- MagSafe like compatibility

- Bigger battery better battery life on the S24 base model (am I the only who doesn't need a ultra?)

P.S.: I don't mind a thicker phone if you get rid of the camera bump a bigger battery

- MagSafe like compatibility (#1 desired feature)

- a dedicated physical finger print reader, either on the side or the back, is just way more reliable and accurate, it could have so many applications, such: Lock/unlock, scrolling, camera shutter and focus with a two step button, quick access/action, zoom in/out, maybe even a LED ring around it for notifications.

P.S.: I don't mind a thicker phone if you get rid of the camera bump and a bigger battery

  • Improve night-time/astro photography
  • Make it easier to use a side-grip tripod (button presses, anyone?)
  • Dedicated camera button or ability to reconfigure the buttons that there are
  • BATTERY LIFE
  • Improved charging, especially wireless charging
  • here's a hint - slower charging is OK IF and only IF I need to do it less often. I want a 36-hour full functioning run which Samsung has literally never delivered.
  • Improved thermal management - my S23 Ultra is on the verge of overheating more than I'd like
  • Removable microSD storage or more reasonable storage upgrade prices
  • Keep the S pen and add features. Remove it, and the entire device is dead to me. Yes, I was a Note early adopter also and really love the thing, I use it every single day.

I have been a launch day customer for many devices since the G1 in September 2008, but I am sitting out the S25 Ultra for now. I don't like the thinner bezels and think it might make the phone more fragile. And the prices are honestly INSANE. I need the 1 TB model but bought the 512 S23U because of price.

And really? people are getting excited over white, black, pale blue. and silver?? How about some REAL colors? Cobalt blue, safety orange, lime green, go crazy and make a fuschia or bright yellow. Cars and phones come in the most insanely boring monochrome "colors" these days and they wonder why we're not excited. Let me whip out my cobalt supercomputer, and you'll pry another couple hundred bucks out of me. LOL

One of the biggest issues smartphones have is that they’re already too good, so people rarely need a newer one for practical reasons. That’s especially true in the premium segment, in which devices hold up for years in terms of performance, photo quality, and even design. So, the smartphone companies are constantly thinking of new features that would make consumers buy a new phone.


The same goes for the upcoming Galaxy S25 Series. Coming after the fantastic and very successful Galaxy S24 will be a challenge for Samsung, but there are things that people wanted and haven’t received yet.


So, what are the things that would make you so happy that you’d buy a Galaxy S25? Is it more AI or a hardware improvement? Do you want a better camera, or an even brighter display? What about a more simple device that takes features out, instead of adding more? Share what you wish for below!

Hopefully to feature 6000 Mah battery

Swap all the cameras with the latest of Sony Lytia sensors, and MicroSD Express.


And stop looking at Apple!

Neither has any other OEM.


"I don't like the thinner bezels and think it might make the phone more fragile."


This makes absolutely no sense.

I am already looking to get the S25 Ultra already because, well, Samsung...I've missed having a Samsung for the past year (currently have the Pixel 8 Pro). Not sure what I like about Samsung, but I prefer it over others.

True fast charging and finally being able to take pictures of moving objects would make me buy the S25 Ultra.

Ever since the Note 20 Ultra, all the Ultra models have had a camera that can track movement and follow a subject so you can take a solid photo. On the Note 20 U, it was called Motion Photo. Another option is the tracking auto-focus. I believe this one was the most accurate.
