Everyone ready for another iteration of the same thing? I don't know why I do it every year, but it's been a good 4 years now where I literally can't tell the difference and just deal with a hassle of moving everything over and logging into everything for no reason.

I still haven't used any of the AI crap that came with the s24 ultra.
Save up to $1250 is a real bad sign for how expensive this phone will be.

I'll guess $1800 for the ultra

Still have my S22 ultra because the trade in deals on the s23 ultra were crap... And on the s24 ultra were crap when compared to those offer back with S22.

So I'm guessing the S22 ultra will now be worth squat.
Haha exactly the same here. I bought my s22 ultra in fall of 2022 I believe off a SD thread. I traded my Frankensteined note 10+ for s22 ultra and paid like 300 bucks. I've yet to see a s23 or s24 ultra trade in deal below 600

And in some ways it felt like a downgrade. The battery life is shit. Thank God for the 45w charge. My work s23 regular lasts for like a week on a charge.

I used my S24 Ultra for 9 months before switching to the Pixel 9. The S24U had the worst photos in daylight photos with contrast, a downgrade from the S23U. The photos of my black dog had zero details captured, and the Pixel is light-years ahead. I think mine was a dud, because all reviews said it produced really good photos. I will consider upgrading to the S25U because of the new Snapdragon CPU which is a huge leap in efficiency. Also, all the Samsung crapware is ridiculous - so many redundant apps that are inferior to the Google ones.

Got the S24 Ultra few months ago for $700 something before taxes with no tradin.

The S25 Ultra literally is iterative... only thing mildly i like is the 16gb ram which should have been in the S24 Ultra.

Cpu - solid upgrade if you actually will use it.
Battery - same
Charging speeds - Same slow shit
Camera - basically same, minor upgrade to superwide lens.
Screen - Same with slightly higher nits outside which is nice.

This is the most honest comparison, I had the same thoughts. The only decent upgrade is the CPU.

It's better to just get the s24 ultra or even s23 ultra on the low.

Save upto $1250 split up that I could think of:
Free upgrade to 512 GB - Save $200 (256 GB $1349 and 512 GB $1449)
Trade in max - Save $800
Reserve Credit - Save $50
Promotional Accessories Credit - Save $200 (Use it along with preorder or let go).

At least you will need to pay $450 - $500 plus tax OOP if upgrading from S24 ULTRA. Obviously you will get around 15% C B from well known sites. Still not worth if there are not much upgrades apart from new processor and new 50mp ultra wide sensor camera.

Quote from carloselcoco :
it is just sad to see how bad the quality downgrade is when compared to the S22 and S23 thanks to the removal of one of the cameras (10x I think it was) in favor of croping the image and doing the zoom digitally with AI. The loss in quality is very noticeable.
They figure that 5x is more useful than 10x, so having a dedicated 5x is better than doing digital zoom on the old 3x lens. Also even if you were zooming 10x, because the 5x sensor is 50MP sensor with an f3.4 lens and the old 10x is 10MP with f4.9, the crop means that you're still using the center 12MP with the better lens so 10x is still comparable. Online reviews say the difference is only really noticeable at far beyond 10x which is kind of gimmicky.

Recently was at an airshow so the planes were decently far away, on my S24U I was pretty much using 10x max for video and photos and the results were eye candy

FYI, Google FI like the previous year most likely will have $650 off upfront discount for 512 GB during preorder for existing customers on flexible or unlimited plus plans. You will need to pay for 4 months of service. It seems that they consider you an existing customer after around 21 days of service so if you want to avail that discount now would be the time to sign up for FI. I've been upgrading to latest ultras every year without paying anything by selling the old one for same amount.

Agree. Unless the camera upgrades to 1 inch sensor, you'll hear only AI BS.

Samsung still hasn't fixed the slow shutter speed on its Galaxy phones. Always ends up blurry when taking moving pics if you have kids or pets
