Who else plans on hanging with team S25 for the long haul?

Nope. Battery tech needs to change first. I don't have a source, only personal experience. We are at the verge of safe charging for the current battery t|ch we have.

Any higher and we are going to degrade out batteries faster and faster.

Well I hear the rumors on the s26 series almost same battery and 65w charging.

Wouldn't be enough. I barely/didn't let go of my S23U. Only got the S25U because of reasons behind the scenes but wouldn't have bought it otherwise. Sidegeade at best.

Everyone's mileage may vary, but I frequently use the Bluetooth S Pen on my S24 Ultra to take photos. I never have battery issues, and I typically have around 5-6 hours SOT.

I use "smile" voice command to take photos which has worked well in most instances.

Everyone has different reasons to stay put or upgrade so I understand that .

Can also use many fitness trackers or Galaxy Watches (or dedicated keychain button) as a substitute

How do you know that the soundbar will work with an iPhone or Pixel?

I don't....I am dumping Samsung due to the fact they will not hold up on the soundbar warranty! The soundbar will connect to the S25U, and it should connect to any device that can send a signal.
This could be my last post, the iPhone was shipped last night and expected delivery is today (surprised!).
But who knows for sure, might return with a pixel someday; just never a Samsung.
See ya....

My Samsung phones have worked flawlessly; however the $1100 Q soundbar, six months old is a giant POS on my TV cabinet and Samsung does not want service as I would expect. I also own other Samsung devices so they will be replaced in the near future. Therefore, I am dumping the S25U and decided I would give the iPhone 17 pro max a twirl. Never had an iPhone so it will be new to me.
However, it appears the shipping date is slipping so the pixel starts to look better. Regardless, within a month the S25U will be replaced and I will move on!
Sounds drastic to many, but hey, I have the $$ and it is only money.

Yeah you definitely have to do what's best for you. Can also understand the frustration when warranties aren't being honored. Sorry to hear that.

I'm hoping I can hold onto mine for another year past the s26u but we see I say that and usually upgrade lol

Yeah idk about that and the good trade in amounts definitely don't help .
