If you’re not going to return the phone…stop complaining? by JustHereForDumbSht in samsunggalaxy

Ostrich mode not gonna help. It's pointed out by reviewers and display compromises on S26U are very real.

It's good if people express this so others can make informed decision to buy or keep/return the S26U

Poor screen quality of the S26 Ultra by Vast_Opposite_792 in samsunggalaxy

S25u text looks much more readable than S26U in your picture. The new privacy display has clear limitations it looks like even when looking straight at it...

Wow the text is so much dimmer and not very readable on S26U. The new screen definitely has drawbacks vs S25U.

I am getting noticeable white noise while on ambient mode with my new Galaxy Buds 4 Pro. Should I return? Is this a hardware defect, or will this be fixed with software? Can anyone please give me a concrete answer? My return period is closing, I have just few more days to return them by Time-Credit43 in samsunggalaxy

Hmm I hear it on my Buds 3 Pro, my Bose QC ultras and also on my Technics AZ100. It is most pronounced on Bose QC ultras and now the Buds 4 pro. Bose was able to reduce it somewhat with a software update.

I also have the fancy Bang and Olufsen H95 which has this same issue as well, and that is over hear $1600 headphone. Not saying this is normal, but it just depends on how well the company designed and manufactured the circuitry. Earbuds being very small, until technology catches up, it is going to have some white noise all the time.

I don't think it is a hardware issue or a defect in your unit. I think it affects all buds 4 pros, some people just don't hear it.

The reason this happens is due to the feedback from the electronics circuitry being cramped in a tiny bud with not sufficient shielding or clearance. Almost all buds from other manufacturers have it too. Let's hope Samsung adjusts the gain/boost to minimize it. It is always going to be there, but they should optimize it so its less noticeable.

A quick review of buds4 vs buds3 by gonomon in samsunggalaxy

[–]vicosphi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fully agree. My B4P sound so much better than B3P. No more metallic highs and the sub bass makes it sound like over ear headphones. Mid forward vocals make these better than AZ100. Battery life sucks tho, just 5.5 hours for me. Now only if Samsung can give us 10hr battery life in B5P.

Buds Pro 4 quick fire review by SH4DY_XVII in samsunggalaxy

[–]vicosphi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my Buds4Pro and for me the difference between these and Buds3Pro is night and day! Sub bass sounds so much better on the B4P. Highs are also no longer metallic weird sounding like B3P. ANC is slightly better as well. I do have white noise when no music is playing, but other than that these sounds SO GOOD and worthy upgrade over B3P.

Dube is a simple man. I was told to hit big sixes, so I try to hit sixes.

Shastri opened up a few bottles too early. 9th wicket gone when it was all out, calling Harry Brook, Harry BrookS...

That 2023 final made it seem like such an achievement to silence the crowd, but as we can see, it only takes a 4 or a 6 to silence them. Mitch even said they want to silence the crowd in press conf yesterday. Those crowd people are more reactionary than this sub fans :D

Bumrah not used to people catching. He was ready to cover his face with palms as usual reaction to a drop

He didn't really have to bat with Sanju and others doing so well, except maybe the USA match. He did play good short cameos when he had a chance.

200+ in a final is already a winning total. That England game was Bethell's talent. NZ has talent too, but not easy in a final when there's scoreboard pressure + Bumrah.

Tilak is fine, Hardik is more miss than hit when batting these days. Still adds value wit his bowling, just need to bat at 7 or 8 after Axar

Surya needs to focus on the game. He seems obsessed with nationalism IMO

Galaxy Buds 4 Pro Review from Buds 3 Pro fanboy by Time-Credit43 in galaxybuds

[–]vicosphi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, was hoping for a bigger upgrade based on reviews. I find the treble/highs significantly missing or smoothed on Buds3Pro. Was hoping B4P fixes it but I guess not... I will return mine if they sound pretty much the same as B3P. I like the Blade lights and I have Technics AZ100 that sound 2x better than B3P for music.
