I have never owned a flagship phone before s26 ultra. The last samsung I used was Galaxy A70 which had really awesome and sweet display. But on s26 ultra especially at night when lights are off I notice the screen is a bit dim and during the day too I notice the same. Maybe it's a setting issue? But yeah the privacy display sort of compromised the display in my opinion.

Regardless, the display is still solid and I really love this phone. I don't regret buying it.

Hey peeps got my s26 ultra a few back and I'm in love with this beauty already! Need a sturdy case for the same which would help with the accidental falls cause it happens to me often lol...drop your recommendations plz! I'm looking at the torras q3 air atm!

Is there a case for s26 ultra similar to the sandstone case offered by one plus? Im trying to find something that's slim and has a decent grip.. the in-hand feel of the sandstone case by oneplus is something I love and am searching for something similar.

​Hey everyone,

​like many of you, I was getting intense eye strain and headaches after switching to the S26 Ultra. I tried many options and finally found some kind of "solution" or rather a workaround.

​Go to Settings - Display - Screen zoom and move the slider one notch to the right. This makes everything slightly bigger and forces a UI redraw. By using more pixels to render letters, the edges become thicker and smooth out the harsh micro-louver effect.

​If the basic Screen Zoom slider makes the UI look ridiculously huge and you feel like you are losing too much screen real estate, you can fine-tune it to the exact pixel:

in Developer Options, find the setting called Smallest width (I'm not sure for english name of that). I set mine to 364 dp — this hits the perfect sweet spot, giving you a UI size right between the default 2nd dot (~384 dp) and the larger 3rd dot (~360 dp) from the basic settings slider.

​Hope this helps!

Cheers

I was an iphone user for 8 years and came back to Android the choice was not easy I picked S26U although I liked the design aesthetic of pixel 10 pro xl a little bit more. But man! The way S26U has won me over. The absolute beast in any and every task, taking photos alongside my iPhone friends and seeing the clear difference (objectively better photos on Samsung)

However I just wanna know how do I maximize the device's overall life. It's in a Pitaka Case and a slim glass protector (I changed it from another glass protector which made it difficult to use the fingerprint sensor)

I'm so glad it decided to go back to Samsung. I love that you get to personalize everything down to the system fonts. Everything missing on other phones you will find it on the galaxy s26 Ultra. One thing I am unhappy about is them getting rid of the messages app.

Hello guys 👋, can someone recommend me a detailed guide on how to prevent screen burn? Thanks in advance!

So I absolutely love this phone. It's my first android ever. I've been within the apple ecosystem since my first phone. The only reason I want to switch back is because no one wants to text me anymore because im green. Ive been removed from family group chats, sister won't text me because she doesn't like seeing the green. The apple users are brain dead it feels

Which ePub reader do you recommend for reading ebooks?

Using the D-BRAND idiot proof screen protector:

its good and all but I feel like even with touch sensitivity on, the s26 ultra fingerprint scanner and the overall sensitivity on 8.5 ui is so slow and sluggish. It misreads 3/10 times sometimes and I have to go and "improve accuracy" a lot.

I do think screen privacy gets improved with a screen protector on but damn when the glass screen protector

Is off too it's so bad and slow compare to other models...

Yalls thought or am I just tripping ?

I'm really annoyed, everytime I'm going to take a picture I see the camera taking a jump between lenses and it's so fricking weird, I already turned that shii off on all the configs I could find but It doesn't stooppppp!

Tell me there's something I'm missing and theres a way to stop this, is so annoying really.

I already downloaded the camera assist and turned off the automatic lense change BUT IT DOESN'T STOPPPPPPP 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Hi, I've been on Samsung phones for many years and have used Folder Organizer as my launcher. It's long gone from the Playstore, but still worked beautifully on my S23 Ultra.

I just upgraded to S26 Ultra and Folder Organizer no longer works, so time to find a replacement.

Suggestions? I won't do Nova because of their ridiculous subscription model.

I just got the s26 ultra after having the s25 ultra and only trading it in for more memory I hate deleting and trying to see what I can save and don't. I been using the s26 and I don't like it at all, I always had a note since the 2nd and oh my God this phone it's just feels like any other phone even like an iPhone , it lost identity, the camera bump it's so bad , the round corners annoy me even the weight of the phone it's so off. Idk if anyone feeling the same way like me but I am debating so hard since I only paying $500 after trade in for 1tb. Samsung really letting me down 👎
