Hi TF Folks,

I have been using Android as Secondary phone and iPhone Pro models as primary phone for the past 12 years. I am feeling bored of lack of features, foldable on iPhones. I have been using Motorola Razr Ultra 40 and didn’t like the Flip tech too. So wanted to go for Samsung Ultra 25 [Reason for Samsung Flagship upgrade is to get ready to shift if Apple doesn’t upgrade better by 2026] . By exchanging it with Moto Razr Ultra 40 and with discounts on Flipkart I am getting Samsung S25 Ultra for Approx 95K with 3/6/9months Free EMI.

So what’s your view on Samsung S25 ultra? @vaibhav111 @CyberPsych and other Android Enthusiasts.

Go for it, I bought the S24U last year at the launch. Happy with everything!

Right now, they are giving S25U 512GB for the price of 256GB, which is a good to-grab offer. From the offline store you can get one below 120k with a 45W original charger. There is not much difference between S24U and S25U, but the same goes for the price, so get the latest one 😉
 
No major improvements from s23U, Devaluation to s24U with removing curved display & saying it's giving bad experience, I never had any issues with curves from past 2 year.

Slight camera improvements to s24U with flat display.

Again Slight Camera improvements to S25U but now they removed SPEN Functionalities.

Don't know why companies removing features and telling us that it's not convenient. They are making fool & trying to make money as apple does with there customers from past iPhone 13 series.

Still in last will suggest you to go for Samsung instead of apple, if you need functionalities to operate and automate your device according to you and if you need to show off or just having simple functionalities in complex way and love heat in winter with phones too you can go for apple.
my perspective is even at 2012 or in 2013 with Symbian OS I had used the feature, apple is giving now and saying it's new feature. Shit on there r&d team.

Security is more concerned now a days and I don't know who the hell is saying apple is more secure while a hacker team hacked iPhone in 5 seconds and Samsung s23 took more than 1 minutes.

The only thing is that they went backwards and removed bluetooth on the S-Pen on S25 Ultra. It was very useful for taking pictures, air gestures etc. The new phones are on display in Samsung Stores, you should definitely check them out before the purchase.

Also, I would recommend you check out MKBHD reviews for the phone, I like the guy's opinions, you might too.

S25U might not be a bad deal, you will no doubt be satisfied, but there's better alternatives available imo. Again, all comes down to the value you're getting for your Moto if that's a concern

I follow them. MKBHD and mrwhosetheboss. As I am not upgrading from S23U or S24U, this might feel better that’s what I am thinking of.

If you have s23u, then i don't think its time to retire s23u. Within 2-3 months we will be getting oneui 7 and thats all every s model will have same functionalities.
 
I am also using my iPhone 16 pro max as primary phone.

Its mostly used for official work, banking, hotel & travel apps.

And, using s23 ultra as secondary mobile for occasionally playing games, camera & social media apps.

So not looking to upgrade my android for a year more at least.

If someone is android heavy user, then taking S25 Ultra with some good deal makes sense.

In your case, you should definitely go for upgrade if you wish to make android your primary phone.

I also get bored at times of iPhone lack of features & lack of innovation but I am in the apple ecosystem ( iPhone, MacBook, Airpods & Apple watch ) for my day to day routine/work, so will keep it as primary for time being.

I’m actually stuck in their ecosystem. iPhone Pro, iPad Pro, AirPods Pro, AirPods Pro Max, Watch Ultra. So just wanted to check Samsung for better alternative, will see if I can come out.

Same as yours but I don’t like using Mac, use my iPad while travelling otherwise I use my HP Windows PC
