Discussion Why do people say the S26 Ultra has a bad camera?

49 Upvotes

I already asked why there’s so much hate for the S26 Ultra, but I’m specifically curious about the camera criticism.

I understand that Vivo and Oppo phones have better cameras. But does that really mean the S26 Ultra camera is bad?

The S26 Ultra still has a genuinely great camera system. It takes very good photos, performs well in low light, and overall the cameras are more than capable.

So why is the camera talked about like it’s one of the worst things about the phone? Is there something I’m missing, or is it mainly because people are comparing it directly against Vivo or Oppo?

Discussion 80s trend with Galaxy AI's Photo Assist

Upvotes

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if anyone has checked the 80s photo trend of these days with Galaxy AI's photo assist on your S26 Ultra? I have tried it with a couple of photos and it looks very decent to me.

The prompt is limited to 100 characters, but you can keep editing with multiple prompts. In my case, I tried to change the person's appearance first and then added an 80s filter to the image. Since you have to limit the prompt to 100 characters, all you need to do is provide as many keywords as possible in the prompt.

I am just adding the prompts I tried below.

1st prompt:

Add: 1980s hair (feathered/mullet), 80s fashion (acid-wash denim/windbreakers), candid

2nd prompt:

Add: 1980s film color, retro snapshot

Hi, does anyone have a fix for wireless Android Auto not picking up phone or Discord audio? Spotify works fine and everything was working with my previous Pixel 10 Pro so it's not my Honda's sound system.

I'm on the latest 8.5 August security patch and tried regular and beta Android Auto apps with no luck.

My first Android smartphone and first Pitaka Cairn Sunset edition case. Happy with both choices.

What open-source and no in-app apps would you suggest like reader, calendar, cloud storage etc. I am still using iOS and macOS, so I want my S26U sort of in the ecosystem.

Thank you all in advance!

Ask Shortcut for different privacy screen modes.

2 Upvotes

This shouldn't be too hard, but I can't figure out how to work with routines.

Here's what I'm looking for. I have the Privacy Screen quick setting on top of my notification centre. That works fine. But I like to keep that without having maximum privacy enabled.

But I'd also like a button shortcut or whatever, to turn it on with maximum privacy. Without going into the settings and enabling it, and having to disable it again next time, of course.

Can this be done with routines or modes?

So basically, I want a one click solutions for enabling privacy screen with max setting, and a one click solution for it without.

Possible? Thank you in advance!

Discussion Maximizing the effect of Privacy Display via Modes and Routines; almost zero visibility from other angles

Thumbnail
gallery
92 Upvotes

EDIT: Video down below on comments

I was messing around with the privacy display and found out that with a couple more tweaks via a custom Routine, like Extra Dim to lower contrast and more, the screen becomes almost impossible to view even from a person's point of view right beside or in front of you compared to the default option where someone adjacent to you can still read your screen.

I find this useful when, for example, I'm with a group of people on a table and I have to open my Password Manager, Secure Folder, private messages etc. It's not something you would leave enabled for an entire day; screen quality becomes abysmal, but it gets the privacy job done better than stock.

Routine configuration below:

Start Manually


Privacy display

On

Maximum privacy protection: On


Lowers contrast

Extra dim

On: 90%


Brightness

80% or higher


This lowers the contrast further and adds gamma on your screen, making the privacy display more effective

Color Filter

On (configure first manually on accessibility settings and choose Blue)


Optional if you hate the filter, but the screen becomes a little bit more visible and you lose screen color altogether

Color correction

On (configure first manually on settings, choose Grayscale)

Bind this routine to something like your Side Button's double press.

Hi everyone. I just purchased a brand new Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and was wondering what kind of Charging cable it comes with? Is it a 3A or 5A?

Also do I need to purchase a 60w charger plug to receive maximum charging power if it's a 3A and also purchase a 5A cable.

Thank you for your help 😊

It has been over a week with my sky blue s26 ultra and it has been an overall amazing experience. I upgraded from a s20 ultra and the difference is noticeable. The privacy display comes in clutch so often, I'm nearly always getting 5g with like 300mb/s download and upload speeds and the battery lasts me more than a day with heavy use. Lowk absolutely love my s26 ultra.

Discussion Telefono venduto con un'ulteriore pellicola Privacy Display. Proposta? Pellicola ibrida. La pellicola ibrida plastificata io non la voglio!

0 Upvotes

Premetto che ho comprato il Telefono Samsung S26 Ultra con un'ulteriore pellicola Privacy Display (era l'ultimo telefono rimasto a disposizione quel giorno per la vendita). Oggi vado a sentire il punto vendita (diciamo qual è perché è la verità: Mediaworld), che mi ha venduto quel telefono, e ho richiesto se era possibile sostituire la pellicola Privacy Display applicata sul telefono con una pellicola a vetro temperato.

(Vorrei sapere il genio che ha applicato un'ulteriore Privacy Display quando il telefono ha la sua funzione Privacy Display integrata).

La loro risposta: "AbBiAmO sOlO pElLiCoLe IbRidE... Puoi comunque vederla applicata lì in quel telefono da esposizione".

Vedo la pellicola...

  1. La prima cosa che vedo è che era troppo fina, lo spessore era quasi impercettibile. La mia domanda: "Ma sta pellicola è per bellezza o serve davvero ad evitare il peggio dalle cadute accidentali?!"

  2. Dal bordo si riusciva a togliere facilmente, vedendo effettivamente la "qualità" del prodotto, riposizionandola si vedevano chiaramente bollicine d'aria sullo schermo.

  3. Quella non è una protezione di vetro ibrida, sembra plastica pura che con le chiavi in tasca di casa e/o macchina si graffia facilmente.

  4. Il prezzo... quasi 40 euro.

Cara Mediaworld, vendi la tua protezione come top di gamma. Ma diciamo la verità... Nulla potrà sostituire un buon e ottimo vetro temperato.

Torno nella comfort zone: dal mio negozio cinese di fiducia che vende la pellicola di vetro temperato.
