Samsung Unpacked - I Told You So.....

[@oliverodell3105]

The only thing Samsung Unpacked told us is which reviewers are clearly getting paid by Samsung 😂

[@rhythm451]

It wasn't hard to see which ones already did mate lol

[@simohammedlemhouer5052]

That's true and nobody is talking about the downgrade of the s pen no bluetooth like average dad said it was a shit show

[@Rawdee]

Don't forget the hardware downgrade with the s-pen not having Bluetooth

[@SMvbTR]

I'm glad I didn't wait and instead went for the OnePlus 13.

[@philippelambinet1425]

Same here

[@morm2173]

You were so right, I was disappointed by the incrementalism. Samsung needs DJ Koh back urgently. Its preposterous and I hope they realize this will hurt them in the future

[@joest88]

Agree with you mostly and not a Samsung fanboy, but some hardware changes not mentioned: - Better cooling (vapour chamber) - 12 Gb's of RAM on all S25 models - Slightly larger display for the Ultra and thinner besels - Snapdragon chips on all the devices every where (no more Exynos) I do agree they could've done more though

[@kavelab699]

12GB ram on an ultra phone is kinda laughable these days. I mean it's enough, but if I spend flagship money, I want flagship specs.

[@HectorYague]

As a long time die hard Samsung knight, I am ready to switch brands this year. Fuck this bullshit.

[@rico4you]

You nailed it. SAMSUNG not-packed event! And spen Bluetooth gone! 🤬🤬🤬

[@troycampbell1781]

You were definitely right

[@Thesimon221]

The last bid S series Ultra upgrade was from the S20 Ultra to the S21ultra.

[@redstang70]

100% correct!

[@louislatino7829]

Couldn't wait to upgrade from the 22ultra to the 25u. I don't think so samsung! Love your comments!!

[@ATBrryant]

I 100% agree with you on everything you said because the new phone is a literal waste of money if you have the 23 or the 24

[@vernondevine8486]

I am upgrading from my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra to the S24 Ultra; this will be my final Samsung flagship device of Samsung

[@anakin.b]

Love this. It's sad they literally don't care.

[@jimmierdavisjr]

Im not surprised anymore what Samsung has been doing for about the last five years etc. Its just sad when one of the big players do nothing. They are starting to look like LG before they folded.

[@philippelambinet1425]

Not really. LG was taking risks and they were innovating. The problem is they were not consistent. One great feature introduced in a generation was disappearing in the next generation, and so on. It was very disorienting.

What do you mean that Gemini is not paid one it is the free version In order to use the advanced version you need to activate your advance Gemini that one is free Version so it will have it even after 6 months why hating on it if you don't want It don't get it you already left it but you go around searching it's videos which shows Samsung is on your head rent free

Hi, I’ve been browsing your website and considering getting one of these phones: Honor Magic 7 Pro, Oppo Find X8 Pro, or Vivo X200 Pro. I’d really appreciate your recommendation on which one to choose. Also, just curious-what phone are you currently using yourself? Your input would be a great help as I’m planning to shop from your site. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

[@dimitarkovacev179]

Totally agree with you. I have been an iPhone user since model 5. Then recently switched to S24 Ultra, but poor faceID and fingerprint sensor with tempered glass on made be go back to iPhone 16 pro. A few days later Honor Magic 7 pro arrived in EU and now I am sorry that I haven’t been more patient because it seems like a better phone. Sadly there’s no Vivo in Europe…I have just subscribed to your channel.

[@dexter7939]

I have a question? I live in the USA, if I purchase a overseas cell device, how would go about getting it repaired if something happens. Due to me being in USA?

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Hey, phone is sent away for repair then sent back. process takes around 14 days

[@ds73652]

Not only an average dad but also a clairvoyant!!!

[@bjdeboy]

You were right! 😂

[@hasseygolf]

After watching your/this video... (after owning every Samsung Fold from 1 to 5)... and getting frustrated that Samsung never really made the Fold wider at all... I'm glad I switched to the Google 9 Pro Fold. I bought the Mate XT from your store (and had a great buying experience at the AverageDadTech store), and will re-buy it from your store when Huawei comes out with a Global version of the Mate XT. Samsung is on track to be the Yahoo of cell phones...

