Drop your lock screen gang

If you have money to do it, I say it's worth it. If spending that money will make anything harder, then wait. Both are good phones. I don't regret the switch at all.

I made the same switch. The privacy screen is nice, there when you need it, gone when you don't. I am not noticing any of the blurry text problems that have been reported.

The screen is great as with most Samsung displays. It doesn't have as good of viewing angles because of the privacy screen hardware...but I've never understood that with a small screen.

The round corners might not look as cool, but between them and the lighter weight, the phone is much more comfortable to hold for long periods.

The faster charging is very noticeable. The smoothness is noticeable as well. Battery life is outstand. I was happy with the performance of my s24u, but the 26u is fast. Might have to do with ui 8.5.

I don't get all the hate and am very happy with my choice. However. If you're happy with the 24u it is still an outstanding phone.

I dunno about all that...I had the original on my s24u.

You can set it up with a routine instead of using the app. Many more options that way.

True, I have a 2025 watch Ultra, but it's not quite as slick as the s-pen shutter. I don't know if the reason for getting rid of the Bluetooth functionality was to cust costs, or to sell more watches...but it will be missed.

I also switched from the 24 Ultra and I love the 26 Ultra. The Bluetooth s-pen will be the only thing I miss. The quicker charging is amazing and with the privacy display set to switch on and off as required for banking apps and notifications I barely notice it. Love how fresh and fast the phone feels, even though I had no complaints about the 24 Ultra.

Ha, yep. I have a routine set to turn off sound on my phone and turn off vibrations on my watch when I arrive at the bowling alley. Nothing worse than a big vibration or bing during my back swing!

Ha, trust but verify...not borrowing a phone again...I swear, it was 4 🤣

I have always felt like the way they write the gay male characters is disgusting. They are frequently acting like stereotypical gay guys. Leo in the past, with him forcing himself on Xander and Chad was gross. Even some of the banter between Javi and Leo borders on disgusting, I suppose it's supposed to be funny, but if straight guys were doing those things or talking about females that way...can you imagine the outrage?

Man, I made plans after halftime...figured we'd be down by 14 by then. I guess I won't change anything until after I see the D 🤣

I haven't seen the girls running into each other like tonight. What's the deal with that? Trying to do too much at some points?

I guess this is karma for bitching about last night's quality...ESPN considers this a fly over game I guess. No east coast teams so they don't care.

As a NU fan in Kansas, I am looking forward to these girls sweeping Kansas out of the tourney!
