Without an S-pen, it is just another phone. I don't use mine every day but when I do, like a screen-off memo or to sketch something quickly or interact with a web page or game with tiny buttons, boy does it come into it's own. I still use my S23 Ultra because the 24 got rid of the 10x prime lens, and the 25 and 26 got rid of the Bluetooth camera trigger.

I've tried using "ordinary" flagship phones with so called styluses but they're so inaccurate, and you've never got the stylus handy when you 1want it.

I don't use the S-Pen a lot for notes, but I do use it. What I use it for more than anything else is as a remote shutter release for the camera. For selfies or group photos, there's just nothing like having a little discreet way to fire off pix without using the self-timer, contorting into odd positions, using 3rd-party apps, or messing with a smartwatch. And it's always onboard, so you don't have to keep track of anything else. Once you start using it for photos, it's something you don't want to do without.

I don't think anything will help, especially after the beating the iPhone 18 Pro Max just gave the S26 Ultra. Samsung has a lot of work to do, but honestly, it feels like they’ve simply run out of fresh ideas. Even when they added the privacy display that was a clear sign they were all out of ideas.

You are talking about that clunky, thick, heavy, super-rounded, retro-cornered, busy-backed iPhone, right? And the IOS which looks like thirty year old Disneyland graphics that is supposed to make up for real user friendly innovation. I thought so. Woke America remains mesmerized. But it's not quite as popular outside of this captive audience.

I hope my S25U lasts the next 4 cycles because I won't be buying that ugly phone. In fact I may go back on Back Market and get an S23U, so I can have a phone that best matches my N20U and still have the 200MP camera.


I am sick of Samsung just chasing everything Apple does all the time. That ugly camera bump is just not needed unless it is gonna hold a fancy set of cameras that really do some cool stuff and they wont be.


It will get rid of the annoying wobble that is about it.

I love that my old S24 Ultra has a perfectly rectangular screen. I know I am hugely in the minority on this. But I will be keeping it until it dies or just can't power Android well anymore, I think. It is the peak of phone design for me thus far from Samsung. I also love the design and layout of the camera lenses, with the polished metal and vertical layout. The S25 Ultra had thick oddly-angled plastic rings that looked like they belonged on a knock-off phone and the newest S2x Ultras are no longer distinctive.

This is why I can't stand Android users; first they don't copy, now they do. What is it gonna be, buddy? Do they copy or don't they?

On another note, you come here talking about S26 series and foldables while still owning an S25, which means you do not own a foldable and you do not own an S26, yet you blabber on about the new devices, so how can I take you seriously?

So what? Why do I need to own them? Foldables are stupid fragole ovwrpriced pieces of crap, regardless of brand; no mattwr how cool they may be.

I haven't said anything about the S26.

I dont need to own anything to speak good or bad about it.


I also never said Samsung doesn't copy Apple. What i did say bevause I know tou fabatics like to try to twist an manipulate what people say. I told you specifically, you always here when you thinl Samsjng os copying Apple, but you mysteriously are absent when Apple copies.

Apple's Duo is a copy of the Surface Duo. Same shape, just smaller and with a continuous screen.

I am a tech fan. I like all tech regardless of brand. I have my favorites, doesnt mean i am blind to whatever else exist.

Maybe because your feeble little brain cant comprehend a simple fact. You dont need to own something to know if it os good or bad. Otehr than the screen, what is really different about the S26 vs the S26? Barely nothing is different. The S24, S25 and S26 are virtually identical. Just like the iPhone 16, 17 and 18 are all.virtually the same. Please explain why do I need to own an S26 to talk about it? You sound stupid.

All foldable are accidents waiting to happen. As I have stated, my wife had the Flip 5, she never had an issue. 6 months after having the Flip 6 the screen failed. Samsung replace it with no problem.

A screen shouldn't be being because it creates a point for failure. Which makes a $2000 asking price absurb.

I think they are cool. I think the Surface Duo was a better solution because th2 screen being separate means that opening/closing wont weaken the screens and make them fail. I dont need to own it to know.

