Who's ordering the S25?

[donm527]

Maybe. Didn't find the S24U worth moving to from a 23U. I have liked the feel of the 24/24+ with the rounded edges so the S25U should feel nicer with the rounded edges.

I was thinking of an iPhone 16 Pro Max because AT&T was offering $1000 for my S23U and was interested about trying the iPhone as a daily again but that desire has died down.

Still have my S22U also because when I got the S23U I was going to use the S22U as the trade but AT&T was giving $1000 trade-in for an iPhone 11. I have 11's at work laying around not deploying anymore so asked the boss if I could have one and used it to trade... so almost cost me nothing to get it and now have two phones I can use to trade.

Will have to see how much they offer for my S23U or my S22U. If not from Samsung PreOrder will see what AT&T will offer. Last 3 or 4 phones I've always got $1000 from one of those two so we'll see.

Are you going through Samsung then and not your carrier? I've wanted to do that but then chicken out, thinking I might have some issues with ATT services not working, like their voicemail. Their voicemail sucks unless you pay extra for transcription devices, but not sure if the alternative would be worse.

That's correct, yes. The last four or five years I've ordered an unlocked phone directly through Samaung. It's worked out well. Spectrum Mobile is my carrier.

Morning friends, tis that time of year. I signed up for the reservation credit. On the fence about upgrading this year but we know I probably will LOL

Looks like Nova doesn't support some of the widgets in UI 7, anyone know a launcher with scrollable dock?

I usually update every three years. This is the year to update my 22+. Definitely not interested in the ultra-model. Probably will stick with the plus again.

May i ask the brand and model of the orange cover you showed please? Available on Amazon or where please? Can a Popsocket stick to the center of the back (the orange part)?

Thanks.

I've already registered for the reservation, which is practically a marketing study to get a vague idea of how many people would be interested... but I think it's fine with the offers and all that.

In fact, I've already ordered a case on Aliexpress and it's not bad for having protection from day one, then I'll see what good case to buy.

What are you guys planning to do? Upgrade the phone with the carrier or with Samsung directly and why?

I don't remember on which technology website I read something about how Samsung was planning to give as part of the launch promotion of the S25, some kind of partial or initial subscription to the artificial intelligence service they want to promote, maybe I am one of the few who uses chatgpt or copilot any free service when I need help with AI, but I definitely prefer something more tangible like a promotion for the pre order, something like discounts, an upgrade in capacity (if I buy the 256gb they send me the 512gb at no cost) or that they give me more money for the trade-in, accessories like the Buds or some case, but not a subscription.

The Galaxy S25 reservation system is now open! New this year is a sweepstakes when you reserve for a chance to win a Samsung $5,000 gift card. Have they ever done that before? No obligation to buy anything, of course.

The next evolution of Galaxy AI Reserve now and get a chance to win $5,000 Samsung Credit

If you win, you're required to be on their publicity items and be willing to disclose your name, etc.

I wonder how many days after us pre-ordering on January 22nd would they ship out the phones?

I would hate to have to wait 3+ weeks!

They ought to take a page off of Apple's marketing skills and immediately after the Unpacked event, all stores will have no emboargos and start selling. When you've whipped up maximum interest, catch it while it's hot!

Unfortunately, Samsung isn't as good in marketing and always have asked us to wait like 14 days. Dumb dumb dumb move.

I will, I'm just hoping that the camera on the 25 ultra has improved over the 24 ultra
