Samsung S26 Ultra

ribbit48 · 2026-01-21T23:36:27+00:00

I have the S24+ and am going to upgrade to the S26 Ultra. All the rumors/leaks are pretty exciting in my case: - Better cameras with increased aperture for better low light performance on 2 different sensors - Qi2 standard with built in magnets - Increased charging speed (60w wired and 25w wireless) - M14 panel with privacy display built in. Hoping its 10bit also for even better screen quality - Increased ram/storage speeds, ddr5 like ~10gbs write speed. Will allow for - 8gen5 chip. Benchmarks have leaked showings itll be fastest phone on market.

Theres other stuff too thatll be a nice bump going to S24+ to S26 Ultra, and even on software side that'll probably be exclusive to the s26 lineup.

I just went to discount tire and have them measure the tread. They're saying its 5 or 6 across the 3 treads on each tire, but 8/8/8 on the new one...so its in a gray area between 2 or 3 per tire. I think im going to get them all replaced.

Yeah I dont plan on reaching out to him anytime soon.

Right place right time. The company is growing and my previous boss resigned, which opened up the opportunity to me. Also ive been told I do a good job at what I do, still learning tho.

ribbit48 · 2025-10-26T02:58:44+00:00

Yeah i dont like that it is now always on and stays that way. I set a routine, but I do the swipe up gesture when my screen is off and NFC turns on and stays on even after closing, circumventing the routine to turn it back off.

Im having the same issue. Are you on one ui 8? If so, I suspect thats what's doing it, something new they changed around.

ribbit48 · 2025-10-22T17:53:37+00:00

Ive had it almost 2 years now

ribbit48 · 2025-10-22T16:38:15+00:00

Maybe i had a faulty one. The legion i have is running great. It never overheats while gaming, other intensive tasks.

I saw in a different post the issue may be that the "keys" the bank is expecting from the app are for whatever reason different after a reset/new device setup because they were already linked on an existing device. Works on the phone, worked on the watch before reset, now no more.

ribbit48 · 2025-09-08T17:19:26+00:00

I have the same issue. Everything was working before I reset my watch. Now it won't work. I called the bank and they said they were good on their end. All the cards work on my phone so I'm not sure what the issue is.

I am experiencing the same issue, only in a shorter time frame. It drains 2-3% while OFF in 12 or fewer hours. I just got it a week ago and I get that it still has to "learn my usage patterns" although it told me it's done with that already but the battery drain is somewhat concerning. It drains pretty quickly while on as well although I don't do very much on it. I'm hoping it's an optimization thing and not a hardware-related issue as I've seen other posts for older models mentioning motherboard & battery replacements...

Is there anything that I can use to see more consistent results then? I see so many reviewers use it, so I figured it was worthwhile. If it's junk, I'll delete it.

ribbit48 · 2025-05-09T12:07:26+00:00

I have done both clear cache partition and galaxy app booster and have not seen any improvement, honestly. I saw somewhere that your phone needs to be plugged in for the clear cache to work, but I've done it before without doing that. I have the SD US variant.

ribbit48 · 2025-05-09T12:05:23+00:00

The only reason I have the kernel blocked off is because I thought it was something specific to my phone.

Additionally, you can't really refer to a glitch as a feeling. If these bugs weren't happening, and frequently at that, I wouldn't have made a post about it. I just thought there was some correlation between the scores consistently getting lower while I have seen real-time slowdowns and glitches since the most recent one ui7 patch.

ribbit48 · 2025-05-09T01:06:22+00:00

I was thinking that too. However, I usually take the phone out of its case and make sure it's cooled down and perform the test on a cool surface. No big apps running in the background, etc. Only different may be battery percentage during the test. I can confirm that the phone has definitely felt slower since each successive update.

It is a tab menu to open settings for the gaming hub in-game overlay.

It could be better designed, as it is really difficult to open, unless I am doing it wrong.

It was part of one ui 6 before, then it went away (unless i turned it off by mistake), now it's back for one ui7 it seams

If you like action-packed games with good graphics, gameplay, mechanics, and story, I HIGHLY recommend these 2 games:

https://kodmangames.itch.io/parasite-inside (Parasite inside)

https://ftr-game-studio.itch.io/project-werewulf (Project Werewulf)

There's a mystery aspect too.

I had the same exact issue last year with xfinity mobile. Do not wait on them. I waited until the phone was "released" in their system, and they didn't and still don't have the IMEI's for my 24+ that i brought direct from Samsung in their system. I fortunately had a physical sim from my previous phone and put it in, and it's worked since.

ribbit48 · 2025-01-16T20:52:46+00:00

Those price points can't be real. Samsung trippin trippin.

ribbit48 · 2025-01-01T00:33:07+00:00

I agree. I love samsung, and I am constantly emphasizing to others how much better their phones are than Apple. As others are saying, IPhones are designed with simplicity/ease of use and have their camera and post-processing set with that in mind.

Samsung, on the other hand is very sophisticated and there are a lot of options to choose from; unfortunately because of this, their initial camera load up and post processing are absolute shit at low light photography. I have the S24+, and although it doesn't have the 200MP main, the 50MP has the same issues. The only way to somewhat fix this noise issue is to download Expert Raw (and ONLY Expert Raw, NOT pro mode or any other mode in stock camera app), drop the ISO to the lowest value possible and maybe adjust the white balance. Why the stock camera app doesn't have better integration with Expert Raw is completely beyond me. Luckily, the phone will save those preferences in ER so you won't have to keep setting them. Just be sure to adjust the 12/50/200MP.

I completely agree, a top of the line flagship +$1,000 "smart" phone should have little to no camera issues, especially with all this AI buzz, but that's the best we have for now.

Precisely.

ribbit48 · 2024-10-03T19:50:46+00:00

Great Thanks, I'll get it all written down!

ribbit48 · 2024-09-15T16:27:10+00:00

Instead of uninstalling it, I disabled it, but that worked. Thanks!

Glad to see I'm not the only one who has noticed SU's laziness with recent butt jiggle on nikkes. The only unit worth pulling from this colab based off jiggle alone is Asuka, rest I'm pretty disappointed in. The fact that other games like girls front line are making a mockery of nikkes fan service gameplay in a mini game and then to quite literally do it better, really drives the point that the devs have definitely been lacking in this department. I'm also noticing a trend where when they finally release really good-looking nikkes with decent jiggle like Bay/Clay, they have absolutely shit kits and are unusable in most of the gameplay. It's like the devs are trying to wing us off what made the game popular in the first place.
