@@Vamshi_0069 Yeah, it makes no sense to upgrade year on year. I'd skip at least two generations between each update myself, as a rule of thumb.

For many, the removal of blue tooth on the stylus pen is the deal breaker that kept many holding onto their s24 and sitting this one out. I would agree with that. Samsung dropped the ball. There is no significant enough upgrade on the s25 ultra for someone to give up the BT on the s-pen.
S22U - Problems with battery but overall good phone S23U - Battery fixed, Not much improvement S24U - Flat S23U, camera Downgrade S25U - No more sharp edges, Same Cameras, S-Pen downgrade, no big upgrades Is it just me or Samsung Stagnated over the years? I see chinease makers make great upgrades left and right but leaving the AI behind while samsung focused heavily on AI not really upgrading thier hardware and even downgrading it over the years, does not look good.

You can't help but feel the S25 Ultra is a massive let down. The phone looks like a premium A Series phone, there is no innovation, plus the deduction of Bluetooth from the S-pen is a huge own goal from Samsung. The S24 Ultra just looks so much more premium than the S24 Ultra.
@@Random-KP Bro the S24Ultra Looks lika a mini Tablet.. for me S25Ultra its one of the best Looking phone 2025 & no one Need a S-Pen in a Phone.. CPU & Camera are also much better its a good Upgrade
@Random-KP You're only saying this because of the S Pen controversy. The phone actually looks good and is in line with previous Ultra phones. Also, you should know how Samsung and Apple are operating by now. It's about incremental improvements and refinement over "innovation."
@@juicemanvon9859 if I'm being honest, this phone looks less premium. It actually looks like an A series phone. Each to their own, I have an S23 Ultra and I'll hang onto it for another year, especially as this year's model is unappealing.
I disagree with you on the noticeable difference between both phones. You failed to mention the downgraded S-pen which was stripped of the Bluetooth functionality. That is a big deal breaker for a lot of people. Personally I was hoping to upgrade from my S23U to this but instead, I'll swap it for the S24U or retain it and get the Vivo 200 for taking pictures and video. Samsung really disappointed me on this. All the focus was on AI instead of upgrading already existing features. The slight camera improvement is insufficient to convince me to cough up more money. Nice review as always 👍
Thanks for sharing. Just not hyped about the AI stuff, because essentially it will become paid features, and the same software updates will come to the S24 and S23 ultras too.
@ Don't forget the S25U has 7 years updates as I heard. Good for people who want to hold on their phone for long time. Now I have S23U and per-ordered S25U for: new processor, new design no more sharp edges, flat screen. S-pen I use rarely. I was a long time Apple user but left it because it has alot of limitations for my use. Android phones feels different (one plus, vivo, oppo, xiaomi, nothing ..etc)
@@doorsbhyou're right about the 7 years update on the S25U but so is S24U as well that's why I'm thinking of swapping to it. Though with the way technology is evolving, I doubt anyone will hold onto their current phones for that long. I'd rather get an upgrade on presently available features I use at the moment and that includes the S-pen. Granted the new chip is amazing but then, my S23U is yet to come up against any app or games it struggles with.
@curiousone9364 the bluetooth s pen will be a deal breaker for a few , personally I never use it ... the s25u will sell like hot cakes , while you moan about not being able to take a bloody pic with a pen , I have the ring,. I double tap my fingers and it takes pics ...
Are you aware that a Bluetooth camera shutter fob for the S25 Ultra is £5.50/$8.00 on Amazon right now. Not much for such a dramatic ' big dealbreaker' is it?....😂😂
I just think the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is the better, more premium looking phone. The fact that Samsung hasn't dropped its price, making both phones currently sit at the same exact retail price says a lot too. It just goes to show how great the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra truly was and still is and that both phones are essentially the same exact phone just in different bodies. Even in 2025, with both smartphones costing the same price, if I were to buy either one of them, it would be the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra all day without a doubt.
S24 ultra's rectangular shaped screen in so wonderful n immersive to watch content n Playing games... S24ultra videography is more superior in comparison with s25 ultra's.... I will keep my S24 ultra till S27/S28 Ultra gets launched in future...will be a fascinating upgrade then❤
Simple answer for the video title: If you are coming from S24 Ultra, it is not worth it. If you are coming from S22 Ultra or lower, or... From any midrange android phone, YES! The S25 Ultra is worth to buy. From iPhone? Go figure...
