Poor "upgrade"

The phone overall has great physical features. The firmware software and UI are all trash, contant updates changes settings, I DO NOT WANT AI INTEGRATED INTERFACE GEMINI, , I DO NOT WANT TO KEEP CHANGING SETTINGS BACK TO MY PREFERENCES AFTER EVERY UPDATE,
Also getting rid of memory expansion and AUX port are really downgrades from even my most recent phone.
THIS PHONE IS NOT WORTH 800+.
Battery life is phenomenal, overheats easily especially inside a case, reasonable camera but software is lacking, the screen is the right size- I really prefer a device I can work in one hand,
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

After six years with the Samsung S9 and over three years of no software updates, an upgrade was overdue for security at the very least. The Snapdragon processing speed of the S25 is leaps and bounds over the S9's, running 5G in the wild and 6E at home. I do miss the edge display and rear-mounted health sensor on the S9, which probably will force me get a Samsung watch or equivalent for what I had as standard feature in the old phone. For the most part though, it is a positive upgrade.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had a Samsung Galaxy S9 that was still working but the battery wouldnt last all day. I decided to upgrade to a S25 and I am very pleased. I love my new phone. It was super easy to set up and I didn't have to go to my carrier's store to have them do it.

I found the screen size to small to use and returned the phone to Samsung.
