I like how all these updates improve the performance. By now an S24 should have the performance of an S25 before that starts its life of updates. All BS.

Hasn't that message been the same for years? Its the default update "change" message.

That's how it goes, they start on level field and then whoosh
 
I bought a galaxy watch 6 and it doesn't come with a charger. Just the cable.

Any suggestions for something affordable to buy? I guess no need for any fast charging required, but needs to take a USB C cable.

You don't have anything that it could plug into? I mean not even a plug?

The end is USB C, I don't have anything with a female USB except my S24's charger. At the moment I swap out, but that's not sustainable long term.

This is all you get

Can ger GAN ugreen charger one with 4 ports
Lol I want affordable.

That cable is also super short....not very practical at all. You like have to be on top of your plug point. And it not like you can swap for a longer cable, poor form from Samsung :(

Aaah that makes sense, there are chargers for like R120 on takealot they claim to be super chargers they aren't but they'll work.
Check this out on takealot: 25W USB-C Fast Charging Power Adapter – Phone Charger
Cheaper even
 
Streets say the S25 Ultra won't be a sharp rectangle anymore. That would suck
 
What's up with the Samsung Watch Ultra pricing in South Africa? R20k is crazy considering it's $650 in the US. (I couldn't find a thread for the Watch 7/Ultra).

I got my Watch 7 44mm yesterday.
Happy with it so far. Gave the Mrs my old Watch 4.

Do you run or bike? Want to get myself a Watch 7, but I need the GPS to be accurate for running and I'm seeing mixed reviews so far :(

No. I use it as a watch that gives me notifications and allows me to change my Spotify song without taking my phone out.
To me the GW7 is a lifestyle watch and I use it as such.
If you want the most accurate sports watch then you need to look for one for that purpose. If you want a watch that is going to run Google Wallet, track your movements (to the best of its capabilities - but not best in class) and integrate perfectly with your Samsung phone then I would suggest the GW7.

I have a Garmin Venu 2 currently. Looking for something with more smart functionalities and I want LTE so that I don't need to have my phone with me all the time (for hiking and such), but I want decent GPS accuracy as well...I don't think it's a big ask, Apple is able to do it.

What are your impressions of the battery life so far? Was hoping this generation would see a significant improvement in endurance compared to the Watch 6 and 5 range, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I don't want to have charge it every night :(
