Totally agree, do not buy. You get a better phone & $400 cheaper price for the great S24 ultra.🤷🏾♂️. Its the same darn phone people, at a much cheaper price. Or you can trade in ur s24 Ultra & pay out of pocket $400 for this S25 ultra 🤦🏾♂️
@Naim-Bey just be careful with samsung....I bought from them because they had the 1tb option(I like over doing when paying so I want to get my money worth🤣)but they were $800 lower for trade in then at&t....I purchased outright and then noticed my order from Samsung didn't include the ear buds for $14.98...I called and basically they told me to pound sand and if it wasn't in order there was nothing they can do...they did say cancel order and reorder to get promotion....which was a joke....but will still love the phone.
The S Pen Bluetooth for remote shutter was important for me and the S Pen Pro isn't available in the USA only the creators edition.Will the creators edition work for remote camera?
checked it and the bestbuy wesbsite reads up to 900 not 950 as of 1/23/25 Even if I subtract the 200 gift card from the total its still 142.29 more with the device i am trading in if going through best buy just for the phone. Through samsung Im getting phone and tablet for 995 instead of 1337 or 1137 with gift card deducted at bestbuy. Clearly samsung website is the better choice for me
I tried the link amd didn't get the credit. I also didn't get the $50 reservation credit. The phone should be $299, or let me use another $300 for accessories. And if you add up what is shown in the video, you aren't getting all of the original $1200 either. 900 plus the 120 for the memory upgrade to 512gb, plus another 130 for accessories is $1150. Where is the rest of the money?
for those of you having issue, make sure your cart is empty, and then close the browser down. Then come back here and click his link again and see if that helps you. Ive noticed some things about their website and that has been something I have had to do myself. If that doesnt work, I would suggest trying a completely different browser or else clearing your cache. Dealing with their website and their customer service reps gets me so damn heated that I wonder why I just dont wait and get it later somewhere else at times.
Even though I did reserve my preorder the $50 credit did not show up when I created my order. I watched your video and clicked on the link you provided and it added it this time. I went back in and cancelled my order then used your link to place a new order.
I am so disappointed. From my S10+ a realy need a phode... NO better new display, NO 16Gigs of RAM I counted on, NO better battery, No BT on the S pen, NO higher IP rating, NOT realy better cameras... WTF? I realy wanted to buy it, instead I am now considering whatever....???
I agree , it's disgraceful cost cutting by Samsung , I liked the old days when every year Samsung would strive to add new hardware features apart from chipset and cosmetics . The proper galaxy note with dedicated eye scanner , , heart rate sensor , dedicated led notification sensor , SD card , 3.5 mm Headphone Jack , the Bixby button , and let's not forget all the accessories in the box including spare various nibs soft and hard for the Bluetooth SPen . The S25 Ultra is just an even more watered down galaxy model that Samsung charges an arm and a leg for. Samsung phones are becoming more irrelevant every year .
@joshbrown9843 The S-Pen is down grade. Losing the bluetooth and the battery function, back to basic first generation of S-Pen. Meaning losing the remote camera shutter.
I'm so disappointed in this phone. I have bought at least 1 new Samsung phone every year for more than 20 years, ever since I bought the SGH-V205. I've owned a new Note every year, a new Fold every year since release, and every Ultra. I buy a new Samsung Tablet and TV every 2 years. I have all Samsung Samsung Major Appliances. The S25U is a skip, for me. I find nothing about it compelling. This direction Samsung has chosen, it's the opposite of what has inspired my previous brand loyalty. I will be exploring new options for my slab phone this year, and other typically defaulted to Samsung brand purchases in the future. I hope there are others like me, and Samsung feels it on their bottom line, quickly. Mostly, I hope they reverse this new course ASAP. They'll need to do more than bring back full S-Pen functionality, for me. A better battery, faster (wireless) charging, back to square design, maybe a Samsung.com exclusive blue color again, those would be an acceptable minimum. Maybe the Fold 7 will have an "ultra" model this year, with all those things including a siloed S-Pen and 16GB of RAM. If so, that could be their saving grace, but I'd guess the chance chances of that are pretty slim.
GOSH! Like almost totally NO improvement from S24Ultra. Even the RAM, Battery & Charging Speed are the same since S23 Ultra. Camera specs are like VIVO's 2 year's ago specs. Storage speed frozen in UFS4.0? C'mon man, even China phones have 4.1 already!
