Who is "most people"?

And what is your source.

This sort of article gets you to lose credibility fast.

The removal of the Bluetooth feature in the SPen was a Huge blow for me.Also I hated the rounded edges....as it does look like Galaxy is loosing its uniqueness by being like Iphone and I hate it.I have not upgraded my phone as I dont like any of the available options whether its S25 or upcoming S26.....the only option to upgrade to would be the S24 Ultra.

Until Samsung brings back the Bluetooth s pen, I will not be purchasing another device from them. They seem to look at every successful device they have whether it be a tablet, flagship phone or watch and figure out how to make it less attractive to the market. We are not looking for the lowest price on a flagship device, we are looking for a device that has all the features we want. And Samsung just doesn't listen to its loyal customer base. 20 years of using Samsung phones and when my s24 Ultra is done, I don't know what direction I will be going but I will probably not be Samsung. Unless of course, they start listening to their consumer base and bring back the features that we all want and miss.

I totally agree with you,I have the S22Ultra and I really dont have to upgrade but I dont want to loose out on the S24 ultra.I am not buying anything beyond that for now.I love the Flip and Fold but the camera in them is a huge set back...

I just went from an S10e to an S25. The fact that the S25 looks and feels like an iPhone is tragic. The S10e was peak Samsung design. Slim, rounded edges, big enough. It was perfect, IMO. The S25 hard edges are garbage, absolute garbage.

I bought S21 in 2021, because my Sony Xperia XZS was literally falling apart. Ever since I was keeping an eye on newer models of Samsung flagships but eventually I realised that 2021 models were the only acceptable for me, and every year design of the new models gets only worse

I'm not a big fan of Samsung phone because of its bloatware and never will buy it again mainly because of it.

In my opinion smartphones are in the stage of design/performance stagnation and crucial factor in my next phone choice will be:

3.5mm jack, pure Android without any bloatware, screen not bigger than 6 inches and decent led light. That's it

I hate the redesign of the camera module more than the rounded corners. The camera plateau was a massive flop, excluding Xiaomi's attempt, so how does Samsung think their attempt will work unless they will copy Xiaomi?

Get a Google Pixel 9a or (base) 10.

I bought my S24 Ultra 1TB in January '25, so I HAD the option of going for the S25 Ultra. BUT several things turned me off on the S25U. No 1TB memory option AND I vastly preferred the flat screen with square corners on the S24.


After putting up with a OnePlus McLaren phone the last 4 or 5 years, round corners is a hard NOPE. I opted for the S24 because I did not wanna deal with another 4-5 years of rounded corners any more. The Android UI wasn't (and still ain't) designed for rounded screen corners.

Good choice buddy....I've had my 24 ultra since Jan of 24. I pre ordered it with the 1tb also.....I've been wondering about upgrading but it looks like I already have the best one....I'm not to well versed in the whole tech world of phones but every time I put it out there in my comments , everyone tells me to definitely stick with what I got.....plus I've been really studying about all the things THIS particularly model can do....this thing is like a pc,laptop,tablet and phone all rolled into one. Let's hear it for the 24!
