Samsung’s Exynos 2700 push and One UI 8.5 fixes meet lingering criticism over flagship strategy

Samsung’s silicon roadmap is getting more ambitious, with reporting that the Exynos 2700 will use an improved version of Samsung’s 2nm node and could appear before the Galaxy S27 series in early 2027. The same report says Samsung is aiming to use Exynos 2700 in 50% of Galaxy S27 shipments, a move framed as a way to reduce reliance on Qualcomm’s pricier Snapdragon parts. fudzilla.com

At the software level, Samsung is pushing One UI 8.5 fixes and additions across the Galaxy lineup. The Galaxy S25 FE is set to get the “Improve Accuracy” fingerprint feature before other S25 models, and the same update fixes a DeX gaming bug that broke wireless controller analog sticks when the screen turned off. androidauthority.com androidauthority.com

But the company is still facing familiar criticism around its flagship phones. Samsung’s Galaxy S cameras are singled out in one report for drawing heavy criticism because the company has made relatively few hardware changes generation to generation, even as competitors have pushed harder on camera hardware. Another piece asks why Samsung won’t fix the Galaxy S, underscoring how persistent that complaint remains. androidauthority.com androidpolice.com

What does the basic Galaxy S even have to offer?

The Galaxy S's fall is reflected in Samsung's sales numbers. The Ultra dominates Samsung's sales numbers, taking the majority of sales in any given year. The Galaxy S and Plus split what remains, and the Plus tends to take a slight lead over the base model, though nowhere near the gap between those two models and the Ultra. It makes sense that most people opt for the Ultra. After all, if you want a flagship phone, you already want the best. So you opt for the best of the best — the Ultra. Because that's the sales hook for the Ultra: it's the biggest and the best. The Plus is the slightly cheap

Who needs a smartwatch?

As mentioned before, the Samsung Gear range was designed for fitness, and so its earbuds had a health tool: they could track a walk or run, and provide you with real-time data on your activity. For example, when running, a regular notification could let you know your duration, distance, heart rate, pace, or calories burned. You could also choose how regularly the guidance would be provided, either by distance or time. I'm sure it wouldn't exactly provide you with running watch levels of data; as far as I can tell, there's no built-in GPS, or even connected GPS if you're not running with your p

Which phone should you buy?

Does this mean we’re recommending the Nothing Phone 4a Pro over the Samsung Galaxy A57? Yes, but with the understanding most people will be more comfortable owning and using the Galaxy A57. To better explain, the Nothing Phone 4a Pro packs in a lot of features, but it does so with a far more challenging design and software that promotes individuality. Not everyone is going to want this from their $500 phone, and the safe Galaxy A57 will be far more appealing. We can’t ignore the pull of the Samsung brand either. Nothing is the challenger here, and fewer people will be comfortable buying a phon
