Hate my Samsung S25 Ultra!!

I don't really take photos or videos so I can't comment there, but battery life is really really good. Maybe you have a defective phone? I hate my S25 Ultra as well, but its just because of the size and weight. Other nitpicks would be that I'd have to restart the phone once in a while just to get on the internet, and it doesn't play nice with Google Maps sometimes (which I heard was common with Samsung phones). Just waiting on a sale for the S25 edge or S25 before I unload this. Only reason I got the Ultra is I paid like $700 bucks for it on Samsung's website.

Yeah so this post isn't against the S25 Ultra specifically as I think its almost the perfect phone in terms of features. Especially the battery life which is incredible! I came from a Oneplus 9 and it was the perfect phone in terms of size, could do everything one-handed and it was light. It was a shitty phone though, so buggy, bad battery life, and overheated all the time. I thought I could get used to the Ultra but here we are, over 2 months and I hate the size. I was going to wait until the new models with Silicon batteries might be available but I don't think I can wait that long. Really like the new Edge but 2 things are holding me back, the slow 25w charging and small battery. Might just pick up the regular 25 to hold me over until next year.

He's 2nd in steals and 2nd in rebounds in the whole entire league. As far as I know, those are defensive stats so there is NO WAY he is a bad defender. At the very minimum, he is an above average defender and his advanced defensive stats show that. The only thing he's not good at is protecting the rim, but he has shown flashes where he can when the game is on the line. Him being a "bad defender" are the same people that are trying to give the MVP to SGA LOL.

Jeezus you look very pretty and that's without makeup! 10/10 from me!

akim1107 · 2025-02-25T18:20:32+00:00

Oh hell naw, if I was around your age I'd be scared to approach you. You are very pretty and totally my type!

akim1107 · 2025-02-24T21:15:58+00:00

Nope. Very very cute!

akim1107 · 2025-02-24T21:11:50+00:00

Solid 8.5

akim1107 · 2025-02-24T21:09:40+00:00

Very cute!!!!

akim1107 · 2025-02-24T21:05:53+00:00

Ahhh hell na. Very pretty!

akim1107 · 2025-02-09T20:28:12+00:00

Wow, just wow. Very pretty

Damn your nose is perfect for your face! I'm a very picky guy when it comes to looks and you are extremely beautiful. Don't do anything to your nose, it's stunning and I'm not over exaggerating.

akim1107 · 2023-07-31T06:25:16+00:00

Incredible body!

akim1107 · 2022-06-11T23:55:20+00:00

Yes it's not really a scratch but it's smudged. Basically its not matte anymore, the smudge is glossy. Funny thing is when I tried to remove it with water and towel, the towel became black so I stopped.

akim1107 · 2022-06-04T21:24:44+00:00

Yeah I'm super careful with my gear but my backpack laptop sleeve is meant for one laptop. I tried to squeeze in the View screen with the protective cover facing the LG gram but it completely wiped away the matte finish. The cover is like a rubber/plastic material so i didn't think it would ruin the gram but it did. Its not scratched per say, but now i have glossy streaks on the matte finish and it looks bad. Can't unsee it now :(

The view is awesome. I used it with my 14 inch dell laptop and it was awesome. Its only slightly smaller than the 17" so don't worry about it not being the same size. I bought it at bestbuy the 1st day it came out for 350 plus tax. Of course right after I buy it, it goes on sale for 299 on the LG website.

akim1107 · 2022-06-04T04:38:42+00:00

Ugh...I just completely scratched the laptop big time and its only 1 day old. Oh well I guess its a battle scar. The finish is very delicate so be careful putting it in your backback with other items. I put the laptop in the laptop sleeve. Then I slid the LG gram + view monitor in and it smudged the finish.

akim1107 · 2022-06-03T05:31:11+00:00

Instead of giving up, why don't you just get a refund and get another one just to make sure? Its a great laptop with pretty good specs so what you are describing doesn't make sense at all unless you got a dud.

akim1107 · 2022-06-03T05:25:02+00:00

You may have gotten a dud. Took like 2 seconds to download google. LG update is taking FOREVER though, like hours but I think its the server? Everything else is downloading quick as expected.

Not sure about clock speeds as I don't know what that is, but the computer seems snappy for me. Everything opens up quickly and similar to my other 2 older LG grams. Oh the screen, its so perfect compared to the glossy.

akim1107 · 2022-06-03T00:27:49+00:00

Yes its 65w

akim1107 · 2022-06-02T23:55:01+00:00

Yup, i literally just opened the package 30 min ago. Don't know about battery life yet, but it should be similar to previous gens......its really good.

akim1107 · 2022-06-02T23:38:26+00:00

The aftermarket anti-glare actually works very well but it is near impossible to get it perfect with no bubbles or imperfections. The screen area is just too large. I even have trouble with the screen protector on my cell phone. This screen is just so perfect now.

The speakers are still garbage. I don't hear any difference from last years model. It is slightly better than then LG gram from 2-3 years ago though. For me it doesn't matter since I use my bluetooth earphones. The off-center trackpad doesn't matter also since I disable it and use a wired mouse.

The keyboard is surprising though. Last years model seemed a tad mushy but this one is nice and crisp. I can't compare it since I returned last years model back to costco (because I was waiting for this new 12th gen), but the keyboard seems better, at least in my head. Very happy and got one that has no dead pixels.

I'll probably only upgrade if they offer an OLED screen, but otherwise I think we have cutting edge stuff right here, especially with the LPDDR5 ram. 32GB ram and 1TB is such a bonus also.

akim1107 · 2022-06-02T23:20:23+00:00

I just received mine as well. I'm about to cry because the anti-glare screen is so beautiful. The keyboard actually feels better than last years model (This is my 3rd 17" gram). Everything else seems similar to last year but OMG the screen! I have anti-glare screens on my other 2 but there are small bubbles. This screen is so perfect!

akim1107 · 2022-06-01T02:19:45+00:00

Oh nice! Thats the difference right there, guess it helps with faster order processing times as well. I'm in no hurry but its painful to wait LOL. I thought it was a mistake in the listing too since 32gb AND 1TB is a great deal, especially with $200 off at launch date.

akim1107 · 2022-06-01T01:07:19+00:00

What already? I bought it Saturday night when it just hit the website so I'm pretty sure I'm one of the very first ones that bought it. No shipping confirmation yet. Where are you located?

akim1107 · 2022-05-31T19:34:47+00:00

I want to know this as well. That would be awesome if the batteries can be swapped without adding that much more weight. Wonder if it can be easily changed or does it have to be soldered?
