When the big competitor, Huawei was sanctioned, Apple and Samsung started sleeping. These two brands are no longer innovative, NO upgrades but rather downgrades with increasing prices
Great video! I used to be a Samsung Fan but I hated the S24 Ultra because I had an issue with it. Was hoping the S25 Ultra would be an improvement but it is actually a downgrade. Samsung is not innovating anymore they are just thinking AI would get them ahead and taking away the S-pen Bluetooth is just plain stupid and their reasoning is ignorant. I am glad I bought the Oneplus 13, lot of improvements over the 12.
@TheTechGateway I had issues with even setting it up from the unboxing. The camera would freeze up and battery life was horrible even after all the updates. Samsung is making fun of Apple with their advertisements but following in the same footsteps. Charging a premium price for their phones and without any new innovation. I have been a Samsung guy since the Note 2 and had everyone except the Note 5 because they removed the expandable storage. OnePlus I have had a phone on and off since the OnePlus 7 Pro. Their phones are better in all aspects compared to the big three. I bought the OnePlus 12 last year and I still have it because it is still a great phone. The 13 has some nice improvements, including a better flatter screen, bigger battery, slightly different design lighter, slimmer, improved cameras, water and dust certifications and best of all the price was $899 for 512gb and 16gb of ram. I don't have to pay a premium to get an awesome phone like Samsung thinks you do. Samsung has lost their ways and when they combined the S series with the Note was their first mistake several years ago. By coming out with the S25 Ultra and taking away features all they are doing is pushing their Note customers to other quality phones like OnePlus. I also own the OnePlus Open which is the best foldable on the market. I can't wait for the OnePlus Open 2.
Should i buy S24 Ultra then? It has Six more years Android support updates still and it is now little cheaper? But my Brother has it an Unlocked model and he still has not gotten Android 15 update for it? But carrier models get many more updates? Why is that? Also it can overheat when using full power all settings on???
I would personally see the deals in ur country. You have other option like pixel and one plus great phones. Samsung is really slow to update i have android 16 beta on my pixel. Pixel gets best and fastest Updates. I have not issue with over heating unless using while charging. Lmk if u need anything else
Forgive me if I'm being naive, haven't they benchmarked this new Snapdragon chip to be actually faster than the new Iphone chip? Which is the first time a Samsung phone has a better chip than the iphone? I'm due an upgrade in a couple of months from my S23 Ultra so wondering what phones you would recommend might be worth looking at instead of the S25 Ultra?
Tbh new chip is really good but idk how it will behave with samsung same level battery. Wait for the review on that. Others I would look at pixel 9 xl or one plus 13. But if you have Chinese phones available then vivo or Xiaomi although am not biggest fan of there ui. Lmk if you need anything else
I have 100 reasons not to buy this shit. 1. S pen is "ass pen" now, without any air gesture, click to snap etc 2. Best camera is of vivo 200x pro. This is just a shit 3. Performance is low as compared to iQOO with elite processor as it have extra image chip. 4. Sucks at price 5. All.of it's AI features are a shit, that can be provided for free in any mobile by AI apps in the market
@@TheTechGateway I have the s23 Ultra, was considering just upgrading because Samsung is having the deal, where they give you a discount for a trade in and also a $130 credit. But I also don't want to encourage bad behavior lol

What's the issue with s24 ultra ? I personally thought it was a decent phone. How's the switch to the oneplus ? Do you recommend it?

how are you suprised that upgrading from an S24 to S25 is only minor?
TBH minor is fine but seems to be going backwards. I was looking forward to the new chip and maybe bigger battery
Cool video. What new car are you going to buy this year to replace the one you bought a year ago?
Haha, I do see your point, but i like tech a bit, so it's normally my fun budget.
Decided to keep my s23 Ultra for one more year. Not enough innovation this year.
Don't blame you. They made no reason to convince anyone
@TheTechGateway Think the same. Thanks for the review and keep up the good work 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Yh and wait till they charge monthly subscription for the ai 🫠
I am going for OnePlus 13, the best phone in performance and value for money.
That's a good choice, looks like solid phone. I am a bit hesitant because of the camera. Did you research any other phones before choosing oneplus?
Oneplus 13 has 85 % camera functions of Samsung s25 ultra. And Less than half the price.
I much more prefer my s24 ultra for me not much point in upgrading the s24 ultra has only been out for a year
Yeah, I do like the s24 ultra a lot , there is no reason to upgrade and i won't even call it upgrade as u heard from rant video 😄
yeah felt the same way. good vid
Thanks, kinda was hoping for a good phone to buy but very disappointed. What phone do you have now ?
@@TheTechGateway I have the s23 Ultra, was considering just upgrading because Samsung is having the deal, where they give you a discount for a trade in and also a $130 credit. But I also don't want to encourage bad behavior lol
Yeah hard choice. But if you get a good offer go for it. YOLO especially looking forward to the new chip
" 3 NM "
The processor?
