Personally I think that samsung needed to put all their energy into AI this phone cycle to compete with Apple that they couldn't afford to do a big phone upgrade. I think the s26 will blow us away! Some early rumors are suggesting a more mAh, silicone carbon battery with 65w charging. I don't think that a Bluetooth spen will come back anytime soon if at all.
I beg to differ because Samsung has been AI focused before Apple, but of course once they start to do something everyone is considered to follow and take it serious

Respecting everyone's reasons, I guess someone finds the S25 very attractive just as the one with the S24 sees it as an unnecessary change, there is something for everyone and colors. In my case I already bought the S25 and I'm going to create a new post tomorrow because I'm waiting for the s27 to come out, there's no way to keep everyone happy

I'm coming from the S22 Ultra so there's no way I'm waiting another year lol. The Spen thing bugs me but I'm hoping there will be some sort of update down the line.

While we're at it, who's waiting for the S27?

What's the point of this thread? It's the inverse of who's getting the S25.
Not only is the a premature thread since the S25 alhasnt come out yet, there isn't even the slightest hint at what the S26U will be.

People say they will get it in this thread and Samsung decided to make it a triangle, does that still hold true now?

Are you asking people (of their respective countries equivalent) if they will be voting Democrat or Republican, Left or Right, without knowing the candidates?

Who here is getting Team Fortress 3 and Left 4 Dead 3? (If you get the joke/meme).

From the tests I've seen, the difference between the S24 Ultra and the S25 Ultra isn't drastic. Once One UI 7 arrives on the S24 Ultra, I expect the gap to narrow even further—unless, of course, it's intentionally optimized to favor the S25 Ultra.

It’s clear that Samsung is following industry trends rather than setting them.
I have a feeling that the S26 Ultra will largely depend on what Apple does next.

There was a time when Samsung led the way in innovation, but now it seems to be more of a follower.

For now, I’ll be sticking with my S24 Ultra and waiting to see what Google or Apple bring to the table because the innovative spirit Samsung once had seems to be fading.

I really probably should upgrade- I mean, from the financial aspect of being able to buy this year’s model for a trade in (I have the s24 Ultra) and $400.

But, besides being loathe to spend $400, I’m also trying to be more environmentally conscientious . At this point, everything is ‘fast enough’, ‘zoomier enough’, etc. Like the concept of AI, but why? I mean, maybe I’m low brow and don’t use my phone for anything but maps, browsing and pictures.

We need less faster and more sustainability. Like a phone that will last forever or close to, like the big black ma bell versions that lived in our homes forever.

Do we need to enshroud these things in glass? Or would it hurt to put teflon like my old moto droid razr which felt so good in the hand.

Of course I am waiting for the S26Ultra since, as my GF states, I am a phone junky. And most likely I will purchase one and trade in the S25U. Most likely will get a new ultra every year until the big black plastic bag arrives and I am shoved into it. or someone opens up a Samsung S-series Ultra support group for phone junkies.

Finally someone who thinks like me.

Same here. I only got 600 for trade and if i would have waited another year it would have been worse. But if the 26u is really great, i can jump again!

These days I'm waiting to see what Samsung offers for pre-ordering more than the phones itself.
If this isn't the truth. Definitely miss the old pre order days. Well not the VR headset and memory cards lol, but the Samsung.com reward days.
