    Ss, 11 May 2025They shouls at least make it clear 800 usd net price + 200 usd trump tariffhttps://m.gsmarena.com/here_is_the_samsung_galaxy_s25_series_pricing_breakdown-news-66211.php

    S25 ultra 256GB could be preordered for $1300 since Jan 22nd. It's on sale for $1068 on Amazon right now, so, so much for tariffs, the price went down.
    Current and old pricing is 100% still Samsung's own pricing, not tariffs.

    Once the price increases by 35+% then your Trump derangement syndrome would be correct.

          Anonymous, 10 May 2025Was that English?Yes it was, and it wasn't even hard to understand. It's about low battery precantage reminders, to have more choices over it.

                  Zuzuz, 09 May 2025Still waiting for 7 on many other devices I don't trust Samsung anymore. They can do so much in hardware and software front. But they are just getting lazy and complacent. I wish for their downfall soon.

                            Very good! This is how the largest manufacturer of Android devices should act. The good should also be noted!
                            Let's hope that it will start acting adequately regarding hardware changes.

                                  This is simply part of their usual strategy. Samsung is likely to roll out Android 16 with One UI 8 around April or May 2026, aiming to boost sales of the Galaxy S26 series. The current announcements are just a way to set expectations, so when the update finally arrives, it appears seamless and free from major issues. But mark my words—they’ll start implementing it by early April or May 2026 on the Galaxy S25 series and select older models. Compared to iOS, Google Pixel, OnePlus, and Xiaomi, Samsung is lagging behind in timely software updates. Their software support is currently at one of its weakest points.

                                      MihaiRo, 09 May 2025I guess will look as a 7.1 and not a true 8 !Just marketing!😒
                                      One UI 8 is based on Android 16. Meaning it also brings features from Android 16 aside from Samsung own features/refinements

                                      If its is One UI 7.1 then It is still based on android 15 with no Android 16 features.
