Samsung Galaxy S25 - Last Of Its Kind?

[@zimranchaudhry1987]

Samsung should scrap the plus variant and add all the camera, performance, increase the resolution of screen to QHD+ and increase charging speed like S Ultra so that it will easier for others to choose which one they want to buy.

S24+ has a 4900 mAh battery and the screen size is 6.7 inches, which 100 mAh less and 0.1 inch less than the S24 Ultra. The S24+ came a bit too close to the S24 Ultra despite the S24+ looks different from the S24 Ultra (much more rounded corners) and lacks the S-Pen support.

This would be terrible for Samsung if this happens. The standard model is competitive, the plus model isn't. It really is the same as the base model, but with bigger battery and screen size, for obvious reasons. I have been saying they should change the plus model up to match almost entirely with the Ultra model, but have these differences: The plus model should have a slightly smaller screen, battery, and no S-pen. Give it the top-notch cameras with the comfort of the rounded design of the phone.

[@Hhhh22222-w]

Yeah but translate the sales of the base model for the price of the plus models, it makes sense why samsung is doing this

This is really a stupid move from Samsung idk what they are thinking. I even think more people tend to go for the vanilla instead of the plus because essentially it's only a little bigger and nothing else

Samsung not offering a compact ultra phone is one of the reasons why I switched to an iphone just recently.

horrible take, the A series is what keeps samsung at the number one spot in sales, i would buy an A55 over the s20 or s21 any day myself, it has warranty more software support, new design philosophy and it's newer so more efficient generally. the A5x and A3x are the best seeling ones overall the A1x is close one just scrap the plus model and make the base one bigger and improve it to leave room for the FE

it would make sense to ax the + variant and make the base model a compromise between the the regular and +, with a medium size screen. the + literally makes no sense because the people buying the non ultra phone do not care about what's better on the + variant compared to base, and the + is probably just too expensive to justify that purchase, so they'll just pick the cheaper no bs flagship phone that isn't the ultra, meanwhile the ultra buyers do not care about the + because it's just not the spec monster they want, in the end (as shown by the graph) people just sit on opposite sides of the spectrum and rarely do you ever see someone carrying a +

What we need is a SMALL GOOD PHONE. They shouldn't be dropping the base S just becaust they think it sells bad due to its size. It's because they essentially make the base S model the smallest and the least decked out device in the lineup. Lower resolution, lower ram, lower charging speed, lower everything. Unless someone is willing to sacrifice every aspect of the phone just for its compact size, they're probably just going to get the plus or the ultra. Just look at iphone. They have the small base phone, bigger base phone, small pro phone, and bigger pro phone. You have an option to choose all the pro features while still having a compact phone. Even google followed along this trend and refreshed their pixel 9 lineup to have 2 size options for the pro variants. Just give us a god damn small S25 ultra

[@Tyson1587]

If they drop the smaller version, I am done with Samsung. I don't want a plus and don't need an Ultra. As it is, there phone bezel chips, and the screen coating wears out fast with many micro scratches. I take care of all my phones and have had to replace 2 already in 8 months under warranty. I miss the Blackberry days. Easy to fix and awesome to use.

[@mt.sefuri3909]

1:36 I mean the idea of eliminating the small size and the plus where they would meet the size in between wouldn't be far off of an idea considering sales are pretty good. The fact that iPhone 16 has gotten bigger too, slowly meeting the size of what the S24 size is currently is an evidence.

I think the Plus and Ultra are pretty similar in size, especially with the new curved corners on the S25 Ultra. I reckon they should make the S25 a bit bigger, like around 6.4 or 6.5 inches, and give it the same specs as the Ultra. Then they could just get rid of the Plus altogether. That way, we'd have two different sizes with top-notch features in both. 👌🏻

[@Hhhh22222-w]

Samsung is doing this cause their A series outsells their S by a lot and the recent A series are on par with their base S series, doing this will push consumers to either buy their A series or their plus and ultra models, Samsung is starting to fell the pinch of having 5 different variants, they got the M, A, S, flip and fold but people are picking more Chinese brands over them, I'm not surprised if they discontinue their flip and fold phones seeing how competitive the offerings are from other brands like Honor, Xiaomi and Vivo

I hope not. I have has the s20, s21, s22, and am currently on s23. didn't get s24 because it was not worth to spend the 400 bucks for no upgrade. I like my s23 too. its still extremely solid. Best phone I've had out of all of them. Yes, the battery life is starting to get worse but its 1.5 years old. I am probably going to upgrade to the s25 if this rumor is true or not due to battery and I'm tight on storage. I hope they keep the base S-series. I personally see more people with the base rather than the plus. What they could do is make it $900 and bring over a couple of the plus features to justify the price increase. I really like the size of the phone. It used to be a massive phone but now small. I cam use it all with only one hand. It fits well in my pocket and isn't a big glass brick.

