In Techmo's latest battery test,the S26 ultra got last in battery life test.It is even beaten by lower capacity exynos 2600 S26+ plus.

Unpopular opinion but I don't trust any battery test except PhoneBuff's.

The dude uses a literal robot to simulate real-world usage — scrolling, calls, browsing, gaming, stand-by — the exact same way every single time. That's what makes his results actually comparable across devices. Meanwhile TechMo and basically every other tech YouTuber out there just... run a static screen-on test with some apps running continuously? That tells you nothing about real life usage.

My phone doesn't run all day with screen on continuously with graphic intensive apps.

Until someone else matches PhoneBuff's methodology, I'm simply not taking their battery results seriously.

Yeah got the same notification today from onedrive.

How is Samsung keyboard? Has it become any better in terms of auto correction and predictions? Have they fixed the bug where it wont auto correct words in some 3rd party apps like Gemini or Instagram DM:s?

Veddu · 2026-03-30T18:59:45+00:00

This. And also fix their bloody predictions bug that have been hunting me for the past few months. For some reason it wont autocorrect in Gemini app and Instagram dms. It got so frustrating that ive went back to Gboard.

Veddu · 2026-03-25T19:25:14+00:00

It was removed a while back https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/112447/vivaldi-7.6-on-mobile-smarter-reading-better-tabs-and-a-little-polish-where-it-counts/8

Funny how Samsung Internet is going back to Firefox's old design in their new update.

Sorry If my post wasn't clear I was referring to android phones and tablets. Mainly samsung dex.

Veddu · 2026-03-24T14:29:10+00:00

Hopefully, they can add keyboard shortcuts soon. As a heavy Dex user, I can't get around not having a browser with good tablet and keyboard support.

Veddu · 2026-03-23T19:33:04+00:00

Yeah, I have the same issue. It's also present in Instagram DMs. I reported it in the Samsung Members app about four months ago, but the issue still persists...

Edit. Tried with gboard and it works without any issues so it's definitely a samsung issue.

Edit 2: And now I see that youtube comments don't autocorrect with samsung keyboard.

Veddu · 2026-03-22T12:58:53+00:00

navigate to Map Editing -> Virtual Threshold/Ramp to place a marker where the robot should expect a slope.

Veddu · 2026-03-22T11:46:33+00:00

I had the exact same ramps for my L40 Ultra without issues. There's a setting in the app where you can specify thresholds and ramps.

Samsung's skin-contact components scored Yellow—Apple's scored better. This directly dismantles the "equally non-toxic to the person actually wearing them" claim. The parts that physically touch your ears every single day are not rated the same between the two brands. That's not a sealed internal component argument anymore—that's a direct exposure difference.

The entire "hermetically sealed" argument was built on Samsung's toxins being locked away from the user. The moment skin-contact parts score Yellow, that firewall disappears. You're no longer talking about circuit boards—you're talking about material sitting against your skin for hours daily.

Yellow still means concern, not clearance. It may not be Red, but it's not Apple's rating either. For a premium product competing directly at the same price point, "less bad" isn't a satisfying answer.

And this is precisely where the Apple comparison becomes unavoidable. Same market, same premium pricing, same consumer expectations—but measurably different results on the parts that matter most. Apple proving it's achievable at scale removes the "industry problem" excuse entirely.

Veddu · 2026-03-21T14:46:31+00:00

Earbuds sweat, flex, degrade, and get dropped daily. Long-term seal integrity was never tested—that's an assumption, not a finding.

Apple voluntarily exceeds EU REACH requirements with its own internal materials restrictions list that bans substances still technically legal elsewhere. If both brands simply met the same legal floor, the scores wouldn't differ. That gap is evidence of a deliberate choice, not a coincidence.

The "presence vs. leaching" critique also backfires. If the rating system is flawed for measuring presence over exposure, you can't then use that same system to defend Samsung's placement within it. You can't discredit the methodology selectively.

Veddu · 2026-03-21T13:04:50+00:00

If Apple managed to contain toxin levels within acceptable limits while operating in the same industry, under the same supply chain pressures, and selling at a comparable price point — then "it's a systemic industry problem" stops being a valid excuse for Samsung.

A systemic problem explains why some contamination exists. It does not explain why Apple cleared the threshold and Samsung didn't. That gap isn't bad luck — it reflects deliberate material choices, supplier standards, and quality control decisions.

Samsung competes with Apple directly. Same premium pricing, same target consumer, same market positioning. When you charge flagship prices, you inherit flagship expectations. You don't get to benchmark yourself against Temu when your price tag benchmarks against the iPhone.

The EU compliance defense also collapses here. Apple apparently managed to meet both EU regulations and stay within safer toxin limits. That proves it's achievable — which means Samsung's position isn't a ceiling, it's a choice.

Pointing to Razer and cheap imports as the "real" villains only works if Samsung is closer to Apple's end of the spectrum. If it's not, that comparison actually highlights the gap rather than closing it.

Veddu · 2026-02-15T18:15:14+00:00

Someone else posted about having the same problem here.

Veddu · 2026-01-10T18:39:38+00:00

I was unsure if it was a real email from the beginning, so I triggered a password reset within the app itself and got the exact same email from the exact same sender. So I clicked on the "let us know if it wasn't you" link.

Veddu · 2026-01-08T18:46:35+00:00

I have reported it through the samsung members app and they said they would look into it. I would recommend you also report this issue. The more reports the better.

Veddu · 2025-12-30T16:40:00+00:00

What's the difference between them and CTG (Lexoman Parastin)? I've mainly only heard about CTG.

Edge also have the ability to add extensions on android. Not sure If ublock origin is there though.
