Sure but the other thing is the OS and app sizes are also growing massively, either way the cloud is no good with no signal.
It's demonstrably the case, we've made small phones, phones with bigger batteries etc and nobody buys them. They buy massive screens and skinny phones. The market has spoken basically.

Can you not do samsung finance with discounts
As far as I can tell not with student or BLC, the only option they give you is klarna which is rubbish.
I'm not so sure.
The best phones are just skinny.
If Samsung made 2 identical phones one with a 5000 battery and one with a 7000 battery. I'd take the 7000 every time.
I think it's because so many people upgrade only when batteries get dire, having a small battery speeds this up

I can tell you, without fear of contradiction that that's not the case on a large scale.
You might choose that, not enough people do to make it a going concern.
Samsung will cheerfully make anything enough people would buy, they're not pushing an agenda. You seriously have never come across a less ideologically driven business. Enough of you want it? They'll make it.

Good news (so far) topcashback tracked at £55.75 which makes my phone a decent little deal at £315.09 
I finally caved in a moment ago and traded my s24 ultra 512 GB in for the s25 ultra 512 GB
After discounts and the trade-in price, it comes to a grand total of £371.65
Fingers crossed it's the right decision!

I got this email too, didn't notice the increased value until you mentioned it. Samsung marketing is horrible, their offers can fluctuate so much.
People who ordered early for the Fold 6 got done over. When Samsung started giving out projectors, tablets and laptop after the pre-order period.

Haha yeah I signed up on 2 emails. First round main email got £100 and 2nd email address £50. Then yesterday both accounts got reminder emails with £100 now in each.
Yeah, remember the days of the IR blaster and swappable batteries. Samsung used to have some great options in the early Note phones but gradually they are dwindling away!
Mines still sitting as payment accepted too and not progressed to the order acknowledged phase yet.
Just curious about what phone cases/screen protectors people are using? I've decided to stay with the same flip-style wallet that I've been using for a while on my S10+, but unsure about the screen protector
Been looking at the tempered glass options, the Zagg one caught my eye - XTR4, but then reading up it advertises blue light filter, I'm not a fan of the look the screen when the blue light filter is enabled on the phone so hesitant to get a case with thay function built in
Next one that I've been looking at is Spigen GLAS.tR EZ Fit, I've def. Used Spigen cases before and I think I've used a screen protector from them before with no issued
Any other key brand screen protectors that are worth a look at?
Reddit users are saying the page claims deliveries will take place 1st Feb
People like to gloss over that fact to ease their pain. It's the equivalent of lube.
And you forgot to add yours is used/refurb

Yeah it's a refurb. But did say in other messages.
Its really unclear what a good deal is on s25u as some peoples phones are worth 600 and others 100 quid.
A good deal is whatever someone is willing to pay. Varies from person to person.
No point over thinking it.
