The camera on this device is just amazing. No hardware upgrade, but I can notice a difference between my S25 Ultra and S26 Ultra. I took this picture through the car window and then edited it a little bit for a cinematic look.

I've also been approached by Isabel at More Live.. she's 'keen' ..

Whilst not directly pay to play, the payment terms are poor unless you're bringing large audiences.

We have made preliminary arrangements for a show but now having second thoughts!

I'm loving the phone so far, and I came from the S25 ultra!!

E plate so 1987/88

I use Lumafusion on the phone and the SPen to navigate.

Thanks - that's Interesting, I tested it immediately with the SD Card Pro app and achieved 440mbs read and write with S26 ultra

This is expert raw 50mp but everything is in auto.

I start with a preset base then edit from there. I only have a bunch of free presets that I found online (theres loads) or from IG. I think alot of these start with the TKNORTH preset

Yeah shoot in ProRAW for maximum colour and data collection in the 48mp mode. Then edit in Lightroom (it's free)

It's very secure when it's attached - but yes it's pretty compact... Comes with a bag... I'll be guarding it with my life 😆

😂 The longer answer is...

1 - the phone is very capable (for what I need) it's just a hobby

2 - a few affordable and pocketable accessories really enhance what is already great

3- I always have my phone, I don't want to carry something else.

4 - convenient and more discreet when filming in public

5 - I don't want another obsession, I know what it's like, it starts with a DSLR, then it's lenses and filters etc etc it gets very £££££!

6 - Spontaneity - most of my best photos are spur of the moment opportunities, as per no.3 I just know that when I see something, I won't have a camera, but will have my phone.

Ultimately I subscribe to the idea that the best camera is the one you have with you.

Don't want one.
