[Masser]

Sorry for posting this but as i have my s23 paid out im considering uograding to s25 ultra.

Does anyone know if thats a good choice if not please say why if its something to do with the s25ultra or not

Have done a quick look myself. A good condition S23 may get you £230 or thereabouts. 🙏

Also take a look at Samsung.com

You can buy an o2 contract as well through there and the upgrade offers may be better

[Masser]

Just had a look at Samsung.com

£218 for trade in when buying a contract via o2.

Take a look at the website

If your out of contract have you considered buying direct from Samsung. They're currently doing 0% credit over 3 years that comes to about £38 a month for the 1Tb. Then go SIM free.

I hadnt thut of that at all i will certainly look into it..the 1 tb woukd be great

[Moiramon]

That's what I did as it worked out cheaper than getting it on contract. Plus you can choose from all storage and colour options. I got the titanium jet black that's an online exclusive colour.

[Masser]

That sounds ideal i like the idea that it is cheaper too

I jumped from a 512Gb S23 Ultra to a 1Tb S25 Ultra @Masser, and the big thing that I noticed immediately was the quite dramatic display on the S25U. Photos taken on device are displayed in super HDR, and look STUNNING. Same goes for videos (unless recording in SDR). To be honest EVERYTHING looks stunningly immersive on this device. In terms of photography, both devices take great photos, but in video, the S25 Ultra is noticeably ahead, with the ability to switch lenses while recording at 4K 60 for instance the big upgrade for me personally, and the ability to record in SDR and HDR10 and HDR10+. Stabilization is better on the S25U also.
I find battery life on my S25U is noticeably better, but both devices run cool, and feel fast and slick in daily operation. The 25U is much more comfortable in hand thanks to those rounded off corners.
I store mountains of videos and photos on device (@256Gb annually), and I found that 512Gb storage was giving me storage anxiety at the end of every two year contract, so I went for 1Tb storage this year. I hope whatever device you choose, you really end up enjoying @Masser.

Hi thank you for the uodate on the ultra etc. Yes this s23 is giving me sleepless nights for storage of videos and ohotos and documents. I am finding i constantly clean the cache and and that does me head in if u know what i mean. I def want to uograde and from what you tell me im going your way. I cant understand why these days low storage phones are made. Everyine these days takes photos and like to be able to dhow them to family amd friends.
I have to send my ohotos to the cloud to help me keep them i used to trasnfer them to my laptop but that is in the bin now as it had wi dows 10 on ot and with miscroft going rhe way they are now i tried upgrading to another like linux but somethi g went seriously wrong i did get linux on it managed to operate it for q0 minutes then it died a death windows or linux wouldnt open up again and im so glad i have the cloud saving my mobile photos. But def the ultra 1tb is my choice now.
Thank you @Babishko
