I had replied to the post asking if the person should upgrade to S25 (from S22). Since that post is not marked as solution and still many friends are asking same, I have created short summary and here it goes.
I have S22 (because I always loved the compact form factor .. had S10e before that) and had purchased VIP pass thinking to upgrade.
I think this pretext adds credibility to my personal views. So without further ado..
For me, The Galaxy S25 is GOOD, but the Galaxy S22 is GOOD ENOUGH.
The S25 has its advantages, of course. It will be faster (with more RAM .. but for gaming users.. not me), has a slightly bigger battery (but AI will consume those extra 7-8% we are getting), and little brighter display (for extensive usage under direct sunlight.. again not me).
For S22, we still have 2 software updates in our kitty, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor is still more than capable and camera bump is much better + safer than S25 ring style.
Certainly I am not discouraging anyone of you if you are inclined to purchase but I know many who are on the fences and wanted to make informed decision - this post is for them.
Feel free to challenge my views with facts or encourage me (& my time) for post like this (with your comments, likes and share). Thanks for reading it till end. 🙏
It's nice that you're choosing not to upgrade especially when you're already happy with what you have. People just unnecessarily spend money just to show off that they have the latest model. It has to be worth the money you're paying especially when you're already having a device which works fine
These days there is a only minor changes in smartphones software as well as in hardware. Just look at the pixel series!
I also wanted to upgrade from my small compact s22 but I don't see any valid reason to upgrade. I mean software, hardware would be the same almost 99% similarities as compared to newer model, we are also getting same AI features also and we are promised to get android 15 and android 16.
In my opinion, by changing the battery, we can still use our s22 without any issue.
