No one is talking about the 5G mmWave antenna placement, which is quite thoughtful of Samsung to avoid palm enclosure.
I noticed that too but didn’t think to mention it! Nice observation! Il mention it in the future
@@nickackermanchannel best phone
The reason why people are criticizing Samsung for removing the bluetooth functionality from the S-Pen is the price. For $1,299, we should not have any features removed no matter how niche it is. There would be less complaining if the price was cheaper.
Except that you ignore how other components (mainly components from Qualcomm) get more expensive every year. I don't blame them at all for cutting cost where they can to aid in keeping the price consistent. Especially when that cost cutting is a feature that next to nobody used. Or even knew the phone had.
No SMART person pays full price for new phones! The trade in deals are killer every year! These small changes, are just excuses cuz you can't afford one!
@@1993rufusI always get the phone through T-Mobile I def don't have the funds to drop it all at one shot on a cell..I just pay it off monthly bill. Most people I speak to upgrade through their carriers ..
@@1993rufus you understand these programs aren't available in many parts of the world? The US market is not the only one.
I mean, Samsung confirmed that they removed it because no one was using it, so there's that.
Traded in my s22 ultra. Got a huge deal, cant wait for my s25 ultra the days cant go by faster .
I traded my s23 ultra for the S25 ultra 512 gb and also got the watch 7 44mm for $46. Paid $540 total. Just an amazing preorder deal. Honestly I'm not concerned about the bluetooth being removed from the s-pen. I've had the S21 ultra and 23 ultra and never used that feature. I honestly get the ultra for the screen size like most probably do
Only 1% of users have used that bluetooth feature on the S pen. But now suddenly its a deal breaker. Humans....
Samsung did what they always do the 21 ultra was round and no one made a big deal so now it's back i love it as far as the s pen only thing ill miss is the fact I could have used it for camera
You got that on the Samsung website? I have a 512 S23 and I'm not seeing that deal.
@@najdo if he had and listen to Bluetooth speakers he would have used it.
I did the same, except I went for the ultra watch. Cost me like 750, and I had an s24 ultra with 512gb
As a disabled user with cerebral palsy i love esim I can't open and put the sim in on my own so being able to digitally connect to service makes my life easier and more independent.
Yes it is for many people like you, i am glad you are enjoying these services
My son has the same problem. He would agree 👍
2 likes and I’ll buy an s25 ultra
Edit: looks like I’m pre ordering lol
The s25 will be my first flagship in years.
"You give people, they complain."
Human nature it's laughable sometimes
Give what
@@cs-ge5kx anything people just like to complain, in this case a non Bluetooth s-pen.
@Jesse-x4o well I dont care for that I dont use it but I have the s24 ultra and it a great for so to me there no point to upgrade
@@Jesse-x4oso Samsung will now use 25 watt wireless charging and you'll upgrade only for that why can't they use a larger battery like every Chinese phone
Ppl will always complain 🤦🏾♂
Absolutely they love to complain it’s like an automatic program that just runs looking for something to complain about, that’s why news outlets mostly cover negative topics because it brings in engagement even if it’s a bunch of negativity
@@aaronaustrie People just Iove to complain.
@@nickackermanchannelwell said man. I agree.
@@nickackermanchannelfr
@@nickackermanchannelof course they will complain when there's a downgrade issue especially from top of the line phone, Ultra. You will never seen that much negativity to Apple because they don't downgrade their products despite being stagnant. That 1% usage BT S-Pen is a deal breaker from the ones who knows the features of Ultra and phone enthusiasts.
I actually like it better than s24 ultra look...its very light, slim and beautiful. My roommate just pre-ordered this phone
I sold my 512gb s24 ultra and po 1tb s25 ultra just because the new design
@ParkofTomorrow bro my roommate got over $1000 when he traded his S23 ultra… do you have any phone to trade in?
@@Dabal_R No, but I sold separately to get higher prize, way more higher than samsung has offering me to trade in
@@ParkofTomorrow how much Samsung was offering you? And how much you sold it for
@@Dabal_R I got $1060 , samsung best offer $580 with small corner's scratches
Watching this on my S23 ultra. I honestly don't feel the need to upgrade. I have the 512gb version and it's still performing well
I have the same phone but battery life sucks. I gotta charge at least 2 sometimes 3 times a day. Is it the same for you?
