This chip and ram is more efficient than anything in the past...phones that pack with SD elite seen a great improvement in efficiency. Its gonna be my first samsung since I turn over from Pixel 6
@trilingualkid No argument on that about the chip. Just remember other manufacturers are getting that same chip and upgrading a lot more with it this year to get the most out of it. With Samsung the Elite is their selling point. 👍
@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 Samsung make great improvement on AI, I think more so than Pixel, I have the 9 pro right now and have not use the Gemini pro more than once. I'm looking at Samsung to improve on the phone call translation and language translation in general, I find that is more useful to me as I travel for leisure every year to a new country
My real wish is that Samsung would create a smaller Ultra phone. I love the Ultra, but it's just a bit too big and heavy. They'd need to keep the full Ultra camera in a smaller one though.
That makes no sense. That's like saying you wish your large pizza was a small.. just buy the regular s25??? I don't understand your point. Why would it be called an ultra? If it's smaller
Hello? You heard that the S25 light is coming out? It's a much lighter and thinner version of the phone will retaining its top of the line features. Your wish is granted
@@numbone yeah I thought about that also but I I am a wall covering contractor and so I'm on my feet all day and the 24+ it's already big enough in my pocket and the OnePlus 13 is a little bit taller and so I think I'm going to have to pass but hey I think it's a good choice .
Help me understand something here ... if 80% of the hardware is already good enough, then why upgrade it? I think the biggest issue was what the phone's processor and software were doing with the data it got from that hardware. Even if Samsung gave us a 500MP camera but with the same issues, nothing would really change. Also, the leaks on the S-Pen have no corroboration with any other leaker, meaning that its most likely wrong, especially so close to the announcement (it also doesn't make any sense even as a cost-saving measure). Lastly, the AI features that people say will show up on the older phones... y'all really think "ALL" the new AI features built around the SD 8Elite will work flawlessly or even come to the S24 and below line-up? I'm not even a Samsung fan, but think about it logically: that would be a marketing disaster, especially with Samsung trying to get more people away from Apple/iPhones and their other competitors like OnePlus and the other Android phone companies, not to mention competing with their previous generation S24s. Honestly, I can agree with the ideology to never pre-order (unless the deal is too good to drop), only buy the newest device if you need it and are several generations behind (like maybe S20-S21 level), and to wait for non-sponsored reviewers' feedback before buying ANYTHING. However, you can't keep expecting that there will be brand new technologies and hardware every single year, and even if there is one or a couple of them, people will still complain about it not having enough... there will always be, at least one year, where a set of optimizations/a single, crucial hardware change/software overhaul will produce a product better than its previous products - which happens to EVERY COMPANY.
I think your thought process is really accurate. I also think the manufacturers slow down the upgrade process on purpose to maximize profit. This year and last Samsung has been helping Apple to release a foldable in 2026. I'm sure they will bring some of that innovation to their lineup in 2026. As far as AI, it's still not fully baked yet, even Apple is still struggling with it. I believe the processors are still ahead of the AI and can do much more than they have been releasing. All this to say this is not Samsung's big year. I would wait another year. Just my opinion. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I appreciate your comments and support! 👍
I recommend folks get the S24 Ultra. If you have the S24 Ultra, don't waste your money on the S25 Ultra. Like the S21 Ultra, the S24 Ultra will be a one of one. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with Galaxy AI can already process up to 70 tokens on-device. The chip took 3 generations to refine. The flaws were worked out in S22 & S23 series. The squared off corners means that the S24 Ultra is technically the current and last Note Samsung will make. So this device will be the only unique device as most of the others have the same design language: flat screen and sides with rounded corners. You can still get 6 of the 7 years of software upgrades and security updates. Plus, the S24 Ultra will really be special if Samsung goes back to the less capable S Pen that we saw with the S21 Ultra and the Fold devices. So I agree with you. I'm going to pass on this one.
I am always supportive to UA-cam content creators 'cause I know how much effort it takes to produce a quality content. Anyway, next time, do make for us a video dealing with IPhone 17 and Samsung Galaxy S25 so as to help us (who might probably try to purchase) make intelligent decision depending on powerful features of each one. Once again, keep it up, and thank u for ur fast feedback of appreciation! All your best!
Thank you for your support. I plan to make an iPhone video soon. A lot is changing so I want a bit more details so I can be as close as possible to the design. Thanks again for watching and supporting the channel! 👍👍
That's a smart way to purchase a flagship phone. Get the previous year when it's deeply discounted and you're not missing much simply because of a small upgrade. Good choice! 👍
Thank you for comparing these. It’s helpful and much appreciated. I’m wanting to upgrade from an old iPhone 11. I still can’t decide. I’m debating between pixel and Samsung phones.
@juliabanks1881 I can tell you the Pixel is pure Android and will give you the closest experience to that of the iPhone as far as Photos and simplicity. Samsung is great and has a lot of extras if you have the technology mind for it. It's a tough decision and I wish you the best of luck. 👍
Some people saying they're not buying it and the phone is not even out yet. How about try the phone then say what you think about it. i think it looks amazing and i already had the s24 utlra. This new design with the rounded corners and flat edges looks beautiful. And with one ui 7 it's gonna be the smoothest galaxy phone ever leaving the competition behind.
If you're not going to buy it, good for you. The phone has awesome features, the most powerful processor, advanced AI, Gemini, revised Bixby with advanced AI integration, faster storage, more RAM, etc Sounds like an update to me. Of course, he can use a Galaxy s21 ultra, which is a dinosaur, that looks similar.
Very true, but for me because I do reviews, I'll most likely pick up one or two of the models. I wish it wasn't out of pocket but that's just the way it is for now. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate your support on the channel! 👍
You can definitely get a better deal on the S24U. Wait for the release in a couple weeks and then weigh the cost versus capability. That's what I would do.
BE HONEST, The Buttons all make you Moer cash and more People will see your videos... I hate that about content makers... They won't say MONEY... Everyone knows why everyone wants us all to Press them Buttons.... so just SAY IT. :)
I believe I'm honest. I've shared that it helps out the channel if you smash the like button. This is a newer small channel so there is not much cash flow. I would love to be able to afford more devices to review and in time maybe that will happen. For now I'm just happy to know folks are enjoying the content by pressing the like button. Most of the time that's the only feedback I get. Thank you for being a part of the community and sharing your thoughts. I appreciate your support! 👍
I would say it's just the pure joy of speculation. We have fun talking about what is expected and what is hoped for. I don't know about others, but for me it's just to spark conversation within the community.
Well thanks for doing the video and Samsung used to be the company that innovated but now... really the same cameras on the s25 and s25 Plus since like the s21 that's quite the bummer. And what about the new battery technology that you see come in out like the OnePlus 13 and on most of the Chinese flagship phones. Maybe the only people who should upgrade is those who have a broken phone the screen's cracked or maybe if you have an s20 you should upgrade but everybody else what's the point if your batteries life is not so great just get a new battery put in .
I know right. I'm not sure why Samsung is just coasting along. I believe next year will be their big change since this year Apple is making big changes and Samsung is helping them. That's my guess anyway.🤞
It’s like a phone like s24 was good enough for at least 2 years, Samsung knows this, they are launching the s25 just for the trend. However the s23 is still good enough.
Me to iam not buying it 😔 I keep my s24 ultra same camera accept wide camera upgrade same battery capacity 5000mah in 2025 same charge speed 45w slowly where all phone now witch 6000mah silicon Nanostack dual celle battery The s pen without Bluetooth Almost the same screen as s24U not worth the upgrade literally
Same battery, same cameras, same charging speeds... What a let down.
I know right, but you get a faster chip. 🫤
@@GOTgoodoldtech-1964 yeah... Im keeping my fold 6, but i just traded my s24 ultra for the OnePlus 13.

