Samsung fans, let’s be honest—has the Galaxy S25 Ultra actually brought anything groundbreaking to the table? Sure, we might see an Exynos comeback, a slightly better AI camera, and some minor refinements in One UI 7, but is that enough?
At this point, Samsung seems to be playing it safe, focusing on iterative updates rather than real innovation. Where’s the true next-gen zoom tech? Why are we still getting incremental battery improvements instead of a real leap? And let’s not even start with One UI 7, which—despite being polished—still lacks customization freedom compared to what Android should offer.
Meanwhile, Apple is catching up fast, and other brands like Xiaomi and OnePlus are pushing boundaries in charging speeds, AI processing, and camera tech. So, is Samsung falling behind? Or are we just too loyal to admit it?
Let's hear it—are you genuinely excited about the S25 Ultra and One UI 7, or is it just another "same phone, different year" situation?
Apple and Android isn't comparable at all, Xiaomi is not good at all, (performance, OS, AI, Camera, etc.) literally trash in everything except price. OnePlus is alright, they do use the newest tech unlike samsung but OS/One UI still superior by far. As for charging speeds, 45w is more than enough really even apple doesn't reach 45w. Though I do have to agree, S25 (at least the ultra) is straight up hot garbage. S24 better in everything except for the chipset, but once one ui 7 reaches the S24 there is no reason to buy the S25.
I do feel Samsung is playing safe but its still the best and safest android to buy, the only thing that may overthrow samsung are Google Pixels if they used snapdragon instead of tensors, or if Huawei regains Google, Android and the newest chips. So I guess Samsung just really lacks competitors due to them having limitations like Pixels and Huaweis but they def aren't the best spec phones at all.
