First Impressions

[buzzy3970]

With all the negative comments surrounding the S25 (mainly the Ultra) and coupled with the fact that I can't sleep. Thought it would be nice for us to have a section where we can express or opinions good or bad when we actually have our devices in hand. Look forward to seeing how everyone's day 1 will be. See you'll soon .

The criticisms of the owners of the S24U are not so valid... better those who had an older one!!!

Yes I'm going to give it some time before my impressions, but the first one is that it feels so great in the hand. No sharp edges and the weight. Man does this thing feel good. It's a noticeable difference even coming from the Pixel 9 Pro XL. It's light without feeling cheap. So excited to set everything up and give it the ultimate test .

is there a back side protective plastic sheet?

mine is white and it is MATTE/frosted. all the pics showed a GLOSSY white version.

i can't find any places to peel off any protective sheet!

is there any need with current batteries to fully charge the battery up before the first use?

in the old days, that was best for the batteries. but with modern batteries, i wonder if it is necessary at all?

No there is no plastic on the back just a small little sticker and they say that you don't have to charge the phone completely before use, but I'm old fashioned so I'm charging fully lol. It did come about 80% charged so I'm sure you're good either way. The back is matte but a fingerprint magnet.
