“Following Apple” and declining quality of flagships
Some users have accused Samsung of following Apple’s lead by “simplifying” its devices every year. Discussions often include the view that today’s flagships have lost the “best of the best” status they used to have.

The “Make Samsung Great Again”
campaign.
One of the posts on Reddit that gained popularity carried the headline “Make Samsung Great Again” and urged users to skip the current series of smartphones. The call was supported by many, arguing that only declining sales would force the company to reconsider. Users are also unhappy that every year Samsung, in their opinion, “repackages the same device.”

Emphasis on artificial intelligence over hardware improvements
Another widely discussed topic was the dominance of the artificial intelligence theme at the Galaxy S25 unveiling. The devices received deep integration with Google Gemini, but many said they were not interested in the feature. The prevalence of AI in the discussion was seen as an attempt to hide the lack of significant hardware enhancements.
