They also got rid of the 10 times optical though and are now down with the rest of the pack with the five times. People can disagree as to how much that matters but they're going to run out of standout features to market. I mean they lately I've just been going with titanium materials and AI and now that Apple's ditching titanium that already looks pretty silly
Wait until the prices drop after the s25 release, but yes it makes sense. Even the s23U makes sense. It's a great phone with a superior telephoto lens that can be gotten for around 700 bucks. It just has less software support left now.
Same I have a s24 ultra and ain't upgrading until they change. I use the s-pen for air actions to control my phone. Always loved it. Easy. Everybody using those tiktok strollers things and I have been doing that since forever. So if I get the s25 ultra ill have to buy one of those stupid skroller clickers. Lol f#$% that! I'll keep my s24 ultra.
I purchased the S25 Ultra and just found out that the S-pen lost the Bluetooth functionality for air commands. I'm cancelling my order. I don't understand why we're losing more & more features, yet paying more and more money, year after year. It's also still crazy that the S-pen doesn't have the function to locate a lost S-pen. Ear buds have this capability & they're on the small scale of things too... But if it's nothing more than a stylus then it's worthless to me. While writing is and will remain a cool feature - I think I can live without the built in pen if it's now dumbed down. I really used it for music & camera. This is just sad.
My 8/512 Note 9 has more real worth than S25 Ultra lol. Stupid greedy stake holders ruin the company. No phone jack, no SDcard, no charger, no , earphones, SPen that has no bluethoot, less than 6000 Mah for a min price of 1000 USD nahdah. Those are deal breakers. Sticking with my Note 9 until its last day. After that I ain't spending a dime to Samsung crap.
kind of agree. I upgraded to the S23 Ultra, it is great, but if they drop the spen or its BT functions, there will be nothing to get another Samsung at such prices.
@@TheTechPreacher To be fair, I love OneUI, and iOS is unusable crap, so I might be forced to remain in the Samsung world, but as soon as I find another usable Android flavour...
New flagship devices every year before the consumer even gets acquainted with the already new current flagships of the same brand? Someone was definitely bound to reach a dead end. So big company flagship phones will now be all about AI and nothing else, for OVER $1,000 with 128gb base storage?🤔
Bought my mother a pixel 8 pro with 128gb open box from bestbuy. It pained me the storage is so low but she rarely wanted the best photo stuff. Her and her friends take photos side by side on vacations and her friend has an iPhone 13pm. It's ridiculous to me but she's getting old so I humored her. Couldn't believe the low storage size. Got my wife and I moto edge plus 2023 only comes in one size 512gb
@ro4lol And because of the phone's OS you're not even getting the exact 128gb..add updates to that, you're already 28gb down before you even start taking photos and making videos. It's criminal to say the least
I think Samsung should make moves that will maximize their profits period. It is clear that as long as the Samsung has a flagship slab phone their users won't care what they take away. They will still line up to make their purchases year after year.
I think users should look at alternatives and help Samsung on their journey to irrelevance. Let's help them get to where they are in their dishwasher segment. Bosch all day.
they get rid of the s pen in the phones it will be a kill shot for the company. every other chinese company is better onl thing holdng samasung up is the s pen and the dex. and rumers is that its getting rid of it on windows. the LG v60 was better phone only thing samsung had on it was the spen and dex.
Spen I love too still rocking a note 10plus secondary with white lines because I can video edit so easy. Thinking to pay the bucks to change the screen. Precision video editing on mobile with spen is so good.
History is not the only thing that keeps repeating itself. I hope Samsung found a vendor who can deliver spen technology that works with folding devices while having a slot within the device for the Spen at a reasonable price.
Wow..alot of people on TikTok gonna loose alot of funds.. 😅 Samsung took most of y'all to the cleaners when they got rid of the note series ,and gave a wash down version of the unit ,which my opinion was never great as the note series .and apple always rinse and repeat w just a spec bump or tad bit slightly slim design..once they come out w a flip or foldable .that'll be good.. probably be so high it'll be a down payment on a high class vehicle 😂. And great content tech preacher! Keep em coming,keep em coming my brother 💪🏿
I don't even have a Samsung and I'm disappointed with the s-pen downgrade. They better not increase the price too. Even getting rid of the S-Pen would be better because they can use the room for more batty and cameras.
Guess the S24 Ultra will be my last Samsung phone then. I can get a used tablet to keep up with android. updates. One Plus and Sony it is then for phones
@TheTechPreacher It started with the removal of the headphone jack and micro SD slot. I dont care of peoe didnt use them. I did. Samsung thinks services will save them... No its innovation and not fix what is broken. SMGDH... Big S might as well just sell the Plus. Whoever is running the mobile division of Big S must be getting paid by Apple to tank the product.
I actually started using my Samsung tab S8 a lot more when my note 10 plus got the screen line issue in September and then bought a new phone moto edge plus 2023 brand new on clearance prices direct from Moto
Big downgrade from Samsung with that s pen change. I don't need a built in stylus thank you. Who is this supposed user base that they asked? Their own r&d team who work from home and have no friends anymore to take group selfies!
Well yes if history repeats itself samsung will lose 3 million units sales or maybe close to 5 million this time. When they skipped the note before they merged it into the s-line Samsung lost 3 million unit sales. They again do not understand Americans like apple. They just always look at data based on usage lines instead of user consensus. You need both dealing with Americans whoch is a huge huge market for Samsung. Apple gets tons of user consensus on users. When you go to an apple store, they do reports on user consensus. You may think users may not use a feature but they may love it none the less and users dont like things taken away that matters. These are note users. Data may show that some or more or less may or maybe not use it but its like a spare tire. Knowing its there is like a highly safety feature you want and need in a car in case your car breaks down. Taking a group picture or video from afar. Of course your watch can do this but how practical is it to try to push the button on your watch or holding your s-pen in your hand and hiding it easily to take a picture or presentations or controlling your phone on a flight. Its in these .5 % that matters the most and iut weighs for the times we dont use it. Think on that. If Samsung takes it out theyre going to lose 3 million people to apple. And the consensus on "note" users is the s-pen is the only think keeping them from turning to Apple.
They also got rid of the 10 times optical though and are now down with the rest of the pack with the five times.

