I pre-ordered the s25 but after seeing reviews on youtube, I canceled my order. I'll stick with my s22 ultra. The s25 seems like a downgrade. Bring back the Bluetooth pen and micro sd cards to expand storage.

So you listen to other people instead of going based off of your experiences? I switched from the S24 Ultra, and yes the removal of Bluetooth on the S Pen for camera tasks was very disappointing, the boxy Note design was changed, but having used the S22 Ultra and each one after that, the design feels fresh. Using the S25 Ultra, the new look and feel, the camera features, the bells and whistles and other things make up the difference. I also have a Galaxy Watch so that can be used to control the camera. The devices now come with so much more internal memory that I've been used to not having the SD cards anymore. There are many other ways and more convenient imo to transfer files and stuff. It's definitely not a downgrade if you ask me.

Yes, it's not worth it to upgrade just to get a one ui 7 update. "Bells and whistles" šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

You shouldn't have done that. Using the 24 ultra and 25 ultra side by side, I can tell you it's actually a big upgrade. The whole phone feels new

I disagree. It's indeed a downgrade. We lost more features than gained

The Snapdragon X80 5G-RF modem is by far superior to the previous X75 modem. Better speeds, better Stand Alone 5g, more efficient.
Battery life, I am getting about 1.5 hours more SoT. The M13+ panel with HOP 3.0 touch response rate is better, faster RAM and Storage.

Sometimes its whats under the hood. Big upgrades in the hardware that actually run your device.

I went from the S24u to the S25Uu. It is amazing!

I tried image remastering in s25 ultra and I'm disappointed. The images turns to gainy, and downgraded the quality. Tried the same with s24 ultra, image became better. Also there is no navigation gesture option like s24 ultra in s25.
