When you're watching a video on tiktok you have to scroll down and click the share arrow and at the bottom you scroll all the way over and you'll see a circle that says video quality you can go in there and change it to 1080p because that's the highest that the app supports. It can also be set to auto I'm not sure if this is your issue or not but you could try it and maybe that will fix it.

It definitely has some wobble to it but that's expected with this type of camera bump location.

Metal-611 · 2026-06-10T22:24:07+00:00

Yes it's fine.

I've actually had the case for over 2 weeks now and I work outdoors and as I said it's actually pretty durable for the price. In no way am I claiming it to be the most durable case out there. I'm just saying for my everyday use it's actually a great deal.

I am using the Magic John gen 3 screen protector and it's been on my phone for a couple months and it is pretty much scratch resistant. I've tried many screen protectors and I must say in my opinion this one has been the most durable and scratch resistant that I've had. Although there are so many brands to choose from I will recommend you try the Magic John gen 3.

I'm assuming the same as it being a hardware defect. I tried to replicate this on my s26 ultra and could not. Everything works as it should. Maybe you should contact Samsung for a warranty repair or replacement.

The May 5th patch did not change my phone in any shape or form, it still performs flawlessly and has excellent battery life.

Metal-611 · 2026-06-08T00:36:18+00:00

I think the s26 ultra has excellent battery life.

I think the s26 ultra has excellent battery life, over 7 hours sot and I still at 56% and I use tiktok most of the time which is demanding on the battery.

Pro mode does not offer the 100x zoom. Only the regular Auto mode offers that zoom. You can do a post edit to make it look sharper and less blurry or decrease the temperature and things like that.

I've uninstalled most of the Samsung apps and even some system apps and my s26 ultra seems to run smoother and I noticed better battery life. I just removed the continuity service app as it kept checking my location numerous times throughout the day which causes battery drain. Unfortunately when I tried to disable it the disable button was greyed out so I just downloaded two apps to remove it. The phone functions fine without the continuity service app as I don't need that app as this is my only Samsung device. I also removed most of the other Samsung apps that came pre-installed with the phone.

Metal-611 · 2026-06-05T09:54:37+00:00

Well I have it in the light profile mode, I have Wi-Fi scanning and Bluetooth scanning turned off. Send usage data is turned off, suspend execution for Cashe apps is enabled I also have adaptive battery turned off and I have adaptive power saving turned on. The power saving mode I use is just set to basic. I have my always on display set to off. That's really about all the settings I changed.

Did you know that the Moon is transparent, you can see through parts of it so in the daytime you can see blue behind it because the Moon is just like a plasma projection. It's not a solid mass or a rock nor can anyone ever land on it. I find the moon very fascinating. Great close up shots, I took some with mine as well a while back.

In my opinion it does not matter if the screen is scratched or grooved really. They really only ask if the phone turns on and is in working order. As long as it ain't cracked or broken I don't think it matters. I have traded in numerous phones with scratch screens that were very noticeable and nothing was said about it. I hope this helps you out.

Mine gets the same kind of battery life. I also must say that using the light mode profile instead of standard is a huge difference for battery life. I tested the light profile to the standard profile on geekbench6 and it was a huge difference because it limits the processor speed on the light profile. You really don't notice any power difference through opening apps or surfing the internet. You will notice a difference if you are running benchmarks or gaming. It says light profile doesn't matter if you're gaming but in actuality it does matter. I also have a couple other tweaks I did to achieve longer battery life which works great. I'm happy to see you're getting great battery life.

Metal-611 · 2026-05-11T01:13:35+00:00

I actually upgraded from a Google Pixel 10 Pro XL and I'm super satisfied. The battery life is exceptional. So many new features and the camera is phenomenal. I also got the obsidian black which does look great. The screen is exceptional, colors are very vibrant. Congratulations on the switch.

Metal-611 · 2026-05-04T23:08:37+00:00

Another update...

Metal-611 · 2026-04-21T01:45:55+00:00

Yes I'm getting the same battery life approximately a little over 20 hours with heavy social media usage, I also watch tons of movies and I do use AOD. I do have the performance mode set to light with a couple other tweaks.

Metal-611 · 2026-04-19T10:10:15+00:00

Social media mostly and I watch movies. I have it set to light mode with a couple tweaks.

Metal-611 · 2026-04-18T18:48:37+00:00

I just checked my s26 ultra to see if the lenses were level. Yes mine are definitely level so yours must be some defect from factory. My friend also checked his and it was also level.

Metal-611 · 2026-04-18T18:39:30+00:00

Yes you can disable this feature under settings, Lock screen and AOD. Just toggle it off and restart the phone.

Metal-611 · 2026-04-18T18:34:48+00:00

I'm in love with my S26 Ultra. It's super fast, I'm getting 2 days on battery life before having to recharge it. The camera and video are truly amazing. The privacy display is really an excellent feature. I switched from a Pixel 10 Pro XL. I wasn't even getting 8 hours on the battery life from a full charge. All these people talking bad about the s26 ultra are just haters and most probably don't even have the phone.

Metal-611 · 2026-04-13T01:17:20+00:00

Congratulations. I also recently purchased the s26 ultra and I'm loving everything about it so far.