[@nikc1313]

I still think the s25 standard is one of the best and only options for a compact flagship. If they would just stick a min 5500mah silicon carbide battery in it then the s25 would be close to perfect for anyone wanting a smaller phone.

[@panagiotisflabouras]

Totally agree 👍

[@dr.subhammajumder7113]

[@davosam1968]

After they Apologizes For Lack of Innovation and promised to do better lol

[@Somali1971]

You articulate your thoughts clearly.

[@philippelambinet1425]

I so agree with you! Maybe not on the ""egregious and malicious" terminology however. I am not angry against Samsung. I am sad. I would replace "egregious and malicious" by "terrified" Samsung has become risk-averse and I think it's driven by fear. Fear of the executives to somehow damage the brand if some innovation backfires. Fear of employees and executives to be fired on the spot if anything goes wrong. If you are a little familiar with work culture in Korea and in Samsung in particular, you know that the work culture is savage there. I really believe fear plays a big role in their lack of innovation. Innovation is risk.

[@Kim_Jong_Un_.]

I'd call Samsung trash but i wouldn't want to insult my garbage

[@firasalatiyat866]

5 years ago I had come up to this realisation when I observed the joke that Note 20 Ultra was (looking at what the Note 10+ had been), and mind you, the increment was substantially bigger than S22 to S24! It was then that I ditched Samsung and never went back again. Samsung is converging with Apple in dominating the minds of the simpletons with mere scrubs.

[@QAZ2453]

Samsung Knights will be glazing hard still and that is the main problem

[@jonathanreid7785]

Did I see somewhere no Bluetooth pen either 😂

[@nedalps3]

you are absolutely right samsung traying to be like apple in abad ways

[@cheeto8481]

I agree. This is not an upgrade. Instead, I want to try some with amazing cameras. Is the Vivo X200 Pro still your top recommendation, or wait for the Ultra variant or something else? Thoughts?

[@gcntech9071]

I was thinking about what you said watching the event last night! It's really crazy to make fun of others and they do the same things....Happy with my oneplus 13!

[@shotta4lifeishere]

To be fair, because they released the same phone 4 times in a row, doesn't actually make the 25u a bad phone lol

[@Rizwaan122]

I wish there was a mandate forcing manufacturers to only release new phones every 2-3 years. No way in hell Samsung could get away with releasing the same phone each time if they were spaced 3 years apart - and it would force manufacturers to actually make bigger upgrades through software

[@mikoyeshiro963]

count me in as new subscriber. ONLY HONEST REVIEWER IN MY FEEDS and NO, NO, NO ADVERTISERS!!!

[@ChambS7N]

As much as I agree but they did add features I as a creator actually want and use. Aka LOG at 8k on all three sensors. Dual back camera recording. And and as much as I hate they lost the Bluetooth on the Spen the button still works as a camera clicker so it's not all bad. Personally I will be upgrading to the S25ultra from a S23ultra because of those camera features. I would love to get a xiamai but I need the Spen. 😊

[@jasonelliot9633]

I would love to see you though the s 25 ultra and the z fold 6 against the wall I've had it will Samsung too

[@RECHINUPUBLICITAR]

LET'S GO...

[@UpgradeLemonade]

S Pen + the Anti-reflective display on the Ultra is super nice BUT the battery, ram and most importantly the cameras are just mediocre for an "ultra" device. I cant justify an average camera for the $ they ask. Got myself a x200 pro and now I feel even better about that decision

[@yediydeyah78]

That was SUCH A HORRIBLE EVENT FROM SAMSUNG!! I was heavily disspointed in what I tortured myself into watching (especially the 45+ minutes prelude loop 🙄) Samsung taking away the BT functionality in the S-Pen has taken away the key reason why I invested into the Samsung ecosytem... Now that it's gone, I'll either find an S24 Ultra OR just say skip it and say all bets are off (meaning ANY PHONE can be my daily driver now (including a foldable)). Samsung talked NOTHING about speaker volume improvements, display brightness improvements, nor did they upgrade the RAM to 16GB (as other OEMs are doing for all of this "AI" nonsense). Samsung needs a complete redo of their mobile division as it's clear that they lost their way and are just phoning it in now

[@bspizer1]

Great video!!! Everything you said is true and that’s why I am going back to OnePlus Open🎉😊 from the Z Fold 6. Sorry Samsung 😢 you have lost the battle on all platforms😢. I can’t wait until the OnePlus Open 2 release to blow the Z Fold 7 out the water with better hardware updates 😊. Can’t wait for you to review the OnePlus Open.

