My S22 Ultra battery drains so fast after years of use and sometimes there is moisture issues with the charing port, so reluctantly pre ordered since I do enjoy the S22 Ultra. Trade in deal after taxes will get me paying around $500 once I sell the Watch7 and strap I got with the bonus credit. I never liked the smart watches, so flipping those helps.

Tempting to trade in my S23 ultra for $750 and the $130 credits. I guess the only improvements to look forward is the camera updates. I will miss the bluetooth on the stylus, using that for most photos.
Battery life and heat, screen is flat as well. Big improvements for me when I did the s23u to s23u trade in. All of which are better in s25u id do if you can get a decent deal.

yea dude. its crazy to me these flagships cost more than a laptop but totally become obsolete in 2 years but i have laptops still pushing windows 7. my phones always begin to lag at the 2-3 yr mark. i see wat these companies are doing but i guess these hardware and software ecosystem changes really hurt older devices and cant keep up.

Even if it is mostly ai/processing, all of that will be faster and better on the s25 series given the relatively huge jump in pefromance for a one year upgrade. If you want a phone to last for 5 or so years, this is probably a good year. The chip in the s24 was a relatively small improvement over the snapdragon Gen 2 the previous year (and in some ways, was worse because it ran hotter and throttled faster and early accounts point to that not being a problem, especially in the ultra)
It's all perspective..

Strictly coming from the S24 ultra the cam tests out there are virtually identical early on.. a little more noise some report but sharper on the S24. Probably do to software tweaks more than anything.

The cpu really isn't a big deal in this scenario for most users.

Now if looking for new phone with no trade-in or older phone perhaps going with the newest is the best option. Though some would say go with older since it will drop. Still many years of updates for S24 users.

lets not exaggerate here lol. Unless its a weird chipset year, generally phones run pretty well now for basic operations forever. Heck I have a iphone xs max around that still runs fine doing some normal uses.

Battery life can get iffy over time tho, but those are generally pretty cheap to replace officially, or even cheaper from a guy at the mall kiosk.

Traded S23 Ultra for S25+. Probably not the best value but the ultras are just too big and unwieldy for me, so I'm happy to get a bit smaller form factor and new battery etc. $430 total

I thought about the plus but the only advantage it has over its direct competitors like the pixel 9 pro xl is weight. It's too pricey for what it is imo.
The s25u is a decent bit narrower but not curved on the sides like the s23u so stretching across the width may feel roughly the same (s24u was way worse than either here). Dropping almost 20g of weight is huge and gets it lighter than the iPhone 15 pro max which I can one hand pretty consistently without having to stretch, although the s25u is still just bigger all around. I also find the s23u a bit unwieldy, as you said, so I'm hoping it's a solid step toward a happy medium

If we use a cash back site that. Is the cash back on the full price of the order before the trade in credits even though we aren't paying that full amount up front?

It's because you have 512gb model selected. It's only free with 256gb.
No they jack up the price of buds pro $20 more.

It's always on the pre-tax subtotal (after all discounts) and net of trade.

Is this the best I will do for a cracked S24 ultra trade in? I could get it fixed locally, but it doesn't seem worthwhile.

Or should I hold off?