S25 have significant performance boost and slightly better cameras that can be attributed to software. Other than that the phone is significantly worse on the screen shape and housing design. I would take S24 Ultra over S25 Ultra
I currently own the S24 Ultra and have now pre-ordered the S25 Ultra. Since I’m sending back my old smartphone and was able to apply a few discounts, I’m only paying about €350 for the new one. I really like the rounded corners. The angular Note design was never really my thing. When I heard that the S Pen is losing its Bluetooth functionality, I was a bit hesitant at first. But then I thought about it for a moment and realized that I never used those features anyway. I value the weight reduction more. The processor is amazing, and I’m hoping for longer battery life again, and I’m also excited about the performance. All in all, there’s no real need to upgrade-who really needs to upgrade? But I like having the newest tech, and I’m looking forward to it.
Absolutely fantastic video showing some real technical details. Thank you. If you have time, I would love to see some content on the ProScaler feature tested against your S24 Ultra, with photos and videos showing if it affects streaming content. Also, how is the color banding on the new phone?
I used to love the S24 body style, but they got it right with the S25 Ultras design. It’s more premium looking overall in my opinion. Both are great phones, but I’m going with the 25 Ultra 😅
@richardjackson5670 s24 is definitely an eye catcher. I let go the round edge from s20note to s24ultra, but im.not giving up the square corners, that's literally what makes a note/ultra different than other phones. Now, it just looks like an iphone.

Worth the upgrade for users who have the money to upgrade every new model if the S-Pen accessory will be sell separately soon.

This is the only reviewer that said the rounded sides is more comfortable, I am now convinced that those other reviewers are paid to say that flat sides is more comfortable. It's not it hurts my hands
The fact that S25 has significant better camera, BEAST latest chipset (snapdragon elite), 1 hr extension battery life, BETTER software, better display, better speaker, all of this versus S24. It's already an UPgrade. Just because Spen air command function was removed, you can't say this is a downgrade. Those who are saying its a downgrade.. admit it, you cant afford buying one. I have S23 ultra, saw this S24 and S25 in the store. Checked both, but I forgot that there is S24 because of how good S25 is.
I've been upgrading every year since the s20, but I'll also be sitting this one out. I thought I'd like the new design, but I'm not a fan. The upgrades don't make up for the less desirable design.
I waited so long for S25 ultra for a better camera. but i don't see huge difference. I would just go with S24 ultra. with huge price drop after S25's launch.
Ok, so why does everyone keep saying the S25 U camera is better than the S24 U camera? In your video, the comparisons appear to clearly show that the S24 U is better. In every single comparison, the S24 U has a crisper, more detailed image. Is is possible that you mislabeled the images (so that the images labeled S24 U are actually the S25 U and vice versa)? I am only asking because even you say the S25 U's camera is better, and I am NOT seeing that to be the case. According to your comparison images, the S24 U is the more premium camera. Could you please check this out and let me know? I would really appreciate it. BTW, overall, your video was great. Thanks.
I’m coming from iPhone 15 pro max ..is the pen worth sticking with me just buying the s24 ultra also a camera is a huge plus for me but can’t tell the difference really please let me know
Perfect time for S21 Ultra and S22 Ultra Users to grab the S24 Ultra on a deal :) BUT never sell your S21 Ultra as it is and will always be a true classic.
As usually it comes down to what you value. I have the s24u, and i am the kind of person who likes to upgrade every 1-2 years. I like to upgrade because it ensures my phone is always at its peak performance, i dont have to worry about the battery life or hardware "degrading." I ensure the highest trade in value, ive never spent more than 400 for a brand new flagship phone because of trade ins. I like accessories alot and often times the newest phone gets more, granted samsung gets basically nothing when compared to apple but still. I also really hate how my s24 ultra looks/feels in the hand. Its bulky, i hate the corners, and i hate the rounded edges. The s25 ultra looks better to me, and feels much better in the hand. However they once again took away a feature (the bluetooth spen) and im sick and tired of them removing things and then either keeping the price, or raising it. We lost the micro sd slot, removable battery, audio jack, etc. For the past id say 3-4 years the technology in this industry has stagnated, and its not the fault of anyone. Its simply how materials/physics work. You cant make major adjustments anymore. You cant just magically make the phone run 2-3x better or make the battery twice as long lasting. Most of it now comes down to small adjustments to refine things, software changes to make things more efficient. These days phone upgrades are intended to be done every few years, if not longer.
