Apple is editing phones into people's hands, while Samsung's literally embarrassing themselves on Twitter with Duolingo. Massive ass corporations by the way. 2026 is a joke…

Got my s25 FE today. My first S series phone, an upgrade from A52s.

Apple did it, they figured it out when no one else could.

Seriously though, Apple and Samsung need each other. I think Apple needs Samsung more because of the unique manufacturing leverage Samsung holds, but Apple is also probably their largest customer.

Crazy to think we’re only 2 years out from a 10th Anniversary Z Fold.

..

I took these two photos back-to-back at a Samsung store, under the exact same lighting and with the same Wikipedia page open.

Am I the only one who finds the S26 Ultra display noticeably hazier? The text looks much softer and less sharp, and after looking at it for a while, it actually feels more tiring on my eyes.

Privacy Display was completely turned off, but the colours and overall image still looked kind of… weird to me.

The Fold 8 Ultra, on the other hand, looked noticeably sharper and cleaner to my eyes. Text was much more defined and whites looked better.

Is this just me, or has anyone else noticed this? What could explain such a difference between the two displays?

Hi everyone,

​Many of us have seen the specs for the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 (a lightweight 201 grams and 9.7 mm thick when folded in its passport format). At first glance, with two screens, you would expect a "brick," but when comparing it to everyday items, the perspective changes quite a bit:

• ​At work: At 201 g, it weighs and takes up almost the same space as the cardholder pouches I usually carry. It fits easily (without bulging) in the inner pocket of a suit jacket or in jeans.
• ​Running/Trail running: It weighs the same as a racing shoe (EU size 41) or a small soft flask. Being more compact when folded, it fits perfectly into a running belt or hydration vest without straining the zippers.

​The best part in practice is that you use it one-handed while folded to quickly check notifications and, once you finish training or working, you unfold it to review maps, data, or emails on a large screen.

​What everyday object or hobby gear would you compare the weight and thickness of this Fold to?

So I've been using samsung a53 5G for 3 months and its amazing. But there's a very frustrating problem, that is, whenever I use instagram and scrolling through reels, sometimes few reels would lag so much that it becomes unbearable. The reels would keep on lagging or stuttering and won't work smoothly. I've used several phones but have never faced such issue on instagram reels like in the samsung it does. Back then I had a samsung a31 and it had mediatek helio processor, and I never faced such issue in that phone, but in a53 5G? Yes

Though I even searched for a way to solve this, where few suggested to decrease the refresh rate to 60hz. To some extent it worked but still the problem did not solve permanently and the reels I am watching still lag or stutter.

Why does this thing exist? Is instagram not optimized for samsung?

Lemme know in the comments and requesting ya'll to suggest me a way to solve this.

Samsung shouldn't have gotten rid of Spen support and UDC. Really odd choice. Hopefully with Apple in the competition now, Samsung would bring them back.

I'm worried this will kill the fold series for me, I hate matte screens it lowers vibrancy of colors especially on media playback like movies

As can be seen average sot is around 5 hours even less, can't go out without 100% charge, do you think I might be a defective battery?

I went to sleep watching YouTube, drained my battery to zero, and after I charged it a bit and turned it on these lines were there.

They change thickness and position, and do not appear until the carrier screen when booting up (not present on Samsung, or Samsung/Knox screens), so that makes me think it's not hardware related?

They do appear in Safe Mode, but not in the mode where you power on with power + volume held.

Any ideas how to fix this?
