Something strange is occurring here! š. I traded in my S24 Ultra for the 25 Ultra and so many apps are not updating to the latest versions. I get that the phone still hasn't officially been made available but goodness, can you guys open it up already? Even apps that aren't Samsung store apps are affected and I was running the OneUI beta.
For instance, I use the Google messages beta version and the early features I was used to using have all disappeared. Maybe it's server side, but it's really annoying to use a device that seemingly isn't recognized as a "legitimate" device yet because it hasn't fully been released.
Loving the phone though. You guys are doing something right on the design front. I love the lighter weight, the rounded corners with flat edges are what I've been waiting for! I just want them cohesive for next year. I want the same angle, same curvature for all devices regardless of model. What sets the ultra apart should always just be the S-Pen, higher specs and cameras. I want to see 6000 mah next year along with a 10x optical zoom - maybe a 12x optical zoom. My S23 Ultra camera outperformed my S24 Ultra by a landslide.
I'd also really like to uninstall any apps that I don't want. Meta apps, Samsung apps, anything that's not core needed should be removable. Looking at things like "meta app installer, meta app manager, meta services" those are optional apps that I'd like to completely remove from my device, not just disable.
Also, bring back the secure folder backup. However you need to do it. Maybe have it link to the personal vault to Microsoft onedrive or the locked folder for Google drive, that way it uses an existing privacy cloud that already is available as opposed to designating data specifically for that on Samsung's end.
Start baking your good lock apps into OneUI. Have it featured as another selection on the settings menu under advanced features. Some people don't even look at those settings if they aren't a power user. Those of us who love and appreciate good lock modules will find them trust me.
Your new animation settings are beautiful! But there needs to be either a design change for the ultra, or have ultra-specific (no pun intended) design elements that match its particular curvature or angles. The non-conformity of the design elements makes it seem like it's just a phone, whereas having them match with such a level of detail could really be something to marvel at. My guess though is, it'd be easier to just redesign to make them all uniform as I suggested earlier.
Thanks for coming to my TED TALK lol. Rant over!
