Samsung has offered few hardware upgrades for its Galaxy S phones over the years, and colleague Joe Maring took issue with this in a recent opinion article. We also included a poll in this article asking readers what they thought of Samsung’s strategy for its Galaxy S phones. More than half of all respondents (~56.2%) felt that Samsung was playing it too safe and that it needed to release more innovative Galaxy S phones. This is an understandable result, as phones like the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus have the same cameras and charging speeds as 2022’s Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus. Even the Galaxy S25 Ultra drip-feeds upgrades like camera hardware, while maintaining the same battery capacity as 2021’s Galaxy S21 Ultra.
