The S25 Phones Are Not For S24 Users

The S25 ultra is a good upgrade, just not necessarily for People who bought the s24 ultra (and even the s23 ultra if they're happy with it). The design and shape is all preference, some people like curves, some like sharp points. They took away the Bluetooth s pen, but added a better ultra wide camera which the average user probably cares about more. I'm not justifying them taking away features, but let people buy what they want lol.

I also agree with people voting with their wallets, but let's not act like everyone is just a sheep for buying a reasonable upgrade. The s25s will be some of the best phones on the market and significant upgrades for people with phones older than two years. The expectation for wildly different phones every year just doesn't make sense. Even if you go back and look at the history of Samsung phones, the biggest jump was probably from the s10 and note 10 to the s20 ultra and note 20 ultra. Before that it was incremental upgrades with occasional new designs and features. It's the same for every other phone company as well, we just gotta put nostalgia and bias aside.

But either way, keep your phone if you're happy with it, and allow others to buy a newer phone if they want.
