Definitely agree, how can he say that a phone is not worth buying compared to the other two when it's the only phone you can use with one hand (unless you're Hagrid)? It's so stupid Buying the other two wouldn't be worth it at all since I would want to sell them after a week
Exactly! Some people just don't understand that it's not all about money. It's not very nice to carry a big heavy phone in your pocket, especially at summer when you're wearing small shorts. Plus it also looks fugly as heck.
Yeah this video misses a lot. The S25 runs faster with better performance, because the resolution on the screen is lower, and since the screen is smaller you don’t notice a difference in resolution, I saw both side by side and chose the S25 after feeling the weight difference. The only negative (outside of no sdcard slot that’s some BS) is the lower charging wattage, Samsung should be shamed for that, we want non monstrous flagships that aren’t neutered.
@@lawren7615 I would probably get the s25 if more memory was available. So I ordered the Plus with 512 GB. Really wish phones still had expandable memory.
Same thing) I've already had my S25+ for a few days. The S25+ is faster, has interesting AI features, and looks better, but in general, both phones are good and perform very similarly. The biggest disappointment for me is that the main cameras (when using 12MP on the S25+) and ultrawide cameras produce almost identical pictures on both phones. Five years have passed, but there's no visible improvement here. However, the S25+ cameras take much better pictures in 3x-10x zoom, night mode, and with the selfie camera, as well as in video recording.
@@deagle7776 I do care about cameras, but the Ultra is just too big and expensive. I hope Samsung will one day start producing Plus versions with cameras like in the Ultra, and that will be the ideal phone.
Through Verizon I get mine day of release 02/07 delivered, cost me $1.66 for 36 months for the 256 gb version of the S25 after trading in a S21 with a cracked screen and getting $800 trade in credit for it, was also offered a tab S9 FE tablet for free.
I hope samsung releases a regular galaxy with ultra specs. Just like apple does with the pro and pro max models. Honestly the galaxy plus models are totally redundant.
I don't know, i think the apple path is correct. Two identical models, two different sizes. I'm pretty sure the smaller s24 sold better then the plus model as well. I checked, twice as many 13mil vs 7 mil, s23 11mil vs 5,5 Mil.
S25 is one of the smallest phones in the market, which already makes it worth it for those with smaller hands. I have the s23 and I love it. The only one that is redundant is the s25+, which doesn't make any sense
@@ridingwithsam year after year the + variants are the ones with lowest total sales by far, which makes sense since they are basically a less premium and nerfed version of the Ultra
The plus is the best value proposition. Same screen as the ultra but even more pixel density on the plus, significantly less expensive and not as massive.
Watching this on my S25+. Coming from an S21 ultra I wanted a smaller, lighter and more comfortable phone. I was debating between s25 and s25+ but I'm glad I went with the plus. It's perfect size and weight!
I feel this video is specs based only😅 The regular s25 is great for what it is.. smal, light portable flagship. Smaller battery.. because its smaller phone Slower charging again small phone Lower resolution, yet again smaller screen and s25plus and s25 ultra by default still run 1080.. Dont know
At the end of the day I don't really care about potential deals or irrelevant features such as QHD resolution or the S-pen. I just want a 6.2" sized high end phone that fits my hands and pants. The S25 offers just that.
Not applicable in my country, base variant starts from 256 gb in s25 regular model and it is much cheaper compared to s25 ultra, almost 500 dollars cheaper,and why are you assuming everyone will have s24 ultra to trade in? I understand this makes sense for you because you get s24 ultra for just 80 dollars extra but it's not the case with everyone
You completely forgot that some people prefer smaller phones and no amount of money can make up for that. I can easily buy dozen S25 Ultras any day, but I don't want to carry that big brick in my pocket. It's not all about money.
Got my s25 for €450, sold my s22 for €200. So €250 for the s25 is perfect. 25W charging is fast enough.. from 0-100% in only an hour. Also, i don't want/need a big heavy phone in my pocket! FHD+ and QHD makes no difference on a small phone screen anyway. When i had my s10 i always had in on FHD+ instead of QHD.
I've had my S10 since 2019. Only reason I'm here is because my S10 keeps thinking its charging port is moist and won't charge. It's been off for 2 days now..
@ If you're talking about S10, I don't know as I haven't touched settings for 5 years. If you're talking about S25, I didn't get one yet and I'm unsure if I will, all depends on if my S10 powers up.
This is so dumb. You act like everyone has a S24 Ultra. 😂 I have an S22 Ultra it isn’t worth $900. And even if I had a S24U why would I upgrade? It’s still an Amazon fast phone. It’s not outdated yet.
Even S22 Ultra is worth $600 trade-in + you get free galaxy buds 2 pro ($250 value). On ebay S22 Ultra is fetching around 300 to 500 only, and you have to pay ebay selling fees too.
The white screens one the S25 and S25 plus look crisper and like a cleaner white than the S25u. I'm guessing it's the anti reflective coating on the Ultra that is making such a noticeable difference? Makes the Plus display look better than the Ultra to me at least.
I have both the Ultra and Plus. The Plus battery is amazing and screen is amazing! Ultra is still to tall and thick of a phone. Maybe Samsung will realize to make their flagship lighter and and just a bit shorter. So its actually a oleasurebto hold like the Plus !
Hi ,about a month or so ago you had a feature for all galaxy phones, one of the features was to dim the screen after a few seconds until you touched the the screen, I used this feature but now it's being annoying and I can't find out how to switch it of, auto dim is off and adaptive brightness is off, any help would be much appreciated.
I still prefer the s25 especially for the size. Regarding the 25W charges it's more then enough especially with a smaller battery, 50% in half an hour. The resolution it's not QHD but with a smaller screen it's more than enough. In Europe are available 256GB and 512GB, so no problem with the storage space.
If you want a big phone just get the ultra then. The plus models are so redundant honestly. Do it like apple. Pro and pro max. Same specs more or less, different size.
i think people who buy the standard S25 do so for size and cost if they dont have a phone or want to trade in. i have the S24U and im gonna get the S25+ cos the ultras are too big for me.
🤔 I have 1 more payment on s22 ultra. I was planning on keeping it, But my screen mysteriously is going bad. This is the second phone from samsung that did this. My note 8 screen went bad just about the time it was paid off. I think they're doing it with their software upgrades intentionally
Ordered the S25 256gb navy blue model cause I don't want a big ass phone anymore🤦🏽♂️. Bring back compact flagships with better specs instead of these "Bricks”.
I believe he answered your question about S22 ultra to s25 ultra in one of his videos.. if you have s23 ultra (which is what I am using for trade-in).. since your phone is older, the battery might be slowly degrading and lose charge faster.. processor on s25 ultra is Snapdragon Elite, which specially designed for Samsung is power efficient, better graphics processor and speaker.. Here is my take on this matter, while there is Samsung trade-in event.. s22 ultra is good, but s23 ultra is better model between those two phones.. s22 ultra compared to s25 ultra is hands down, no comparison.. s25 ultra wins. purchase the newer phone if it does not cause financial strain on you or your family.. yeah, I say go for it.. the final decision falls on you. Note: S25 Ultra s-pen does not have bluetooth functions (this feature was removed) they might or might not sell a bluetooth s-pen separately in the future.
First of all its weird to see 128gb variant. In India we straight up get 256gb minimum from this year. Maybe they are doing this for USA only? 2 people posted here showing the plus beat s25ultra in most benchmarks & base model beat S24U in all departments. That means both gen ultra models are not good.
Hello Mr Sakitech, thanks for your advice and your tutorials, I want to ask you something about the s 25 ultra, I just received it but saw that the good lock app does not have all the modules, task changer for example, like the previous phones, not even the keys café is complete, so I can't set it up the way I want to, why is that? It should come with all the Samsung apps up to date, don't you think so?
Wrong in many ways. S25 is the most compact -> perfect Still high pixel density -> good My S25 has 512GB😂 -> awesome All models have 12gb ram -> No one needs upscaling on mobile. Charging is no 'downgrade' just the same as S24. With trade in for my S23 I paid 400€. But the S23 was a lot cheaper. In germany all trade ins are identical! In US it seems bugged.
None of even worth it, especially the 25 and s25+. You can get the oneplus 13 that’s on par if not better than the s25 ultra for 400 hundred dollars cheaper

