1:30 the S25 looks blurry compared to the S24

[@jaekgarcia9803]

It's not. I've seen it in person.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Softer picture

[@sidha22]

Because S24 does aggressive sharpening.

[@jennifergala]

Thank you Aaron. GREAT REVIEW. I am waiting for mine it says is ready to ship. You guys are much faster than us here in Canada. I got the blue too. Thx again.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Thanks Jennifer, hope you get yours soon! Blue is nice :)

[@RoHan-83]

Serious question: why is Samsung not able to fix the horrible shutter speed for years now? Apple never had it(? at least on my iPhones which started with iPhone 7), Chinese flagships don’t have it, not sure about Pixel phones, but I think they don’t have it. Why is a freakin mega corp like Samsung not able to fix that? Basically if you like taking pictures of your kids or pets, don’t get a Samsung phone, at least not the ultras

[@lbeetech]

Maybe because it's not an issue...

[@RoHan-83]

@ it is and it’s not a secret. Samsung Ultras are one of the worst choices for pics of moving objects.

[@lbeetech]

@RoHan-83 It's a cellphone after all...

[@RoHan-83]

@@lbeetech not an excuse if others do that better, especially not a good one in that price range

[@lbeetech]

@RoHan-83 Samsung phone cameras released the shutter when you let the button go. People want everything to work like the iPhone. It's not an iPhone...

[@Ludonn]

Thank you for writing a review and mentioning a part about the audio, that's something I always appreciate, and you can definitely tell the difference. For me, the latest iPhones are the ones that sound the best overall when it comes to the speaker. I'd love to know if you could do an audio test comparing different brands for both microphones and speakers sometime soon :)

[@aaronloudnwireless]

No problem! I’ll keep that in mind..

[@Tomogeny]

I'm so glad they fixed the processing and now go for a more contrasty image. My main gripe with phone cameras the past 5 years is that it's all about bringing EVERYTHING in the midtones, not allowing shadows or highlights to exist to pretend there's more 'detail', but they just brought up the shadows to the lower midtones. Pixel is also guitly of this, making everything look flat. Samsung fixing this is a major selling point for me, and I don't think they'll push this to older phones because people don't want massive changes after they have bought something and if people would like it, it would demotivate people from buying the S25 ultra.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Yup! Saves you time from having to color correct in post.

[@derekw9358]

This phone is good enough for ppl has been using their current phone for at least 5-6 years. This phone is definitely a big upgrade then. Samsung when it comes to software they are much more considerable and mature compared to its competitors. So that should be fine..

[@aaronloudnwireless]

👍👍👍

[@TheYawky]

Thanks Aaron for being the only person I have seen talk about the bluetooth codecs. No Snapdragon sound once again from Samsung is very frustrating, lets hope the new Xperia are good this year.

[@Gurenn83]

Samsung now has their own codec. Samsung Seamless Codec (SSC). That is what they are using for the Buds 3 Pro and non-Pro.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

You’re welcome :)

[@jaekgarcia9803]

I have an S24 Ultra. I'm sure the new software will trickle down to other models several weeks after the S25 launch. So I'm in no rush to upgrade my current device.

[@kondor7]

Upgrade are minors if you have a S24 ; upgrading a year old phone is overkilled

[@aaronloudnwireless]

It will happen eventually

[@Wasp-yl6uv]

buy this if your phone is 3yrs-4yrs older. upgrading phones every year is not worth it compared 10-20 years ago, where phone releases every year really got huge updates and innovation

Hi mate Appreciate your videos Are the speaker of s25 ultra better than s23ultra and 16 pro max.

[@pradeepnagila2651]

Thanks for being honest.I was waiting for that 8 elite. The only reason samsung increased vapour chamber is because 8 elite is a very hot pot when it comes to any n i mean any stress even in normal processing. And with just 12gb RAM and all those AI pricessings on background s25ultra will cook fried rice in daily basis. I was waiting for this conformation on s25ultra and man you are the only one who mentioned and talked about it. My s24Ultra stays.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

No problem! Funny that I’m the only one. It seemed pretty obvious 🤷‍♂️

[@bodoknudsen5450]

[@clarenceoveur9497]

I really hope Samsung doesn't intentionally limit the performance of One UI 7 on previous-gen devices like the S24 and S23 just to push users toward upgrading to the S25.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Hope so!

May consider it just so my phone holds value + they are having good deals (I have the S23 Ultra).

Getting S24 as AI is a dumb gimmick and there is no Bluetooth in the SPen in S25.

