Hello there Deni!
Although I truly understand your frustration and I understand you perfectly, you have reasons to be frustrated, I think you were a little too harsh and that is also the reason for the denial comments to your post.
I think that we as users shouldn't be harsh, but instead explanatory, informative, and give Samsung explainations as to why it needs to be different.
And so, we'll start with the answer, then we'll expand on it.
The answer is: For those users that keep their vibration feedback on by default, this makes a difference. And the more premium the vibration motor, the more premium the phone feels.
I'll start by explaining about the base frequency. Now this is quite the subjective topic. On the one hand, the current base frequency on the S25Ultra makes the vibrations a bit stronger than the ones on the S24, S23 and the S22, but the previous base frequency felt smoother. Quiet confidence.
And, in fact, this is the issue of the current vibration motors. Not as great smoothness.
The second point I'll talk about in this reply is the take on the short vibrations not feeling as tappy.
Again, with this, I understand what Samsung wanted to do with this year's vibrations, they wanted to make them all stronger, that's why the motor's incapability to go all the way smooth and lite.
If you will pay attention, the base vibration frequency can be heard even in those lite vibrations such as the tapping on the keyboard, which depicts reduced smoothness.
Yes, the motor is clearly of a lower quality, since we can hear it buzzing, just like something would be wrong with it, that sound of a misplaced component vibrating when the vibration appears.
And while now I understand why all this had happened, and that is Samsung making the vibrations louder and punchyer, it takes away all the premium haptic experience from the vibrations, which I and some of us don't agree with, especially that we're paying for a phone of over 1000 dollars.
The lack of smoothness can be clearly observed when playing a call vibration pattern such as Spinning, Siren, or dubstep, which are all supposed to be smooth. Maybe it sounds and feels punchier, but that destroys the quiet confidence character we've been used to, that beauty of smoothness we've had for 3 years. That destroys the only vibration motor on Android that was rivaling Apple's Taptic engine. And while I feel like too this is a downgrade and Samsung needs to change this with the S26 series back to what it was at least if not to something even more advanced, it's important that we should be respectful towards companies and custommers alike.
If anyone at Samsung is looking at this message, I sinceerly hope they will understand this and, at least, bring back the haptic functionality we've been used to and, at least, not break what was already perfectly made.
