It will be the same bulshit makes no sense buying your phone every year these phones is rocking 7 years update so what the new phone have in software the old phone will be getting
@srobeck77 I use it as picture remote every now and then. But the amount of times is irrelevant because at the end of the day it's a feature removed again.
Oh! I did find one more minuscule upgrade between the S24 Ultra and the S25 Ultra. The S24 Ultra uses Bluetooth 5.3 vs 5.4 for the S25 Ultra. Again, most people wouldn't know the difference. Mainly since most products use Bluetooth 5.0 or even older.
Sorry i'm keeping my S24 ultra samsung have literally lost the plot NO S-Pen Bluetooth functionality NO 16gb RAM NO bigger battery and totally rubbish uk trade in Prices NO 65W super fast charging not really bothered about AI i'll wait until the S26 ultra
I heard it was being back the curved cornered made it cost ineffective. They ran polls that found less then 5% of people use the feature. I've never used the Bluetooth portion myself ever...🤷
Looking to upgrade my S21 +5G, definitely gonna get the S25 ultra. Honestly, just the camera upgrade and the fact that you can do everything (most ) with the phone processing and not the internet is a huge deal. Very informative video, appreciate the video!
I upgraded today and got lots of free accessories for the price I did good $300 with my trade in and Samsung Discounts you can't beat it. And UI 7.0 out the box love it.
Oh dear. I've grown used to the bluetooth functionality (air actions) of the S-pen. Will miss that. Meanwhile, the upgraded ultrawide doesn't mean much to me. The distortion is problematic for my shooting style. The 23mm of the main lens is plenty wide for me. In fact, in the last year odd, I haven't done more than 2 or 3 meaningful shots with the Ultrawide. So I really don't need it. I was considering trading in my S24U for the S25U. Will be keeping it while looking fwd to the S26U next year. Hopefully, on that, they will upgrade the x3 camera and return the bluetooth functionality.
my question.. is the camera still doing the auto edit garbage ( i have the s23 ultra).. i get so tired of taking a photo and it automatically gets changed into garbage thanks for the info and oh yeah.. dumb as it gets removing the bluetooth from the s pen
@@nealpp sorry, I should say that this is a theory. A theory that Im going to take to reddit soon and ask the community. However i have seen more than one person say the same thing. You can use Google photos in the meantime.
Of course, if they didn't do much about the software (and they didn't talk about it). Solutions are Pro mode, gcam, third party apps... but why pay for premium and jump through hoops
Im hoping to upgrade from my note 10 plus which i still adore but not sure s24 to s25 but i am an s pen user not necessarily all of the blue tooth features. The camera upgrades do look promising. Samsung always makes the best screens for phones and tablets.cant wait to see the additional videos on the new phones.
Samsung Keeps removing features just like Apple, please copy the good not the bad anti consumer stuff Samsung, we want our Bluetooth spen back, as well as an sd card slot, a headphone jack, an ir blaster, bigger batteries, faster charging and brighter displays. If i am going to pay these ridiculous prices give me everything.
Have a s23u.. Would love to see comparisons for all phones when s23u and s24u gets one ui 7.. Camera to everything. I will probably wait to s26 honestly, but knowing the difference for a two generation upgrade would be great! As for now the biggest upgrade seems to be SOC (ofc) and maybe log video!
Still rocking my s23 ultra. And pretty much everything was a software update so I'll wait until one UI 7 or if I can find a s24 ultra for a good Prices
Here me out, I realize your mad about having an older phone, but its still fine. Theres no need to lie about having a slower cpu, less ram, no upgraded vapor chamber cooling, no wireless mag charging, wifi 7, and worse cameras (all hardware btw). Your better than this
Thanks for the update…BUT…I do not see an upgrade from my S24 Ultra. There is no Bluetooth S pen that I use so a camera remote…then there is no reverse wireless charging that i use to charge my Galaxy 6 Classic watch when I am out and about. Keep the 25 and I’ll keep the 24 as it has things that I use and the 25 has things that i would rarely, if ever, use.
There's definitely reverse wireless charging. But yes the Bluetooth has been removed. I would say you can use your watch 6 classic as a camera remote, and get a preview of what your taking a photo of as well
Yes we get it, you fools with the current gen phone always post that your phone is good enough and the minor upgrades arent worth it. Can we just STFU with declaring you still love your current phone every time a new model releases?
yeah sure buy a watch to perform the function that was present in the spen before. please do not condone manufacturers removing features even if you say it was not all that useful or only had niche uses. just like the audio jack was a "niche" use case according to some reviewers because many people use wireless audio, according to them. i feel like early access reviewers are shrugging this off to gaslight people that it is not a big deal.
Stylus with no bluetooth!!!!😮😢 I would never let down that, I use the stylus for everything except writing on the phone and now they are removing everything except the capacity to write with the stylus 😂
I upgraded because the phone wasn't that expensive I paid $549 for the phone so where's the cheap price cuz I bought it can't wait to get it but you're right about the SPEN still you can still use it which is good I thought that you couldn't use it at all and that's terrible anyway great video keep them coming maybe it's time goes on the s25 ultra 😎 will get a little better
Okay... The S-Pen Bluetooth functionality is gone with the Galaxy S25 Ultra... But could hardcore users of this feature purchase an S-Pen that is Bluetooth enabled as an accessory?
Pictures far better? you got be kidding? everything looks identical, and sometimes, the s24 looks better. Are you paid by samsung to say these things?😮💨
For me it is because just switched to an iphone from Samsung iphone is boring because I like something thats has all the features what other phones have.
Apart from the chip it’s not worth the upgrade and I doubt many people will notice that trade on only £500 for the s24 ultra in uk so I’ll give this a miss
The rounded corners make it look like a 500$ midrange chinese phone and ditching the Bluetooth of the Spen makes it just simply crap. The S24 Ultra is so much better. If you want 8 elite chipset, there are bunch of othet phones.
Crippled S pen, well ok. Boring design, who cares. Features copied from Iphone and Pixel, well done. But if they didn't change their camera software, basic things like shutter lag / motion blur, this phone is going to be disaster. And I'm not optimistic about cameras being better, otherwise they would use 80% of their presentation just to brag about it.
every time a new model is released you same fools just have to declare your love for your current phone like some kind of a need to renew marriage vows.....
I will stick with my S23 Ultra for another year. If the S26 Ultra is a disappointment, then perhaps I will change brands or even switch to iOS with the iPhone 18.
I think I'll stick to my S24 Ultra for at least another year and see what the next S series brings.
It will be the same bulshit makes no sense buying your phone every year these phones is rocking 7 years update so what the new phone have in software the old phone will be getting
As long as the design of the phone is concerned , I think people would hang on their S24 ultra for at least one more year.
Removing the Bluetooth S-Pen is a slap in the face. Apples to Apples the S25U is not an upgrade over the S24U.
The bluetooth pen was nothing more than a Harry Potter fanboy fantasy to wave a useless magic wand in the air.
@@srobeck77
it actually was useful in some cases, so I'd say he's right
@srobeck77 I use it as picture remote every now and then. But the amount of times is irrelevant because at the end of the day it's a feature removed again.
Can you replace the s25 pen with the s24 pen and the Bluetooth will work?
@@ryanharsch7595 no harry potter, but u can use your samsung watch or ring to perform those magic tricks

