hello. This is Technologytodaynow. It’s been about two weeks since the Galaxy S25 series was released. Among them, the Galaxy S25 Ultra seems to be overwhelming in popularity.
Galaxy S25 Ultra Is Exploding in Popularity
Pre-reservation status
On the first day of pre-booking for the Galaxy S25 series, the model that received the most reservations appears to be the Ultra model. electronic According to newspaper reports, it accounted for 60% to 70% of all reservations. This ratio seems to be a more notable figure compared to last year’s Galaxy S24 series. Last year, the basic model recorded 19%, the Plus model recorded 21%, and the Ultra model recorded 60%, but this time, the reservation rate for the S25 Ultra appears to have increased further.
changes in price and specification
If you look at the reason why the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s popularity has increased, the price has been frozen, allowing consumers to choose the Galaxy S25 Ultra for the same price as last year. In addition, while the S25 base and S25 Plus are not much different except for the RAM upgrade and the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the Ultra model has a big change in appearance due to the upgrade of the ultra-wide-angle camera sensor and the round-edge design, which makes it feel like a new product, I think these factors have further enhanced the purchasing appeal of the Ultra model.
SK Telecom pre-order and sales possibility
And only for SK Telecom, the pre-order size is said to be similar to that of the S24 series. Since the S24 series is expected to sell more than 40 million units for the first time in a long time, the S25 series can also expect good results.
Display Improvements
Lastly, the display problem that occurred in the Galaxy S24 series, the cold paper phenomenon, appears to have been improved in the S25. IT tipster Ice Universe reported on his Twitter that the Korean paper phenomenon, also known as grain phenomenon or particle phenomenon in foreign countries, that appeared at low brightness on the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s display has been improved. It is said that the S25 Ultra maintains uniform brightness even at low brightness, and the surface texture that looked rough like Korean paper is not easily visible.
In general, when users use their smartphones with the lights off in the room before going to sleep, they often set the display brightness to very low, and the Hanji phenomenon occurred in this situation. In the last S24 series, Samsung did not acknowledge this problem as a defect, but with the release of the improved S25 Ultra a year later, S24 users were left in a sad situation.
