Same as title
What's the point of this launch i don't understand. Not even extra upgrades.
The only change I can notice is Dimensity 9500s instead of dimensity 9500 WHICH IS A DOWNGRADE???
Oh one thing more: doesn't even have wireless charging

Snapdragon 888 and 8 gen 1 were the worst offenders but didn't mention them as they are pretty old now
Me and friends have/had phones with 7 gen 1, 6 gen 1 and 4 gen 2, all them showed overheating, battery draining and network issues just like Exynos
Technically they aren't Exynos but hypothetically they act like one as they are fabricated by Samsung foundry
Snapdragons are traditionally fabricated by TSMC
Just picked up the base Galaxy S25 for around 40k. I went with the Samsung-exclusive Coral Red color, but honestly, the real story is how I actually pulled off the exchange for my 4-year-old S22 Plus without it getting rejected on the spot.
My S22+ was basically a safety hazard at this point. It had survived falling off a speeding bike without a case and taking a direct drop from the first floor onto hard ground. Because of that, the metal frame had some insanely deep dents. On top of the crash damage, the battery was dropping 1-2% a minute, it was randomly shutting down, and the phone was literally reaching temps of more than 60 degrees Celsius.
I tried taking it to local offline shops first, but they either straight-up rejected it as a lost cause or offered me a laughably low scrap value. Even standard online exchange sites were lowballing it at around 10k max.
Here is how the math actually worked out to save it. The retail price on the Samsung site was 62k, but I used my student ID to snag a 5k student discount right out of the gate, bringing it down to 57k. And because Samsung had a massive upgrade bonus running, their site showed a 15k exchange value for my hometown, which jumped to a solid 17k if I selected a nearby bigger city. I decided to make the trip to secure that 40k final price, but there was one massive issue: because it was hitting 60+ degrees, the phone would overheat and shut down just sitting in the car.
To keep it alive for the journey and the actual diagnostic test, I had to pack a literal survival kit. I brought 4 thermos bottles completely filled with ice cubes, 2 regular water bottles, and 2 steel lotas. Because the battery drain was so severe, it had to be plugged into the car's charging port the whole drive, which obviously made the overheating even worse. So, I basically kept the phone fully covered in a makeshift ice bath while it was charging. I also knew my "heating counter" was extremely low once it was off the ice, so I researched the exact diagnostic app the delivery guys use and pre-installed it before he even arrived so we wouldn't waste time downloading it. Finally, I took a black permanent marker and colored in those deep corner dents before leaving the house to camouflage the crash damage.
The delivery guy had been dodging the pickup for two days, but I just stayed super patient and sweet-talked him. When we finally met up, I pulled the phone out of the ice. He ran the app, and the initial value popped up as a laughable ₹1,750. I politely asked him to try again. He ran the tests two more times, but the phone was off the ice now, spiking right back up toward that 60-degree mark, and it started failing.
Before it could completely shut down, I just took the phone from him and said "let me do it." I rushed through the tasks myself. It was getting so hot that it physically hurt my fingers to touch the screen while completing the tests on the diagnostic app. I somehow forced it through the final test, and then I quickly factory reset the device. When he asked why the phone was literally boiling, I just blamed it on the reset and the summer heat. Amazingly, it passed both the software test and the visual check.
It actually worked, and I got the full 17k exchange credit to stack with my 5k student discount. I was definitely relieved, but I also know that delivery guys can get their pay docked if the company flags a defective piece later. I didn't want him dealing with that just because of my broken phone, so I gave him my personal number and told him to call me if they deduct anything from his salary so I can pay him the difference. In the end I paid around 40450 rupees.
Edit- Please recommend me some good cases and tempered glass.

Hello Fellow Redditor I came to post this Question after having a lot of confusion and in this highly volatile Market it's hard to find the best one.
But I believe you guys are deep in the tech industry to give me solid advice. She has been using M30 since 2019. I once promised my Mother to give her a phone once I get a stable Job. Please help me find one.
Thanks in advance ❤️
I got this mobile in 2017 but it has got some problems including screen bleeding, battery drain and overheating, can it be repaired now?
Picture for reference. Planning to buy this for my samsung phone. Need reviews on this. I'm getting this for 1349 rs.
Just the other week I have recharged with 365 days plan and it's so slow that I am not even able to open a webpage properly.
3rd party speed test results are in kbps and when you try to raise the issue with in their myjio app, speed suddenly goes into hundreds of mbps.
I checked signal strength an it's around -91dBm. At the same location, airtel with poorer signal strength of -101dBm is giving me 100x better speed.
Just make sure it's not my handset, I tried in other phone, ans issue remains.
Also sometimes their jio app fails to perform the speed test with ping unsuccessful message and blames it on APN configuration, which is BTW configured just as they say.
If anyone have any idea how to fix this. Please help me out here. Since their own rep are useless.
I'm thinking to buy this one or is there any other which is better than this in 2k range?
Hello guys. Since the last 1 month or so I have been searching for a new mobile phone. I have had seen a plethora of review videos on YouTube as well as scrolled lengths on Reddit. I have finally made up my mind to get the x9 Pro and I'm sharing the price breakdown here for you guys to let me know if this is bang for bucks or should I wait for another 14 hours or so for the ultra to launch, hoping there will be a price cut on the previous x9 devices 😅 (not going to happen IMO, what i fear is, they would discontinue the x9 pro since it is not available in offline stores as well as on flipkart).
Here's the breakdown.
Base price : Rs. 110000/-
Welcome offer coupon: Rs. 3500/-
Savings through points : Rs. 9500/-
Credit Card discount : Rs. 7500/-
______________________________________________
Total : Rs. 89,500/-
Then, exchange estimate for S23 : Rs. 21890/-
Old device cashback : Rs. 8,000/-
New Device cashback : Rs. 3,000/-
______________________________________________
Total : 89500-21890-8000-3000 = Rs. 56,610/-
Now, given how notorious CASHIFY is, I'm expecting they would not give me the full amount for my Exchange. I'm expecting atleast 17-19k, my phone is in a flawless condition. That would mean I would roughly be paying 60k for the x9 pro.
Seeking fellow X9 and X9 pro users advice whether to pull the trigger or not. Thank you guys in advance.
