Samsung Galaxy S25 Family Thread

I love my S24U but I would not call it faultless. The anti reflective coating wearing off and creating what looks like permanent smudges has happened to me and it can happen on every handset from what I've read.

Average battery, poor charging speed are the other two things that annoy me.

Doesn't look like Samsung will be fixing all 3 things in the S25U so I'll give it a miss.
I have always kept mine in a case with a screen protector, although I suspect the current value has decreased massively so unless Samsung offer a massive trade in price I'll keep hold of it for another year
 
Has the battery spec been leaked yet? With phones like the OnePlus 13 out with a 6,000mAh siilicon battery, I'm wondering if Samsung will puush the envelope a bit more on battery.

Seems pretty much confirmed at be 5,000 mAh, same charging speeds apart from wireless getting a bump from 15W to 25W

I think Samsung's R&D for past few years has been on solid state batteries maybe s26 they'll start using it ? I don't think they can wait putting off improving battery and charging speeds any longer
 
Last rumour I heard is that they are planning on using them in wearables from 2026, certainly hope there are plans for smartphones too as they are really starting to get left behind the competition.
 
I expect around early summer May/June when there are additional discounts per S24 upgrades previously

Lol what R&D. They've been lacking for ages.
 
Here we go again, doing my usual s24u>s25u. Anyway, did anyone just get the email that allows you to reserve the s25u for £50 today and you get a £100 off voucher on the 22nd.
.on top of the £50 if you've already registered so £150 in total. Makes me a bit nervous that they won't send the voucher out in time for the pre order as last year they messed up sending out the money off vouchers. It also makes me think there will be no free stuff like the Galaxy watch this year like last. Looks like they're going for money off for pre registering.

Maybe in the Slim?


The phone being slim means it is likely coming with a new silicon-carbon battery, which is lighter but has a fairly large capacity – probably around 5,000 mAh.

I got the "Whilst you wait, don’t miss out on your exclusive £50 voucher! Unlock your offer by answering the question below!1" email, this is the first ive heard of getting another £100 off voucher, can you share more ?

I think they will either drag it out a few years, waiting for someone else to test it out first or put it intro something premium.

Got this new email last night. Basically you pay £50 and they email you a new code on the 22nd to get £100 off. So £150 off in total. I've never had anything like this in the previous years of pre ordering the Ultra....https://ibb.co/2twRj8c

I dont understand why they are doing this instead of jumping through hoops.

Give us the £150 off for a limited time when you order.

Yeah, it's annoying. My guess is it ties you into buying it before you see the specs and price. Like I said, my fear is they mess up sending out the codes so you can't pre order until a day later or something and miss the initial window for getting the phone. Last year people didn't get their money off codes until hours or a day after it was on sale, there was a big mess up. I'm also guessing there won't be any free gifts because of the money off stuff this year.
