Upgrade to s25?

[tinglish]

Hi guys,

So I currently have the s23(base model) and I'm tempted to get the s25(base model).

Just wanted an opinion from you guys as to if I should or not?,pros and cons if you like.

Thanks 😊

Well upto you really i have an s23 ultra myself and won't be upgrading due to loss of the Bluetooth on the spen and it's not a big enough upgrade for me especially as I've only had the phone just over a year. Basically you will get a faster processor better cooling and slightly better camera bump up but you will still get one ui 7 and most of the AI software on update soon. Also you still have 3 years of software upgrades from samsung on your current phone.

Goes down to ur personal opinion.

As others have said. It's up to you
What I will say is I had the S25 for a day and really liked it
Brilliant phone
I always go with an ultra
But it's a great size and brilliant set of cameras
As I said I had it for a day. So wasn't long enough to form too much of an opinion
But its a really good size
You're better off going to look st one and compare it to your phone and see what you think

Really depends on your personal needs and priorities. Asking open ended questions to a public forum just invites personal debate over subjective views, no ones opinions is right, it's an opinion at the end of the day, we each have them and they're personal to each and every one of us. The question I think you should ask yourself is, do you feel your phone is in need of changing, or do you just want a change? Then, factor in affordability, what you know you can spare, and finally ask, do you still feel apprehensive. If you're still in doubt, I'd say you already know the answer.

Hello 👋 @tinglish 

We all have different wants and needs tick boxes. 

So I'd suggest to soak up all the available YouTube reviews, and then go to a Samsung Experience Store or Highstreet Network Store to have hands ✋️ on. 

Above all enjoy your journey ✨️

I'm also in same boat for couple reasons

I got 128gb (my oneplus broke so jumped at a deal)... Which is nothing with samsung.
I was surprised how much bloat still exists returning to Sammy for first time since one ui.

I'd defo go 256gb for the 4.0 storage.

Also... Audio.
My memory of Samsung audio was them trying to thrash Apple and LG in quality and connectivity options.
(Dual BT still Samsung exclusive and a game changer.... Main reason I came back)

But I'm so disappointed with my s23. The fact I've got a 8gen2 sat there yet cannot use Snapdragon sound properly with apt x adaptive or lossless is just corporate greed imo. LHDC isn't even an option.
Instead their implementation of Ldac and dolby is buggy and hasn't been addressed.... And it's clear they're trying to start an Apple walled garden sitch and lock you into ssc....which doesn't match LDACs optimum quality (which CAN be achieved if there weren't so many background app variables to consider), nor is in house HQ from the silicon maker.
Plus... The codec is Samsung buds exclusive - overpriced when even xmems are cheaper

Plus - I carelessly got a "Like New" model in the UK, but turns out it's a U1 NA model - so rooting and amending to make functional isn't an option.

No excuse for the largest oem to be skimping on licencing costs when even Xiaomi mid-ragers are offering latest
