Nice I'm looking at the s25 plus myself

You must remember that Samsung is following Apple's playbook because Samsung is so in love with Tim Cook now that Samsung has decided to purposefully remove features from their new phones instead of innovating anymore. Samsung is in love with the idea of giving you less for more money and then selling you that same feature back at additional cost to you. This way they make more money and the engineering teams don't have to think too hard or innovate new things. Question is how long is Samsung willing to be Apple's lapdog and how long can both Samsung and Apple keep de-innovating before they're down to selling you an empty cardboard box for $1500, phone sold separately. Maybe the public will wise up before then. Can't believe my fellow Samsung users will stand for this much longer. Apple fan boys will follow forever because Apple has so groomed them over time like a predator that they all think they're special when Apple takes things away from them. Samsung and Android customers are smarter than that I hope. We just may have to find a new brand if Samsung has hit a wall and can't or won't innovate anymore. Unlike Apple, Samsung doesn't have a monopoly. Truthfully it's really really sad to me as a techie to have to switch from a Note 9 to an S24 Ultra and find out how inferior the S24 Ultra is to the Note 9. I was excited to get a new phone...then less excited when I saw the S24 Ultra specs...and then disappointed with the actual phone. My Note 9 had so many more features and was more well rounded than the S24. And to even match the memory storage in my Note 9 I had to go with the top S24 Ultra 1 Tb so I didn't gain anything there either. The S24 is faster than the Note 9 but that is the only advantage. Camera is worse too and I was really surprised by that. Thought there would be an upgrade with the extra cameras but Samsung has them all **bleep** up with crazy focal lengths, camera over processing that most images are not much good for real photography. Not sure what Samsung is thinking today. They're all in on AI I guess and no hardware innovating. The AI on the S24 is OK but can be annoying. No I really don't want to proof read everything twice now because AI has decided to change my words after I type them to something else. No I don't want to have my stuff all rewritten to something else completely either. Be careful or AI might send out something really embarrassing that you didn't write but you sent it out without proof reading it and now the boss wants to talk to you. Nope.

Anyway, my point is the S25 appears to be another waisted effort to be an Apple Jr. So my advice is don't be an **bleep** and buy an S25 with less features and no S pen Bluetooth and then compound your losses by then plunking down more money for another S Pen "sold separately" with Bluetooth. That's what whiny Apple users do. Instead be a sensible Samsung user and go buy an S24 with the Bluetooth S Pen included. It is really a shame that Samsung is going down this same path to destruction as many other tech companies do. Until they fade away. Hope that doesn't happen to Samsung but it sure appears by their business decisions that they want to go the way of the dinosaurs.

I used to think that the S in the series line meant "Samsung" but as the last few years have shown, I really think it means "Subpar" instead.

So All Hail The Subpar 25, a lesser phone than the Subpar 24, which was a lesser phone than the Subpar 23 and on and on. It really makes a techie like me sad. Is this really the future?

"It's incredibly disappointing that Samsung decided to disable the wireless feature of the S Pen in their new device. This was one of the most useful and standout features for users who value advanced technology. I can’t imagine how many customers will choose not to buy the new model because of this decision. Personally, I’ve already decided not to get it. This is a step back that negatively impacts the user experience. 👎👎👎"

It made me decide to not get it. And I was willing to upgrade every single year. I bought the Note 20U, then the 22U, then the 23U, and 24U. No more. TM Roh needs to step down and let DJ Koh come back.

Confirmed!

Dude stop replying to every post about the s pen, the s25 Ultra has air commands but not air actions, so don't bother posting your blurry screenshot either. And posting a picture of the s pen does nothing, everyone knows it has that already.

Finally trading in my 22U and can't wait to get my new 25U!

Great decision
