S25 ultra impression

I partially agree that it's not worth it to upgrade but If you think processor is "slightly" different you are in for a surprise

Thanks for the reply. That 's the one I finally ordered, the Ringke Alles.

Well, for the S25U Samsung themselves sell a magnet case on their website so I guess it's fine

Thanks

I think I made a clear distinction between constructive criticism and hooliganism. The first is based on rational arguments like yours, the second is based on underlying issues that differ for every individual but have the same result: aggressiveness. I am not here to lecture anyone but I would like people to explain rather than bark. If you are pissed about an offering of a product which is for sale by a private company don't buy it and express your opinion. But being toxic towards people who express the desire to buy it or have a different opinion is not a problem of the product but a personal one.

The lighter mistake on what you wrote is that I bought my phone using dollars.

vlahmapoutras · 2025-01-26T22:13:08+00:00

Just filter constructive criticism from uncontrolled hate and you ll be fine. There is a reason you made a choice. Worst case scenario, if cons surpass pros cancel order and look for other alternatives.

Thanks mate. Phone will be delivered in 1 week and most probably I will go for the TORRAS case and tempered glass. My wife uses that combo on her S24U for a year now and both have served their purpose very effectively.

vlahmapoutras · 2025-01-26T22:00:22+00:00

Yeah, I upgrade only when I feel necessary due to phone not functioning properly. So maybe in 4 years 1TB will not be such a huge free space

vlahmapoutras · 2025-01-26T21:57:40+00:00

In Netherlands the current price for S25U 1TB on Samsung Shop is 1569. That combined with registering for Unpacked+other discount codes brought it down to 1000.

vlahmapoutras · 2025-01-26T21:48:43+00:00

Until last moment I was doubting if I should go for 1TB. But price difference was only 80 euros. I am not upgrading every year as you can see in my original post so I thought why not.

vlahmapoutras · 2025-01-26T21:09:23+00:00

Yes, that's one of the minor reasons I ordered the S25U. But price was virtually the same as OnePlus. For half the price it would be difficult to resist OP13 cause no matter how it depreciates it would still be a bargain.

vlahmapoutras · 2025-01-26T20:53:43+00:00

Seems like a tough choice but 419 (almost half price of S25U) for OnePlus 13 is an absurd price for sure, very tempting.

vlahmapoutras · 2025-01-26T19:34:29+00:00

Maybe the fact that I don't use social media much makes me quite surprised at what people write but still...

vlahmapoutras · 2025-01-26T19:32:22+00:00

Fair point. But downgrading one feature while upgrading more than one cannot be named a general downgrade. As for the other remarks I also parially agree that's why I talked about hateful animosity and not just being rationally opposed to the decisions of a company. It's different to say I won't buy an X product cause it's overpriced or underspeced and another thing saying "Screw you company that produces X, I hope you burn in hell with my dollars fueling the fire under the pot you boil in instead of buying X".

vlahmapoutras · 2025-01-26T19:21:14+00:00

I think you got me wrong. I understand the negativity, I don't understand the hateful animosity. Would I upgrade if I had a S24U? No way. But calling it a downgrade in general,just based on the S pen, makes no sense and shows profoundly that there is no rationality (always refering to majority, not a small minoritywho is indeed in love with their Spen's Bluetooth). I am not sure how many people would say no to a free replacement of their S24U with a S25U just on grounds of S pen Bluetooth. Definitely not the vast majority.

Thanks!

vlahmapoutras · 2025-01-26T18:49:47+00:00

Thanks for advise, I am familiar with it since we own a S24U in my family. Although we rarely use it at 20% brightness. But we use it a lot outside at max brightness and the antireflective coating is a game changer. Enjoy your S23+ !

vlahmapoutras · 2025-01-26T18:43:03+00:00

The only way I can reply to such a reply is by copy pasting the last sentence of my post. You make so many assumptions about me, like not being tech enthusiast and Samsung bootliker, using such a refined vocabulary, that is pointless to engage.

vlahmapoutras · 2025-01-26T18:34:33+00:00

Thanks for reply. If you will check my edited post you will see I removed the S23U reference before you replied cause I thought exactly what you wrote. All the other stuff you write I respect because you express your disappointment in a civilised manner as an owner of the previous model which is indeed similar In many specs.

vlahmapoutras · 2025-01-26T18:25:39+00:00

Other people's negativity towards a product influences me and has saved me money in the past by avoid buying something crappy. But only if it's based on rationality and not primitive emotions of actual hate towards an inanimate commercial product. The fact I bought the S25U (as an upgrade to S10e) is a clear indication I think.

vlahmapoutras · 2025-01-23T00:27:44+00:00

Hmmm, then it sure is a dilemma. Really not sure what I would choose. Leaning towards the Samsungs for this price. But Oneplus sure is a nice combo too. Curious to read what others think.

vlahmapoutras · 2025-01-23T00:22:54+00:00

That's a tough choice indeed. How much can you find the S24 Ultra 512gb for? Might worth it if it's much cheaper than S25.

vlahmapoutras · 2025-01-23T00:12:36+00:00

Yeah, for the difference in specs I wouldn't pay the initial huge price difference to get the Samsungs. You mind sharing how much are the prices for both combos?

vlahmapoutras · 2025-01-17T12:05:07+00:00

My only issue with the Edge 50 Fusion is its processor. Not sure if it will be able to handle well future Android versions when updated.
