Totally agree, it's a shame it's "only" 40k. Best quality tech reviews with based takes 👍

Buddy, a €1299 Ultra phone that is the successor of the best phone of not only its generation, but also its year can not have so many stupid problems. Stop glazing the companies, if a product is bad then it gets treated that way. Trust me, multimillionaire companies won't get their feelings hurt

I couldn't agree more. The problem with tech reviewers most get rid of the previous models. They all need to adjust to the way we the consumer are purchasing our phones. I am loving my s25U coming from my s22U. So many wonderful changes in the user experience.

Probably true up to a point , but at least apple is not taking features away from, and new or not at least apple added the multi function camera button , and look at last years galaxy , look at the previous years galaxy , look at the previous years galaxy before that 😂😂😂😂😂 , I wouldn’t be sooking too much about apple if I was you😊. Take away googles AI from the galaxy , and snapdragons chipset which gave all the performance , gains not Samsung , and all you have is some very slight cosmetics and glue on rings on the camera lenses and a feature taken away on the Galaxy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. A bunch of other Android devices will get the snapdragon chipset , some will have better cameras and still be substantially cheaper , and I wonder if they will be charging a subscription for AI by the end of the year as Samsung has stated it will 😂😂😂😂😂.

Say what what you will about apple. At least they've given their base models new cameras YOY not to mention the cameras on their Pro & Pro Max devices. Samsung hasn't changed anything bro. Wake up.

​@@mikldude9376everything you've been saying is so damn TRUE!!! Thanks for the comments. I wish more ppl were like this. We'd sure have the phone we've all wanted this year.

@mikldude9376 Wow someone got major butthurt 😂

The solution buy the oneplus 13

Some of us still keep our phones for a long time bud , although it’s no longer my carry around , I still use my note 9 at home , which funnily enough has vastly more features than the watered down laughingly named Ultra.

it’s nothing new though , other brands have had similar for years , if I remember correctly the HTC 8 had something similar , it’s really a nothing burger.

@@mikldude9376 If we go by your logic then we will be here for days going over features that existed but the current devices don't have or got watered down as a "nothing burger" ...

Well , some are old as the hills bud , and the brief feature has for years been ignored by most on many brands because people like to do their own thing at their own time table . Even the AI stuff , the on phone stuff can be useful on the phone in day to day , but a lot of the AI is very gimmicky , on looking up information with google , I get Gemini answers even on my note 9 and iPhone , the best AI feature I’ve seen so far is the phone hold feature on my pixel , but I don’t use it that often , and it’s still free , Sammy is threatening to charge a subscription for AI by the end of the year. Personally I miss a lot of the features that were hardware which we no longer have , not to mention the value that came every time you bought a new phone and got accessories in the box with the phone. Those days are gone , you get nothing in the box except a bloody cable , the phone is called ultra , and yet Sammy has taken yet another feature away , and you are paying full price and then some for the privilege . It’s an absolute shit show in my book .

Talking foolishness

The pixel 9pro XL is a damn nice phone. Yet if they don't use the newer battery tech I hope we all come up on them as well? This is the only way these companies are gonna make changes. I do love the pixel experience though.

@ - Everyone has a preference and thats mine :P

That is exactly why people are upset ... the S-Pen thing is just shock and awe ... People are upset that they played it safe and then took a unique feature away (regardless if barely anyone used it) and then promoted a bunch of generic features all devices have or will have. I think Samsung was already afraid of trying brand new tech since the note battery incident and that is why they didn't use it this time. They were already leaks from other people saying that samsung was looking into using the new batteries but ultimately chickened out of it, especially when they had plans to put a custom SD8 Elite in the device that could potentially run hotter (even with the bigger vapor chamber). I believe this was also a time to test the waters for the removing the S-Pen battery to save some money at our expense ... However, given the market feedback you can expect silicon carbon batteries in the S26, maybe a camera upgrade or new tech to tweak it further, a new SD8 Elite gen 2 with another noticeable bump in performance (based on the rumors so far) and a updated design. I think next year they are also trying to release their tri-fold stuff as well ... My one gripe though with all this is that Samsung is not putting enough work into maintining sustained performance for the chipset ... they think slapping a bigger vapor chamber alone wiill fix things; when Oneplus is showing them that isn't enough. PEAK performance <<<< Sustained performance ... Samsung need to rework their vapor chamber to handle proper sustained performance with those overclocked chips otherwise the regular ones will still beat it out.

@@bankaimaster999 Exactly. I think at least the batteries will be included with the S26. Another thing Samsung should have done in One UI 7 is implement the animation mechanism that OPPO and OnePlus use in their systems-it's really, really good and fast. I think that would matter more than just adding a super powerful processor. Also, I found it very strange that the S25 Ultra scored around 2.3M on AnTuTu, while competitors without overclocking or custom chips reached 2.9-3M. That Note incident really seems to have made them hesitant. But come on, it’s been a long time. They invested in foldables, had issues, and still pushed forward, you know? But with this line, they’re acting kind of Apple-ish. 😮‍💨

​@@bankaimaster999I couldn't agree more. I've been saying this since the revolt, after the launch, the Samsung, we'll bring at least a 6000 mAh battery, Bluetooth back. And at least one new camera. Maybe more? I bought the s25U bcz my s22U was given me problems with scrolling after the last update. If not I'd have waited until next year. I must admit this phone is amazing. The loss of weight alone makes a major difference for me. They've done well with animations also. This phone just flies, it's super fast beyond smooth. I seriously can't complain yet. I will because we should've at least gotten 16 GB of Ram and bigger batteries.

@katinasoutherland7693 I had the S21 and chose an A55 to see if a more expensive device was really worth it for me. So far, it’s been great-I even prefer some things on the A55 over the S21. I tried the S25 Ultra in-store, and I really appreciate the display, speed, and One UI 7. It's a wonderful smartphone, no doubt. Competition is strong, and Apple’s loyalty base is insane, while Samsung’s feels more rational. I’d love an S26 Ultra with top-tier market hardware and Samsung’s global ecosystem.

I upgrading from the Note 10plus to the s24 ultra instead. I love the premium look and boxy design and I still will have Spen functionality

I upgraded from the S24 Ultra. My S25 Ultra is so much nicer than my S24U.

It’s called business… You need to understand how it works geez 🙄

The reason they don't do it. Is bcz they would sell the crap out of it for that year. Then nobody would upgrade for the full 7 years. A phone like that would be beyond future proof.

13 mm and 35 mm cam on x200 ultra will both use lyt-818

@@ficopoki164 what the point for those brands doing that ? 🤨 Selling smartphones is a business, not a game. Also, people who want large sensors in their phones can buy a Vivo online.

What's the point of this ass kissing before you even watch
