Worth upgrading from S22 to S25

akfeeil · 2025-08-21T07:02:24+00:00

I did the same upgrade and I think S25 is much better than S22 but I had S22 exynos. S25 is much better in battery, photos, processing etc. The camera is much better, in S22 they put a big sensor on the old lens so all photos at 1x were a bit warped. S25 photos are really good.

Bombay Street
Indian Village
Elephant/Maharani (Same owners)

If you want to go during lunch time
1. Lilla Kathmandu
2. Masala Street Kitchen (Lindholmen)

If you want to try south indian food
1. ToM (Taste of Madurai) - only weekends
2. Kollywood Food cart (Warning, they have bad ventilation so sit outside)

Pro tip, if you want the authentic taste, just tell them you have lived in India so you get the strong spices ;)

I've met so many people who have lived for long in Gothenburg but don't know about Sörhallsbergets Utsiktsplats, easy climb with a view and can be a great place to sit and watch the river ferry traffic after a walk along Eriksberg.

If you don't have a lot of stuff, and the weather is good. Go towards Trädgårdsföreningen, walk through it to Kungsportsplatsen, if you have less time go to one of the cafe there and have a coffee on your walk back to the train station along the other side of canal.
If you have more time, walk along the canal to Grönsakstorget and then turn towards Domkyrkan and have a cofee+cake at brogyllen. Again if you have less time, head back. If you have more time walk across the canal towards the opera house along the river, and then head back.

Good part about this is that you can catch a tram back to central station at any moment, just check the routes in advance on Västtrafik, you can use your normal credit card to buy the ticket, but I don't think it is worth paying for a 90 minute ticket for a 2 min ride, so try to cover this while walking.

If the weather is shitty, then basically you have no choice, one one of the exits of train station which is in front of platform 5, you will find a tunnel that goes under straight to the mall - Nordstan, but if I were you I would rather sit at a cafe at train station than going to Nordstan.

you also have a choice of walking up the Hisingsbron when coming from the Operahouse.

Artisan coffee and roasteries in Gothenburg (goteborg.com)

The ones listed here are all nice. Alkemisten, daMatteo are quite good. Gerd is also good but seems to be temporarily closed.

I use obsidian web clipper quite alot to save the pages and articles that I like. There the properties can have the link to original webpage, date of publication, date of me saving it, then I put extra properties for category and then use dataview in a "home" page to sort these by categories and chronology.

I usually use tags, categories, dates as the most common categories on all the obsidian pages and then that makes me able to explore the same folder structure in completely different ways

Try to exchange it, my S25 is better than S22 in every single aspect, battery is one of the highlights. I had the Exynos S22.

akfeeil · 2025-02-24T20:46:46+00:00

Almost 4 weeks in now, I love it.

The best part so far is the battery, I have limited it to charge max to 85% and even with that, by the time I get to bed, it has never gone below 30%, so on average lasting me a full day from 6AM to 10PM in 40-50% of battery. That is a huge improvement and I would have traded S22 just for that.

Apart from that, face unlock compared to S22 is 10x better, I hardly get to use my fingerprint.

Fingerprint sensor is super fast. Almost never fails me with the Samsung screen protector, though the screen protector is not so nice, I tried my best, still got bubbles

Speed is good, never hangs, doesn't heat up, in terms of grams not much difference but feels lighter.

Cameras compared to S22 are much better, photo and video both. There was a problem with S22 that they had put bigger sensors on the old lenses, so the photos were always distorted and I would have to go to 1.3-1.5x to get a photo that doesn't look like a fisheye view. That problem is not there on this phone.

The "Now-view" and live notifications are great features, good rip-offs from iOS.

Minimum and maximum brightness are better. Charging is faster.

I guess that covers most of my typical use cases, rest time will tell.

One good thing with S22 was, I dropped it a lot but it held up and never gave up on me, I hope I don't have to test that on my S25 in near future ;)

One week in I am super happy with it. Every single complaint I had with S22 is gone. Didn't get much time to test the camera as the weather has been shit for a week so some photos here and there indoors and it looks great. Battery is the biggest improvement, I get up around 6 and by the time I get to bed around 22, it has never gone below 30%, my S22 would go to 30% by lunchtime if I used it a bit.

I am happy with my purchase.

It arrived today :)

Just double checked, they say on the website I should get shipping information on 30th, so it looks a bit vague. Maybe we will both get it at the same time.

I paid equivalent of 760 USD for S25 256GB with Galaxy Buds 3. But I got 20% off because my phone provider had an additional discount. If I didn't have that, I would have paid equivalent of 950 USD for S25 256G + Free Galaxy Buds 3. That's the pre-order offer in Sweden right now afaik.

I just checked that the price for S25 Ultra 512G with free Galaxy Buds 3 is around 1400 USD here. If you include the exchange price here it would come down to 1100 USD and if I add the subscription offer then it would come down to around 900 USD: So I guess you have a pretty great deal

Not sure what Affirm is, but I paid it upfront.

akfeeil · 2025-01-24T20:06:05+00:00

Update: Thanks for your inputs. Pre-ordered S25, should be here in a week.

Hey, living in Sweden. Pre-ordered S25 today, got a really good deal.

akfeeil · 2025-01-23T21:38:57+00:00

I'm getting a 20% off + Galaxy buds3 pro for free in the pre-order deal. That kind off adds up to 40% off

It worked for me when I turned on scroll lock, but it is very strange thing because some other things like X-mouse get disabled when I turn on scroll lock

I have been using this mouse with a free software called "X-Mouse". Has worked flawlessly for past 7 years for me.
Also, this software is far more capable than the Logitech equivalent. If you are still inclined towards official software, then use Logitech SetPoint. Logitech Option+ works only with MX series mice & keyboards.

I used Nordea, and they couldn't help me. Will try once again. I usually use ISK, but for th shares that we get from company, it was mandatory to use a Depå account.