@@jonathon120change the battery to a brand new one if ur gonna hold on to it cause one ui 7 have some great optimizations
Dude something wrong with your phone i myself sometimes play games but charge 1 time @jonathon120
@@jonathon120I think you should put power saving dark mode and use light on performance profile only when playing games turn power saving off
@@jonathon120me the same......unfortunately battery after 1 and half year is dead...
Beautiful phone. Mine’s just shipped arriving thursday 🔥
Enjoy! It’s a great phone!
The corners on the phone makes it look nicer
I disagree. It completely lost its character now. The S Ultra models used to look instantly distinguishable from all other flagships. Now they look generic.
@AkerfeldtTveitan-yi4xm I agree, the Note was the og version ans they were made to be boxy not rounded. Idk why they changed it back. Samsung would've benefitted of doing a note series more because love that series. Now this is just the S series again. Not note. I loved the note, jt was amazing
Watching on my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra❤, I love this phone! no reason to upgrade.
who Agrees
👇
I just pre-ordered, looking forward
This phone looks amazing it's way better than that big box heavy soap box, 23 & 24 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
the display looks noice, wonder if i should upgrade from my S22Ultra🤔
I absolutely love the new design. More than The boxy square.
I'm trading my current ultra. That chip seems amazing
Trading-in my S-24U, for a Titanium Jet Black S-25U. I really didn't use the Bluetooth functions of the s-pen, although I do actually use my s-pen. The loss of a Bluetooth s-pen is a small price to pay, for an overall better phone.
So glad I made the switch from Apple a few years ago. Much better deals and a way better phone. Loving my S23 Ultra, I can't wait to get my S25 Ultra, got the shipping information today!!!
Samsung did a great job refining this phone to me especially with the corners
@@aaronaustrie they refined the corners? that's an engineering accomplishment?
@@mike0323right ! 😂🙄😒
@@mike0323 he's just a troll....they have to say something
@@Cubano2031 subjective 🤦♂️
@@Cubano2031 shut up kid
I upgraded from the S24U, but only because work pays me a phone allowance, so why not? If I had to use my own money, I would have kept the S24U for two to three years. People are expecting a generational jump each year, and it's just not going to happen. That's why they offer seven years of upgrades. No one is forcing you to buy it.
keep both s24 had lot of difference things too and s25 are new too
Why not? Worse design and loss of the S-Pen's Bluetooth functionality just to name a few
@AkerfeldtTveitan-yi4xm I don't agree. Looks awesome in person and all the tweeks make it even better. S pen bt i used once and found it clumsy to use. My watch is much easier for camera IF I EVER use it as a remote
Sticking to my samsung note 8 since 2017 for another year 🕶
stop😢
stunning phone
Nick,
Do Proscaler in actual makes any difference?
I like the black camera rings better this year. Its iconic
Already preordered and hoping it arrives soon. Amazon says tuesday 💪👌
I ordered the white personally
Tryna be consistent like you😊
In this video, is motion smoothness turned on or off?
Can't wait to see Titanium Jet Black.
I'm currently using S24Ultra.. should I keep it or go for any SD 8 Elite phone like S25U, OP13 etc, 🤔.
I can't wait to upgrade from my Note9.
The cameras are probably a nod to them having a former car designer working on the phone
@@segunthepikachufan1470 Do you know which car designer?
@davidbrown6137 Hubert Lee
@@segunthepikachufan1470 Interesting. Thanks.
@@davidbrown6137 your welcome
I will upgrade 💯 coming from S24 ultra. Big changes 💯💯💯
You’re right, people complain about everything and it’s annoying.
My wife jumped ship from note20 ultra to OnePlus 13. She says Samsung killed the spen. OnePlus 13 works with the oppo pen surprisingly and she loves it
A huge disservice to give a titanium frame with 7 years of updates such a battery
The fact that it still gets the same battery life with 5000mah as those with 6000mah batteries is pathetic.... you can argue that it should have got say 80watt charging but it's got an hour more battery than an s24U Within the first week. iphone has had small batteries forever but the are optimized well to still get better life with a 20% smaller battery
Personally i my prefer S24U boxy design more over S25U
Samsung is the best tech brand🔥
Only if for their blind fans.
To everyone complaining, I'll be enjoying my S25 Ultra very soon. It's pre ordered and everything! For anyone saying they are keeping their S23 or S24 Ultras. Guys, you sound very stupid. Those phones are only 1 & 2 years old, still fantastic phones, so just shut up.
Love this channel. Okay Nick. The million dollar question. Is the z fold 6 the better phone? I miss the ultra just because of cameras and battery life. But the z fold 6 seems more premium. What are your thoughts?
