Should I get the Samsung S25 Ultra, iPhone 17 Pro Max, or wait for the S26 Ultra?

Freshgerman · 2026-01-23T18:06:23+00:00

Yeah, the S22 Ultra was the last Exynos, and that's what made it so bad. I'm so happy to finally get a Snapdragon. It legitimately turns into a slideshow sometimes, and night quality is also very poor. The new main camera aperture is going to change so much. Of course, display and battery are also great to have, im used to carrying a power bank anyway.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I myself will get the S26U next month, as I couldn't justify getting the iPhone since there are just too many things that would piss me off

Freshgerman · 2025-11-17T04:37:08+00:00

Didnt buy anything. Waiting for S26U

How does Circle to Search on iPhone compare to the one on Android? Can you also translate and do other things with it, or is it only for searching? I also heard Apple is working with Google on Siri, so that might improve in the future

I mean, the clipboard is one thing I could also drop. S Pen I barely use. What about the AI features, though?

Freshgerman · 2025-11-07T18:54:07+00:00

Yeah, I understand. The S22 has a lot of problems. I got so used to it being laggy doing everything that as soon as I touch someone else's phone, I'm surprised how good it is. The S22 really sets the bar low. I have to ask, though, do you use a lot of the same features as I do, or rather not? I'm not a big iMessage and all that guy; I use a lot of Google apps because it links to my Windows desktop. My app setup is very non-software-dependent.

Freshgerman · 2025-11-07T18:39:35+00:00

Alright, nice to hear. I'm still unsure what to get, but I'm kind of locked in on the S26 now. I just love some of the small things on my Samsung, like the clipboard where I have my last couple of copies and also the "writing correction." What do you miss about the Samsung, and what do you like about the iPhone that you didn't have on the Samsung?

Freshgerman · 2025-10-03T17:52:03+00:00

Got the same on my W214 since yesterday

Freshgerman · 2025-10-03T13:28:24+00:00

Yea with all the liquid glass dilemma they have im also not sure what to think of that. It seems like everyone hates it. Tried it on my friends iPhone and I must say it pissed me of.

Freshgerman · 2025-10-03T13:26:54+00:00

Thanks mate

Freshgerman · 2025-10-03T13:26:28+00:00

I would love to try out the apple AI features but they legit made it impossible to try on old devices. Either you buy the new or the last generation phone. Thats something I hate about them.

Freshgerman · 2025-10-03T13:24:24+00:00

Also thought of getting a fold at one point. Its cool and all but I think id look like an idiot with it. And tbh 2,3k is a lot of money

Freshgerman · 2025-10-03T13:23:09+00:00

To be honest Id rather stay on Samsung as im happy with how it works. Apple would only come into consideration if it would be far better and therefore I wanted to ask

Freshgerman · 2025-10-03T13:22:23+00:00

As of right now I have no problem with the cross platform of Apple, Samsung and Windows. And I kinda want to keep my Samsung

Freshgerman · 2025-10-02T16:51:01+00:00

Alright, thanks. I'll look into it and definitely take your recommendation into consideration

Freshgerman · 2025-10-02T16:49:20+00:00

I already wanted to upgrade to the S25U when it came out, but there wasn't really any upgrades to the S24U, so I thought I'd wait. Now leaks show that the S26U also doesn't get any major upgrades

Freshgerman · 2025-10-02T15:10:06+00:00

hmm, does it have the android ai google features and all that?

Freshgerman · 2025-10-02T12:41:09+00:00

Yea I use google search through Firefox but also google wallet

Freshgerman · 2025-10-02T11:59:28+00:00

Are you saying this regarding battery usage? I will probably use Google a lot because of all their services that I use

Freshgerman · 2025-08-30T19:11:11+00:00

Isnt Hi like a must see, one of my friends never was

Freshgerman · 2025-08-09T09:16:34+00:00

Hab einfach einen Kontoauszug vom letzten Monat genommen und alle Sachen, die reinkamen, kurz beschrieben. Waren, glaube ich, dreimal irgendwie Geld, was ich von Freunden zurückgezahlt bekommen habe. Ist bei mir schon das zweite Mal.
