I’m thinking about buying the S24U at the end of November, but with the S25U coming in two months, should I just wait for that one instead? Not sure if the upgrades are worth the wait or if the S24U is good enough for now.
Have you thought about if the camera update and the new rounded corners are enough to make you wait? Also, there’s probably going to be a processor boost. Is that enough of a change for you?

Yeah, the new SD 8 Elite sounds good, and the display might get brighter. I don’t expect huge changes besides the camera improvements. I’d say if you can get a good deal on the 24U, go for it. If not, maybe wait for the 25U, especially if the night mode camera improves. The software is still hit or miss sometimes, but the hardware is solid.

That’s pretty much what I was thinking too. The 24U still has a great processor and camera, plus 7 years of software updates. So, not much of an upgrade to the 25U anyway. Thanks for the input!

I’ve never had a phone last 7 years, so not sure if that’s a big deal for me…
Maybe you should wait… and also work on writing more specific titles next time. Could help with better answers.
It really depends on the condition of your current phone. If it’s not too old, maybe you don’t need to upgrade yet. For example, I had the S23U for about 7 months and didn’t regret upgrading. But if your phone is from a few years ago, then maybe wait for the S25U. If you have something like an S22U or S23U, the S25U won’t be that much of an upgrade.

I’m using a Pixel 6 right now, and I got it about a year and a half ago. I’m just looking for a change, so that’s why I’m thinking of switching to Samsung.

If you’re looking to switch from Pixel to Samsung, I’d say wait for the S25U. It’ll be a better upgrade in the long run.
Sometimes you’ve just got to make your own decision and go with it.
I actually picked up the S24U, Galaxy Watch Ultra, and the Buds Pro 3 for $1530. It’s about the same price as the 512GB S24U by itself, so it was a pretty solid deal.
I’m just going to wait for the S25. Curious to see what changes they’ll make.
If you can find the S24U at a good price, then go for it. But if you don’t mind waiting for the S25U and the potential risk of it being a bit rough at launch, maybe hold off for the 25U.
Same here, waiting for the S25U. I’ve been using the S7 Edge since 2016, and while it was a great phone, it doesn’t support a lot of apps anymore.
You could wait to see if the S25U has any major updates. But if you find the S24U for a good price and like it, then just grab it. I’m still using my Note 10+ and it’s still going strong. Feels like it’s not getting old at all.
