    The annual trade-in race

    Sent Thursday, received today. And now the wait....

    Show us your pictures

    Mind blown that a PHONE could catch a fast-moving subject like this (my dSLR with pro lenses doesn't even always focus right in this kind of shot without using burst mode). This is a crop and has degraded during upload, but you get the idea - the original is clear, and I'm just using...

    Battery life is really impressive!

    Bingo. For all the interwebz moaning about using the same battery as previous models I can only assume people haven't actually tried the phone - the real world battery life is ridiculous!! First time in years I haven't had to worry about making it through the day.

    S26 U Cases and Accessories

    100% agree. This is my 3rd VC case and the only reason I even looked at others was because I wasn't crazy about the designs on offer for the 26u when I ordered, but this one is actually quite nice. I've added a Syncwire ring/stand (which makes a great photo stand) and am really happy with the...

    The annual trade-in race

    And... she's off. Took loads of imei, reset, power on and packing photos, as well as dropping off at UPS. Now the wait..... (My previous trades have all gone well, but I figure I can't be too proactive in making sure!!)

    S26 U Cases and Accessories

    After trying half a dozen different options, I've gone back to Velvet Caviar - I like the higher screen lip and "sticky" feel, and the designs are less masculine than so many of the cases out there. They didn't have the same print as my s23+ (which I loved, because it was easy to see in my bag!)...

    Few things of note coming from an S22U to the S26U (from my wife)

    Did you try a full factory reset? Mine arrived with a touch lag that was driving me nuts, and I thought I had a bad unit - did a full reset and it runs like a dream now.

    Few things of note coming from an S22U to the S26U (from my wife)

    I would agree with all of this!! It's really outstanding, and the camera (the main reason I got it) exceeds expectations.

    26u Discoveries

    Maybe I'm late to the party on this (although I don't believe I had this before so it maybe it's an Ultra only feature?), but in Notes you can select music staff paper!!! May not be something everybody wants, but it's brilliant if you're a musician :) Also, the camera is absurdly good - I got...

    Floating screen

    Yeah I always tweak the edge handle. Now I know the source I can avoid doing it unless I want to, I just couldn't figure out what I was doing that made it appear, seemingly randomly! Need to dig into the gestures menu to see if there's a way to assign a different shortcut for it. Both the best...

    Floating screen

    Omg I literally just figured it out!!! If you hold the edge handle for a long press (without opening it) the AI glow comes up and starts the process. That will be how I keep pulling it up accidentally. Now to figure out how to set it so it's a gesture I want instead of one I don't lol

    Floating screen

    Nope, pen safely stowed.

    Floating screen

    Except I use SwiftKey, not the the Samsung keyboard lol (I already googled to figure this out, and saw the same info) It's definitely some kind of screen gesture, I just don't know what it is [emoji848]

    Floating screen

    Hi! Every so often this floating screen pops up with camera assist or writing assist - the edges of the screen glow with the AI pastel rainbow and it highlights anything I touch. I assume I'm somehow pulling it up with a swipe or gesture... but I don't know what is triggering it or HOW I'm...
