After comparing S25Ultra to S23-S24Ultra, I think it more suits S22/Ultra users. The camera, battery, screen, etc. doesn't much different from S23/S24. It might be the best time for S22 or earlier model users to consider this upgrade. What's your opinions about it?

The most hardware upgrade from S25Ultra over my current S23U follows:
1. CPU, GPU
2. Larger screen by little, better screen.
3. 50MP Ultra Wide Camera, this is a Good upgrade for photography enthusiast like me.

Above are main points of my thoughts.

I think its to fix the magsafe issue because before you couldnt use the spen when using a magsafe case for wireless charging

S21 series users should upgrade to S25 while S22 series users should to S26, and you as S23U user should upgrade to S27

I would upgrade to S24 Ultra than S25 Ultra.. It's a downgrade for me if I go for the S25 Ultra from S22 Ultra..

Aside from the camera, upgraded processor, RAM etc.. Those are just minor increments of hardware upgrades.. Majority of reviewers also states that removing the S Pen capability does affect certain usability which they are accustomed to.. I myself for one, does use the S Pen as a remote for photoshoots.. Air gestures to forward or rewind etc. are somewhat gimmicky which I don't use.. Lastly, I still prefer the S22 Ultra, S23 Ultra and S24 Ultra corners.. As a previous Note 20 Ultra user, I'm used to it.. Then again, everyone have their own preferences.. S25 Ultra is a good device no doubt, just not for me..

Yes. Understand your own needs is important. Now also a good time to buy older model, new set at lower price.
