Meh, the S series is like the iPhone same thing new year for several years now. Samsung and Apple's solutions later this year is the iPhone Air and the S25 Slim, because making them slightly thinner is apparently the rage.

Samsung at least has the Flip/Fold and the new tri-fold coming teased today, don't think I'll get it as I never get first gens of new tech but the Huawei tri-fold does look pretty awesome.

Upgrading every generation is kind of a waste. It’s hard to get excited about incremental performance improvements when they’re already fast.

AI is not the killer app quite yet. It might be in a few years.

Except in samsung's case since they're stingy on the length of time they will provide updates.

I preordered the S25 Ultra but I’m currently using an IPhone 13 Pro so it was worth the upgrade especially with the trade in value. If I was on a S23/24 I would not be upgrading
