Hoping the 3x lens will be upgraded to 50mp as well but no; they probably saving the 3x lens upgrade for the S26 Ultra just to say there is a camera "upgrade" next year while retaining the same 200mp primary sensor from the S23 Ultra.

Same specs for 5 years. Nice samsung,

The only feature I'm using the s pen for is taking pictures 🤣 they should remove the s pen after this and give us a larger battery

0 real updates, Samsung has become too complacent

For the removal of Bluetooth function in S-Pen, it doesn't actually bothers me the most since I'm relying to the watch which can display the camera preview to see my position in real-time, and just tap or double pinch from the new One UI Watch update. Before, it was fun using it, now it's different, even the Air Actions now wasn't used on a daily usage.

I miss the 10x zoom camera. 3x and 5x is almost the same.

Using the S-Pen as a shutter is a main feature for me on my S23U.

The OnePlus 13s shutter burst and action mode are the single biggest quality of life improvement I've seen in smartphone cameras for years. It's severely underrated by YouTubers for some reason. For someone with a kid and a dog, capturing motion shots is essential.

I preordered the S25U to upgrade from my S22U mainly because I'm ready to move on from the curved screen. I've gone through more tempered glass screen protectors on the S22U than I did on my S8, which had one of the more extreme curvatures to the phone. I'm looking forward to the upgraded zoom capabilities with the S25U and higher resolution ultrawide lens, but hope I don't end up regretting the decision. The S22U (I do not have the Exynos variant) has been an absolute workhorse and has put up with a ton of use and abuse since I've owned it, and I've had 0 issues with it. The only things pushing me to upgrade aside from the curved display are battery life is garbage now and the charge port has started loosening up (I've cleaned it with floss picks and unfortunately the port itself is loosening). I got my S22U during the preorder, so I'd say it has earned its place as one of the best phones I've owned, and that includes past Pixels, HTC, and iPhone's, so hopefully the S25U lives up to the bar that has been set.

My photos are fire from the S22 Ultra. People edit 90% of their pictures. I shoot in Pro Mode and edit RAW photos. I hate Samsung's image processing but the phone is 🔥

How much better can these phones get? I mean for real. They already take amazing pics and videos so now they offer more AI stuff because there’s really not much to improve on the other features. The phones are super fast great internet reception cam/vid etc that’s it. I think it’s a beautiful design i never loved the square phone. This flat edges and sharp rounded corners look amazing. I ordered my s25 ultra in black!

[ENXNE]

Basically SAME. I will be still rocking with my Pixel 7 Pro next couple of years.

[angelite]

Samsung following Apples business model. Chinese phones are already far ahead in terms of specs and innovation. I'm still using my S21 Ultra and it still is very good in 2025 although the battery has been replaced last year.

[MadCouch]

The Log is a big feature to be honest it is available on iPhone's, now we can have it on Samsung too.

[artiombeknazaryan]

Planned to upgrade from S21Ultra but now i'm not sure it worth it. Sammy sure disappoints this year.

[roarickshu]

Is the phone you are holding as the video begins the Jade Galaxy s25 Ultra?

[mykittenisagrandmaster]

As time goes by it's not easy to keep upgrading things on smartphones because there's just so much they can do

[_tj]

I can't wrap my head around why they would remove bluetooth on the sPen. I can't imagine it cost more than a few cents to include. I don't use the air gestures - they're a bit gimmicky, but I certainly have used the sPen plenty of times to remotely snap group photos or use it when there is nobody to take a photo. That is genuinely frustrating

[williammaverick]

Samsung brought back the iconic look of the iPhone 4 way back in 2009. It's so nostalgic and i love it.

Danny, did you get to try pictures with sudden motion, like kids or pets? Are they still blurred like every previous Samsung?
