I've had my S25 Ultra since February 5th and during my testing phase the battery life has been great until this recent march security patch. I went from charging my phone from 3 times a week to now 5 times and that's been really interesting to see. Also I've noticed that there has not been a camera update to improve overall camera quality to fine tune it more in the natural/detail department (my xiaomi 13 ultra is still superior in comparison). Lockstar in good Lock is still buggy without official update due to side loading the app. I hope these things get fixed in a timely manner and Samsung please put more time and effort into properly fixing software bugs and issues instead of creating new ones. My overall experience has been great but I have to call it as I see it, more work needs to be done.

I hope so. Something just tells me that one UI 7 will have the shortest timeframe with One UI 8 android 16 allegedly coming out in July with the foldable 7 series. The rollout to older phones has been quite a mess,6-7 months of multiple beta programs and still not stable enough for prime time. Works amazing on the new/latest galaxy phones though. Guess that counts for something.

Yeah have fun waiting for that. Still waiting for the promise of the S24 ultra camera update to help with the zoom. Still haven't seen that either.

The zoom photography on my S25 Ultra still needs some fine tuning itself especially at 5x and 10x . But like I said earlier, 6-7 months of betas and still issues and rollout to older phones has been a mess. Samsung needs to get it together.

It really is a massive update technically wise.
Multimodal actions is the biggest leap in the last 10 yrs.
A lot of the stuff will never work on my Pixel 9 ProXl, Tensor 4 chip is not powerful enough.

Well when it comes to pixel phones Google doesn't prioritize speed,power, gaming or customizations for their devices and I have pixel 7 pro running android 16 beta 3.1. kinda wish Google would go beyond 30x zoom to at least 50x .

There was a Google Play System update yesterday that improved my battery tremendously.

Yesterday I had almost 6hr of Sot, heavy use. 48% left!

Updated my Google play system update to March,it had been on October for a while. Still the recent March security patch broke my great battery life. I hope the April security patch fixes this.
