The Snapdragon X80 5G-RF modem is by far superior to the previous X75 modem. Better speeds, better Stand Alone 5g, more efficient.
Battery life, I am getting about 1.5 hours more SoT. The M13+ panel with HOP 3.0 touch response rate is better, faster RAM and Storage.

Sometimes its whats under the hood. Big upgrades in the hardware that actually run your device.

I went from the S24u to the S25Uu. It is amazing!

I tried image remastering in s25 ultra and I'm disappointed. The images turns to gainy, and downgraded the quality. Tried the same with s24 ultra, image became better. Also there is no navigation gesture option like s24 ultra in s25.

There is navigation gesture option. I use it everyday

[AndrewJSev]

Umm... Have you considered searching settings for "navigation gestures?" 😂

used s25 ultra for a week and sending back for full refund ... camera is **bleep** and glittery.. good decision you made in time.

[AndrewJSev]

L take. Soooo much is improved.

The phone is a monster 👻 I'm not saying the 24 ultra was weak, it wasn't. But the 25 ultra finally feels like an Ultra phone! Speed, efficiency, camera...etc. it's all better

There's a ton of opinions in here and I dont think anyone is right or wrong. The people that upgraded are obviously going to defend their decision and blast anyone who else thinks otherwise and vice versa. Its pointless to convince each other to choose your side so why bother?

With that being said, I've been on the Samsung train since the S10+.

I think with Samsung's latest phones, they are taking a similar approach to Google where their phones look similar to iPhones (shape, OS design). Just a hunch but it feels like they are trying to take a bit out of Apple's market share. Business wise this is probably easier/cheaper than innovating and trying new things which is the Samsung that I miss.

I strongly believe if you have the word Max or Ultra in your name, you need to make it feel Max or Ultra. The people that are complaining about the bluetooth S-pen have every right to feel that way - it's an Ultra device. There's nothing Ultra about removing features, especially if you aren't lowering the price or adding another feature to replace the one you removed.

I think we're at a pivotal point though, because the Chinese brands are innovating and gaining lots of publicity through tech reviewers. It's only a matter of time until the big brands like Samsung and Apple have no choice but to compete again.

I'm using an S24 Ultra and don't feel there's enough there to warrant switching, especially with a higher price tag this year in Canada. If the mobile landscape is anything like it is now when it is time to upgrade it won't be to a Samsung

SD card slots are never coming back in high-end devices they just aren't people got to get over that it's not coming back

So for the past 7 years, I've been a loyal iPhone user, always thinking about upgrading but scared of losing familiar features. But Samsung has really stepped up its game! Now that I've switched, I'm feeling bittersweet – happy about the upgrade, but also a little sad to end my iPhone trilogy. 😭😊