Z fold 6 falls short on premium due to weaker cameras and durability but it’s far more versatile
Everytime manufacturers remove features, tech reviewers seem to be providing them cover by saying, "Oh, we didn't really need that" or "I didn't really use that." Please stop it. This tendency provides cover to these manufacturers to give us less features, for more money and then factor in inflation. We went from a Note product just a few years ago with expandable storage, headphone jack, active FM radio chip, high speed brick in the box, and a Bluetooth-enabled stylus, to phones today with none of these features unless you want to pay extra for what used to be a standard feature. Started by Apple, copied by Samsung. Sad. Don't be a party to defending such practices. They hurt the consumer.
Thank you for sharing your personal perspective it was interesting to read. Honestly though, I personally did not use the Bluetooth functions of the S Pen as a matter of fact since getting galaxy tab ultra the S line is too small for the type of pen use I want to use anyway so I don’t use it much unless I’m quickly jotting down notes. This is not a cover whatsoever because if you listen to what I said in the video I mentioned that doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter to others.
@@nickackermanchannel Thanks for clarifying your perspective Nick. Since there are consumers that still want some of the older devices features, they can still locate some of those features on the Sony phones which are also geared towards professional photography and audiophile enthusiasts.
@@nickackermanchannelThank you for the reply and your thoughts. Did not want to come across as dissing your review. I'm seeing similiar sentiment across the tech vlogs & would like to see more of them (like Flossy Carter) calling out these tech and mobile giants on what is by any measure, an effort to fleece the consumer. Love your content and delivery. Thank you.
This phone is A+. Execution is excellent. Can't wait for it. Trading in s23 ultra. So glad I skipped the 24 ultra. And that color!!!! Supreme.
Design is A+, premium style
I honestly don’t like the S-Pen and I know I would barely use it if I had gotten the Ultra model. I kinda see why people complain about the removal of the Bluetooth feature of the S-Pen. If you’re paying $1300 of that price. It better have all the premium features that is packed in. So I understand.
Great review Nick 👍🏻
Are you gonna do review about new Sony Xperia in May maybe?
Thank God I upgrade twice a year and I'm moving from 23 ultra to 25 ultra so when the s24ultra ppl saying they won't switch ill enjoy the more storage and better display and everything else it comes with
I will update to this from my S24U Ultra!
You’ll enjoy the small but impactful improvements!
Great Review👍
Good morning Nick . First comment from India ❤❤❤
I think people who watch these videos are more into technology vs “Jo Consumer” going to a carrier store or Best Buy etc. I just don’t think average consumers are so emotionally invested in a smartphone feature set. 😂
These reviewers don't understand these things, they live in a bubble.
Keep telling yourself that lol
True channels like these automatically select for people who are a bit more tech savvy
This is the new king of the hill. Excellent phone Samsung made.
Still using my S21ultra here. Afraid to take the leap? Is it worth it? Or should i wait?
i will keep my s24 ultra
Smart ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Much beauty
The S24 Ultra is a performance beast.❤❤❤❤❤
@@Cyberbravity i agree 100 percent i love it its stable android has come a long way
Of course, you have no reason to upgrade, I mean S24 Ultra is a great phone with 7 years of OS updates, but you're from S10 or S21 or older and had money then this one is worth to upgrade.
@ exactly
Can you confirm anything of the grey grain effect being present in low screen brightness (10% or less brightness ) or not? The S24 Ultra had a wide issue where many of the phones had visible grain in low brightness
I have a theory, samsung took away the Bluetooth capability from spen because s26 is rumored to get name change for all its devices where ultra will become Note again. Just like the old style note series had.
I got the s24 ultra, do u think id be missing out on a lot if i dont upgrade?
Nop..
U will miss nothing..
All is around Ai, and S24 get it.
S24 much beauty
Wait for S26
Quite the opposite you'd be gaining stuff. You'd have the more distinct boxy design and the full functionality of the S-Pen while barely losing on software updates
I have the s24 ultra no point to upgrade my phone is great
If I had an S24 Ultra I probably wouldn't bother, but I'm upgrading from an S21 Ultra and very excited for getting my pen back!
Rocking my S24 for another year!
Can you do a gaming test. I want to know if this phone is good for gaming.
Looks like the Note 20 Comeback with those rounded corners 😂
Amazing unboxing and first impression keep it up as always bro
Thanks for watching!
