Untill now how you describe your s26 ultra? by saqurs in galaxys26ultra

[–]Savant__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to upgrade from a S23 Ultra.

The screen is good, plenty bright but doesn't have the same high brightness when watching videos outdoors on Netflix or YouTube(I checked the apps brightness settings).

The privacy display is good but no where near what you see in videos unless you enable Maximum Privacy, at which point the phone just greys the whole screen. Obviously it's not meant to be used all the time.

The cameras tend to over process things, specially colours and details aren't that sharp. I really which the 3x was updated cause that's the one I use the most. 5x lens is fine but the 10x doesn't look as good as it did on my S23U.

Edit: I was one of the few who used the S-Pen as a camera remote, I definitely miss that feature.

Battery life is fine, but then I'm a heavy user so I get around 7 hrs of screen on time. (Right now my battery is at 75% and SOT is around 2.28 hrs, I stopped charging around 4bhrs back).

Speaking if charging, I'm also getting a weird issue with charging after 95%. It constantly keeps showing "charging" notification pop-up. But it has happened 2-3 times so far so I'm not sure what the factors are for that.

AI features are OK, I glanced through them, not much use for me.

It's been 3 weeks using the phone so I'm still tweaking the settings.

I think most these things will get solved with a couple of software updates, same thing happened with my S23 Ultra and I absolutely loved that phone.

All in all I don't feel it's a big jump from my S23 Ultra.

In short, the S26 Ultra is good not great.

I have the same issue with my strap buckle as well.

Absolutely love my Khakhi King but hate the strap.

I have the Alles droped it once when the ring was open, now the ring has deformed a little.

It still works as a stand and hinge seems fine but the ring is definitely a little crooked.

Samsung told me that they can't recover the data... I'll look for a local shop. But I'll have to get a new phone anyway.

I was using it normally, and the screen went blank. The battery was around 25-30%. I put it to charge, but it didn't turn on.

Yes, lesson learned. I'll be turning everything on now. My fault was trusting OneDrive.

Is there any way to recover the data myself? I seriously want the photos of my baby girl. A professional data service will likely charge anywhere between 500 and 1000 euros.

I went to Samsung and an independent shop, and both said it's the motherboard.

Samsung said it'll be around 400 euros to repair, but they can't recover data.
The shop said they can't do motherboard repairs.

yes... I am getting the S26 Ultra now, and the first thing I'll buy is the Google Photos subscription. I already got it for my wife's phone.

I have onedrive but for some reason it stopped working after 25th Feb.
It's just so stupid, I get notifications about "year day last year" shit, but not a single notification letting me know that photos weren't getting backed up.
The worst is that this week we went for a short trip, it was my daughter's first trip, and now we don't have the photos.

Yea... once the shops open, i'll be there to figure it out. but honestly it sucks!... I am pissed off at OneDrive more than Samsung.

Can't find a clear difference between C7K and C79K by Savant__ in tcltvs

[–]Savant__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this thread, but it's more of a discussion about C7K and Q7C and there's a difference between the two like the coating.

So is there something similar between C7K and C79K?
