    Dynamic Notch

    That's why I have the Google Rewards app installed. Every now and then take a silly one/two question survey and rack up Google Play $. Haven't gotten in app in a while so have about $16 might waste a couple of dollars to try one of these apps. I hate trying an app with ads too.

    Who's Ordering The S26

    Yes, the cameras on the ZF7 suck. I just went back to my S23U last week and was so satisfied with the first shots I took with the S23U. Noticed immediately after a few days wanting to use the cameras more with the Ultra than the ZF7. Two year old cameras and takes better pics out of box than the...

    Who's Ordering The S26

    I miss stainless steel from older iPhones I owned. Weight on any of the phones were never an issue. And SS dissipates heat better than titanium.

    Buying direct from Samsung?

    S24 Ultra trade-in for an S25 Ultra? I'm looking at the Samsung site and they are only offering $700 for a 24U

    Who's Ordering The S26

    I guess the first step is to sign in to the Samsung Reserve to at least get the $30 credit if I/you decide to order through Samsung? https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/the-next-galaxy/reserve/ Up to $900 additional savings* sounds a little low but depends on what phones they will give $900...

    Update today

    I guess nevermind... It had even another update after I posted but when done it shows January 1, 2026 patch level. I had just put my sim back into the S23U after giving my Z Fold 7 a fair shot running it full time for the last few months. I thought I'd run one update and it would get me to...

    Update today

    I got an update a couple of days ago. And I just got another update just now. Just checking if anyone has experienced this too... two updates within a couple of days. I didn't see what version it was installing, just rebooted to let it do it. I'm wondering if it's some glitch and trying to...

    Buying direct from Samsung?

    I've done trade-ins with both my carrier (AT&T) and Samsung. At the end of the day it all comes down to who gives me the $1000 trade-in on my old phone. And with the carriers if you don't care how they give you that $1000 credit over contract time. One time forgot which one (I think AT&T)...

    Jan 30th TRI FOLD

    $2899 is insane. Especially since there is practically no app support to take advantage of the open screen. Everything is just bigger. And not necessarily optimized. When the ZF 8 Wide comes out, I'd think it'd negate the advantage of the trifold. The wider form factor on the ZF8W when you...

    Who is waiting for the S26 Ultra?

    Loved the Phantom White on my S22 Ultra so hoping they come out with a super bright white. Polished frame and camera island would be sweet too.

    S25 catches on fire

    Has anyone noticed those that have a collection of old iPhones and Samsungs that you keep in some drawer somewhere and you by chance check on them years later... for me it's always the Samsung phones I had that I find with expanded batteries bursting out of the phone housing?

    Who is waiting for the S26 Ultra?

    Yeah works for me cause I rarely make changes. I've had pretty much the same number and carrier as far back when my carrier was called Cingular 😄

    Who is waiting for the S26 Ultra?

    It will come down to who has the better trade-in offer... it varies from year to year but sometimes its the carriers offering $1100 for your newer model trade-in. Sometimes it was Samsung. Usually there is at least one that will.

    Re: S25U > Z Fold 7 - anyone made the move, or using them side by side?

    If the iPhone Fold is real, are you going to get one? Rumor price has it in Tri-Fold territory but honestly I think the OS/app integration could be much better if they are able to basically open to iPad version in open screen and dimensions closer to Pixel Fold.
