I’ve had the Galaxy S25 Ultra for a few weeks now, and I’ve been asking myself an important question: Should someone upgrade to this from the Galaxy S24 Ultra or Galaxy S23 Ultra?

Why samsung made all phones s series same there is no difference in the design
Im on contract samsung s23 ultra away from and i have still got 8 9 payments left the cops( pigs)took away for case its finished the case them bastards havent still given my phone back 😡 i loved s23 ultra im using my old broken s10 edge thats cracked up for last 6 7 months
wanna buy a used s23 ultra. how is the sot for this phone in september 2025?
Am using s10plus, give me best of which ultra to buy,s23ultra s24ultra,s25ultra thanks
For someone who have s24 ultra, how was the battery?
Upgrading from s9+ to S25 ultra. Im happy i held on. My S9+ have started restarting and turning off by its own
I actually own an S25 Ultra but I am looking to get a brand new S23 Ultra lol. I miss them curved screens bad.
The only problem with s 13 ultra is the heat 😢😢😢
S22 ultra still strong but for some reason i want a new phone? But this helps a lot thank you
I want to upgrade.. but i don't see any reason to upgrade.. hmmm
I love the boxy design of s23u n s24u ⤠s25u doesn't look boxy.
I for one do use the S23 Ultra X10 lens optical zoom quite often. I will miss it if I upgrade unless the cropping will give me the same quality.
Samsung is good brand but problem is no app lock feature
I love my S23 ultra
But the colours and contras are worse on S24 ultra and S25 ultra, than those on the S23 ultra
I have the s22 ultra….which phone should I upgrade too?
I have 24 ultra but just want to upgrade cause running out of storage
I upgraded from the S21 Ultra to the S25 Ultra! I'm so glad that I did. It's a phenomenal device!ðŸ‘ðŸ¾
lol s25 didn't look premium. S24 Ultra is. Bad review.
So, despite claiming I would keep my S23 Ultra for another year due to some lacklustre changes. I decided to go for it. Got a cracking deal on a brand new and sealed box S25 Ultra. For similar money to refurbished ones.
Only had it a few hours and immediately notice a huge difference holding it in comparison to the S23 Ultra. Haven't yet tried out many of the software upgrades. But I do feel the time was right to change. I always sell my old phone straight after the purchase of a new one. And that virtually makes the new purchase 50% less. It's a win-win. Can't complain. I wouldn't dream about paying full cost or buying at launch. Though, this is definitely earlier in the year than I would normally do the switch.
All in all. Of the little I've learned so far from this latest phone, I would highly recommend anyone with a S23 Ultra to consider the upgrade. Besides: Your old phone is depreciating just as fast (if not faster) than the new models.
You just need to be patient. Do some serious digging. Find that bargain too-good-to-miss price point. Do it. No regrets. ✊
You guys would have waited for one ui 7 to drop on all before making this
My brand new s23 528gb ultra is cominng in the mail tomorrow. Im coming from a S10+ 128gb. Got it for a great price. I feel like im pretty much getting a s25😅.
Upgrading s23 ultra after all updates are done and Android 17
Crying as I broke the screen on s23. Not much of an upgrade between that and the 24/25 but not worth repairing the screen on the s23 either
Im on my S10…happy with it and really not sure what was better since the S20….so now the S25 is out im looking at the S23 and seeing how much different it is compared to S25 as i can get a refurbished S23 for £360…compared to S25 at £1500
I use the 10x zoom all the time
Whi uses there phine for gaming? If i want to game on something mobile at least use a tablet lol. Kust got the s23Ultra for 400 from a friend and bot feeling like trading it in for the s25. And i love spen bluetooth for remote. 😅 thanks for the vid.
I just got the s24 ultra coming from the note 20 ultra, they tried to trick me into getting the new s25 like I hadn't done my research 😅
If i wanted round edges id of bought a bloody iphone! Come on samsung what are you doing? Not only that the colors are boring, the green S23u looks slick the s25 they all look the same.
Ill keep my S23u
Hello! Should i go for the S24 ultra or the S25 ultra from my S10+? 😂
I think it's time for a change since my phone is 4-5 years old…
Thank you!
Great video with very sensible points totally agree ðŸ‘ðŸ¿
Thank for the video. I jumped from S23 Ultra to S25 Ultra and lost two specs: Bluetooth Pen was gone and no way to get a Samsung Clear View Wallet Case. So, I had to make a backmove to S24 Ultra. For me, buying S25 Ultra was not happy.
I'm waiting for s27 ultra 😊 , watching from my Samsung s23ultra😊 💪
I expect S23U users to keep their phones for ~4 years and S24&25 users to keep theirs for ~5 years, that's my plan. That's the plan of OEM's now, too: incremental upgrades, work on the ecosystem to keep users and make the features accessible and UE enjoyable. I went from an S22U to s25U and it wasn't extremely necessary, but the UE is nicer, in part cause of Google Home integration into the menu. I'd buy a galaxy tab in a heartbeat if the keyboard had a battery so it could BT pair and add to the device's battery life. Or a Galaxy Book if they had AMD CPU's in them.
I upgraded to 24 ultra and i can clearly notice a difference. It feels newer
My s23 ultra screen broke fully yesterday and I'm seriously just thinking of fixing the screen and not getting a new one, I mean here we're lost between upgrades and downgrades. The only phone with a stylus lost bt connection, talk about senseless. I have a feeling next one will charge extra for stylus 🙄