[@insertnamehere8723]

Dropping the "premium" emphasis on a phone that is - at a huge stretch - far from *premium*, Samsung could drop the nonsensically and pointless FE in favour of positioning the s24 as a budget option for what would otherwise be the s25. I mean, cutting production for another device with marketing, R&D, and manufacturing ultimately would be saving money to invest in making the more streamlined product line better. I never quite understood why Samsung is so adamant on homogonising design language, yet segmenting it so needlessly that most don't care nor asked for the option to their detriment. I guess Samsung may presumably kinda do that in a roundabout way by keeping the FE, but the whole reason behind it just seems pointless as outlined in how it is positioned considering 'FE' is by no means a big seller or for any fans that would have otherwise just bought into the product line it is sharing design language with, but is by far the superior product. I could forgive it if it were a device suitably marketed as a budget device for normal people who don't care about flagships. Nonetheless, the upside to streamlined products is more clarity for less enthusiast-centric audiences and better ease of software rollouts, and maybe even better software optimisation with quicker rollouts to boot.

I think it's a better strategy to have a 2 model S-line up. Have the S24 and S24 Ultra. Basically the S24 taking up all what the Plus had but in a fixed form factor with a competitive price. Then have the Ultra that pushes all boundaries. And then around current day FE launch have an S-FE launch that is similar to the 'new base' S-line but just glasstic back, lesser hardware overall. People that buy S24 now just don't want to pay the price bump to the Ultra and the Plus gives no reasonable upgrade. (Only for some) So in short, they need to settle on a good size, make that the base, scrap the Plus and make the FE a real FE again. And people who truly want a small phone.. well shop elsewhere or maybe give them an option in the A-line up.. honestly those people already have the flip if they think about it. I honestly think they just getting rid off 'the 3rd phone' .. just a 2 phone S-line up and the base will absorb a lot and change a lot. Might also take them a gen or 2-3 to settle on the right size for the 'new base'.

[@jetbz5439]

I think its a bad decision if they remove the base variant. Majority of people really choose plus and ultra because of more additional features. But in the end, as an experienced samsung user, i still prefer compact but high end phones. My last phone from samsung is galaxy note 10 lite. But due to heavy composition of the unit, the display still breaks due to unexpected circumstances. Recently i have xiaomi 12 5g. Its lightweight, compact but high end device. Its highly similar to s8-s9 variant but the only difference is it has multiple camera. The only issue about the phone is thermal management.

[@kalle5548]

Since S is samsungs flagships, they should be just that, drop the ultra, and move the S pen to foldables, S + gets bigger to slide into the S Ultra slot with a 6.8" screen, and all the S Ultra features except the pen, and the normal S gets all the same features, but a smaller screen and battery and remains around 6.2" Then they should bring out a midrange series, say E series, and that is the slightly cut down normal iPhone competitor, also with the number matching the year, then the A series should be midrange with a focus on user experience (take a page out of CMFs page), also matching number, and with an even cheaper phone that just is a phone at a great price, one camera eitherside, and a decent battery, and then foldables also the same number. So the lineup 2026 would be, from top to bottom: Z Fold 26, Z Flip 26, S26+, S26, E26+, E26, A26+, A26, A26 Lite or something like that, a whole lot simpler than today

Thank you for calling out Ice. I've been following him for a long time and used to really like him, but his continuing downward spiral into madness is just sad to watch. Excuse my wording here but he is genuinely one of the most delusional, hypocritical and full of double standards people I know. His leaks are really great, but whenever he is talking opinions I always ignore them because he is just a big China shill (except for when he can make money from affeliate links). Sad stuff. Great video as always!

Totally agree with you. Ice has provided some solid leaks over the years, but yeah, his opinions have definitely become harder to take seriously. It's sad to see how things have changed with him. Appreciate you watching and glad you enjoyed the video!

@@TechTalkTV He didn't use to be like this, I wonder what happened. I think it's similar to Batman going insane after losing the Joker. Donald Trump went insane after losing Joe Biden. Ice Universe went insane after losing DJ Koh 🤣 (hard to blame him, Samsung is also going on a bit of a downfall with TM Roh). Ofc I enjoyed the video, you are one of the few people in this space whose news, opinions and takes I can always seem to trust. Never giving in to brand bias or selling out. That's what I really respect about you and why I've never missed a single video since I started watching you around 2017. I also think it's incredible that you still take time to engage with the comments even after becoming such a large channel. Keep it up man, you're awesome!

@@YarakaOfficial And techtalk and you are big samsung shills. What's your point lol

I don't understand. Why people hate small (now medium) phones so much? everyone I speak with want a small phone, but companies continue to state that even medium-sized phones are not competitive now.

My hands are big. So for a small phone, not my choice. If this rumor is true, I hope that the S26 FE will be given an LTPO screen & stereo speakers tuned by AKG. Maybe it can also give a better build quality. For other specifications, it's considered good in my opinion. As for the price, maybe between the normal model & FE.
