The Galaxy S25 Ultra, set to launch in a few days, has left many Android fans on the fence. There are some reasons why this phone might not be a worthy upgrade over the Galaxy S24 Ultra

    The specs tell the whole story.

    Under the hood, the Galaxy S25 Ultra boasts a 6. 9-inch screen, a faster chipset, and Qi2 for wireless charging.  The 50MP ultrawide camera is a big deal, but it is not a game changer.

    But it is not all rainbows and butterflies.

    The S Pen loses Bluetooth, and Air Gestures are gone, making the desktop mode less useful. The wireless charging tops out at 15W and the highest RAM capacity.

    New software, old software, who knows?

    Samsung is touting AI enhancements, but it's unclear if these are exclusive to the S25 Ultra or will be available on older models. Features like the Now Bar are already on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, and Google's AI improvements will likely reach other Android phones soon. This leaves many wondering if the S25 Ultra is worth the high price.

    Why not consider the S24 Ultra?

    The Galaxy S24 Ultra, which is almost as good as the S25 Ultra, might be a better option.  The S25 Ultra might not have what it takes to stand out in the market.

    The Galaxy AI is a big question mark.

    Samsung is promoting the Galaxy AI as a major selling point, but it's uncertain if these features will be exclusive to the S25 Ultra. With the Galaxy A35 offering some of these features at a much lower price, the S25 Ultra might not be the best choice for everyone. The S25 Ultra might have competition from models like the Galaxy A35, which offers similar features at a lower price.