I am a certified MCSE and Cisco engineer. I have worked used and repair more electronics than you have ever touched in your whole like and I know that as a fact. I have been repairing computer related hardware since 1989. I have more experience with them then you will ever have as a consumer. I dont need to own something to know how goodnor bad it is. I can watch someone use it and show me what it does to know it isn't for me.

I took a long hard look at the Fold 7. The device is very nice. But I see it as a overpriced toy. I do like toys. I think the device is amazing. But I dont need to own it to know it isn't for me.

And Apple monster they just released? While you claim the muktitasking is better? So one app.on each screen versus having 3 or 4 is better? And yet other device can still do one and one? This is the best Apple could do after 8 years? If that is what you like, then Apple set a very low var no ine needs to follow and it proves you are a hopeless case.

They both are the same phone other than the camera lenses covers. They at least protect the lenses from damage.

My S25U isn't old and outdated. You sound so stupid. A 1 year old device isn't outdated and certainly not old.

"The ignorance and stupidity and delusional behavior is just annoying."

You just described yourself. Dude you dont own a apple device you dont own a s26 you dont own a fold why are you even here ? Go back and comment on the S25 series. I dont understand how people can talk about what they dont have. I just dont get it. I dont own a lambo but you dont hear me talking about one. Amazing ignorance of people MEANING YOU.

What exactly is so different about the S25U vs the S26U.

I don't care about the privacy display. The cameras are basically identical and so is the physical design. The software? It came with One UI that my phone is also getting. So what exactly would be the reason to own it.


See you so use to buying the same phone year after year, that you think we all should do it.

I use to buy phones every year, because they actually did change the design and cameras and SoC and the software.

Now they build phones like cars. They use a platform and make several phones from it making each year model only slightly different just like they do with cars.


Since you think you are so smart, since the S24, S25 and S26 aren't all that much different, why would I buy all of them.

For someone claiming I'm the one who's triggered, you're putting a lot of emotional energy into these paragraphs. The copycat routine isn't giving what you think it is.

If you actually want to talk logic, having the latest device matters for simple reasons: it gets years of exclusive software updates, better battery efficiency, and hardware that actually handles current tech demands.

If you have a logical counterargument to that, I’m listening. Otherwise, have fun typing to yourself.

PS; I suggest that you update your device annually so that your contributions to this discussion may be taken more seriously.

You don't need the latest device to get 7 years of updates. My S25 will get 7 years of updates.

If the battery needs replacing, I can remove the back ckver and replace it, just like I have done in other devices.

I have a latest model. I dont need the one that just came out. Again you keep showing you are very smart. Thw difference betweenast year and this year is not worth me wanting my money on. I have bettwr things to buy.

Just going to answer you last part your¹ not worth my time.

"You will always be out of your league when it comes to me."

You talk about levels but your² still using middle school insults. You are %100 right on that 2 different levels. You cant reach my level keep looking up. Your s24 is still relevant of coarse³ it is lol going to leave it at that. Man up dude step up your game don't be a loser all your life im sure your old enough.


¹*you're

²*you're

³*course

⁴*you're

Like I said, you're not on my level. You can't even make sense (not since) without using AI. SMH. Please keep your illiterate comments to yourself.

Do you even know what outdated means?

Fact - the S24, S25 and S26 pretty much have the same canwras with only slight hardware and software tweaks. They all use the exact same 200MP sensor.

What would I gain feom getting the S26 when it is only an incremental upgrade over what I already have?

Yoir claim that someone needs to buy a new device every year sounds completely stupid. Maybe if yoi stop buying those boring iPhone, you wouldn't need to keep buying the new one. It is not my fault the iPhone is outdated as soon as it hits the shelf.

Outdated means no longer current, modern, useful, or fashionable because newer and better alternatives exist.

The S26 is just new, it isn't a better alternative to the S25. It is only obsolete when it is nonlonger getting updates and my apps require a version of Android my phone wont be getting.

Oh and you not on any high level. You're so outdated because you still buying a phone every year because you cant be content and rather waste money to buy the same thing over and over.