S25 plus ideal.
The exact same thing I said. I also don't care about the ultras spen and extra cameras

T mobile only cost me $37 tax and if i trade in my s23 i get $500 off
Wow, nice to see a video where no one is screaming about having no bluetooth s-pen (YET!) which hardly anyone used anyway. 😂😂
I hope samsung releases a regular galaxy with ultra specs. Just like apple does with the pro and pro max models.
Honestly the galaxy plus models are totally redundant.
Except they're not redundant? We get the battery life and screen tech of the ultra, without the need for the pen and zoom?
I don't know, i think the apple path is correct. Two identical models, two different sizes.
I'm pretty sure the smaller s24 sold better then the plus model as well.

It's not redundant. S25 is too small and lacks features, Ultra is too big and expensive.
S25 is just too small. It's smaller than the iPhone 8 plus, Note 9! Ridiculous
How is the plus redundant? You get the bigger screen and battery of the ultra without the weight and bulk of it?

I love s25 because of the size haha
Just buy Nokia 3310....now that's value for money
Why does the ultra display look so much warmer than the other two in this video?
Is that better?
I think it's because of Matt Finish (reflection protection) only ultra models have it, i might be wrong but i think that why it's warmer screen
S25 Ultra had Adaptive color tone on (~ 2:45), whereas the other two did not.
I got the S25+ and im glad I bought it. Im from 🇮🇳

Me too with t mobile $500 trade in discount
Thanks for this!! I'm thinking of downgrading to the S25+ from the S 23 Ultra and I wanted to know the main differences.

Adaptive colour tone is on in the s25U
Just buy the 12/512 variant of s25

Subscribe if you’re bigger than your phone 😂
IMO, just have 2 variations, a regular one (+) and a bigger one (ultra). 3 are too many
there's a group of us who have small hands / prefer compact phones so there's that. I defo need the base variant to stay
If you want a big phone just get the ultra then. The plus models are so redundant honestly.
Do it like apple. Pro and pro max. Same specs more or less, different size.
