Update S24 or S25 from s21?

[gopekto2]

Hello, I have S21 device and I want to upgrade but I don’t know which one should I choose. I read that the S25 has very little difference compared to S24, and someone who has older device buy S24 instead because it is cheaper but knows everything.

If you are buying on the Samsung website there is only a $50 difference between the S24 and S25, and the trade in value for the s21 is the same for both phones. I think the s25 is much nicer than the s24. And you'll get an extra year of updates. There are a few bugs in the s25 like there always are in new phones but I am assuming that Samsung will fix these soon with a UI update.

February 1, 2025 update hit my device on March 1, 2025? Slow to update, security issue?

Do you have the unlocked S25 Ultra? If so, these updates for these devices do not hit at the same time as the carrier versions. I usually always check for updates manually whenever an update is sent out; I happened to check on the 24th after checking out articles on multiple blog sites and got the update. I honestly would think that having an unlocked variant would get updates before any of the carriers.

I would definitely opt for the S25 Ultra. So far, the battery life is excellent. The camera is much better optimized with the new Elite processor. Also, I am hearing a lot of positive rumors about the S25 Edge being shown at MWC and possibly being released later this spring in the U.S. As a person who loves trying out the latest and greatest new technology, I am excited to get my hands on the S25 Edge when it is released. As mrk33 stated, this is the time if you want a great deal.
