It most likely had to do with the Magsafe compatibility. I know that was an issue with the S-Pen and using Magsafe accessories. It kind of narc'ed the S-Pen when trying to write on the screen with a Magsafe case on it.
Looks premium even tho a bit too simplistic People should be a bit calm about companies being companies lol and I'd say that they aren't being as bashful of the past 3 years of iphones (pro models at least) as they are about this S series That being said, i kinda dont have any hopes for samsung apple or google to do anything exciting anyway The only "exciting" things the smartphone market is giving us are the chinese phones with bonkers hardware (most of which aren't even that much more meaningful still)
Despite all the hate and complaining that this isn't much of an upgrade, I'm definitely going to get it. Just for the looks, design, upgraded processor, slightly better camera.... I don't mind lacking the s pen swipe gestures, as I never really used it. I thought I'd use my s pen more, but in reality it's just an extra thing to pull out, keep track of, and put back in the phone...when listening to music I'd rather just swipe on the phone, or show the palm of my hand to take a photo. People acting like it's the end of the world loosing the spen bluetooth gestures, when most don't even use it. Totally worth it since I get if for only $400 if I trade my s24 ultra.
I think they removed the bluetooth functionality from the spen because the magnetic force it was causing with the display while having a magnetic case on. I'm guessing that's why cases with built-in magnets don't interfere now when writing or drawing. It's just a guess. Try using the S24 ultra's spen on the S25 ultra display with the Torras magnetic case attached to it just to see.
@@jimmcnevin9367 i agree, but i just like tim more, personal preference tho, and im not comparing him to anyone, just applauding his effort and dedication
You all said the same to Iphone 16, Galaxy S25 & Switch 2. There is not much to change. Technologies already at their top, can't change much for portable devices likes them
For the first time planning to shift to iphone. My deal breakers : i am a solo traveller so for me S PEN shutter button was very important and they removed that feature. 3x telephoto badly needed improvement. 5x sensor size is so bad, if not in good lighting its useless Shutter speed is the worse amongst other competitors. The moment is generally missed before it captures! Battery remains the same. AI features for a common man is almost rarely used ( so cant be the selling point or atleSt upgrading from s24ultra)
thank u for everything. no other creators did like this. u hv even mentioned the protection and accessories and tips too. ty for everything. just subscribed.
It’s crazy to me how people are always complaining about the laziness of designs for slab phones, it’s a metal rectangle, with varying corner radius, varying back plate material and where to put the camera cluster. There’s not much that be can be done that’s not been done. Mostly it’s a piece of mass marketed consumer tech… OEMs are appealing to the masses not the niche nerds like us. 😂
I presently have the iPhone 15 and while I enjoy Apple… I want to go back to Android. I’m in a toss up between the Pixel 9 Pro and this S25 Ultra. For peripherals, I prefer Googles smartwatch over Samsungs and really enjoy both ecosystems…. I’m stuck!
I remember, back in the days of s23u announcement, s25u was supposed to be the God phone: 300+mp cam, brand new OLED screen, 65 w charging, new type of battery composition, Dream chipset etc. Which made sense, it was the 15th anniversary for the Galaxy S. And look at the piece of trash we got instead
Okay, so I'm even more sure I'll keep my S24U and skip this year's joke of an upgrade. 5000 mah battery *again*? The S-pen's going backward? The cameras are basically the same, except for the ultrawide. Yeah, it's got a better processor, which'll maybe get you an extra hour of battery and smoother AI. Rounded corners and bigger camera rings-that's it. They should just release flagships every two years.
Bruh people be exaggarating such a thing as Bluetooth s pen.there are so many great features,ignoring all of them just for one less feature is so bad.clearly shows how people nowadays are so spoiled by brands
Out of all Samsung has made many "S" series: Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra and Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra by far powerful device than Huawei and OPPO smartphones
Mon mari a essayé de me surprendre avec un petit déjeuner au lit. C'était gentil jusqu'à ce que je découvre qu'il avait utilisé les derniers grains de café. Ne touchez pas à la réserve de caféine d'une femme💝
This feels like pure BS from Samsung. It's just software tweaks that will inevitably be rolled out to the S24 and S23 as well. No significant battery upgrade, no fast charging like 60W-seriously? The same outdated M13 display with no brightness improvements, no video AI, no upgrade to speakers and all that extra stuff. Today, they stripped the S Pen of its controls to slim down the phone, and who knows, tomorrow they might just ditch the S Pen altogether because people don’t use it often enough. It's a real shame Samsung hired a Mercedes designer for this disappointing mess.
Thanks for being here, enjoy the video!
Thanks to @TORRASOfficial for sponsoring this video, check out their Galaxy S25 cases here: amzn.to/4h0z2Ul
will the feautures be for s24 or no?
I am happy with my s23 ultra
It's ridiculous that they took the Bluetooth out of the s pen

