r/S25Ultra

Hello all. Just wish to let everyone be awared. Am a S25 Ultra user from Singapore 🇸🇬. Earlier about 2 hours ago (today May 11th) I recvd the One UI 8.5 update. Installed it, size about 5gb. But quite zippy. Haven't has got the opportunity, and time to explore.

i've noticed this for a while and after doing some research today, turns out it's a known hardware issue on the s25 ultra. while recording on the 0.6x camera, when i make a quick movement, the camera jitters and ruins the video but it's understandable since it doesn't have ois. my issue is, this happens with the 1x camera as well. I was recording and walking (at a normal pace so no sudden movements) and there was like a jitter/vibration in the video. I checked online and apparently it's a known hardware issue of the ois that affects quite a few people. (also, no, i have never dropped my phone so the magnets have not moved out of place due to shock) unfortunately, my 1yr warranty ended last month so I can't even give it for repair under that. only way to fix this is to open up the phone and swap out the ois but im guessing that will be very expensive without the warranty. would samsung consider giving a grace period on the warranty considering this is a known issue from their side or should I just save my money and stick with it?

I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz around Shizuku lately, especially since it’s not easily available on play store anymore.

So I want real opinions: Should we use Shizuku or not?

If YES — why? What real benefits does it offer day-to-day? Is it useful for normal users or only power users? Does it actually replace the need for root? Any must-have apps that depend on it?

If NO — why avoid it? Security or privacy concerns? Overhyped tool with limited real use?

Main concern: safety Is it safe on a primary phone with: banking apps 🏦 work apps 💼 payment apps 💳 Could it interfere with app safety policies

Would you trust it on your main phone or keep it on a secondary one?

Anyone noticed battery health drop since the 8.5 update? Mine has been 100% since new last February and since this update it's dropped 2% already !
