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.
Honestly, the design choices don't bother me one way or another, considering I always use a phone case anyway.
But the integrated AI into everything is done in the most inane ways, and functions that used to work fine, don't in their AI iterations.
I have to delete my offline voice cache weekly just to be able to use voice commands to call my wife, spell check gets words wrong half the time now, and the grammar check is even worse! It tries to make conversational writing formal, and formal writing conversational or emoji filled. What the heck?!?
This is both a Samsung and Google issue... Using LLM based on Google docs and Samsung notes instead of actual dictionaries and grammar rules.
Spell check and autocorrect was actually getting good, and then it got worse than it ever was...
Brb in a chat should not autocorrect to I'll be back shortly, but it does, and I've checked my autocorrect.
I have a Samsung Z Fold 4, which I bought to combine phone, tablet and computer functionality with doing my artwork on a bigger screen. Also for reading my sheet music. However, dropping S-pen support on the Fold 7 was a really bad idea. While I could probably go back to drawing with a mouse, like I did with my very old Dell Optiplex GX1 desktop, it is quite a laborious chore, having to drop the design in pixel-by-pixel. Also, it makes signing pdf forms a chore. Same with marking up my scores. So, if I have to upgrade, I'll probably look for a Z Fold 6. No higher. Then, I'll have to evaluate other brands. Or buy a separate tablet. More expenses on a limited income in a bad economy.
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.
