For a couple of years now, I’ve felt that Samsung has been frustratingly conservative with its high-end phones — and I’m not alone. This complacency reached a new low, however, with the Galaxy S25 series. Yes, there’s the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip across the board and a new ultrawide camera on the Ultra, but these are otherwise the same phones as last year. And those phones didn’t offer much over the Galaxy S23 series.
You only have to look at rival phones to see that Samsung is lagging behind the pack. This got me thinking, and I realized I wouldn’t even consider another Samsung flagship phone until it gets these features that have become standard in many other Android flagships.
