Disappointed ex-iPhone user: S25 Ultra RAM situation might keep me away from Samsung

Long-time iPhone user here (had to use it for college group testing apps). After 10 years, I was finally excited to switch back to Android, and I've been eyeing Samsung's flagship line for the past 6 months. But seeing the news about the S25 Ultra potentially only offering 12GB RAM in the US while other regions get 16GB? That's a deal-breaker for me.

I'm planning to keep my next phone for 3-4 years, and I'm not willing to pay flagship prices for lower specs just because of regional differences. I'm now seriously considering the OnePlus 13 instead, or might wait to see what their Open lineup brings to the table.

It's frustrating because Samsung makes amazing phones, but decisions like this could really hurt them, especially with potential customers like me who are finally ready to switch from iPhone. What do you all think? Anyone else reconsidering their upgrade plans because of this?

Edit: Does anyone have experience with recent OnePlus phones? Would love some input from current users.