I like everything about the s24U better than i do the s25U...the design and shape are much more note like...and all specs aside theyre identical phones as youll never notice the slight bump in performance day to day
I only upgraded because I'm getting 920 off plus 130 in samsung credits with a discount on the galaxy watch 7 which i only paid $46... worth it to me since I'll upgrade every year anyways
Samsung said they were going to make more meaningful upgrades with their flagship products, they lied, sure the cpu is great, but that's about it. I will keep my 24u for another few years, till there is a meaningful upgrade. They really didn't listen to their customers, bring back removable storage for a start.
Everyone is different, they have different needs, and as we all know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. With all that said, for me, the S24 Ultra still looks more premium. I am not a fan of making the camera bumps even more pronounced and cheap looking. They will look more dated sooner (maybe that was the idea). I do like the fact that it's lighter. It may be thinner, but mostly because they took away the rounded sides, which I prefer because it feels better in hand. If you asked someone who isn't a tech nerd which is the better looking phone, they will pick the S24 Ultra every time. After a year, the S24 Ultra still looks modern. I don't think the S25 Ultra will hold up as well.
I usually always upgrade but not this time. I love the square shape of the s24 ultra and the bluetooth in my s pen and because those 2 things are gone in the 25 i wont upgrade.
Thanks for doing this vid it's made my mind up s24 ultra camera looks better to me I'm gonna save 500 and buy s24 ultra instead currently have an s22 ultra.
Why does s 25 ultra seems like a covering applied on camera especially while taking videos, s 24 ultra captures so much more light, and has better details in video
The thing is all the s ultras have the boxy design because it took over the note series so changing the design takes away the take over from the note series that's my own opinion
Im a contractor and use a lot ultra wide angle camera they have luck they upgraded that one... Every year same story, new S and super happy. But when new fold come out, buy that 1 be happy for few months then be dissapointed in the fold, then the new S comes out and buy that 1. Hope my addiction stops 1 day 😂
When Flossy Carter, the Internet's biggest 'Samsung Knight' says this is the first year he probably won't be upgrading, you know you done F'd up... Maybe Samsung should have renamed the S25U the NS-Ultra (Not-So)? These problems with Samsung removing things all the time are reducing the value and bringing the Note/Ultra line down to mediocre status... The headphones, The headphone jack, the Micro SD slot, the IR blaster, the charger, and now the square edges and a Bluetooth S-Pen, all gone... Maybe, for many, this is 'the straw that breaks the Camel's back'...? Without its features and differences it's becoming just another slab phone. Yeah, it's still got an S-Pen but that may be gone in the next version because according to their data, only a few really use the pen... Oh well it was nice while it lasted... My S22U still works great and is as fast as the first day I got it. If it goes south, for the first time in 13 years (S3 and 5 Note/Ultra versions later) I will be entertaining a new brand... Samsung did this willingly to itself...
thank you samsung for not launching as beautiful as s24 ultra im about to buy samsung s24 ultra nxt month so was little worried about s25 but my doubts got cleared :)
Im a current S24U owner, 512 GB variant. I want to like the S25U, but the design just isnt there. It reminds me too much like a "S" series device. It looks like an upgraded version of the S25 plus. I upgraded from my note 20 ultra to the S24U and it was worth it. Im gonna wait and see what Samsung does for the S26U. Regardless, im a happy Samsung customer. If they go south, ill probably go to Motorola, since Motorola phones are pretty good too. Apple is pure garbage.

In every single comparison, the S24 U has a crisper, more detailed image. Is is possible that you mislabeled the images (so that the images labeled S24 U are actually the S25 U and vice versa)? I am only asking because even you say the S25 U's camera is better, and I am NOT seeing that to be the case. According to your comparison images, the S24 U is the more premium camera. Could you please check this out and let me know? I would really appreciate it. BTW, overall, your video was great. Thanks.
