Note 9 is/was a beast. It needs to be replaced but it's got multiple features that you can't even get on any phone, anywhere anymore i.e. FM radio, SD card, headphone jack, and a REAL S-Pen as S-Pen was intended to be. So sick of Samsung's B.S.

    Personally, I do not like the S25 Ultra. I would have liked a bigger battery, faster charging, and better facial recognition, and I don't like the design at all. On the other hand, I read a lot of comments about "I stay with my S24 Ultra." ...I mean...duh? It's a 1,300 dllrs phone, they are not to change year after year, they are to attract a different audience or for people who do need to update their phone. Of course, everyone does what they want with their money.

  • @FrancisSyCoCo

    I'd give everyone an advise, as every start of the year, treat your Ultra/premium phones from last year as a flagship one, meaning, treat it like it is still the latest or newest phone from them, because really, an s24U, or say iphone16pm, are still very powerful regardless if they are two gen old.

    I switched from S21 Ultra which i dropped and broke the screen. I was thinking to get S25 ultra, but its so expensive. I decided to go for S24 Ultra which i got on discount for about 1000 dollar + free galaxy buds 3. I was actually highly amazed how good this phone is and how much of switch it was from S21. The battery is outrageously good. Like i dont even drain 40 percent of it all day. My s21 was always at 15-20 at the end of the day. Its fast and very smart. Absolutely love it. S25 looks nice etc, but aint paying almost 1700 dollar for a phone. I actually will get second hand Samsung S10 ultra tab in pretty much new shape. So i get ultra tab and ultra phone for s25 money. I think buying phone on release this day is the dumbest mistake you do. Essentially paying double the money of S24 ultra to get probably 5 percent better phone when the same phone will half the price in a year. S25 will be worth it in a year when S26 is about to be released.

    trading my s23u in for the s25u. looking forward to the flat screen, the curve was a little meh for me because it's inaccessible for drawing/writing/cropping, better performance, better camera/video (for my business), aaand my s23u has been stuttering a bit. apps freeze when they open, phone locks up and i have to restart it, things don't load as quick as they use to, my s-pen pops out of the slot sometimes. could be a me issue, but i never had these issues with the S21U or even the note10.

    This is exactly the reason why I left apple after iphone 3, 5, 8 and 12. The dynamic island was the straw that broke my back. Rarely anything new, insane prices. They think they can sell anything to a loyal customer.
    Currently using s23 ultra. I really, really would have liked to get the newest ultra but dont like the route their taking with boxier design and stripping the pen. Kinda reminds me of apple all over...
    But what to do? Oneplus13 or just wait another year?!

    I like your reviews I just subscribed. I have the 24 ultra and I won't upgrade this phone till the bluetooth comes back to the pen and they do away with the hole at the top of the screen if they do that ill upgrade. No reason for the hole anymore. By the way after having this phone for 9 months I had to send it back to Samsung because the motherboard went bad. It is running perfect again. Turn around time was about 5 days great service from the factory.

      The OnePlus 13 is amazing, but you're not really rewarding Samsung when you buy them either renewed or new old stock on Amazon, Samsung isn't making anything. And some people will want a Samsung no matter what, as you've seen. But I do love that OnePlus 13.

      Western companies in general sell u overpriced things pretty toxic attitude.
      The new subscription price for example is based on how open ai does things and not deepseek meaning supporting them is a disservice to ur own resources and outlook for the future they don't deliver value they lean more towards extraction in a inefficient and wasteful way the logic behind their devices and software is messed up one way or the other...