We are seeing Samsung downgrade in real time
Learning about this news made it make more sense to just get an S24 Ultra and stay on it until Samsung gets their act together
I know right it's just sad
Word!!

Samsung should have just kept the Ultra and the Note devices separate lol.

It really needs a 6000 mah battery
For sure it really does
Samsung is very touchy when it comes to batteries and charging 😆
Great content. If Samsung removes the s pen, what is there to keep Samsung from being any different than apple🤔 or any other android phone.
For sure thanks for watching I really appreciate it
It's been long garbage after Note 9. The once swiss army knife smart phone reduced to useless overpriced brick.
New flagship devices every year before the consumer even gets acquainted with the already new current flagships of the same brand? Someone was definitely bound to reach a dead end.
So big company flagship phones will now be all about AI and nothing else, for OVER $1,000 with 128gb base storage?🤔
It's crazy to see this in real time
@TheTechPreacher Next, the physical SIM tray will be removed completely, only to be found in midrange devices.
Bought my mother a pixel 8 pro with 128gb open box from bestbuy. It pained me the storage is so low but she rarely wanted the best photo stuff.

@@joisaacs3351 agreed. Just did it for Mom. All kids are on my old Samsung flagships and wife and I went moto first time in years
If they take away the bluetooth S Pen then I'm not gonna get it. I'll probably go with One Plus 13 or pixel 9 pro.
Ayyyy great choice
I think Samsung should make moves that will maximize their profits period. It is clear that as long as the Samsung has a flagship slab phone their users won't care what they take away. They will still line up to make their purchases year after year.
Yep all day long

I have the S23 ultra and the pixel 8A i am not going to be in the market for a phone for a few years
The whole purpose for getting a note/ultra device is the S pen. That's been its main selling point since the note one!
Yep
they get rid of the s pen in the phones it will be a kill shot for the company. every other chinese company is better onl thing holdng samasung up is the s pen and the dex. and rumers is that its getting rid of it on windows. the LG v60 was better phone only thing samsung had on it was the spen and dex.

I believe the price is going up
@ Oh man, it'll be interesting to see what happens with sales.
@HoldTheDark-o8e right
Disappointing for the tech community for sure. Pathetic. Avg Joes don’t care though who coming from an old android.