Saki I have question for you sir I did pre-order s25 ultra will the samsung spen pro work on s25 ultra for shutter and camera bt and will it pair to phone I thought you said that samsung said yes it would I'm just confirming it thank you
safe to say I'm keeping my s24 ultra. no battery upgrade, spen doesn't have Bluetooth, no 16gb ram, no 1 inch sensor after 6 iterations still the same main sensor size, no game interpolation, super resolution is non adjustable (they call it the pro scaler and only works on movies) only ultadwide, design and new chip is upgraded. everything else could have been just a software upgrade.
Every year they try to make the phone less weight with less features , took away the SD card slot to say to make the phone light, was not true at all, with better battery, now got rid of something they said , people hardly use, must be spying on us, liker always, and now watch the sales and demands for the S24 ULTR jump and the S25 ULTRA fall, Sorry Samsung, lost my sale big time, being greedy get you know here, but hope it come back the Bluetooth s-pen and the SD card slot,
Bro I Thought To Buy This New Phone But Now When I Watched This Video My Mind Changed To Iphone Because How Can Samsung Remove This Cool Feature And What Is The Advantage Of ULTRA paying $1299?
I dont know why but this S25 Ultra looks more like the bigger version of A series phone. Gone the boxier looks of S23/S24 Ultra those looked more better.
Saki i have a question i have a s24 ultra with Verizon it keeps telling me i have a update but when I try to install it it only goes to about 8 percent then it says failed. What's up with that and what else can I do to try to install it. Thanks I'll wait to hear from you
I don't really understand why people are crying about Bluetooth on the s pen honestly who gives a shit i mean clearly some people do and also comparing phone's thst are only 1 year apart clearly if your going to get a new phone wvery year your not going to see huge upgrades but for people on the s23 and below its obviously going to make more sense
Already went through T-Mobile today got $1,000 for my s23 ultra and my monthly payment's only $17.50 and I also like having the protection protection 360 it's called definitely worth the 18 bucks I went with the 512 version
I own the s24 ultra but i will upgrade to the s25 ultra because of the shape round corner and also for the improvements. The s24 corner for about 2 minutes its like a blabe touching in my hand . And the s25 has a better grip. So s25ultra was the one that i was waiting for.
@Redeyereaper8 works with existing lines as well. I paid for the next upgrade program and was able to trade in early. Traided s23 ultra and plus and got $2600 in credit towards 2 s25 ultras. Quite the deal considering how much was still owed on the old onea.
@andrecheats I actually canceled order and bought directly from Samsung....paid outright for unlocked and 1tb model....so after investigating you are right....but stayed with my carrier.....still got phone at a great price and deal with also accessories.
@Redeyereaper8 exactly what i did.... I ended up paying 724$ for a Galaxy Ultra 25 with a case and a Galaxy Watch 7. I'm using Astound Broadband, they give u a year free off unlimited mobile service with their home internet. I'm paying 70$ a month for unlimited mobile and 1 gigabit home internet, good deal
► Buy the S25 Ultra here: bit.ly/3Wwh6Zr
(exclusive $50 Samsung Credit + up to $300 Instant Samsung Credit + up to $900 in trade-in)
I still have the Note 9… is it available for trade in?
Where is the $50 credit applied? I didn't see it itemized.
It bundles it all in, doesn't show itemized.
@tlg6339 I think they treat us like we're dumb.
Thanks for sharing all the updates and your knowledge
Totally agree, do not buy. You get a better phone & $400 cheaper price for the great S24 ultra.🤷🏾♂️. Its the same darn phone people, at a much cheaper price. Or you can trade in ur s24 Ultra & pay out of pocket $400 for this S25 ultra 🤦🏾♂️
I traided in my s23 ultra and got s25 ultra at no charge through at@t
And how exactly is it "better"?
@Naim-Bey just be careful with samsung....I bought from them because they had the 1tb option(I like over doing when paying so I want to get my money worth🤣)but they were $800 lower for trade in then at&t....I purchased outright and then noticed my order from Samsung didn't include the ear buds for $14.98...I called and basically they told me to pound sand and if it wasn't in order there was nothing they can do...they did say cancel order and reorder to get promotion....which was a joke....but will still love the phone.
They removed the bluetooth S-Pen ? come on samsung... WTF ... now i can not take pictures with the pen? .. bypass
Apparently the AI becomes subscription based at the end of 2025 .
yup
Dont need AI
$400 on top of trade in is not worth it even though it might seem that way. Love my 24u. Phone still is very snappy
Its only 1 year old. Dont act like its amazing its being snappy....