The reason why they made the camera the same color on all the phone is because that's their branding. They said the 5 cameras are their standout point of the device itself and its here to stay. So they made it that way so it's easily noticeable from a distance. I'm glad they smooth those corners out my s24u kept making my fingers go numb after long gaming sessions. 😅 I ended up getting the silver white one because I always get black phones and have issues finding them, so no torturing myself for another year.
You’re truly making a difference!
why?? 😊
Very nice
How I wish I was part of those ordering this galaxy phone😬🔥.
Oh God of surprises, Surprise me🥰🥰
I ordered the Jade Green
Beautiful color
@@nickackermanchannelbro Samsung said they'll use silicon carbon battery next year my guess they're getting less ppl buying this year
The most chillest review !
I will keep my S23 Ultra. It still works just fine in 2025. 👍
Absolutely love your review. It´s fair and honest.
Glad you enjoyed it!
poco x7 pro when? why only flagships??
Not happening I don’t cover poco
I preordered this phone but if s26 ultra will have a better battery I'll trade it in to upgrade because battery is really my top priority.
I always think of trading fold 6 for s25 ultra but i feel.its hard cause once u go fold u cant go back so i guess ill wait for fold 7 this july
Ordered the pinkgold hope its a nice color
Should I get it over my pixel 8pro?
power of the soc is shining the device for years no worries until s28 or something
Just to be clear I also barely used the bluetooth feature on my s22 Ultra, but that is besides the point... it was a useful tool, a feature that comes in handy now and then.
I'm leaving my Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and going back to the S series. I've held off from an upgrade since the S22 Ultra, and I think now is the time since I've missed the Samsung UI. I love the flat sides on my Pixel, but I find myself missing the S-pen after taking pictures and screenshots. Also, I miss the native apps as well!
I didn't like the pixel 9 pro xl either upgraded to s25 ultra
Pixel has better software than Samsung and has a much better UI too.
@Adamtendo_player_1 🤣 My personal experience and opinion of a phone is wrong huh? Well, you can most certainly can buy this great phone from me. I'll give you a wonderful deal on this Pixel 9 Pro XL!
The best thing for samsung to do is to have two variants of the s series phones one should be boxy and one should have rounded corners to avoid all these unnecessary complaints.
Wow honestly I think if you were to throw the s25 ultra in the freezer for a few minutes and then geekbench again I think it would be in the 10,000s on multi-core
Hi, can you tell me which UFS is in Samsung s 25 12/256 ?4.0 or 3.1 ?
Next update = Green line
Looks gorgeous to me. I think my favorite color is the white silver. Makes the cameras (and phone) stand out more to me. All the other colors are a bit too bland.
I'm really hoping for a day where we'll have a real (dark) black color and a solid, pure white color. Not try to name it black/white but it's actually dark gray and light silver
I don’t understand why is in Europe 1500€ and in America is 1300$ Euro is more value than dollar
Why you remove pubg from speedtests videos nick 😢
so you say that switching from s24u to s25u makes sense?
Most of All these RUclipsrs get the phone for free and a few more perks from Samsung so this year they have to push the phone even if the know this phone doesn't make any sense.
I has the S23 Plus...should I do upgrade?
Maybe that's why Sony stopped selling their phones in NA as they were tired of all the whining.😮
😂😂😂😂
Should I be upgrading from my Samsung a73? My current a73 is working fine btw
If you are a medium user just buy midrange phone
Camera and AI don't matter to me much and I am not keeping the phone more than 4 years. But, I am a sucker for Power and battery.
Given my preferences do you suggest S25U or Oneplus 13?
Both are very competitive in battery and performance, so I’d look to other areas of the phone to make the decision like software you like better and the design and ergonomics
I was planning to upgrade to the S25 Ultra, but since their is little to no major upgrade at all, ill just stay with my S24 Ultra
The cameras make the phone look CHEAP no matter how you want to frame it dude. Stop trying to gaslight your viewers
That's just your opinion
Thanks for your personal opinion, appreciate it
@@nickackermanchannel I said what I said. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings little bro.
@@nixonmalasi8982it doesn't look cheap big bro
I used the Bluetooth SPen feature for every trip or weekend out to take group pictures..
In that case, this is a total letdown!
My advice would be using the "smile" feature which is hands free! Or get a galaxy watch. Sorry that the Bluetooth feature is gone, I am saddened as well.
Ok , I switch
Is the S24 Ultra getting the pro upscaler feature at all ?
No, that is a hardware advantage not foundational in software.
You Think Android Ever Will get iMessage ? Like iPhone?
Nick is making me like this phone.. But S24u is solid on One UI 7.
