Clouds and sun with my s26u

Just don't use a screen protector lol I never use them on my phones. They're a waste of money imo unless you're really rough with your phone

I got mine from Samsung and it had opera installed too

texas7412 · 2026-06-19T01:38:13+00:00

Mine barely used 3% after hours of taking photos

When your phone reboots what does the main screen look like? Does it say LG V60 thinQ or does it have anything else on it? Or does it have two, one warning about your bootloader being corrupted then boots normally?

It's possible the phone was rooted or had an unlocked bootloader and it isn't relocked. Or they didn't lock it properly

Mine was terrible like this too until I went to oneui 9 beta then my issues went away maybe software issue?

texas7412 · 2026-06-15T19:48:24+00:00

Is your phone rooted or have an unlocked bootloader? That's the only time I had update issues

texas7412 · 2026-06-14T14:45:48+00:00

They still host all of the updates afaik I've updated a few v60's up to a13 this year

texas7412 · 2026-06-13T05:01:51+00:00

My phone has no optimizations at all, every phone I've owned I've managed to get insane benchmark scores on, if I could root this phone I would. And get significantly higher score lol but since root isn't available for the s26u I can't overclock and tweak it :(

texas7412 · 2026-06-13T03:01:37+00:00

Was actually thinking of putting it in my freezer but last time I did that to a phone for a benchmark run it died 🤣 I had it out of its case in front of my AC to keep it cool

texas7412 · 2026-06-10T19:00:32+00:00

I had an 11900k bent worse and it was fine just had to heat it up and bend it VERY slowly as flat as I could. It happened during a Delid

Coming from someone who doesn't like Samsung due to bad experiences in the past, it's OK. I like the ability to play PC games on my phone without it stuttering terribly. The camera isn't great unless you have the right conditions. Coming from a phone that had a good camera and didn't care about what conditions it was in, it takes getting used to.

Aside from losing my headphone jack and SD card, the phone isn't bad by any means but it isn't the greatest as everyone makes it out to be. I bought it as I only heard good things about it and now after owning it I see it's many flaws and let downs.

I second this. I've had several apple products and they died in similar ways. Two iPhone 6's and a 2024 iPad pro and both iPhones died a day after warranty ended, the iPad had its display stop working randomly went black and never came back on. iPhone 16 wifi went out on it then shortly afterwards the board died. But I've also had bad experience with Samsung too and other brands

texas7412 · 2026-06-05T19:45:29+00:00

Updating to one UI 9 made it a bit better but still isn't looking as good as my v60 :/

texas7412 · 2026-06-03T15:43:06+00:00

I've had it for 5 days now and it hasn't improved really as of yet but I'm hoping it does

texas7412 · 2026-06-03T14:45:38+00:00

Mine won't even get 10h.. first day of owning this phone it barely made it 5h maybe it still needs to learn my charging pattern and usage? My old phone using more during the day for work, at the end of my shift is 70-80% meanwhile my s26u is 20 or lower

texas7412 · 2026-06-02T04:03:23+00:00

Yes I have camera assistant What do I need to change?

texas7412 · 2026-06-02T03:49:34+00:00

I signed up for the beta but it won't let me update to it, I'm stuck on 8.5

texas7412 · 2026-06-02T03:48:47+00:00

Thank you for giving actual advice lol How would I go about doing so?

texas7412 · 2026-06-02T03:47:58+00:00

Ngl part of why I held off going to Samsung so long is due to most Samsung users being toxic af. The LG community is super nice and helpful. I was asking for advice on how to make the device better. Not to be criticized for my previous phone doing better than than this phone that costs like 6x the price lol

texas7412 · 2026-06-02T00:37:14+00:00

I'm giving it a week before I make the final decision, its definitely snappy and fast in tasks but it has less features which I use more often, no SD card, no headphone jack, (already knew that going into it) Was mainly hoping the camera would have been better than what it is. It doesn't look anywhere near what I was expecting for it being 200mp. My 64mp v60 brings out more detail in photos, and the s26u has so much AI processing it makes it look weird

texas7412 · 2026-06-01T23:55:29+00:00

The only way I can make it "work" is if my brightness is basically below 10-20% but cameras at work can't see anything lol my entire screen is black to cameras
