The common opinion about these companies is that it works, so people buy it, and it has nothing to do with whether it is good or profitable for the buyer.
It's the same in the automotive industry, brand recognition always comes first, which creates a snowball effect.

The Ultra will get a new screen, and the base model will get more battery capacity.
Now we have listed all the parameters that smartphones have.
It seems to me that it can change no less than between VIVO X200 Pro and VIVO X300 Pro.

You just made a survey asking if people want the magnets in the phone and only 26% actually wanted them. How is it a sought after feature lol when your own survey says it isnt

It's irrelevant, the only people this will affect are tech YouTubers. Literally nobody else is insane / dumb enough to use a phone without a case on it. There are so many cases for the S25 (which is in itself Qi2 compliant) that have magnets there's a good chance most people would have one with magnets by accident, it will be the same this year.

Magnets are not the be all and end all. The Chinese makers would all be on that boat if they were. Nothing a magnetic case can't sort.
So sad no magnets... At least the Ultra remain interesting with the privacy screen+anti glare with stylus and fine cameras but it definitely needs a big battery tech upgrade.
