    Samsung S25 Ultra dirty screen issue

    I experienced this issue with the S25U Ultra after a few days of using it. I have always taken care of my phones and have never used a screen protector on any of my previous devices. I decided to try one for this phone, especially since the screen is flat, hence reduced chances of edge lifting...

    Are you using a Launcher?

    Been using Niagara launcher for a few years now. Prior to that I was using Nova. Since I've gotten this phone I've decided to give One UI a spin. I've stuck with it but I do miss Niagara. I find apps so much quicker on Niagara and I also miss how easy it was to change my icons especially paired...

    google photos s25

    Google Photos app is pretty good. It's just a matter of opening the app and logging in with your Google account and selecting the folders you want to backup. Samsung uses OneDrive for their backups so there is that option as well. I use both but for different things.

    Get off my CASE!!

    Almost got this case myself but opted for the ArmorPro instead. Wanted the more uniform look instead of the exposed volume and power buttons.

    First Impressions

    The difference between this phone and the S23 Ultra I just put to bed, is night and day. Yes, I knew it was an upgrade but this is a different beast.

    Get off my CASE!!

    I'm leaning towards the Benks although I prefer the individual camera cutouts on the Pitaka. My current case (S23U) is a Pitaka and I had no problem with it. Curious how the silver blue phone I ordered would look in the Benks with the window cutout.

    So when will we get our phones (pre orders) Samsung.com

    So after all the back and forth, the package has arrived and left Orlando and on its way to Miami now. Got yet another reschedule message from UPS saying delivery tomorrow. I was resigned to waiting till Friday so this is a bonus.

    So when will we get our phones (pre orders) Samsung.com

    Well now I'm totally confused. My delivery date was rescheduled to Friday 31st and I just got an email from UPS saying rescheduled to Thursday 30th. I was happy for two seconds then I got another saying rescheduled to Friday. WTF UPS? Playing with my heart strings.

    Get off my CASE!!

    Stuck between buying this case or the Pitaka case. I only use minimalist cases because the Ultras are already big phones. Where are you getting the Benks at this price?

    Saw a tech reviewer on YouTube who debunked that story. Apparently there is no Bluetooth S-pen available to purchase.

    Google Photos

    Using the free up space feature will delete the photos that are backed up to Google photos from your device. Basically they are available on Google photos so no need to have the original taking up space on your phone.

    Samsung Going with Round Edges on the S25

    I've seen two articles mentioning rumors from Ice that the S25 will have rounded corners. Meanwhile the new Fold is being launched with more square corners. Is Samsung trying to push former Note now S23/24 users to the Fold?
