S25 VS S24 Ultra

[Ginsing64]

Well I actually managed to order the S25 ultra. But I must admit to being a little torn. Is there enough of an upgrade to justify ditching my trusty S24. I would interested in hearing others views. After all the software will be available on other models soon. I'm not a gamer so speed isn't an issue. I do think removing the BT from the S pen is a mistake. I just don't feel so excited by this, maybe that's age🤣🤣🤣

If I were you I wouldn't bother. They lure you in with how much you can save on upgrading but it's actually costing you money.

[Ginsing64]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, to be honest. Is it beneficial or not?

[Ginsing64]

Think I'll spend an hour or two on youtube now and may cancel the order.

I was planning to upgrade to the S25 Ultra but cancelled my plan when I learned it does not support Bluetooth in the S Pen.

Depends on many factors i guess.. such as
- how much does it cost to upgrade? When combing deals and trade in, for around £300...I think it's worth it. If you're paying £1500 straight up, we'll that's a different story.
- are you that bothered or just being sucked in by FOMO and marketing? If you're not a power user or 'enthusiast' and really pushing the limits of your phones... probably not much point
- can wait until next year for it, when the price will come down...but of course the S26 series will be there to tempt you again!

Only you can really answer that... Depends how you use your device, for what etc.

I push my phone hard playing demanding games, taking photos and videos, editing videos, all browsing, personal and work emails and messaging...so for me, I'm happy to upgrade each year (plus I love new tech)

Yeah, I realise that is a choice, but I'm wondering if it's enough of an upgrade for what's on offer. Looking at youtube, it doesn't seem overly impressive. I'm not a gamer, so speed isn't an issue as such pros and cons, i suppose, depending on the user and use a you say.
