Who needs a bigger battery with results like this? 28% battery usage and almost 3 1/2 hours of SOT.

I use Nova also. Saw that and immediately upgraded to nova prime.

You're not missing anything. The cameras are excellent!

The overall takeaway seems to be that most of the things we worry about have a negligible effect on battery life and health.

Is there any reason to think that an S26U manufactured in one place is going to be better than one made elsewhere?

Mine was made in Korea. But aren't they all manufactured in Korea?

Hahaha. Usually, but in this case, it gave me so much aggravation I'm pretty sure I'll remember. Wait, what was that again? (jk)

I figured it out. Somehow on recent apps screen I must have somehow engaged "show recommended apps." All I needed to do was tap the three dots in the upper right of the recent apps screen and unchecked the "show recommended apps" toggle. Always something new to learn. 😅

I was playing around with Good Lock and now, all of a sudden, when I tap open or recent apps (the far left button on the bottom of the screen) I get these circled things on the bottom of the recent apps screen. Even when I then tap "close all" they remain there. I uninstalled Good Lock thinking...

Stock settings, HDR on. Pretty great pics I think for a non-DSLR phone camera. Very pleased with the colors, contrast and detail.

It really hardly makes a difference. Almost everyone puts their expensive phone in a case and, once it's in there essentially all you can see is the screen and the case. The color of the phone itself is 98% covered by the case. Here's an example of my black S26U. The case is taupe and there's...

This is a native option in the phone. Why in the world would this be needed? Has anyone enabled this, and, if so, why?

Taking a look at what's contributing to battery usage I've found that the AOD accounts for between 4.5% - 5% of battery drain. So I found this setting that doesn't really affect its functionality and still limits battery drain. Previously I had it set to "always on," which I believe is the...

Any idea why my phone doesn't seem to have an option for a second sim? Bought unlocked on Amazon and registered on the Verizon network with the sim from my S21U.
