You go 16 to avoid having to get an external monitor, not for battery lol

I'll rather have the Bluetooth shutter on S-pen than all the AI bloatware.

isnt the second rule of any laptop, not to use heavy software on battery? first being never under no circumstances let the battery run out?

I feel this phone seems pretty good for what it is. People are complaining about innovation. But phones these days are so op. I have a S24U and would not bother to upgrade to another phone for several years, unless the foldable phones become cheaper. Yes, they could have kept the BT for the stylus but c'mon for everyone upgrading from a S10 or S20, this phone is like the future with a 2 day battery, good camera selection, long software support and a chipset that can keep up with apple silicone.

The S25 Ultra has received a lot of criticism and rightly so. Yes the S25 Ultra should have had much more hardware upgrades, but honestly apart from the 6000mAh battery🔋 on Chinese Android smartphones, what are the hardware upgrades that justify smartphones like the OnePlus 13 and Pixel 9 Pro XL having seen price increases, or smartphones like the Oppo Find X8 Pro, Vivo X200 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max being as expensive if not more expensive than the S25 Ultra 🤔 Not to mention the fact that in reality and despite the Galaxy's slightly higher Msrp compared to others, thanks to deals, trade-in, careers deals, gifts and other coupons, in North America and Europe (the markets really targeted by the Galaxy S) people pay much less for a Galaxy than for an iPhone counterpart and even for a Vivo, OnePlus, Oppo... 🤷🏽‍♂️

When the sponsored case ad shows more innovation than the main video 😂

S21 ultra was not a brick at all. And its rings didn't fall out. I think vivo, oppo and one plus have more to offer at the moment. Samsung is lazy and relies heavily on trying to make an alternative iPhone. 😁 I miss the good old Samsung

Pixel phones are way better than Samsung phones.

I can take my camera off also on my s23 ultra lmao 🤣 does that mean it fake??

Previous design was astonishing. 25U So dumb design.

Shame on Samsung for building two great phones back to back. S24 is a great phone S25U it's that but better. It's kind of once you use you get. Watching reviews isn't going to give you the feel.

*Misleading clickbait title.* Samsung's flagships are now increasingly becoming iphone lite. If a person wanted iphone, they can buy the real iphone instead. Removing features and making marginal software improvements is not what the users expect from Samsung.

My favorite phone. Wish we'd get it with updated specs.

I really sad lol second player dream to be 1st 🥇 he is not sure for second place some Chinese guy should be

You never take away what given for free ,most people like my sister never used s-pen as a stylus but as a photo snapper .taking away most unique think about ur s-pen to make more sell at watch and what not is nothing else but greed Also JUST BECAUSE UR TAKE IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER DOESN'T ALWAYS MEANT IT IS COOL , U R JUST BEING RETARED .

Hahahahahahhahahahahahhahahah

Misunderstanding yeah this phone should be China phone with cheaper prices, 1300 selling points =name, Sd x elite chips from other company 😂

Great video! Do you plan on making a detailed display analysis on this phone? Especially comparing with the S24 Ultra and its grainy display

I bought the 25 Ultra, and even I don't think it's misunderstood. Samsung released a phone with only a couple of major updates, and is justifiably being criticized for it.

No amount of speech you and other reviewers make will change that the fact this particular phone is BS and that most reviewers and Samsung think customers are stupid. As a long time Samsung user deep in its mobile ecosystem with even the TV, laptop and fridge to boot. I'd had enough of this tomfoolery and I've left them for honor V3 ( not as smooth or seamless i'll admit, but its exciting, they're being proactive, taking initiative and pushing the boundaries by trying out new things) and possibly others until Samsung finds it's way back and stop sniffing apple butt as even they kept setting the bar lower and they always follow suite. Disgusting 🤮!!!

Glad i bought the s23 ultra at discounted price. Removing the boxy look was a bad move by samsung

That doesn't mean there were no rooms for upgrade. It would cost Samsung nothing to put a 6,000mAh battery 1 inch type sensor Bluetooth S-pen

I'll keep my S22 ultra with a functional PEN.

For me, you were convincing enough. I might consider stealing one.

Trade in with Samsung kinda makes the price point a non thing really also going through your carrier for a phone costs you a small monthly fee. Who pays full retail?

It's 6% lighter as far as I read!! Not substantial 🤷🏼

Samsung s25 ultra could not compete with oneplus 13.

as a customer that has an s25 Ultra on the way now, upgrading from an iPhone 13 pro max, most of the things in videos like this really dont apply and its hard to find any useful information on what to expect when i get the phone after using my iPhone for the past 4 years. I dont care how it compares to the s24, i dont care how little they changed this year, all i care about is whats different and how well theyve done the incremental changes. I always see videos every year saying phones never change year to year, and i dont know why people get so damn pissed that they change very little when thats all technology, small incremental changes until new tech comese out to make a bigger leap and then back to it. Phones, cars, TVs, headphones, everything. all small changes that add up over the years. I personally think this phone is going to be a massive change if youre uograding from either die after 2+ years like myself and MOST of the people buying a new phone are. Most people arent getting the newest phone every single year, time after time.