Downgrading the SPen is total failure!!!! Who made that decision! Total disappointment
100% needed. All you Harry Potter wannbe fools waving around some non-sense wand.
Almost perfect! Why did they have to mess with the S-Pen?! Iphone users are always impressed whenever i whip it out to take group photos.
I don't use my pen anyway so no big deal..Im into AI and the Camera
@@lipsle u should be buying the S25+ not the Ultra if u dont use the pen
I heard it was being back the curved cornered made it cost ineffective. They ran polls that found less then 5% of people use the feature. I've never used the Bluetooth portion myself ever...🤷

It is gone
Its gone they say. If true too bad.

Why would they return the Bluetooth to the pen when they removed because cost and space thats not going to change next year as it will just get worse.
What’s the button on the side of the S pen good for now?
They downgraded in design and spen. What was samy thinking. Its just a chip upgrade which I don't think matter as s24 ultra can do
Does s pen work with magnet case without interference?
It does with my case
@nickevans3190 what case are you using?
The S-Pen is not Bluetooth anymore....😂

Its your time to retire the note 10 for a s25 plus. You won't regret it. I went from a note 10 to a s24 ultra
Is it the same wide in screen or it's just like every smartphones out there ?
I think I’m gonna hang on to my galaxy S24 ultra for a little while.

Can you do a video using camera for thrid party apps ?
Could you test shutter lag and taking pics of moving subject?

You can use it as a s pen but the Bluetooth features won't work. And it doesn't fit properly in the s hole

False
@@pres002 it fucking says it in the last 4mins of video

You look like Penguin and Steve Jobs had a kid
2:35 ? Those bezels look thicker than the old note 10
your eyes suck is why. u better go get a new prescription
I need those wallpapers
Awesome Review! #GalaxyAI
I am still gonna have my s22 ultra
I knew the first channel to check for the video is yours
S25 ultra seems bright compared to S24 ultra.
The stylus pen was a pen
If I trade my s24 ultra, I can get the s25 ultra and the s10 ultra tablet for under 1200 . After discount and savings
Design made in 5 minutes...
these phone company is scamming we every year it's not making no sense to be buying a phone every year it's the same bulshit

Even Samsung knows this is not an upgrade in performance. On site the difference in video playback is 1hr. From 30 to 31 hours of video playback.

It's strange, but samsung customer support told me today that there still is bluetooth functionality...