The S Pen Bluetooth for remote shutter was important for me and the S Pen Pro isn't available in the USA only the creators edition.Will the creators edition work for remote camera?
Best Buy is doing a better deal, up to $950 off and a $200 gift card with purchase.
checked it and the bestbuy wesbsite reads up to 900 not 950 as of 1/23/25 Even if I subtract the 200 gift card from the total its still 142.29 more with the device i am trading in if going through best buy just for the phone. Through samsung Im getting phone and tablet for 995 instead of 1337 or 1137 with gift card deducted at bestbuy. Clearly samsung website is the better choice for me
Yes my s24 ultra is still better
I will have yo purchase the s25 ultra as is. My trade in value for my s10 plus is under $100
Trade in through your carrier youll get more i got 1000 for my s22 plus from att @leomendez8013
The S 25 ultra is a huge downgrade without the Bluetooth S pen imo.
@mikldude9376 the Spen with Bluetooth connectivity is another level I stay with my s24 ultra 😂
s24 is just a improved s25 Ultra. Just pre-ordered!
Does the S Pen Pro fit into the slot on the S25 Ultra? How much does it cost?
I tried to order the s25 plus I didn't see my $50 Samsung credit
Didn't get mine either.
Might have to wait till samsung emails you letting you know you can preorder.
Use he's link on this video it works
I tried the link amd didn't get the credit. I also didn't get the $50 reservation credit. The phone should be $299, or let me use another $300 for accessories.

Honestly in my opinion these colors sucks really bad this year
Where does it show or when do we get our $50 credit? I already preorder my S25 Ultra.
Does your link work in Australia?
I have s22 ultra will upgrading s24 ultra s25 ultra don't espress me so much
Even though I did reserve my preorder the $50 credit did not show up when I created my order. I watched your video and clicked on the link you provided and it added it this time. I went back in and cancelled my order then used your link to place a new order.
CARFULL Samsung, if you take away the pen 🖊, you will loose the ONLY hardware feature that differentiates this phone from an iphone.
I am so disappointed. From my S10+ a realy need a phode... NO better new display, NO 16Gigs of RAM I counted on, NO better battery, No BT on the S pen, NO higher IP rating, NOT realy better cameras... WTF? I realy wanted to buy it, instead I am now considering whatever....???

Same with me regret buying the Tab s10 ultra
Uh.... the phone is better in every way. No BT on the pen is the only headscratcher. Saying the S10+ is equal to the w5 ultra is just... false
Waiting for the S26 Ultra for the S-Pen feature back, on top of everything else.
Wym

your link only give me $110 Samsung credit.
I'm upgrading to the S25 ultra from my Note20 ultra 🥰
congrats
I WILL TAKE YOUR WORD. I WILL NOT BUY THE S25U. IT SUCKS.😂😂😂😂. LOTS ARE DISAPPOINTED.
I have att they gave me $1000 for my S22 ultra towards my trade for the S25 ultra. Only added $8.24 month to my bill
Just preordered mine... traded an S24+ 128gb in
Got the S25 Ultra 512gb, a Galaxy Watch 7 44mm and a phone case, 725$
Good deal.
GOSH! Like almost totally NO improvement from S24Ultra. Even the RAM, Battery & Charging Speed are the same since S23 Ultra. Camera specs are like VIVO's 2 year's ago specs. Storage speed frozen in UFS4.0? C'mon man, even China phones have 4.1 already!
Saki I have question for you sir I did pre-order s25 ultra will the samsung spen pro work on s25 ultra for shutter and camera bt and will it pair to phone I thought you said that samsung said yes it would I'm just confirming it thank you
We can spend the credit later i assume correct?
safe to say I'm keeping my s24 ultra. no battery upgrade, spen doesn't have Bluetooth, no 16gb ram, no 1 inch sensor after 6 iterations still the same main sensor size, no game interpolation, super resolution is non adjustable (they call it the pro scaler and only works on movies) only ultadwide, design and new chip is upgraded. everything else could have been just a software upgrade.
