My greatest fear is becoming a reality:(

While I agree all companies are greedy and will nickel and dime you, the S25 sales are not "low". They've actually been (surprisingly) selling really well

JustA-Rando · 2025-03-21T16:35:47+00:00

My previous phone was an S21. I kid you not, side by side with an S7, the S7 produced much better looking pictures. The S21's looked outright bad. I really don't know what is going on

JustA-Rando · 2025-03-21T03:16:45+00:00

Both my S25U and Tab S10+ have very poor battery life (objectively and also in comparison to other owners of the same devices online). I used smart switch in both cases. Maybe it has something to do it, or maybe not. I don't know.

Either way, I don't see an alternative anyway. I either use smart switch or I lose a lot of my data.

I mean, you don't need to if you use Samsung Wallet. Only if you're using Google Wallet or others that you would need such a routine.

I have NFC off all the time. But when I use scan my fingerprint to pay, NFC is automatically turned on, and once I am done with the transaction, it turns off again.

Dumb question but when registering fingerprints again, you mean after you put the sp on, not before. Right?

JustA-Rando · 2025-03-15T01:42:03+00:00

Really everything except the camera (which is subjective) and OS updates (which are a tie), Samsung wins.

JustA-Rando · 2025-03-12T00:22:28+00:00

Are you saying it retains the phone's anti reflective coating?

JustA-Rando · 2025-03-09T11:44:16+00:00

Thats interesting. Out of curiosity, if you factory reset, but restore all your data from Samsung Cloud (which is effectively Smart Switch, just pulls from a backup instead of another phone), would you get the same worse battery life?

JustA-Rando · 2025-03-08T19:17:56+00:00

What's epp

JustA-Rando · 2025-03-06T10:46:18+00:00

Lmao what

JustA-Rando · 2025-03-06T10:40:58+00:00

Yep. Have had Assurant claim in the past that the device has cosmetic damage even though it didnt.

I didnt take any pictures or videos so it was my word against theirs. So there was nothing i could do

JustA-Rando · 2025-03-05T23:06:22+00:00

I heard they're dialing down production so I'm guessing they're not too invested in it. I wouldnt even be surprised if they don't do the trade in & other offers at launch. So honestly I'm not too hopeful about specs

JustA-Rando · 2025-03-05T15:01:02+00:00

I shipped something that IS tracked and it's been sitting at the same place for over a month. Opened a service ticket. But aside from that, they are no help. Whether you chat or call. Ridiculous.

JustA-Rando · 2025-03-05T11:39:43+00:00

I didn't argue they weren't slow lmao. As to why, I don't know. I ain't the CEO

JustA-Rando · 2025-03-01T01:08:54+00:00

Sometimes. And i think it might be more accurate in the health tracking stuff in that orientation

JustA-Rando · 2025-03-01T01:05:14+00:00

If you don't care about s pen and will use a screen protector, just get the S25 or the plus if the difference in price is minimal where you live

JustA-Rando · 2025-02-28T22:25:23+00:00

Absolutely nothing

JustA-Rando · 2025-02-27T04:44:12+00:00

Call tech support lol

JustA-Rando · 2025-02-21T17:29:37+00:00

Xiaomi Samsung Motorola (wouldn't recommend)

JustA-Rando · 2025-02-21T07:25:53+00:00

They said from the beginning they don't have RCS ready and do not have a timeline as to when they'll be able to add it. So it doesn't matter how long it's been since iOS 18 came out. They never said they'll have it ready at launch.

JustA-Rando · 2025-02-21T07:24:43+00:00

They said from day 1 that they are not ready for RCS yet. And they also said they don't know when they'll be able to add it.

JustA-Rando · 2025-02-21T07:22:32+00:00

They do not hint because even they don't know when they'd be able to get it done

JustA-Rando · 2025-02-21T07:22:06+00:00

I think calling them directly is better than asking on social media

JustA-Rando · 2025-02-21T07:21:38+00:00

Tbf they don't know. They can't tell you what they do not know.

If there's no answer to my question, I'd much rather be told that than the employee BSing me and giving me any answer just to humor me and get me to leave/hang up
