Why did Samsung go ahead with this much cost cutting on Galaxy S25 Ultra
– Older gen display
– glued on camera rings
– SPen without bluetooth
– In-box cable that does not support Ultra fast chargingand many more..
Any theories for this??

Samsung is already testing prototypes of the Galaxy S26 Ultra, even though the Galaxy S25 Ultra has not been officially released in various markets yet. A surprising rumor claims that one prototype does not have any visible camera, suggesting Samsung aims to deliver a “full screen” experience without cutouts. The Galaxy S26 Ultra prototype likely uses under-display camera technology.
However, this version could be scrapped if image quality issues arise. Samsung has experience with this technology, as the current Galaxy Z Fold 6 has a 4MP under-display sensor. The main drawback is the compromise in image quality.
Do you think you can casually remove the camera rings on the S25 Ultra? 🤔

Testing under-display camera prototype
Many comparisons show that while this technology is interesting, it should not be implemented just for the “cool factor” if it delivers subpar imaging results. Apple has also tested this technology but has not used it in any iPhone lineup, probably for the same reasons.
Samsung likely has a regular Galaxy S26 Ultra prototype available for testing. This version is expected to end up in mass production due to fewer complications in making such a smartphone.

Samsung rarely wants to be the first to introduce new technologies and often waits for mass adoption before moving to something new to reduce costs.
However, this was not always the case. As there are not many updates available now, readers should treat this information with caution.
