Who's ordering the S25?

[Laura Knotek]

I am going to keep an eye on this forum though because the excitement of people getting their new phones is great to read

I want to know what colours everybody is getting.

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.

Heard 7 Feb shipping starts

Despite the ridiculous rumor about the spen losing BT, I will definitely pre-order. Whether I'll follow through and keep it is debatable at the moment.

But then the rumored exclusive colors are chef's kiss. Ugh...same bs every year lol

The Galaxy S24/S23 series supports USB C Power Delivery (PD) using the Programmable Power Supply (PPS) standard. So the Samsung charging protocols aren't really proprietary, they conform to industry standards. All recent Anker chargers support PPS, among a few other standards.
I have a similar version of the Anker Prime Desktop Charger GaN that has 6 ports and it is able to fast charge a Galaxy phone, tablet and other devices at the same time without any issues. I am a big fan of the Anker chargers and have a few of their devices, including portable power banks. Very happy with how they perform. I think the more important issue is using a USB C cable that can support the wattage level that you need. But that is a whole other topic!

It's also worthy to note that in order to get Samsung's "super fast 2.0 charging" aka 45w charging, you need a 5A charging cord.

How does one get a 5Amp charging cord please? Does the included cable with the phone support 5 Amp charging using the 45 watt accessory purchased on Samsung.com?

Thank you.

I currently have a standard S23 which is working great and I'm considering upgrading to a S25, S25+, or maybe the S25 Ultra. I usually upgrade every 2 yrs so that I can get a newer battery, however, I had the battery in my S23 replaced 6 months ago because of swelling. It's a hard decision for me to upgrade since my S23 is working fine and the updated features for the S25s don't see to impactful.

Dear All:

i've been using the Spigen Liquid Crystal Designed for Galaxy S24 Ultra Case for the last 2 phones, the S24 Ultra and the S23 Ultra, iirc.

i MUST use a minimal case in order to use a PopSocket due to hand surgery as the PopSocket's adhesive won't stick to the phone's back.

however, Spigen has NOT yet come out with the S25 Ultra Liquid Crystal case! maybe they will, maybe they won't. i would like to have a Plan B case ready to go in case Spigen doesn't make one for the S25 Ultra.

the minimal case should be minimal but strong enough so the phone's weight won't cause the case's back side to flex while holding with the PopSocket, and i would much prefer it to be totally transparent/clear, i.e. no embedded glitter or anything else, just minimal, clear, sufficient strength to not flex too much. i do NOT need it to protect my phone, but merely to stick a PopSocket to it strongly and not have it flex.

may i please ask for some options? thank you all in advance!

I get a black phone because I ALWAYS rock a case and they are usually black anyway.

Would something like this work for your scenario?

The cord in the box will work but only charge at 25watts. You can find 5A cords on Amazon.

I use this 1:

re: colors --

i noticed in recent years that it doesn't matter what color i really want.

reason: say i want the white one as an example, when we do the really early pre-ordering immediately after the Unpacked event, IF one wanted the 1 TB storage memory, often there is only ONE color that comes with that large storage memory capacity, i.e. Grey or Black!

so i think it is moot (for me, ymmv) to pre-determine what color i really want because i wouldn't want to wait for other colors to become available in the real color i want! i want my new phone fast and i'd rather have it quickly than the actual color i want. ultimately, the color matters less for me than getting the phone in my hands the quickest!

what about others' experiences?

 

[jlangner]

I always say that I might skip the next one but never do..lol

A Samsung exclusive for sure. It'll be a toss up between the pink gold and jade green. I need to see the final "unpacked" color.

Because it's the equivalent of porting your number to a different carrier. Unless they changed it, you'll have to use a device that's completely paid off.

I used it years ago, like around 2012, when Sprint had some type of agreement with Google and you're right, it was great.

Sorry for the late reply. This has not been my experience. Yes you do have to use conditional call forwarding to the Google Voice features, where it will only forward calls that go unanswered. Aside from that I see no similarities to moving your number to a new carrier. If you had it back in 2012 that was when it was still great. So many good features that they've now stripped away. I got it early, when you had to apply for it and they were only giving out access to a select group. Anyway, I can understand hesitation to use something that you didn't like, but the way you talk about it sounds more like you're talking about Google Ki, which is actually a carrier, where you would likely have to have a paid off device to join and port your number for it to work. Where as with Goggle Voice, it is just an app that runs on your phone like any other, with the benefit of free visual voicemail, a separate number you can call and text from and the ability to connect all of your personal numbers to, so they all ring with one call, meaning you're never unreachable. Free was the draw for me, to avoid paying Big Red's ridiculous fee for visual voicemail.

Yeah it's always about 300 minus sign up bonus, minus rakuten cashback, and minus edu account discount that I have, when you trade with Samsung. And it's free when you tradein with Tmobile. I don't think I ever paid more than 200 bucks or so. Sometimes there is even a promo code for further discount taking a price down to like $100-150 bucks

I have never tried Rakuten

i know its off topic but what is involved.​
