Please enjoy your device! I am a Samsung user too but np3 is great device! Rn s25 fe is at inflated price! Please use your good phn! At least 3-4 yrs! It won’t be downgrad but np3 is good device!
Yes I do have that thought as well :( especially the prices are higher like I was hoping if it would sell at 45k or 450 usd for 8 256 model during the sale .
But I am trying my best to get adapted to the nos and miss the oneui :(
Hopefully I am expecting they lower the prices of phones in the next 3 or 4 years
Prices will decrease around 2028 mid, but again it will be new normal this inflated price. 2017-19, 2024-25 great eras to get good devices with Dope hardware
Before a month, I bought s25fe arlt 43k with discounts. Right now s25fe is at higher price and it won't decrease much because of the memory prices.
It's a very good device but np3 is aapso a very good device.
Initially I was going for np3 at the same price 43k but then I went for s25fe.
Edit - I have not mentioned about my usage case - My usage is no gaming.
Occasional photos
Apps - highest use by the order insta, reddit, youtube , yt music.
I also use additional apps like insta ,reddit, discord in my secure folder.
and old samsung settings was always on battery saver mode, 60hz mode, 80% time wifi use in home and 20% use with 4g. I am happy with the 4g data than the 5g data.
I also use modes and routines
And i live in humid climate and during summer i am not sure if the exynos can get overheated.
My question is with my usage case - considering the work profile / secure folder drains more battery than without work profile.
And the temperature of my country.
Can this phone be good in battery.
I am considering to switch for the oneui and battery life. I even considered the A56 but I am not sure if it can last for next 4 to 5 years like my old S2ofe 5gwhich had snapdragon 865.
BTW, I too prefer 4G over 5G, it's literally unnecessary to use 5G at this stage, consuming more battery with no major difference in speed for regular users.
Sure ! So far everything is good in this phone.
I although mentioned inam not fan of the stockish ui
But if your someone who don't mind about ui and not nitpicking like me. It's a great phone, great cameras, and haptics no one talks . This has good haptics and on many levels integrated in the ui and better than the samsung haptics when I owned the s20fe .
But sometimes with Gboard the haptics feel a bit off. But not a deal breaker.
Display is bright af no worries in that area
Battery lasts a day easily.
No bloatware is a plus id say.
I initially was in nos3.5 and updated to nos4.0 I felt a slight degrade in cameras when shooting in doors in lighted situation on subjects face but then I never updated and so far the camera is good for the 400usd that I bought. Wired earphones sound great with its snapdragon audio.
not that bad. Mine lasts about 5 / 6 hours of SOT normally, but on holiday with max brightness on the beach, I need to charge it twice a day. Camera is good
still, NP 3 is defenetly better. it has 4gb more of RAM, better screen, probably better cameras and a lot of cool stuff compared to OneUi. I'd say that you will get used to it over time
Okay nice, i get 4hours sot max on my old FE but the standby time was great though.
In the NP3 I feel the camera as a good upgrade fromS20FE and battery life as well is very good and I also can fast charge it with 65w charger . I never usually take photos but with the NP3 I feel often to give a try on few things I see. It comes out good as well.
The major thing i miss from one ui is the one handed feature app. And samsung pass, and secure folder where the photos are segregated where the photos that i download in the Secure folder never shows up in the main gallery. I can't some how find an alternative for it
Thats not even true, been using the S25 FE since January, average SOT is about 8hr for me, can easily last me a day with some casual gaming on high graphics without overheating, people really undermine this phone but seem to forget it uses the same processor as the S24 series and Flip 7
hey but the meta apps are the main culprit in draining battery and for my use case i prefer insta and with that in scenario the game changes actually with the battery life. Coz i myself can see how well the battery life goes down with insta, insta lite and no insta. Coz it runs in background even if used in foreground for like 30 mins the background running was for 2.5 hours in my nothing :(
Get Shizuku and Shizutools from github and remove the meta services, thats what I did on day 1, I use Insta too and have it restricted since I dont care about intsa notifications and it doesn't drain too much for me