Every year they try to make the phone less weight with less features ,
took away the SD card slot to say to make the phone light, was not true at all, with better battery,
now got rid of something they said , people hardly use, must be spying on us, liker always,
and now watch the sales and demands for the S24 ULTR jump and the S25 ULTRA fall,
Sorry Samsung, lost my sale big time,
being greedy get you know here,
but hope it come back the Bluetooth s-pen and the SD card slot,
Bro I Thought To Buy This New Phone But Now When I Watched This Video My Mind Changed To Iphone Because How Can Samsung Remove This Cool Feature And What Is The Advantage Of ULTRA paying $1299?
I dont know why but this S25 Ultra looks more like the bigger version of A series phone.
Gone the boxier looks of S23/S24 Ultra those looked more better.
Naahhh.. sticking to s24U... once they took away the Bluetooth s pen gestures, it was the final straw.. Let's see what S26U brings
Saki i have a question i have a s24 ultra with Verizon it keeps telling me i have a update but when I try to install it it only goes to about 8 percent then it says failed. What's up with that and what else can I do to try to install it. Thanks I'll wait to hear from you
I don't really understand why people are crying about Bluetooth on the s pen honestly who gives a shit i mean clearly some people do and also comparing phone's thst are only 1 year apart clearly if your going to get a new phone wvery year your not going to see huge upgrades but for people on the s23 and below its obviously going to make more sense
Bluetooth is removed from S-Pen, can you make a photo with the S25Us S-Pen now?
Already went through T-Mobile today got $1,000 for my s23 ultra and my monthly payment's only $17.50 and I also like having the protection protection 360 it's called definitely worth the 18 bucks I went with the 512 version
I own the s24 ultra but i will upgrade to the s25 ultra because of the shape round corner and also for the improvements. The s24 corner for about 2 minutes its like a blabe touching in my hand . And the s25 has a better grip. So s25ultra was the one that i was waiting for.
Too late with s22 ultra trade in, student discount and rakuten cashback its pretty cheap.
Saki....any idea why update 15 to Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra keeps failing? Three times it's failed so far today.
It doesn't work for me
Now question is should i go for s25 ultra or s24 ultra .. Debating
You get more discounts and credit if you get s25
Both suck!
You can't trade in Google pixel 9 / 9 pro 😢
I am using s23 ultra but i am happy with my phone
Gonna be the best phone samsung have made more powerful than all the rest below it s23 s24 are so yesterday 😂
the s24 ultra pen cannot be connected to the s25 to use the bluetooth functionality isnt it? Like replace the old one for the new one
Will this work? Swapping the pens?
But we can't buy the phone on instalments 😢😢😢
You can if you choose a carrier from the list.
Yes you can....Samsung Finance is Affirm now
I'll stay on my Z Fold 6 for sure
Anyone know how to get a $50 credit? I don't see it anywhere after logging into my Samsung account.
Use the link in this video. It works
They are not the same price. I've ch3cked. The 512gb is more expensive
Whats amazing if you add a line with at&t you will get phone for $0....got 1300 from att for my old z fold 4 and I get to keep my z fold 5
But they make u sign a contract, better off buying the phone unlocked and going to the cheapest carrier
@Redeyereaper8 works with existing lines as well. I paid for the next upgrade program and was able to trade in early. Traided s23 ultra and plus and got $2600 in credit towards 2 s25 ultras. Quite the deal considering how much was still owed on the old onea.
@andrecheats I actually canceled order and bought directly from Samsung....paid outright for unlocked and 1tb model....so after investigating you are right....but stayed with my carrier.....still got phone at a great price and deal with also accessories.
@Redeyereaper8 exactly what i did.... I ended up paying 724$ for a Galaxy Ultra 25 with a case and a Galaxy Watch 7. I'm using Astound Broadband, they give u a year free off unlimited mobile service with their home internet. I'm paying 70$ a month for unlimited mobile and 1 gigabit home internet, good deal
Traded in my old GS22U towards the GS25U and got the 1TB version. I cannot wait to get this in my hands!
😂😂
Thank you for the lowdown
"HOLY SH*T!"
was a how to video of using his code to get money off.
i was expecting to hear something about the phone.
Watch my other 2 videos?
1 - th-cam.com/video/LDNmtxwnVME/w-d-xo.html
2 - th-cam.com/video/mqSLurAMek0/w-d-xo.html

Thanks
THANKS MINE IS ON THE WAY
bro why my dad has the s23
The S23 is a great phone. What are you on about?
😂 what a stupid clickbait video title 👎👎
1299 - 900 = 399. 399 - 50(credit) = 349. We should get a $50 credit.
