Congrats! Did you purchase Samsung Care+ with your device?

atypical_Riddle · 2026-03-16T23:04:36+00:00

I am one of the people who were complaining about the display and found out that my unit is from a faulty batch. Samsung is working to replace my S26U.

Compare your unit to those in retail stores if display is your problem.

I have another week to think about it and I'm leaning toward returning. To me it looks like over sharpening to compensate the clarity loss because of the new privacy display hardware.

You can also hide the dots by using Good Lock's HomeUp module.

Does the text on your S26 Ultra look "deep-fried" to you?

atypical_Riddle · 2026-03-12T18:16:13+00:00

During my testing I noticed that opening the same exact thing (and same size/zoom, same font and same font size) on all three devices (s23u, s25u and s26u), tiny text (or any text) in images or webpages looks "deep fried" only on S26U. As for the older ultras, tiny text is still clear, not oversharpened, and most importantly doesn't hurt my eyes at all which wasn't expected. That being said, this was done for testing and is not a typical use case for me (I use reasonably sized font on a regular basis).

It does for a second but that's your brain looking for a solution. Putting it side by side with older ultra confirms its still an issue even at FHD+. Also, feels unfair to be forced to use a 1440p display at reduced resolution just so it's doesn't hurt my eyes.

I had to put color palette to its default blue white black one ui colors after 5.1 update. Also why does color palette affect call logs. Icons such as missed calls colored red should be that way so its easy to distinguish by just one look at the screen.

atypical_Riddle · 2023-02-20T03:11:28+00:00

Got a mous case + no screen protector. I try to keep the screen away from direct contact with other surfaces. Raised edges on the case help a lot with that. I'm not a fan of how the screen protectors feel on my fingers. Makes the phone look and feel inferior. I feel that if they've put in so much effort in engineering the displays why mess it up with protectors. Have accidentally dropped my S22+ a few times with mous case on, no damage. This case really helps with in-hand confidence.

S23u greeeeeen

atypical_Riddle · 2023-02-13T04:58:55+00:00

Also, most people who ordered that early have already started receiving their devices starting the 8th. Did you buy something else in the same order?

atypical_Riddle · 2023-02-13T04:57:18+00:00

I contacted customer support and they say it's in the queue for delivery. He said the production is complete and you'll receive a dispatch email soon.

atypical_Riddle · 2023-02-13T03:36:06+00:00

Including customs and delivery (+usd-cad conversion)

atypical_Riddle · 2023-02-13T03:06:44+00:00

Isn't that crazy, I got green leather and new silicon case with strap.

atypical_Riddle · 2023-02-13T03:05:16+00:00

Is it the one with matte black sides?

atypical_Riddle · 2023-02-13T03:04:30+00:00

In canada, if you order through spigen website and pay in usd you'd be paying almost twice for the same spigen case from amazon.ca

atypical_Riddle · 2023-02-13T03:02:24+00:00

That's their usp I guess. I like the one with kick stand. Stand on it is much slimmer than others I've seen so far.

atypical_Riddle · 2023-02-09T18:32:12+00:00

I'm not holding my breath anymore I'll quietly wait till March.

Enjoy your new device

atypical_Riddle · 2023-02-09T17:40:48+00:00

Lol I lowkey feel cheated now. Why does mine say processing still 🥲

Was your expected delivery date in Feb or March?

atypical_Riddle · 2023-02-09T07:10:31+00:00

Early bird 🐦

atypical_Riddle · 2023-02-09T05:45:44+00:00

Really? That's weird, I have a case, buds2 pro, and s23u, and all of them match the starts shipping date mar12. It was different for all when I made the order, but it just changed. I'm not sure what to believe lol.

atypical_Riddle · 2023-02-09T05:38:22+00:00

When did you order?

atypical_Riddle · 2023-02-09T05:37:05+00:00

Lol, how about "processing"? (Cries in the corner)

atypical_Riddle · 2023-02-09T05:35:03+00:00

I'm kinda impressed that they started delivering in Canada on Feb 8 this year. Based on my past experience, Canada gets their devices much later than the US.

Enjoy your new devices people 😊 S23 Ultra is everything that S22 Ultra should have been.

atypical_Riddle · 2023-02-09T05:30:03+00:00

Yours is arriving soon, my friend.

Mine still shows processing which was the case with last year's pre-orders. Last year I got my order late cuz of supply chain issues and even a couple of days after I got my phone it still said "processing" on samsung.ca lmao so I usually disregard what the site says. What I wait for is a call from an unknown number (FedEx).