Yeah, because u can use galaxy watch or galaxy ring

[@tpdtopcop2010]

I want to get out of the apple ecosystem into the android realm for awhile. I have a 16 pro max now not trading in however. Should i go with S 24 ultra 512 gb as I have found several new phones for $999 or S 25 ultra along with their promos for $1299? I do like the S24 square frame and S pen possibilities, as the 25 rounded corners remind me of the iphone. Thoughts?

[@NviGWarren]

I would get the 1299 deal since your not trading.

[@South_Central_Southsea]

At this point, I feel Samsung has become Apple. And this is the reason why I left Apple after the 3gs. Id rather keep my phone with the Bluetooth pen. The Ai software will be available on all phones and except that, its an upgrade on the processor and screen, cam which isn't even the best on the market. I can't blame these youtubers trying to make money off promoting as that is what they are paid to do. However, people believing the hype is only making Samsung more lazy and not the innovative company I fell in love with when I first switched over. I will now look at all options on the market.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Indeed there are tons of interesting options now. You can consider the new Pixel phones too

[@South_Central_Southsea]

@aaronloudnwireless yes, I have but I'm not in a rush as there has been nothing groundbreaking in a while so will hold fire until I think someone deserves my money.

[@slaynnyt8130]

I still like the regular sized s23 / s24 a lot more over the ultra variant. Way easier to use one-handed and fits nicely in the pocket.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Then you should look at the regular S25. It’s super light

[@oryamkedem6520]

I'd say one more year. If 25 wasn't my favorite number I would have waited for the s26u. I wait every 5 years(i have the s21u.)

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Imo only worth jumping for the AI features and the 7 year update. Camera… depends. Are you happy with its camera?

[@1981LAB]

I loved my S22 ultra best phone I've ever owned. Unfortunately I broke the screen last month so I'd rather upgrade than pay over $100 for a new screen on an older phone that the battery is not as reliable. A standard user would absolutely like the S25 ultra jump with zero problems. Most of these reviews talk about things you'll use very little or notice slight differences. Seems as if everyone's a content creator these days though😂

[@karakemall]

Thank you for the review (I want to watch it after this message) and for adding Turkish subtitles. You are the video publisher I enjoy watching the most about headphones. I bought the S25 ultra and I have the Bose quietcomfort ii. Do you recommend that I give up on Bose and buy the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro?

[@aaronloudnwireless]

If it's for noise canceling and fit, absolutely not. For everything else, yes!

[@karakemall]

I'm even more confused. 😂

[@theprolightingindia]

Definitely not. Trust me on that. I have the 14PM I have seen and used S25U extensively. Unfortunately it doesn't even feel premium. The S pen is downgraded and overall it doesn't feel great when you hold the phone. If you really want to move from ios, you might as well buy the S24U. It's definitely much better than the S25U.

[@ritchieparagoya]

@ Thanks🙏

[@juicemanvon9859]

Don't listen to that guy. If you weren't in Samsung's ecosystem before, go ahead and grab that S25 Ultra. Other than the subtraction of an S Pen feature, it's an upgrade from the S24 Ultra in almost every way.

[@theprolightingindia]

@@juicemanvon9859 Technically though it's an upgrade, in terms of design, fit and finish and overall hand feel it's definitely a downgrade. I have compared S24U and S25U together and S24U feels much more premium than the S25U.

[@juicemanvon9859]

That what you THINK. The truth is that the S25U has that Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which means better CPU, GPU, and NPU. It has a better display. better cameras and an overall better build. It's overall a better phone in almost every way outside the removal of 2 S Pen features that used Bluetooth.

[@spydercontreras3736]

Not worth the upgrade the ai features are kinda wack. Also Ai is very dangerous on a phone wouldn't want to approve purchases with a voice command Ai is Really unnecessary on a phone

[@SSHayden]

Wouldnt many of the updates transfer to S24 as well with One UI 7? Camera is basically computational algorithm and speaker is fixed via EQ adjustments. Obviously Samsung can just do nothing so that their "new" flagship doesn't look even worse

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Whatever’s software related could trickle down to S24U, but I don’t think they’ll change anything about the camera and speakers.

[@gianlucaalessia5538]

I'm still rocking the 23 ultra and see no reason to upgrade. He'll the one plus 13 is a better phone and like 600$ less. Don't see how they couldn't even surpass those specs

Samsung getting very disapoint. What Samsung improved? Nothing, zero.