[@dementedavenger74]

Fair play tae ye Mike. I enjoy the pissed of you 😡.It's the honesty.

My Samsung galaxy s23 ultra will probably be my last Samsung device, unless they change something drastically! Honor will probably be my next choice! I can pre-order it for €700... Half the price... Almost the same specs!

[@jdmvette]

I unsubscribed from mrwhostheboss because I got sick of seeing him flaunt his money with crap like "I bought the most expensive laundry room eVaRRrRr" etc. Oh yeah also unsubscribed because he grosses me out by wearing short-shorts and inevitably pans the camera down 🤢

[@highlightshadow]

It's looking an odd year --- I got the Xiaomi 14 ultra last year --- amazing camera yes... software is nice but needs much more work on battery optimisation but looking at the anticipated specs this year it's very marginal. The cameras looks mostly the same other than the rumoured periscope So i'm really undecided about any upgrade this year. Only thing that's making me consider it is the fact my son (who gets the hand-me-downs after at least 2 years of use from me or wifey) is kinda needing a new phone ... so i might get the 15 but interested to see what Oppo do in "ultra" but guessing they might not release globally --- will look at the oppo though anyway i just have a few very specific items i won't compromise on

[@Mr.aAdDies]

The ultra wide camera went from 12MP to 50MP

[@techjunkie452]

I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but damn, Galaxy Repacked was a letdown. I don't care how good the trade-in values are for the Galaxy Ultra Rehash, it's the same damn phone with a minor spec bump. Going on the second-hand market or looking at a Oneplus/Google seems like the better deal for US buyers.

[@002282300]

S25 Ultra + 6 months. S24 Ultra will profit from this.😂

[@stevebachochin2038]

very disappointed with both Apple and Samsung. I use to upgrade every year. waiting for a wider front screen and better cameras for the fold

[@iamhestbech.iamorphan]

I somewhat agree. But it is still a great phone. Yes it is expensive. No one i forcing you to upgrade every year. I feel like the hate is a little misplaced. There are differences. If nothing else, at least wait with the intense hate til we see how it performes in real life. Just my opinion

[@Frank-vo9xo]

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you. I'm disgusted with not 16 gigs of RAM. In fact, I'm switched my tablet out to a Lenovo's now. I think that there are better company to deal with. They don't keep slowing your equipment down every time a new piece of equipment comes out. They have been doing that with my phone and I believe tablets too. The only thing I've seen knew that they came up with is a customized chip. And I believe the reason why that is is it's no different than having like A say a snapdragon one plus, which is what's inside my one tablet from Lenovo that's customized for Lenovo. And they did the same thing with the Samsung Snapdragon 3. They just customized it a little bit for them. God only knows what kind of customization. Probably not much at all but done any innovation, nothing. In fact, I'm even starting to consider whether or not I want to buy the the fold 7. I have bought in every fold but the first one And so so far, I'm tired of these. If they give you bread crumbs and they charge you a fortune, and they get people in with this, you know, keep getting you to trade your phone. And it's, it's actually a vicious cycle, and it really needs to stop. And I think that companies like Samsung, Apple are in more trouble than people realize, because they need to sell people a new phone every year to keep their market up. But I think they're going to find in the next five years, people are going to be holding on their stuff for 2 3 maybe even five years I know people who always had to have stay-theart phones. They're still on the Samsung 8 and some of them are on the 9 but nobody's buying a new phone every year. Number one, they're not in high school anymore. Number two, the prices are ridiculous, and there's nothing exciting. I bought the Lenovo think book, hybrid 52 computers in one Android and Windows. And it was expensive. They said it was gonna be 3500. I got it for 2000 forty-four through Lenovo. I'm gonna tell you what this was the funnest computer I've bought in years. Something new. All the rest of the computers out there are the exact same. I mean, yeah, a little here, a little there, but they're all the same. There's nothing different. It's just, I'm waiting for some more exciting things to come out. You know, these the most exciting thing I've seen in phones in the last 5 years was done by Huawei, the triple fold. Now they did a horrible job, and the phone, I think, is something I would never buy, because it's garbage. I wish Samsung would have came out that. And the funny thing is, it was Samsung's design, and then Huawei stole it. But Samsung never bothered to build anything. Nothing new. I'm kind of sick of them

