I got my Buds2 Pro for $29 with my S24+ order. Quite happy with them and not looking to pony up for the new ones unless people rave like lunatics about major improvements

Nice. I love my 6 Classic but the Ultra does look great too. Will need to read more about it.
Ok, these AI updates are awesome. That new case for the Flip6 is also cool. I'm still sticking to my 2yr upgrade cycle. I can't wait to upgrade to the Flip7 and Watch8 Ultra. Although, Ib might grab the Buds3 Pro.
No thanks. If the screen got bigger on the S25 especially with the Pixel’s offering smaller screens then I would immediately discount it. It’s because have this mania for bigger screens that they are so few compact devices left for those of us not interested in screens the size of a TV set.
I am actually looking forward to a larger display on the S25 Ultra if that comes to pass.
I think i read that larger display phones outsell the smaller one ones by quite a large amount.
I am also interested in the iPhone 16 PM as the display is rumored to be 6.9 inches.
Yes- the larger ones outsell others 2:1 or better. I just can't deal with front pocket ops in the giant and pointy edged Ultra form factor
S24+ (and Pixel Pro) are just the right size in that department and have sufficient screen real estate for my non-gaming purposes.
I got my 24 ultra. God it feels good having an ultra sonic instant finger print reader. I hate face ID! Also nice that my Garmin can get richer notifications/responses/image previews. And Apple updating the APP2's for voice isolation on earphone means the one weakness the s24 ultra has for me - not having voice isolation over bluetooth - is a non issue!
The anti reflective coating too - makes it hard to even look at my 12 mini.

I switched from Ultra back to iPhone few months ago already, but damn now trying out iOS18 I am tempted to jump the ship once more, that thing is ugly as hell. I really wish I was free of the Apple Ecosystem..
Just checked and installing now on unlocked on Verizon.
I just ordered Buds3 Pro with $100 instant trade-in on AirPods (gen 1 that are close to dead) and extra $50 Samsung app discount).
I completely forgot to pre-order in the app
. With my Buds2 Pro trade in and "education" discount my cost was $118 all in. Had I used the app it would've been $80-ish. I contacted Samsung a couple days ago and they couldn't cancel my pre-order. Happens all the time with Samsung orders, I hate it. I thought about re-ordering and returning the original order but don't want to deal with the hassle. Live and learn!
I think you will still get the extra $50 credit kickback...I completely forgot to pre-order in the app
"For a limited time, reserve an upcoming Galaxy device(s) ("Eligible Device") on Samsung.com or the Shop Samsung App, and receive $50 credit (“Reservation Gift”) towards one (1) Eligible Device when you pre-order and purchase an Eligible Device on Samsung.com or the Shop Samsung App. Reservation Gift will be automatically applied when you use the same email address to reserve and pre-order the Eligible Device(s). Reservation Gift is non-transferable and limited to 1 per Qualifying Purchase; it will be applied to the first Eligible Device added to your cart; if that Eligible Device is later returned, then the Reservation Gift will be forfeited."
Have you guys in the US started getting you stuff yet? Here in Sweden people have been getting their watches since last week (3rd party) and this week straight from Samsung. Only the grey ones though white and silver are still missing in action.
