Hi Members,

 

After seeing the Unpacked, there are few nice upgrade on S26 Ultra. 

- Call screening

- Smarter Bixby due to partner with Perplexity

- Privacy screen (on Pixel level)

- Night Photography, now can take Night video

- Video shooting now support APV codec

- Capture now can directly save to external storage

 

For the Buds 4 Pro

The bass maybe better due to wider woofer design.

When in phone call, the Advanced Deep Neural Network, can filter surronding sounds so that you can hear the caller more clear sound.

Plus Galaxy AI on Buds 4 Pro, which helps on interpreter, move your head to answer or reject calls...etc.

 

Now the S26 series and Buds 4 Pro is availble preorder at:

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra | Galaxy AI | Samsung CA

 

Now is the waiting game if you place an order.

      Definitely THE best innovation for phones for the last 10yrs. Very akin the HP EliteBooks w/option to have a phase-switch on pixels to accomplish the same goal. Works great! Curious why Samsung didn't include Privacy screen on their laptops this year?

      Looks pretty good - Im still disappointed they couldn't squeeze in magsafe since I've heard they redesigned the pen input to not require the same old digitizer that was created a conflict.

      Regardless, im a buyer for now. Might jump over to the Wide Fold in July if that unit ends up with the little spen and similar processing power.

      They are getting crazy with prices. I always buy the 1TB versions and they want to put it at 2599.99$ now?! Heeeellll no.

      I bought my 1TB Fold 7 for even cheaper than that! LOL

      I think the price hike due to global memory shortage and some inflations. It is so unfortunate. Perhaps Samsung may have some good deals in the future.

      Sorry, but with such an incredibly mediocre upgrade this isn't going to sell well.

      That would be unfortunate.
