anyone else Nursing s20 ultras trusty old S10 ultras waiting for better days? Been hoping Samsung would stop hating loyal customers and return perks that made Samsung great instead of a knock off Apple. waiting for Samsung to use a banana with a bite out of it for their logo..If my phone's hold out I'll wait to see if the s26 is an answer or another dud.. Samsung please return to the 1) external memory card slot 2)3.5 jack 3) dedicated off button 4)classy looking beveled edge solid phones instead of the delicate paper thin break if ya look at them flimsy models. 5) better batterys with less heat.... Am I the only one ?

I think you are the only one. I loved my note 9. It was the best! That's what hooked me to Galux. With that said we lost some and gained some benefits. I still have a note 10 just traded in my S22U for the S25U. No SD card, I miss that, but we have much faster memory now and less fragmentation. No MST, everywhere has nfc payments now so don't really miss it. No headphone jack, Bluetooth buds don't need replacing as often, I can also use USBc headphone if I need, better waterproofing, more space for battery. Way tougher builds, titanium with gg. Have had to use my insurance with note 9 and and note 10. My S22U ate falls, was a real tank. This S25U is lighter so I'm expecting similar results if I have an accident. Don't get me wrong bro they took out some really good features but they also added good ones and good hardware. Unfortunately they can't afford to make the mistake BlackBerry made, they must move with the market and it's not always everything we want but they are still doing great things in tech. Yes they must be careful not to become useless like iphones but the markets, not us small group of power users are the ones who dictate which direction the tech is heading in. I use a zf6 and the s22u I'm really enjoying these devices. They not flimsy at all 🙏

For those that love their new S25 - Ultra! 🤩😍🥰

Thoughts? 

Should Samsung next year bump their base model to 6.3? That's a very great and comfortable size. Do you agree?

Titanium to all models and size. It's only fair to be paying for the amount we are now. (Definitely not complaining)

Maybe everything the ultra has but no need of the 200mp

Or S pen. (Not asking for much?

So I haven’t had a android since the S8 plus. This year I’m swapping back to android. I am planing on getting the s25 ultra. Since I haven’t had an android in years what has changed. Also what accessories and cases would you guys recommend? Right now currently rocking an iPhone 14Pro Max and an Apple Watch. I do plan on getting a galaxy watch so recommendations on which watch to get would also be appreciated.

I have the Galaxy Watch Ultra paired with the S25U and I really like it. Spigen, Dbrand, or Pitaka would be a great option for a case.

It's quite a bit better than before. I did the same thing, I had a S9, went to Apple for a few years, moved back to Android with a Pixel 7 and now I'm back in a S24 Ultra.

I think the ecosystem has grown up significantly, not quite on par with Apple but it's close.

I'm a fan of Bellroy leather cases to dress it up, and Spigen cases for everyday use.

I'm using the Buds3 Pro for daily use and the Buds FE for working out. They stay in my ears better.

I also have the Watch 6 Classic. I tried the Ultra but it wasn't for me. Great watch, but I like the look of the Classic and rotating bezel.

The Pitaka Pin case is amazing. It gives you 3 action buttons using NFC!

How many here have made the switch either for their first time to Samsung or like me switched back to Samsung from IOS or other platforms? I'm super glad I switched back, wanted to for a long time. Finally did with the S25 ultra and I will never look back. It's so freeing and just a great comparison to my experience with IOS previously. My last time with Samsung before this was the s22 series. Anyone else?

Great phone

[ShawnMotivated]

I am pleased with the device however I will never be able to justify $1300 for a phone! But here i am lol so with that being said. I am very happy with the purchase and how it performs. I am a very big guy on speed and performance and I lacked that with my previous devices. I came from a moto stylus 5g 2024 and I am getting used to the operating system again. Earlier this year I had a Samsung a15 5g so compared those 2 was light and day but I always wanted the Ultra and I am honestly impressed with the speed, snappy-ness and how quick it moves. So with that being said, I look forward to the updates in the future and I don't plan on upgrading for a while. I just hope this phone with retain its value on the up coming years so when I am ready to upgrade, I could get a pretty good discount. 👍 thank you for the fast and discreet shipping. That was a bonus. 

I do have one questions. What's are you all opinions on the speaker loudness. Is it not as loud as if should be or is it just be? It's very sharp and crispy but I feel it could be louder. Let me know your thoughts.
