Disappointed. The older phones are better, the s25 screen and also the s25 camera and also the s25 speakers are all a downgrade from my old s10e even though s10e is from 2020. The s10e has a 12mp rear camera but the s10e is still able to capture moving kids, moving pets or scenery from the window of a moving car more easily and without a blur, and s10e doesn't have aggressive over processing, so I can blow those s10e pictures up to 8x10 size for display in my home with no problem. The s25 phone has trouble with sunlight trickling through a window making it a bright stark streak where my old s10e was able to still capture the subject no problem and left the sunlight streak off to the side just as seen through the human eye. It's like art. The s25 ai or photo processing doesn't know what to do with certain normal everyday occurrences like a small streao of sunlight, or light from a pendant light overhead. This is all with the post processing setting turned to minimize since turning it completely off isn't an option. I don't want to open camera and mess with settings or apps to get a photo I want to open and snap a photo quickly and easily and move on with no editing. I am able to do this easily with my s10e and it makes a quality photo. The 5g drains too fast, vs 4g and there's no way to force "4g only" with my carrier. So I am returning and will be using my trusted s10e while looking for something else. I feel let down by Samsung. No SD card slot, no headphone jack, no plug, no innovation. Only moving backwards. Samsung is trying to be too much like the biggest main us comp. and not leaning enough into what makes it an android.

Hello Jaila, we appreciate you sharing your thoughts about your Samsung Galaxy S25 with us. We know how frustrating it is when you are no longer able to use a feature you have enjoyed or used previously. We recommend reaching out to the carrier directly to see if there has been something done on their end when you had your phone unlocked. We have also shared a link to the Samsung Support Team if you believe there may be a setting within the device itself causing this experience. We appreciate you being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth Samsung Support smsng.us/Samsung-Support Samsung Community smsng.us/Samsung-Community Facebook smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger X https://smsng.us/X-Messages

The Camera quality
on March 25, 2025
Posted by: Oaht
from Green Bay wisconsin
I purchased this phone not very long ago, only a few days ago. Everything with this phone was going great until last night. It needed a software update. So of course I installed the software update. As soon as the phone started back up it started automatically and randomly just whenever restarting the phone. I've looked up how to try and fix this and I've tried everything and nothing has worked. Returning this item.
