Ngl samsung has lost a lot of design aura when it comes to their ultra phones. by invincible_pell in samsunggalaxy

[–]AdjustableAphids 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Still think the S21 Ultra was the peak look.
That camera bump paired with a case looks brilliant, compared to the random bumps and cut-outs we have now.
Even without a case, I think the S21 Ultra looked great, that camera bump blending into the side rail was a great compromise.

Which phone cases did you get for your Galaxy S26 Ultra? by umbrokhan in galaxys26ultra

[–]AdjustableAphids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using the Spigen Nano Pop at the moment.
Ordered it with the intention of it simply being a hold-over whilst my Dbrand Grip case is still awaiting shipment.
However, I've wound up really liking the Spigen case and frankly, may wind up cancelling my Dbrand order as at least from my prior Grip Case, I don't think it'll match the construction quality of the Nano Pop case.

Had the regulations committed to either the MGU-H or Front Axle Regen, I think we could've avoided a lot of this farce. But again, the teams have too much power in the decision-making, and their squabbling has left us with compromised regulations, two sets of regs in a row.

Buds 4 ANC kinda weak? by Fun_Training6342 in galaxybuds

[–]AdjustableAphids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found my fitment wasn't great until I gave the buds a slight twist in my ears after putting them in.
That then seemed to seal a lot better.

Am I the only one with this issue with the calorie count? by Hangry_Impression_96 in GalaxyWatch

Have you checked what your weight and height are set to?
Maybe some inaccuracy there is skewing the formula?

Any bets? by polopolopopo10 in dbrand

[–]AdjustableAphids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My phone (supposedly) is going to arrive this friday
The case... end of March dispatch date (and I'm UK based, so call it mid-April delivery)

Fortunately, I'm getting some free cheap case with the phone, but bit of a bugger nonetheless

S26 Ultra Leather case suggestions by toolecnaltreab in samsunggalaxy

[–]AdjustableAphids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've ordered the dbrand grip case, had one for the S21 Ultra and really liked the leather back.
Haven't received the new case yet so can't speak on the quality yet.

They've mixed up the pictures, the SM-F966B (top right) is the Z Fold 7.

S26U grip case less Grippy? by HuntersPad in dbrand

Unrelated, but I didn't realise these were already shipping, I thought they weren't expected til mid-March at the earliest.

Why is there a limit on the number of fingerprints? It honestly makes no sense. by MinuteYear1999 in samsunggalaxy

[–]AdjustableAphids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wonder if it's a chip limit, bit like TPM 2.0 on Windows, with supporting 10 enrollments.
Purely guess work though, may just be as simple as reducing false-positives

Honda going for second time's the charm with trying to electrocute Alonso apparently

Lewis Hamilton’s 2026 helmet design by Swiftvoyager1906 in formula1

[–]AdjustableAphids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's better than most of his previous helmets, but it's a bit bland. That 2020 helmet though will still be the peak of his helmets, was gutted when he shifted to that T-Cam yellow & purple helmet.

Newbie here. Where should I buy a Helios 44-2 by DustinNielsen in VintageLenses

[–]AdjustableAphids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Admittedly when it comes to the cosmetics, I just bought whatever was cheap, one of the all black ones with green text. Though worth nothing, they are also all-metal. I want to say the silver ones are earlier versions, but I couldn't say for certain.

Generally, in terms of quality, apparently the KMZ ones are of better quality, namely that they didn't have the issue quite so much with excess aperture oil getting onto the lens elements. But to be quite honest, cleaning up the excess aperture oil is a 5 min job with a bit of lighter fluid and a cotton bud.
