Gemini for a year is a nice offer but that's a pretty steep price once the free trial runs out. I doubt I'll be continuing with it at that point.

[@Danilio.]

Agreed

[@Onepunchmeme1]

It will. Just like machine learning did.

[@shanepatrick641]

Hopefully, no meaningful upgrades and this Ai stuff is marketing nonsense.

[@megamegaO]

How much else can you change these already peak slab phones? If Ai could improve a 5k battery, would you want that or would you want even more battery making your phone a bomb>? Ai, is used behind the scenes, most things we see like image creation, are just bonuses. Most of the Ai work is happening in the background making your phone, cooler, last longer, image/video boost as well, etc. Also, the only thing I'm seeing that ARE changing are the cameras in chinese phones...Something I don't care for. If I wanted a a pro camera, I'd buy an actual camera and not my phone. Photos on recent phones are fine as is, totally fine. By recent I mean S21U Era....it's been peak for a while now.

[@Riyozsu]

AI can improve Android way more than you can imagine. Infact you can't use Android without using any sort of AI.

[@pratyushdeb]

Tech briefings are my favorite videos to watch and get updates on technology advancements in smartphones.

[@jasonc5781]

i've been a samsung user for the longest time but i feel that they're just doing "good enough" for the past 3-4 years now. Software wise, sure its better than alot of their competition but its narrowed to the point where it makes jumping to other platform with silicon-carbon batteries, dedicated ISP and better camera sensors less painful. My S24U will probably be the last samsung for now, lets see if the vivo x200 ultra / X fold 4 pro can win my "flagship phone" position for more than 1 generation.

[@parshakamarsh]

I feel the same way about Samsung, I'm not replacing my S23 Ultra with another phone by them

[@BG4life13]

my question is why are you upgrading every year or 2? Sure back then Samsung was more exciting but the smartphone was cheaper and in it's early stages. Now a phone is an investment, the cost is way more expensive but you are paying for a reliable phone with great software… you don’t need the latest and greatest… Samsung still offers more then most companies but the best part is their flaagships are built to last and they do what they need to on top of the cool stuff you can do with them. phones have matured now 'there’s no need to upgrade every year, hell every 3 years tbh.

[@neilmcguinness4422]

It is a personal thing I guess. Some people just like to have the latest tech, and have the money to finance this easily. Some people like myself are on two year phone contracts, and get to keep a device when it is paid for at the contracts end, and then my carrier gives me a new device of my choice when I renegotiate another two year contract with them. All this includes insurance and damage cover etc. I agree with you in principal though when you say that three years is needed with some manufacturers like Samsung to see any real noticeable upgrade worthiness. As I said though, it is ultimately down to the individual.

[@arjames26]

​@@BG4life13 yeah you are right. Most of the people in the USA don't have a sentimental value of their phone, like for example "this Galaxy S24 ultra was used when (insert life event) happened". They are just wasting their precious money.

[@BG4life13]

@@neilmcguinness4422 don’t get me wrong, if you have the means to upgrade then do it. My thing is if your dropping $1,000 plus on a device, I would be upset if it was outdated a year or 2 later. Lol, which is why I don’t get why people complain about little to no changes year after year.

[@lakshjadwani8475]

Base one as I love compact phones and we’re running out of compact phones… also wish phones would have the notch in the corner like the S10 as it’s less distracting

[@neilmcguinness4422]

I am a man of simple needs. If I am to jump from my S23 Ultra to an S25 Ultra (on contract), all I ask for is better low light video performance, especially at 4K60. No more noisy sky details at night, and I will be happy. It is the only point of criticism I have on my S23 Ultra. The rest of the device is perfect. Oh yes, nearly forgot, I use the Ultrawide in video and photography all the time, so I am excited to see how the new wider aperture 50Mp Ultrawide on the S25 Ultra performs.

Just got an S24U to replace my old Note on which the battery finally kicked it. Love the phone so far, but curious to see how the new chipset performs and if the camera system will be improved on the S25U. Otherwise not really and I plan on keeping the S24U for years, or until the next major upgrade/refresh to the Ultra line. Maybe S27U or beyond? Free Gemini for a yr is cool but seriously doubt many will continue after. Not a fan of the whole subscription model the industry seems to be turning to in general..

[@ccotunai]

That is not how upscaling works. It upscales a rendered image to a higher resolution, to balance performance and image quality. It will not reduce the file size in and of itself.

[@JaimeRiveraTech]

Eh, right. The result is that you don't need the 4k image, which intrinsically means the file will be smaller 😉

[@howyoudurrinhunneh]

Im concerned the Switch 2 will release already under powered. Not that it will affect sales at all.

[@angelestupinan7302]

It’s always a pleasure to see you Jaime. Thank you for keeping us updated!

[@MarcoBeSomething]

I like the idea of a 16E but if it’s basically a amped up 14 while the 14 is selling that’d be a bit weird. To me the naming implies within the same generation so it should share a build similar to the 16s but then what do you take away from it? That’s tuff to answer because you don’t want it to be too similar, maybe the same reported build but based off the 15 instead with the 16s chip, then there’s overlap again because it’s only benefit over the base 15 would be the higher ram for Apple Intelligence.

