Did the Galaxy S25 meet your expectations?

Ilia Temelkov · 2025-01-23T15:53:59-06:00

After months of speculations and excited expectations, Samsung has finally announced the Galaxy S25 Series. Unlike other times, this year the Galaxy Unpacked barely had any surprises and the rumors weren’t the main reason for that. In fact, the Galaxy S25 range is among the smallest updates by Samsung, so the new devices are more of a cosmetic update with improved internals.Was the Galaxy Unpacked a disappointment for you? Did you expect to see something more innovative and different, or the steady, incremental rate of improvement is good enough for you? Do you think Samsung can keep getting away with this type of updates? Share your thoughts about the Galaxy Unpacked 2025!

The Bluetooth S-pen removal alone is enough for me to skip, I used it as a remote shutter all the time when doing photography, and while a lot of people might not notice, I really would, I mean in the past 6 months I have probably shot 12,000 images on my phone alone, and thousands of them have been long exposures, astro shots, timed photos at distance like wildlife etc.such a simple little feature.

Talk about penny pinching for a few $ for the module.

As an avid Samsung user for years, its disappointing to see much they follow apples drip feeing model, and hopefully people speak with their wallets.

This is bloat IMO. At least with the extra calendar, email, browser, etc. those have the potential to be used everyday. How often do you plan on getting in a car crash or being stranded w/o cell signal?

...

You’ll never know until it happens to you. One day you’ll be wishing they did include it, but hey, that will never happen to you right. It’s called peace of mind.

Futile comeback. That "peace of mind" is for individuals who are constantly putting themselves in that position (at least with the need for satellite calling). For the crash detection, again, how many accidents do you plan on getting in?