[@andrewcairnsmrkiplin]

another pass on samsung for me :)

[@stevenwaite3158]

I think the trouble is, smartphones have reached the pinnacle of where they can go now. We have all what we need. Speed, memory, resolution, cameras, folding screens etc. There is a limit to size, thinness and weight. What should get improved over time is battery tech. So, all they can give us now is software and AI. When I see a smartphone with a 50x optical zoom, l'll be impressed. Until then, we'll be fed nothing but AI bullshit.

[@markpitt6072]

Really dissapointed with Samsung lately... Been a Samsung phone user since the OmniaHD, currently got the s22u 1tb Time to move to a new manufacturer. Oppo find X8 Ultra looks the most tempting at the moment

What do you mean none of these was Samsung made ai the ai upscale pro upscaler the ai zoom the better lens switching and features like ai interpreator it was all made by Samsung appreciate the video but you are hating on it without any reason just pure hate there are some upgrades obviously for Samsung they use most of their profit into making new techs like new images sensor new display which you brag about in the Chinese flagship it's all made by Samsung obviously they need money to make those too so why hate on it thr Chinese flagship would be much worse if it wasn't for Samsung

Absolute tosh from Samsung again. They've been so disappointing for years now. MrW also sold out like you say. Samsung, do better!

[@alexle1935]

It's crazy that Apple iPhone was the more improved phone line.

[@joebaldwin3347]

The hardware is a disappointment for sure. Has been for years. This is where Samsung are really not pushing the envelope. However, I don't really care, for me the software is the thing I interact with and this is where Samsung shines. I don't care about the AI guff too much but the main One UI is still imo one of, if not the best interface out there. I tried a Pixel phone this year and was so disappointed with naked Android, where as back in the day I used to strip vendor OS's back to basics with Cynagenmod or a pure Android as it was the better interface. I can see no reason for anyone to upgrade from the S24 and potentially not the S23 either. I also feel like Samsung have copied Google and tried to 'iPhone' the S series.

You say Chinese flagship camera this thst bur Don't forget thr Sensor which you brag about is made by Samsung obviously in order to make those they need money and they need to cost cut if you want the latest and greatest be ready to pay more or don't complain chinese flashing are basically only doing is purchasing parts from different place and just putting it together to make a phone where is there innovation look at the both side of the coin you are a business guy you must know all of these but looking at your pure hate i know you are not gonna reply because you are a coward and you will obviously heart my comment because your bot does that if you have confidence than debate with me for it 😂

Hate to say it but your pretty annoying as well. A real Samsung hater. Sound like a woke no Trumper??

[@AndrewMage]

In Nov 2024 my Samsung S22 Ultra vomitted 2 ugly green lines across the screen the day after I bought my Huawei Matepad 12X (got a complimentary FreeBuds 5i). Coincidence? More like frustrated, miffed, angry ... all the emotions poured in. Took it to the nearest Samsung service centre, and they wanted to charge to replace the screen at almost 20% of the original S22 price. The nerve! Since I've broken the ecosystem (Harmony OS vs Android), I ordered the Huawei (foldable) Mate X6 at launch; got a free Ultimate watch. Go ahead I said, take a risk ... get it all on Harmony. 5 weeks in now, and it was the best decision ever. All devices on the same Huawei OS! Buttery smooth performance. Google apps work fine.

[@jacermtir1214]

unfortunately i'm going to buy it because I've got a recent refund on my s23 ultra and I'm using it to buy the s25 ultra, but man I can't believe how messed up this phone release was ! I mean : - Still 5000 mah battery unchanged while other flagship started already using new technologies with 6000mah. - still no 16Gb RAM even for the 1To version here in EU - S pen got downgraded (no bluetooth, no air actions) + unmatching colors with the phones - no M14 displays and no improvement on PWM frequencies for less eye fatigue - still a crappy 10Mp 3x f2.4 camera on samsung's 2025 flagship - no camera design changes for the last 4 years (still a wobbly phone) - still no charger in the box for "ecological" reasons but I have to say tho, the rest is PERFECT. 😅