[@samsungblack2]

my S10+ is on its last leg (battery concerns) Is it advisable to switch to S25+ or is it more practical to settle for S24U?

[@StaticPlaya]

I'm waiting for the Ultra but I'm interested in seeing what the slim has to offer as the s pen isn't an essential for me. I can't wait to see what samsung has up their sleeves on the 22nd.

[@koreappinesmusic]

No iPhone SE, iPhone will be the base model, iPhone Air as midrange, & iPhone Pro as Flagship. They will do the same thing in their iPad lineups to iPhone like there's no iPad SE.

[@zaraabbas1910]

You're one of my favorite tech analysts/critics. You're fun too, so I never miss your videos. Like you i love the Samsung S ultra series, the S pen, and Samsung's overly smart keyboard. I love it the swiping and the accuracy it offers, as I don't type. I think Samsung could attract even more people to it's devices if it makes them slimmer/thinner, battery efficient and loud for entertainment. Samsung phones are already beautifully premium with unusual graphics and camera improvements. As opposed to iPhones, Samsung needs to improve its marketing to make its devices glamorous and designer appealing. What do you think?

[@RobertTowell]

I am enjoying the current format. I think an improvement could be to add time stamps for the subjects.

[@TFG1Mike]

I love the way that you give the news Jaime it is informative and so fun! I think I sit on one of your other recent tech briefing videos that I am not a Samsung design fan until they change that design and give us something else. I don't know what that something else is but I need more design wise from their phones then. Anything else at this point.

[@kingfisher111]

s25ultra has to prove itself considerably superior over the s24ultra, for me to spend money on it. Otherwise, i like the squarish looks of the 24ultra and its features, plus the reduced pricing once the 25 launches.

[@megamegaO]

It won't...but knowing Samsung they'll do lucrative deals for 24-22u owners...that's what they usually do every year to get more numbers up from their current demographic

I have the Z Fold 5 and plan to wait for the Fold 7. My last Ultra was the S22, and while I think the S25 Ultra will be spectacular, I don't think I'll go back to the slab phone anytime soon. On a side note, yearly upgrades need to be tempered with the fact that u'll only get incremental hardware and software updates.

They need to put a little more focus on the base model s25, so it doesn't feel fast lesser than the ultra because they are all flagship devices. Already the plus is getting some Ultra features already, so should the s25 too.

[@tomnel555]

Hi from Romania!! Happy new year!!

[@XtremeBG]

Of course the S10e is my favorite phone, and favorite on many people including you. I can't find a new device to change it, and I hold on to it, for almost 6 years now .. I want that capacitive fingerprint senson on the side power buton, along with the same size and vibrant color options such as mine - canary yellow. But there isn't one. (and no, the battery is not problem, you just have to change it every 2/3 years, and also my usage isn't big, it's medium I would say, and I charge the battery only once per day.)

My most expensive phone was a whole whopping 200 dollars (converted from local currency) and i dont really see why people buy flagship phones, i use each phone for 2 or 3 years then buy a new one

[@Dac_DT_MKD]

There are many factors. Personally, I buy flagship phones due to mainly the Camera(s) and overall the higher specs, which enable me to use them for longer periods. I now use the S20 FE that I bough almost 4 years ago (but unfortunately with the Exynos chip and no 5G), which due to that chip, it starts to lag these days. But the cameras are still pretty good for taking high quality pictures and videos in most lighting conditions.

As much of a Samsung fan boy I've been (currently have s24 ultra), I think I'm being turned onto One Plus more and more and the 13 is looking to be great. Especially at the lower price, you're not paying for the name/brand as much like you are with Samsung. I've found myself not needing the S pen, being that using a pen is way more practical on a tablet. The s24 ultra is very nice, but too dang heavy and boxy for me.

I'm looking forward to the S25+ and the Ultra, because it's time for me to upgrade my almost 4-year-old S20 FE (the 4G Exynos version). Once they came out, I'll look deeply on which one to get, the S25+ or the S25 Ultra.

[@Kiobao]

Same im waiting for the full announcement since im uncertain between s25+ and s25u. I sorta prefer a smaller phone thats easier to use one handed or isnt too awkward one handed but i also dont care about having the pen too much however the shape of the ultra is more enticing to me. I also enjoy the cutting edge now ,knowing it can last and just having the phone for 5+ years. So i get a feeling the 25+ will be more for me but waiting to see. That said these dont seem to be much more than incrimental so they may feel slightly underwhelming to me but still better than my pixel 5.

[@Dac_DT_MKD]

@@Kiobao I've been a Samsung customer since 2016, when I got the Galaxy Core for a brief time and then got the Galaxy S7.

I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and ever since iOS 17 came out it’s only been a frustrating experience. The bugs and anti-features (like the new gallery) made me wanna buy either the pixel 9 pro or normal S25. Apple used to want to please customers but now it feels like they don’t care.
