    Who is waiting for the S26 Ultra?

    And what would be wrong with that?

    News Google still can't get the basics right on Pixels

    "To its credit, Google is adding a vapor chamber to the Pixel 9 Pro, and while that is a positive move, it isn't available on the standard model." The article did mention the vapor chamber cooling. The problem is its only offered on the pro versions and not the regular pixel 9. And you have to...

    News Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra won't probably blow your mind with its battery life

    I can think of a solution that will instantly improve battery life on the s25 ultra and Samsung wont have to change phone thickness to implement it. Bring back removable batteries. We'll be able to go from 0 to 100% in a matter of seconds and won't have to wait for a charge.

    Samsung is giving 5-10% back if you chat with them

    This happened to me one time as well. I think it was back when I had an s20 ultra. I was about to return it due to personal reasons and the Samsung representative on the phone offered me a 10% discount to keep it. Ended up getting a little over $100 back on my purchase. So they may offer the...

    News A massive Pixel 9 leak ruins the suspense ahead of Google's big event

    Better to wait for the pixel 10 and the tmsc chip. As long as the pixel keeps using repurposed Samsung exynos (ie tensor) hardware it will continue to overheat and get poor reception when cellphone signals get weaker.

    Trade-in thread

    Meant to say when the s25 ultra comes out. Also the representative told me that they match trade in values with Samsung online so whatever trade in values are showing in the website or app will be the same values in store. I even asked her about my current phone to be sure and was told I could...

    Trade-in thread

    This is good news. Hopefully this means that Samsung has resolved some of their past issues with their trade in department. However, I'm still going to be looking at the new option I found out about to do a trade in directly with the Samsung store when it's time to upgrade. FedEx can't steal it...

    Dead pixel

    Maybe it's just a stuck pixel? Try one of those youtube pixel repair videos and see if maybe it will fix it.

    Trade-in thread

    Heard something interesting from the Samsung store in my city's Galleria shopping center last week. Decided to do some mall walking with my wife last weekend and we both stopped by the Samsung store to check out the displays for all the new devices coming out this month. A representative walked...

    News Pixel 9 series likely to go ultrasonic with Galaxy S24 Ultra's fingerprint sensor

    Finally. One of the reasons why I left pixel phones for my S23 is because of the shaky fingerprint sensor. The other reason was the crappy and inferior modems that apparently will still be used in the pixel 9. As a result I'm going to pass on the next pixel as well. They really should just start...

    News Entire Pixel 9 series leaks in live photos hours before Google I/O 2024

    Once I read "Tensor" in the article I went ahead and skipped to the next story. As long as Google keeps insisting on using left over Samsung modems in their devices they'll continue to fall short of both iphone and galaxy phone performance. They really need to go ahead and pay up to use...

    News Google's new app uses AI to solve math problems

    High school students use this app primarily as a way to cheat on their math quizzes and tests. It seems like the more our technology improves the more it can be abused.

    Trade-In rejected! 😡

    No you cannot. I got into a big argument with them about this. You have to be the actual person or business that generated the shipping label in order to purchase insurance for a package. Since Samsung creates the shipping label for tradeins they are the only entity that can purchase extra...

    Trade-In rejected! 😡

    This won't work with Samsung trade in because the original generator of the shipping label has to be the one who purchases the insurance. And that would be Samsung. And yes I know this because my first ever trade in to Samsung a few years ago was stolen in transit via FedEx. I was one of the...

    Attention Android Central - please check your adds

    I'm unsure if this is the place to post this but I just went to this site and immediately wanted to go somewhere else due to an add that filled half of the screen. There was also no way to close the add. And I have a galaxy ultra so to fill half of the screen is saying a lot. Unsure if this is a...