Good question ... I also had the impresson that S24 pics looked better than those of the S25
And the 24u is getting an update to improve it at some point in the future. Sounds like a better deal on my budget.
Case I use is OtterBox defender. No issues.
I’m coming from iPhone 15 pro max ..is the pen worth sticking with me just buying the s24 ultra also a camera is a huge plus for me but can’t tell the difference really please let me know
I was one of those that confused the sim tray hole with the microphone 😅
Perfect time for S21 Ultra and S22 Ultra Users to grab the S24 Ultra on a deal :) BUT never sell your S21 Ultra as it is and will always be a true classic.
I have a S24 ultra and a D9 ultra tablet and a pixel 9. Should I keep what I have now?
S9 ultra.
Not. D9
As usually it comes down to what you value. I have the s24u, and i am the kind of person who likes to upgrade every 1-2 years. I like to upgrade because it ensures my phone is always at its peak performance, i dont have to worry about the battery life or hardware "degrading." I ensure the highest trade in value, ive never spent more than 400 for a brand new flagship phone because of trade ins. I like accessories alot and often times the newest phone gets more, granted samsung gets basically nothing when compared to apple but still. I also really hate how my s24 ultra looks/feels in the hand. Its bulky, i hate the corners, and i hate the rounded edges. The s25 ultra looks better to me, and feels much better in the hand. However they once again took away a feature (the bluetooth spen) and im sick and tired of them removing things and then either keeping the price, or raising it. We lost the micro sd slot, removable battery, audio jack, etc.
For the past id say 3-4 years the technology in this industry has stagnated, and its not the fault of anyone. Its simply how materials/physics work. You cant make major adjustments anymore. You cant just magically make the phone run 2-3x better or make the battery twice as long lasting. Most of it now comes down to small adjustments to refine things, software changes to make things more efficient. These days phone upgrades are intended to be done every few years, if not longer.
I like everything about the s24U better than i do the s25U...the design and shape are much more note like...and all specs aside theyre identical phones as youll never notice the slight bump in performance day to day
I swear i am one of those people who puts mistakenly my sim ejector tool on the microphone. Lols. Fortunately, mic is not damaged
I only upgraded because I'm getting 920 off plus 130 in samsung credits with a discount on the galaxy watch 7 which i only paid $46... worth it to me since I'll upgrade every year anyways
Samsung need to improve the software for their cameras in S25U in photo is pretty similar to the S24U but in video everything is much blurry than S24U
Can someone tell me what the Bluetooth feature on the s24 s pen was. Besides taking pictures what else could you use the Bluetooth for
Nice review!I see a significant upgrade in camera's!Mainly in video and in low light.....do you agree?
S24 Ultra looks nicer but Im still getting the S25 Ultra
Samsung said they were going to make more meaningful upgrades with their flagship products, they lied, sure the cpu is great, but that's about it. I will keep my 24u for another few years, till there is a meaningful upgrade. They really didn't listen to their customers, bring back removable storage for a start.
Would it be a worthwhile upgrade from s23u
Im keeping it s24
Everyone is different, they have different needs, and as we all know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. With all that said, for me, the S24 Ultra still looks more premium. I am not a fan of making the camera bumps even more pronounced and cheap looking. They will look more dated sooner (maybe that was the idea). I do like the fact that it's lighter. It may be thinner, but mostly because they took away the rounded sides, which I prefer because it feels better in hand. If you asked someone who isn't a tech nerd which is the better looking phone, they will pick the S24 Ultra every time. After a year, the S24 Ultra still looks modern. I don't think the S25 Ultra will hold up as well.
I ordered mine.. with every phone theres gonna be new features and ones that didnt make the cut.. i am keeping my s24 ultra and use my s25 ultra
I usually always upgrade but not this time. I love the square shape of the s24 ultra and the bluetooth in my s pen and because those 2 things are gone in the 25 i wont upgrade.
Thanks for doing this vid it's made my mind up s24 ultra camera looks better to me I'm gonna save 500 and buy s24 ultra instead currently have an s22 ultra.
Not prone to fingerprints is an absolute lie! S25 ultra is a magnet for fingerprints.
