The zoom transitions are great but not too dissimilar to the S24 Ultra. What is more impressive, is the colour consistency over the S24 Ultra which looks very significant. Samsung have done a lot of work in making the colour profiles for all lenses look more consistent which I think is the biggest improvement.
It's really funny how all the Tech UA-camrs are skirting around how poor the S25 Ultra is in terms of an upgrade and over hyping AI at least Shane is keeping it real
It depends on what your upgrading from I have a iPhone 10 , it should be a huge upgrade for me. But I get it if you have a s24 or s23 not worth the upgrade
Samsung is playing it safe for sure but for s22U and s23U, especially s21U users its for sure an upgrade. Maybe not leagues but it is one. And user information shows the most minuscule amount of people upgrade yearly. Even if samsung went all out and increased the price i bet you people would complain. Complaining is people's favorite in all areas, not just Samsung
I feel like last year there were no videos about motion blur. I bought my first Galaxy and was really blindsided with how poor it performed. Switched back to Pixel, but do have an S25U on pre order and these were encouraging! Thank you!
I could not resist and also ordered S25 Ultra - although my lineup of Fold6, Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Honor Magic V3 is already more than I can really use in real life... Thanks Shane, you are the only channel I pay membership and I do not regret 😊
I'm in the same boat. I have the 16 pro that I'm about done with. I also have the Z Fold 6 and now the s25 ultra. I'm not sure which will be my main. Camera and battery are the only issue with the fold.
@@stevecoleman2869 the OG fold was my favorite phone of all time but the charging speeds and cameras were pretty bad. So far I think I'm going with the fold 6 as my main and move the iPhone to my secondary.
Man I wish Samsung sent you this phone day 1. So tired of listening to other youtubers reiterating what we already know. S-pen this, AI that blah-blah-blah. Glad you're keeping it real 👍
Yeah I think the more popular UA-camrs just do a surface level review of tech nowadays. Probably why I mostly follow guys like Shane. Keep up the good work!!
I haven't had a Samsung since 2023. And haven't had candy bar phone since 2021. It's a breathe of Fresh air. Kept my Open though. Can't wait for N5/Open2
It's not if you know how to get the most out of the cameras. 200mp mode is now available in expert raw mode so you have more control over that mode. You can shoot 50mp on all 4 cameras. It's amazing really. And all cameras can shoot in 8k video
The 200MP mode is great for added detail on evenly lit still subjects. Otherwise, you're going to see even more motion blur and the exposure degrade significantly. For most people, most of the time, standard 12MP mode will deliver better results. The higher res modes honestly make the issues I have with the camera worse, forcing me to do even more work to compensate.
The camera doesn't work in Google Meet when trying to do a video call.. I've seen at least 20 posts on this.. my S25 included.. the screen is just black.. How about yours?
Bought the coffee mug but it was broke on delivery but they quickly replaced it and is in transit. Good customer service. Got s25 Ultra yesterday and so far for me, the in hand feel is a bit better than the s24 Ultra but it still does not feel any where close to the feel of my Pixel 9 Pro XL.. I do not like the aluminum frame, it feels cheap to me in hand. If you hold both s24 U and s25 U the s24 feels like more robust, quality feeling. I am sure the s25 U is quality also but it's a different alien feel because the Ultra series has been the same for years.

No, it's not. The cpu alone is a major upgrade.
I have the Z Fold 6 and just went for the s25 ultra to try for a few weeks. Idk, this phone is bad ass. What more do we want a phone to do?
There's a healthy amount of balance - criticism - on the S25 Ultra.

One of the few reviewers who actually used the phone before posting the video. Thank you!

Gkad im not the only one out there that uses so many i now have the s25 ultra tge OG pixel fold the honor magic v3 and the new honor magic 7 pro lol 😅

I think the next breakthrough we need to get to phone cameras is a global shutter. This will be revolutionary for video capture!
Seems clear to me it's a premium camera system. I hope I can say that when the z fold 7 gets released.
I think for what samsung charges the cameras should be the best there is
Wait a sec, am I bugging or does these pics look pretty much average at best? Good video Shane and keep them coming.
My thoughts exactly. I guess it's the low lighting
Is it with camera assistant settings enabled?
Got mine coming tomorrow, anything will be better than my OnePlus 12 camera.
Keepin' it so real Shane ! 👍👍👏👏
Are you switching back to pixel 9 fold after testing the s25 ultra?
Possibly
@@shanecraigtech #teampixel 😀
Nah
The night sight photos appear weird in color when it is used in lowlights except in dark conditions
I would say less muted

Great job on the review lots of good information trying to decide between s25 u and iPhone 16 pro. Using iPhone 10 now
Team Pixel 100%
Understand your difficulties with a black dog, ill buy the new s25 just to take photos of my dog.
😂
OnePlus open 2 will conquer all ! Samsung is on a "money grab" same ole,same ole
Pixel for photos & iPhone for video. That’s a rap ! Simple
The camera doesn't work in Google Meet when trying to do a video call.. I've seen at least 20 posts on this.. my S25 included.. the screen is just black.. How about yours?
I don't think I've used Google Meet a single time in my life lol. In my book, there's only one thing worse than a phone call - a video call 💀

That's good to hear!
I’m thinking of trading in my pixel 9 pro fold for this phone. Should I not and wait?