@@davidblee819Bluetooth has nothing to do with magsafe
@davidblee819 has nothing to do with Bluetooth that was the magnet interfering with the digitizer.
It's down to the cost
Removing the bluetooth from the S-Pen is disappointing. I would rather have it than the AI's.
Glad u don’t have an opinion on Samsung’s board of directors then :)
What a lazy upgrade .. Colours are so so boring ..No bigger battery is Criminal in 2025
You are right
S25 an s25+ doesn’t have any upgrades (except new chip) 😢
No super fast charging no fast wireles charging,dowgrade s spen without bluetooth
@gmfam733 Very disappointing mate ..Very lazy
and price 😅@@gmfam733
So wait for s26 series because of big improvements
now it looks like a normal S -series like S24 or S24+ don't have the premium looks anymore
Looks premium even tho a bit too simplistic
People should be a bit calm about companies being companies lol and I'd say that they aren't being as bashful of the past 3 years of iphones (pro models at least) as they are about this S series
That being said, i kinda dont have any hopes for samsung apple or google to do anything exciting anyway
The only "exciting" things the smartphone market is giving us are the chinese phones with bonkers hardware (most of which aren't even that much more meaningful still)
S21 Ultra:
Ppl always gonna complain
Can’t believe they took away the wireless s-pen features
That's a fkn worst desition.. shame for samsung
In the next 4-5 years, they're going to remove s-pen itself ig
I can't believe a phone in 2025 has stylus.
Why does the S-Pen still has the Button to Press ?
So you can take pictures, flip camera to front and back, hold the button it activates the camera, and other features
@@brandonthrasherexodus they should have upgraded it to touch?🙄
@ But People say there is No Bluetooth anymore...and the button is useless...so what is the truth?
@@brandonthrasherexodusIt doesn't have Bluetooth no more, so it can't do that anymore
@@ronrajithe button is used for eraser or highlighting texts
Bluetooth S-Pen will be huge selling point for Galaxy S26 Ultra and Samsung will sell new devices even more than before.
Marketing strat to fool people to upgrade to the s26 from the s25.

I like it! I do like the squared corners of the S24 Ultra. I've got to think hard on which one to choose.
This is the most exciting presale of 2024. Adaxum is combining the best tech in AI, DeFi, and blockchain. I'm in!

S pen is not for writing. It is more
like for smart select and translation fuction or

Can you make a video testing whether the S24 Ultra's S Pen works with the S25 Ultra, including its Bluetooth functionality?
Samsung nerfed the S pen so bad they might as well remove it and add a bigger battery
Man, that iPhone looks really good 😂😂
No that Samphone looks good😂
They copied iPhone again 😂
@zeuronplana8541 sure looks like an iPhone to me 😁
Yea with the massive eyesore 😂
I like the design better for the ultra but no ip69 addition, no bigger battery, no faster charging like dang wtf. Not worth 1300 dollars
if there are 4 cameras, then what is the 5th "camera" thing?
Laser auto focus
Does it have satellite communication
Yes, even the S24 series supports it, but it depends on your carrier to provide it
@@ItsPopcatsorry what? Carrier!?
@sachin2842 Yes, T-Mobile currently supports it in the US as a beta program for text (and calling, I believe) (using StarLink)
I presently have the iPhone 15 and while I enjoy Apple… I want to go back to Android. I’m in a toss up between the Pixel 9 Pro and this S25 Ultra.
For peripherals, I prefer Googles smartwatch over Samsungs and really enjoy both ecosystems…. I’m stuck!
get the pixel for having better design and camera and much cheaper than samsung
Is it comfortable to hold?
Galaxy S25 Tim Schofield lol
Thank you, was waiting for your review. Considering this device . I'm From Nigeria
So whats the use of the button now since the pen no longer has bluetooth connectivity lol
Eraser
Hey Tim, I want to know about charging speed, did they implement qi2 (25W) ?
Am still waiting for samsung to have a built in rice cooker and fridge on their phone.
Any improvement in gps?
I remember, back in the days of s23u announcement, s25u was supposed to be the God phone: 300+mp cam, brand new OLED screen, 65 w charging, new type of battery composition, Dream chipset etc. Which made sense, it was the 15th anniversary for the Galaxy S.
And look at the piece of trash we got instead
The altcoin season is heating up, and projects like Adaxum are perfectly positioned to dominate the market.
Tim, is there a light performance mode on the S25 Ultra?
i like my square edges
I am going to like your video because it is the 1st to actually show the s25u.
love the display size 🫰
What if I update one ui 7 in s24 ultra(whenever available), then my s-pen will work or not as wireless gestures?
Okay, so I'm even more sure I'll keep my S24U and skip this year's joke of an upgrade. 5000 mah battery *again*? The S-pen's going backward?