That's exactly like Apple and Google do it. I wonder if that's what they won't.

I can't believe they're getting rid of the boxy look. 😢 im beyond disappointed in the s25U.
@@katinasoutherland7693 Times a chang'in. Personally I never liked how it jabs my palm with the sharp corners. The look is cool. 👍
Think I'm replacing my S24+ with a OnePlus 13
That would be a big change for sure. I enjoy the Oxygen OS and definitely recommend checking it out. 👍
@@numbone yeah I thought about that also but I I am a wall covering contractor and so I'm on my feet all day and the 24+ it's already big enough in my pocket and the OnePlus 13 is a little bit taller and so I think I'm going to have to pass but hey I think it's a good choice .
Yeah agree. Outside of the 8 elite the S25U (series) is a phone for a sucker (unless you actually need a new phone and S24U is not available)
My thoughts exactly. 👍
The ram is different too, going from 13nm to 12nm...I predict 30-40% efficicency
Get S24U from Dubai.
Ooh! Thank u! Keep it up for ur updates!
You're welcome. Thank you for watching, I appreciate your support!,🤣

Right. Sammy is locking in the iPhone look and Apple is changing design. 👍
Chinese players have already caught Samsung and now even surpassing it, specially in Camera, batter(SiC) etc
You're not wrong. Samsung needs to wake up and catch up.
Great information 👌💥💥⚡️⚡️

If you care anything about cameras, get the pixel. Samsung's cameras look fake and painted with skin tones.

I have the s22 ultra and with the rumors about the s pen, I'm wondering 🤔 💭? I hope it's rumors?
@@sirhborn Me too. That would be a shame to remove the Bluetooth.

Is S25 also getting 12 GB RAM?
Yes, 12 GB of RAM will be the minimum now for the base model. This is to help with the use of AI. 👍
I might as well upgrade to s24 ultra since no Bluetooth function i have s22 ultra
If the Bluetooth pen is a priority I would have to agree with you. I would wait to confirm the leaks are accurate first.
It's the way better value as well!
Probably nothing exhilarating not for your money 📈. ✌️👫

😊 i smashed the like button
Still love my S22 ultras..... not sure this is a big enough upgrade, honestly... 🤔
That's a tough call, you would think three generations would be a big difference. It just doesn't feel like it.
Yes, I understand. That's difficult call.
Should I buy s24U or S25U? I currently have $350 4 year old phone so this will be my first flagship phone if i will purchase.
S24 Ultra is a dream.
You can definitely get a better deal on the S24U. Wait for the release in a couple weeks and then weigh the cost versus capability. That's what I would do.

Almost the same screen as s24U
not worth the upgrade literally
