The S24 Ultra looks better with rounded back edges and square corners than the basic and iPhone-look-alike S25 Ultra. I’ll stick with my Fold7.

Still using the s24 ultra. Not bad. I picked it up new for about $650. I’m capable of playing all the games I want with it. For awhile I had it paired with an Xbox controller and logged into Xbox Gamepass. Streaming games from the cloud is next level. All you need is a good internet connection.

Have you made the same video about APPLE coz it’s same if not Why Not.

It could have something to do with apple’s phone’s not dropping in price on the second hand market the way androids do?

I got my S25 Ultra (512 gb) directly from Samsung for $735 in early December, so it was hard to pass up. So far I really love the phone, I wish it had Qi2 charging but it’s not a big deal. I was able to sell my S24 Plus for $450 after it arrived, so that helped.

I don’t know why you didn’t just trade your. S twenty four plus into samsung.Don’t they normally give you great trading value?
@g_runner59
January 26, 2026 at 2:48 pm
@katinasoutherland7693Because the low price was for a no trade in option.

Um um it is 2026…I bought a 2025 Galaxy 25S Ultra in February of 2025…a bit late for this advice mate!

What if no one made a negative reaction that samsung is selling a separate bluetooth spen for s25 ultra. Would samsung continue selling the bluetooth spen for s25 ultra?

The S24 Ultra has the cooler looking design and still has an s-pen with bluetooth functionality. Even if they were the same price I’d get the S24 Ultra over the S25 Ultra. As it is, I purchased the S24 Ultra when it came out and saw absolutely no reason to downgr- er… “upgrade”😛

This is a CNET video. Why is 1440p not available??? So disappointed. 15 years ago CNET was my go-to for reviews.

The S24 Ultra is a very good phone I put a protector on the S25 ultra camera glass, extra glass, but when I took it off, its original ring came off.

Is it alright if I spend my money how I want to. Is it alright if I buy a s26 ultra in Feb? Will I have to justify my purchase to you?
@lolmetswhathappeneduhhh2029
January 26, 2026 at 5:36 pm
Of course it’s alright to get whatever you want. Video just explains why those running the S24 Ultra don’t have to be in a rush to upgrade if they don’t want to.
@Jayden-lr2mm

True, even the previous flagships like the S23 and the S24 have prices reduced

The S25 doesn’t have Bluetooth in the pen in the same way my S24 does, so no using the pen to take photos (the main reason I use that feature). Setting up the phone, walking away, and being able to have the screen facing you, then using the pen to zoom in and click to take the photo once you can see all looks good, is one of the truly outstanding features of this Android phone. So, why the S25 doesn’t have it is crazy. I’ll not be getting the S26, or probably the S27 or even the S28, as my 24 is just 1 year old and I love it.
@lolmetswhathappeneduhhh2029

S25 Ultra just didn’t offer enough of an upgrade over the S24 Ultra to justify making the switch. And even more damning for the S25 Ultra is the S pen lacking Bluetooth connectivity.
@mj9907-f5f
January 26, 2026 at 5:25 pm
So basically a 2 year old device with bluetooth s pen or a 1 year old device with better power efficiency.. i’d pick s25u.

Still rocking the S24U along with my Fold 7 and it is still amazing.

The timing of the video is very bad. Anyone who wants to buy a phone should wait for s26 series launch in 2 months and buy the s25 ultra for less than 700. 😢