It's about tech side on this phone looks great if you doing coding on the go it's 35 percent faster
Still i love my S23 ultra. But the blue color of S25 is my favourite color
That's a awesome phone
Loved it!!!!!!
Nah I can't buy a phone that removes the Best S-Pen feature it's not exciting.
HI FROM INDIA,like this model looks minimalist and premium!
Is that a Sri Lankan train ride at 5:08 ?
Amazing thanks for the quick, in depth review!!
Thanks for watching!
This phone wont sell well
Unfortunately i also do think the same lol
Huge down grade Samsung no more Bluetooth S-pen😅😂😢
Bruh people be exaggarating such a thing as Bluetooth s pen.there are so many great features,ignoring all of them just for one less feature is so bad.clearly shows how people nowadays are so spoiled by brands
Not it having fingerprint sensor on power button is crazy
Ultra looks nice , other 2 are not much of an upgrade
Out of all Samsung has made many "S" series: Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra and Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra by far powerful device than Huawei and OPPO smartphones
I never use the pen, its such a good phone, but i get the nit picking
Have 4k 120 fps stabilization works?
Tokenomics on point, a strong development fund, and a clear focus on community growth, Adaxum has it all!
Did you meet zollotech there?
Phone looks awesome
There was no need to round the corners or do it very little.
My spen isn’t blu tooth anymore oh no!!!
Now I can’t use it one time like I did on the s24 ultra
Killing, the S pin was not a smart move.
bluetooth not working in s pen is really disappointing

Relevance?
Wait there is no super slow mo 😢
They got rid of the Bluetooth in S Pen? Oh dear. They've lost the plot again with the Note/Ultra line.
4:50 really a air bag
hold your phone with your pinky instead of your palms problem solved
Can't believe they took away S-pen. Big No from me.
Removing S pen actions is highly disappointing 😞
This isn't an upgrade 😂
Removing the S-Pen features makes this phone worthless to many people.

It's the s pen 4 me was looking forward guess gonna have 2 get s24😅
Time is running out! Adaxum presale is nearly full! Act fast before it gets sold out!
S24 ultra is batter than s25 ultra
Only a few spots left in Adaxum presale - this is what first-mover advantage looks like!
in my meaning this design more way better than 24 ultra unfortunately the S-pen Bluetooth disappointed
Once android 15,one UI7 officially released,my s23ultra will have no difference from s25 😁
Except for a superior processor better battery life better camera 😂
I’d rather wait far S25 Edge ❤
Adaxum presale bonus tiers are a great incentive for early supporters..huge potential here!
❤
I use my s pen often... Can you tell if its not bluetooth connected then what is the button for? Please tell, it can be a deal breaker for me😢
The Adaxum team is setting the bar high for presales. Transparency & bonuses equals community trust!
Same mobile
❤❤
sale will going down due to removing s pen feature
WOW 👌
I watch this channel for new released device...
Waiting for the galaxy s50 ultra
Yessir 😁
Just buy the S24 Ultra, its way better. It also looks more premium and is almost the same
Hey what r u doing in my s25 ultra😂
Lazy lazy lazy update. What are we now? Apple?
Shit as iPhone now......😅
Oppo Find X8 Pro all the way 💪💪💪💪👌☝️😎
Samsung s25 Ultra is new features new design new battery life and everything 😮😮😮😮👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your video I'm Big fan you
Clear looking any phone your video
I need 1
Love my S24 ultra ❤️
I will wait for Tesla pi phone
I don't care if the round edges are comfortable It makes it look like a budget a73 phone when you put a case. Also big L for the s pen.
