I pre-ordered the S25U, thinking that it would be a step up from my S23U. Like you, I didn't find it to be a worthwhile upgrade. I contacted Samsung within the return window, returned the phone, and got a refund.

Used to be, you could upgrade every other model year and be confident that it was a good value proposition. Samsung now seems to be content with making minor year-to-year upgrades and still charging a premium. In my opinion, the value isn't there anymore.

I have no regrets trading my S24 Ultra for the S25 Ultra. And I don't have any issues with my phone

You're right coming from the s22ultra to the s25ultra I most definitely notice alot of differences and I so love everything about it

[meself]

In general and it varies there isn't too much difference between the next model and prior model

My thoughts exactly

[VerbumVeritum]

Taking away Bluetooth from the S Pen was a huge disappointment. I used those features often, as do many other people I know. I will definitely be keeping my S24 Ultra for sometime to come.

That was one of the deal killers for me. Ultra should mean ULTRA, not downgrading certain things.

I returned it twice due to heating issues. I dealt with overheating on my s21 ultra for four years. I'm just irritated that the s25 series is also overheating.

[mquin2112]

Let me ask...Is it heating during use, or it it heating during wireless charging? My S24 Ultra will get hot when wireless charging if I leave my Magsafe Case on, but not if I take it off. Irritating but it's what I have to do every night.

I tried three different s25 Ultra units and one s25 plus units. They all had overheating issues. That's the biggest reason to skip out or return to me.
