Samsung Galaxy S25 - user opinions and reviews

- msq
Hey all, looking for suggestions here. I am thinking about retiring my S10e after it serving me a graceful 5 years. I love compact phones and would still keep this one if only the (lack of) updates weren't killing it. I am considering the S24 and S25. S24 has a great price at my provider (half of the S25) right now, but I am already losing one year of software support, and would get the weaker Exynos chipset, and the S25 is promising more battery life. Question is, is the double price worth it for the extra year of updates, Snapdragon chipset and slightly bigger battery capacity?

But S25 Edge seems interesting if it has Si/c battery (highly unlikely)

Having a s21 and reading the reviews about this phone I have been disappointed with Samsung for not.fixing up their cameras etc. Was looking to upgrade this year but to much negative responses about this phone. I'll wait for the s26 and see if samsung have done their homework.

Wait... So all the hardware in the S25 is effectively the same as the S24, but the S25 costs double? What am I missing here?

they should offer more of these similar sized phones at other budgets as well instead of pushing us to buy premium.

But the question s how long it will take. The S25 is a good phone, not excellent, nor it can rely on innovative features that competitors lack.

I am puzzled by Samsung...it's like they don't even try anymore...like they gave up already and surrendered to the chineses. Maybe they know something we don't...

Guys'n'gals, I'm on Nokia 8 and have been using it for more than 6 years. I need an upgrade, really need a new phone, I prefer a compact device. But I can't justify the price. I thought about S24 but it's exynos one here not snapdragon. I recently bought a Xiaomi 14T, not opened the box yet so I can return it without a loss.
Should I bite the bullet and get this lovely blue S25?

Because of the ancient slow 25w charging. Unless the A36 or A56 surprises us. Deal breakers for me are the overall size and weight (I would still say a Pixel 8/9, Xiaomi 14/15 or even a Moto Edge 50 Neo IMO are perfect sizes for me), fast charging (45w?) and yes the cameras; a decent/ mid of the road chipset would suffice for me. it has to support either Dolby Atmos or universal spatial audio with a bit of bass and hi-res audio support are also deal breakers for me. I'm happy to wait what Nothing will bring out to the table too with my aforementioned "requirements". Any more advice?

Because of the ancient slow 25w charging. Unless the A36 or A56 surprises us. Deal breakers for me are the overall size and weight (I would still say a Pixel 8/9, Xiaomi 14/15 or even a Moto Edge 50 Neo IMO are perfect sizes for me), fast charging (45w?) and yes the cameras; a decent/ mid of the road chipset would suffice for me. it has to support either Dolby Atmos or universal spatial audio with a bit of bass and hi-res audio support are also deal breakers for me. I'm happy to wait what Nothing will bring out to the table too with my aforementioned "requirements". Getting tired of the 14T because of the reports of focus hunting on the video recording bit. Though the deals right now (£150 off + free 67w fast charging brick included) are rather tempting.
What do you guys think?

No change in design , I don't know why they are doing like this . Simply selling high price without any new innovation. No one should buy new mobile then only this brand like samsung and apple will change some new
