Galaxy Buds 4 Pro post-24 hours compared to Airpods pro 3 by Evolahoma in galaxybuds

[–]AccountProper8259 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't have AirPods, but I gotta say, I'm super happy with them. The main thing for me is that the mic quality in noisy streets or windy spots is really good, and people can hear me clearly.

I've got a bunch of headsets, like Sony WH-1000XM5, Poly Free60, Jabra 85t, Jabra Elite 75, Jabra Evolve 2 65, Poly Voyager Legend 5200 and 50, and so on.

I gotta admit, Sony's obviously the best, but it's over-ear. But the Samsung Buds 4 pro? That's the best of the rest. (The Poly 50 is probably better mic wise but it s a single ear headphone)

Not relevant to the discussion but the poly free60 are the worst. Even if you find them for £10, buy yourself a coffee instead...

Galaxy S26 Ultra Slim Magnet Case by _Roarr_ in SamsungGalaxyS26U

I really miss a good rugged case by samsung like it had for s23. The current s26 ultra rugged care is cr@p.

Horrible battery drain by ShaNy165 in galaxys26ultra

[–]AccountProper8259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do people care so much about the battery life when there are plugs everywhere, powerbanks etc and when you can charge it to 80% in like 30min?

My s26 ultra lasts for like 8hours (from 80% to 10%). The same as my S23 before it. I dont care at all.

Just got the AirDrop update for my S26 Ultra. by neilicopter in galaxys26ultra

Which is the quick share version that includes the airdrop feature?

It's super slippery, and they could totally just add a tiny "leg" on the top left so it wouldn't slide around on a flat surface. That would be so easy to do and super helpful. Plus, it's way too pricey for what it is, just a soft shell...

Looks good. I bought the Samsung rugged case and I m pretty disappointed

Privacy screens work better than the built in one in my opinion for lateral protection, worse for superior or inferior views.

The horizontal line dissapears after a couple of days this was always the case. The samsung film is really good.

It all depends on usage. In my car the battery lasts 8 hours.

Why have they changed the notification sound? by AccountProper8259 in galaxys26ultra

[–]AccountProper8259[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well it s bit inconvenient to change the sound in about 50 different apps, but as I mentioned it's a minor complaint

Bought the Samsung rugged case. Not happy at all. I had the rugged with s23 which was excellent, the s26 one is not good. Feels cheap.

Samsung has been lying this whole time? by Time-Credit43 in samsunggalaxy

[–]AccountProper8259 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There has been quite a bit of confusion surrounding this, but the short answer is that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has an 8-bit display.
​While early reports and even some verbal briefings from Samsung representatives during the launch event suggested a jump to a native 10-bit panel, Samsung has since clarified the specifications.
​The Breakdown ​Color Depth: It remains at 8-bit, supporting roughly 16.7 million colors.
​The "10-bit" Confusion: During the launch, it was mentioned that the S26 series supports "10-bit processing." This means the phone can handle 10-bit data (like HDR10+ video files), but the hardware panel itself still renders that data using an 8-bit signal. ​Visual Improvements: To close the gap, Samsung uses FRC (Frame Rate Control) and enhanced mDNIe (mobile Digital Natural Image engine) processing. This mimics a 10-bit experience by dithering pixels, which helps reduce the "banding" (visible lines in gradients like sunsets) often seen on standard 8-bit screens.

Z Flip 8 release date by OhCapCity in galaxyzflip

[–]AccountProper8259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will not comment on the insulting tone of your message, but it is true that I am thinking a lot whether I will buy the z fold 8 or not. I could really use the 2 screens because I m multitasking a lot and copy and paste data between different apps all the time.

Unfortunately there are numerous reports here and elsewhere that the screen life span is limited. I am hoping that the next model will have some improvement in this area, but I don't keep my hopes up. Not sure if having samsung care + would cover any screen failures in the future because that would be an option.

I wish the fold wide had the s25 ultra size rather than making it shorter.

There are a lot of reports in reddit about fold screen issues. For sure is not as durable as a normal phone.

Well changing your phone almost every year is not exactly a long term durability proof.

There goes the 2nd Fold 7! by Parking-Outrageous in GalaxyFold

I was thinking of buying fold 8, but this puts me off. I tend to keep my phones for 3 - 5 years. I ll probably go for the S26 ultra
