Chinese Phones Have Better Hardware..

but I'm glad to be back with an S25 Ultra. A bit of a clickbait title apologies!

I initially got the Titanium Jet Black S25U on pre-order. Then sold it for profit. Went through OnePlus 13 (best battery), Xiaomi 15 Ultra (best camera), Honor Magic V3, Vivo Fold X 3 Pro (import and amazing battery for a foldable) and now back to S25 Ultra Titanium Grey.

I will also be getting a free A9+ Tab as part of the deal. 

S25U is a complete package and the software unbeatable. The one feature I wish Samsung had which the Vivo did is the notification icons in the same colour as the actual app. I would also love to see Samsung offering aptx lossless.

Apart from that, feels good to be back!!

The best device choice for comeback

They always seem to technically have better specifications but always fall short in practice.

Sorry—the title got me; I had to respond to what my brain thought reading your title.

Welcome back 🔥

Good to hear. I get you.

The 'specs war' can sometimes seem to imply samsung are falling behind, but my humble opinion is that they do everything pretty much right... to strike the right balance between specs, hardware, software and integration.

Some of the latest cameras seem to swamp the specs of the s25 ultra but the overall user experiences, software processing and years of heritage always make me believe that samsung strike the best balance.

Glad you have decided to come back. S25 ultra really is a truly fantastic phone.

For me... I have an s25 ultra but have been loaned a fold 6 for the past few weeks... and I think I am now a convert. I will be seriously considering the fold 7 during the next unpacked.

I did have the Z Fold 6 but the battery life was terrible for me. It's a shame Samsung are still sticking to way less than 5000mah and 25W for charging.

The S25U on the other hand is a perfect device- jack of all trades if you like. The OP13 had 6000mah battery but my S25U lasts just as long if not longer, so specs are not the be all and end all.

Despite the battery life, I am also contemplating the Z Fold 7.