Why does s 25 ultra seems like a covering applied on camera especially while taking videos, s 24 ultra captures so much more light, and has better details in video
I can answer the question before I even watched the video no you should not continue using the s24 ultra if you got the s25 ultra
The thing is all the s ultras have the boxy design because it took over the note series so changing the design takes away the take over from the note series that's my own opinion
Im a contractor and use a lot ultra wide angle camera they have luck they upgraded that one...
Every year same story, new S and super happy. But when new fold come out, buy that 1 be happy for few months then be dissapointed in the fold, then the new S comes out and buy that 1. Hope my addiction stops 1 day 😂
Quick answer: No.
When Flossy Carter, the Internet's biggest 'Samsung Knight' says this is the first year he probably won't be upgrading, you know you done F'd up...
Maybe Samsung should have renamed the S25U the NS-Ultra (Not-So)? These problems with Samsung removing things all the time are reducing the value and bringing the Note/Ultra line down to mediocre status... The headphones, The headphone jack, the Micro SD slot, the IR blaster, the charger, and now the square edges and a Bluetooth S-Pen, all gone... Maybe, for many, this is 'the straw that breaks the Camel's back'...? Without its features and differences it's becoming just another slab phone. Yeah, it's still got an S-Pen but that may be gone in the next version because according to their data, only a few really use the pen...
Oh well it was nice while it lasted... My S22U still works great and is as fast as the first day I got it. If it goes south, for the first time in 13 years (S3 and 5 Note/Ultra versions later) I will be entertaining a new brand...
Samsung did this willingly to itself...
What is wrong with the s pen? I have an s24 ultra and about to trade in
17:40 me gonna have nightmares tonight 😅😅😂
Which sounds better?
Nice
👍
I think 24U sound quality is poor compared to s23u but what do you think s24u with 25u ?
On UK Amazon you can buy for £25 a Bluetooth s-pen
S24 camera is better optimised
thank you samsung for not launching as beautiful as s24 ultra im about to buy samsung s24 ultra nxt month so was little worried about s25 but my doubts got cleared :)
Please i need to know if they solved the grainy display issue now on the updated display
This is the same display as the S24 Ultra.
@ But they said its gonna be a revised m13+ display instead of the m13 on the s24 ultra
@ there is no way to verify that. I guess we have to take their word for it. In terms of grain, I have not noticed any.
I still have my S22 Ultra but I dont feels like getting the 25. Maybe skip for another year
Im a current S24U owner, 512 GB variant. I want to like the S25U, but the design just isnt there. It reminds me too much like a "S" series device. It looks like an upgraded version of the S25 plus. I upgraded from my note 20 ultra to the S24U and it was worth it. Im gonna wait and see what Samsung does for the S26U. Regardless, im a happy Samsung customer. If they go south, ill probably go to Motorola, since Motorola phones are pretty good too. Apple is pure garbage.
Did you notice any grainy issues with the display
So the s24 ultra looks like it has better colours when ur recording video's?
6:43 error s25u has 25W wireless and qi2 standard
You can wireles charge the 25 ultra,only whit a special magsafe case
All i love from samsung phones are now long gone.
Broad design
Sharp edges
Curve screen.
Time to change to other brand i think.
please compare it to oneplus 13 camera
as still S21U user i dont know do i get 25U or 24U
Can't wait for my s25 ultra.
How are you doing and thank you for all this information I shared with your channels more than two years ago,, I want to buy old Atari games that are on flash to play on computer or TV Do you know or give me some names and thank you so much
S21 Ultra was the actually beast compared to all the other S models.
Where I live, I can get the S25 Ultra for £1160(512GB) and the S24 Ultra for £723(512GB) Which one should I get?
S25 putting audio eraser on their sale pages is cringe af
So s25 ultra look alike others phone.but s24 ultra has own design..it's rare..it's a own identity of samsung..can simply recognize device in 1st look..so im stay another year with my s24 beby
Nice music....ordered my s25U ....nd watching this video on my fold 5
Good choice! Enjoy
Will you be trading in your Z fold 5 or switching between the both here and there?
@bigdrews4360 no I'm keeping it
I sold my 15 pro max to but the s25U
I actually decided to trade my fold 5 for this. I'm hoping the Fold 7 will be better.