Selling too hard? You sound like an idiot.

the glazing is unreal how much did they pay you lmao

Flat frame is uncomfortable to hold

Its a simple fact that oneplus 13 gives u 100w fast charging(45w 25u), 16gb(12gb 25u),bigger better battery tech and all this for less than the samsung 25 ultra... Buying the 25 ultra is not a wise decision because u tell samsung that they can sell u inferior hardware for more the definition of a sucker and npc... Not with me this anti consumer behavior should not be rewarded!

I think we understand quite fine. The phone is a rip off.

Eh, this is iterative at best. When the Ultra line first came along, there was genuinely something new in the camera system. The following year, they merged the Note line by adding the stylus which felt like a decent step forward. I think the massive issue now is that these phones no longer have the same weight as the old Note series which was viewed as the ultimate device which could do everything you wanted. Thus phone and the previous few models just feel like Samsung trying to charge as much as they can while stripping features - I guess there are software advances but these tend to trickle down, over the years we've lost things like removable batteries, headphone jacks, expandable storage and now even a fucking battery and Bluetooth in the stylus. You don't even get modern advancements like bigger battery capacities or faster changing speeds so it's starting to feel like this phone just isn't worthy of the whole 'Ultra' name, it's more like something that is the result of cost shavings instead of anything that could actually be considered worthy of a true power user. I have the S22 Ultra and aside from age related battery wear, it's still incredibly competent despite all that I throw at it. I need to see either game changing battery life or some of the older features being added back in before I bother upgrading. The best value upgrade is can forsee currently is a new battery and that's just a depressing state of affairs for the somebody who used to live and breathe tech. Gone are the days where you could actually get a product which met your needs and had the potential to grow with you and your needs, it seems we're stuck with attempts at extracting the maximum amount of our hard earned cash while trying to carefully retain the features which we'll kick off less of a fuss over.

S25 ultra is not misunderstood. It is just that Apple is a very sore loser and all the sheep swalowed its fairy tale once again , all of it. This world is in decadence , what would you expect? Even considering only the snapdragon 8 elite inside the s25 ultra, it is a very worthy upgrade. But it is not that it has only a new SOC. It has premium materials and premium quality in just about every millimeter in the three dimensions. It is a premium product . You may not like some decisions , but that's all about it. Just because Apple says S24 ultra is very good(actually only a small incremental upgrade with an overclocked snapdragon 8 gen 2 , just christened as snapdragon 8 gen 3 for the occasion) , does not mean it is . I am currently on an s23 ultra and would not just buy a new smartphone yet because it is still like new. But if I wanted to buy one , I would consider a great stupidity to buy the s24 ultra. That one was just an attempt from samsung to milk the unsuspecting until it gets its hands on the shiny and goldie lithography of TSMC(n3e). It is also the reason I did not upgrade my old s tablet to the s10(only a worthless snapdragon 8 gen 3 SOC, inside). Facts are facts . Android phones , including Samsung Galaxy S25 ultra are rocking Apple's Ivory Tower really hard. They have proven they can build just as good phones when they have access to all materials equally. The hilarious thing is though , that they do not propose an alternative that is mostly on par with iphones, but an alternative that is in many aspect superior. Yes , apple has an 8 percent lead in single core performance and is still more efficient , but that's 3-4 hours more battery life on what is already a huge battery life 1,5 days of average usage. Except from the above most flagship androids have humiliated Apple who now eats their dust: better multicore performance , bigger RAM, bigger storage, cheaper , better cameras, better AI, significantly superior GPUs, significanlty superior NPUs. Better interface to be used like a desktop replacement. Most of them still offer the charger(yeah like this is the reason we have environmental catstrophe- the definition of stupid since you will buy a new charger anyway at an additional cost). But at Apple they swallowed their tongues. So, if you can't beat them and boast you are faster what do you do? But of course, denigrate them. Find real and imaginary misses and go hard in propaganda.

I traded in my Galaxy S24 Ultra for the 25 Ultra, and I can't wait for it to get here. In my brief hands on time at a local Best buy, the zoom stability is markedly increased. Other than that, I am excited for better battery life and better camera performance. The Bluetooth features of the S-Pen I've never really used, so although it is a downgrade, I don't really care.

I love my S25.

Samsung is the luckiest manufacturer...when ever they came up with lame upgrades these android ytubers gaslight people with such videos....same is the case with Apple but in ios scenario it's only one company...but when one plus or LG does a lame upgrade these people would blast at them. Samsung always get a free pass.. Such a ridiculous upgrade cycle aka downgrade

Reality translation: "It's not the garbage you think it is, it is only misunderstood because it does not compete with any other brand in any aspect be it camera, software, battery, performance, value or features but it costs more than all of them while cutting features" If anyone is willing to accept this gross display of greed and fact thay Samsung knows people are shills, they have no business gasping at Sony Xperia prices since they actually pack everything we used to get in a phone. Oh no wait, the plague has reached Japan, no more adapters in the box! Still better than Samsung.

I'm upgrading from S22 Ultra to S25 Ultra, is it worth it?

This is not a review but rather a kiss ass for samsung ! You are a waste of time, I am unsubscribing.

I appreciate samsung for getting rid of the curved screen , i found out flat sceen is light years more durable than curved ,

Samsung have obviously been round with the cheque books after the first reviews came out.. 😆

It's 1200p, not 1080p...

It's a scam...

S25 ultra is a beast. It is great in everything. No complaints here.

XDA = Samsung Shill.

They keep making excuses. It's pretty incredible to watch.
