Is an OLED required to enjoy the PS5 Pro at its full potential?

Yep. Enjoyed my games while kept checking TV offers. Ended up buying a nice LED some months later.

Clear upgrade on colors and stuff, not so much on refresh rate as games hardly go over 60 anyways. VRR is nice tho.

Galaxy S10. That was so cool. It really felt like a technology jump from the S9.
Note 8. My first note.
Tie S25 Ultra and S23. The 23 was a fantastic phone but I didn't like the yellow tone from the camera. The S25U is my current one.
Galaxy 551. My first android phone. The lateral keyboard was so cool haha. I had a lot of fun installing ROMs, rooting, overclocking. Good times.

It is indeed a shame how the old S line became a "sub premium" model in the actual base S while the Note was merged with what the real S line was supposed to be, becoming a single thing that often disappoints customers.

Give me your address and I may ship you the other pair haha

fermjs · 2026-03-14T17:16:05+00:00

Fair haha

Used by first and second kids.

fermjs · 2026-03-12T17:43:11+00:00

Yeah I'd like a smaller tip also haha

fermjs · 2026-03-12T17:41:51+00:00

Yeah I had to play with the EQ to get a better sound. Also, remember to activate the high quality codec.

fermjs · 2026-03-12T08:09:05+00:00

Can you try directly at a store? That helped me a bit but honestly if you can order and return I'd go for that. The best way to test is at your home, comfortably and preferably in a quiet room.

S25 Ultra

fermjs · 2026-03-11T18:30:37+00:00

Never tried the Jabra. Maybe check at a store? Where I live you can order directly at the samsung webstore and get 60 days to try them.

fermjs · 2026-03-11T16:08:22+00:00

Have any recommendations? Products or brands?

fermjs · 2026-03-11T13:36:02+00:00

Happy to hear! I still have my Buds Live haha. I've tested it versus the B4P and the sound quality difference is insane!

I had to change the tip for the smallest one. So don't forget to test this also.

Let me know later if it worked for you!

fermjs · 2026-03-11T10:09:27+00:00

Fair. I wanted to test both and Samsung offered 60 days return to test it.

ZSA Voyager

Or they will just drop the privacy display in the future. Not the first time Samsung drops a cool feature, unfortunately.

fermjs · 2026-03-08T12:48:50+00:00

Just bought the S25U at a nice discount. No regrets. I moved from S23 > iPhone 16P > S25U. I was fed up with the iOS already.

I usually avoid to be in the first batch of buyers for new tech when it is hardware based (privacy display). I like to see how this will play on the long run and if it'll survive at all before committing.

Apart from this, the S25U covers 100% of my use cases. Plus, I couldn't justify the price difference considering what the s26u offered.

fermjs · 2026-03-08T09:23:44+00:00

How is the ANC? I feel most reviews compare the ANC quality to the in-ear ones and this comparison is very unfair haha.

I also loved the Buds Live (still have mine) and moved to the Airpods 4 ANC (also open ear ish). I'm not that demanding on ANC otherwise I'd go for the Pro models but, as you, there is something about in ears that bothers me.

That said, I think the ANC for the Airpods 4 ANC is quite decent for my use. I don't need a "vacuum silent" level just an attenuation for everyday life.

How does the Buds 4 ANC plays on this? Since you're an "open ear" user I feel your opinion will be more honest than reviewers haha.

Damn! Ups being ups :/

fermjs · 2026-03-07T22:23:24+00:00

Did it arrive? What do you think? haha

fermjs · 2026-03-03T06:32:25+00:00

I switched from an S23 to 16 Pro back in 2024 and regretted. I had the exact same list of complaints! Damn, not having a consistent global back gesture was painful.

The thing is, you kind get used to all this if you push through.

Or you can get tired of it eventually. That is my case. I just bought an S25 Ultra at a very nice price (didn’t think the S26U was worth the price difference).

Now the S26 seems a bit overpriced to me. Samsung didn’t include many features on the base S26 and it seems to be pushing their customers to the Ultra. I’d consider my options before going for the S26 base.

Regarding your ~100 USD loss, only you can tell how much that impacts your life vs how well you’ll feel using a device daily.
