@UniverseIce I wish you the same! Much success, and if the Galaxy S26 doesn't meet your needs 80% of the time, I won't buy it.

[Ice Universe @UniverseIce]

Trust me, the only way to save Samsung phones is：
Don't buy the Galaxy S26.
Only by failing once can Samsung wake up.Otherwise, he thought consumers were easy to fool.
Therefore, he will continue to use the same strategy on the Galaxy S27 and S28. To get him to make a change.
We must boycott the Galaxy S26.

[Ice Universe @UniverseIce]

The core argument of this article is that Samsung has abandoned the standard Galaxy S26.

Faced with pressure from the iPhone 17, Samsung didn't choose to counter with higher specifications like Chinese brands. Instead, prioritizing profit, it offered virtually no upgrades to the S26. Plans to upgrade to a 50MP ultra-wide camera were cancelled, the screen remained unchanged, and the battery was only 4300mAh. It has no chance against the iPhone 17. I predict Samsung will use software restrictions to force existing users to buy the S26, such as delaying the One UI rollout to older phones and limiting AI and camera features. However, this tactic is increasingly alienating users. In short, Samsung is slowly heading towards its demise.

We want to thank you again for your patience and support. While the wait is a little longer, we are incredibly excited for players to experience the sprawling state of Leonida and a return to modern day Vice City.

I really like taking pictures of my new main smartphone vivoX300 Pro.
These are some photos I took in Shenzhen.
The picture quality is amazing, pure and without noise. This is very happy for me, a Samsung user.
What surprised me most was the fourth photo. It is 20x zoom
Its magic lies in that vivo adopts advanced "air cutting technology"Blurred the objects around the butterfly.
This is an effect that cannot be achieved in other brands.

This is a 40x zoom photo taken by iPhone17 Pro. It looks good. According to my experience, it is at least better than that shot by S25 Ultra.
The head of Samsung camera must resign.

[Ice Universe @UniverseIce]

This is the photo taken by the 3x telephoto of Samsung's flagship mobile phone Galaxy S25 Ultra in the evening in 2025. Image quality like shit
The head of Samsung camera should resign immediately.

[Ice Universe @UniverseIce]

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra's camera bump reaches 4.5mm (compared to 2.4mm on the S25 Ultra), driven by the large-aperture main camera and telephoto lens. Hopefully, the improvement will justify this increased thickness. Samsung could easily accommodate a larger telephoto sensor within this thickness, but unfortunately, it's still 1/2.52" at 50MP, making it the smallest telephoto sensor in a global flagship phone by 2026.

However, this also suggests that Samsung seems to be exploring even larger bump designs in preparation for future camera upgrades. Regardless, Samsung's camera manager should resign.

Open Letter to Samsung CEO TM Roh: Immediately Replace the Camera Division Head to Salvage Galaxy's Imaging Reputation

Dear Mr. TM Roh,

As long-time consumers of Samsung products, we must express our profound disappointment with the continuous deterioration of the camera experience in the Galaxy series. The current leadership of the camera division has severely failed in its duties. Without immediate action, Samsung's reputation in mobile imaging will be irreparably damaged. Below are eight compelling reasons why the head of the camera division must be replaced:

1. Deceptive Marketing and Exaggerated Claims

Claims of "industry-leading camera performance" in promotional events, while actual results fall far short
Significant discrepancies between sample images and real-world performance, bordering on false advertising

2. Technological Backwardness, Outpaced by Competitors

Persistent image quality issues: excessive noise in shadows, crushed blacks in HDR, poor telephoto quality, subpar night photography, unnatural portrait details and bokeh
Fundamental flaws: shutter lag (over 0.5 seconds), excessive video sharpening
Left behind by competitors like iPhone, vivo, OPPO, Huawei, and Xiaomi

3. Neglecting User Feedback, Ignoring Longstanding Issues

Years of user complaints (e.g., poor shadow detail, unnatural skin tones, shutter delay) remain unresolved
Widespread criticism in official forums, social media, and professional reviews—yet Samsung turns a blind eye

4. Blindly Copying Apple, Losing Samsung's Identity

From hardware tuning to software algorithms, mindlessly following Apple's "natural tone" approach, resulting in dull, lifeless photos
Even replicating Apple's flaws (e.g., HDR black crush, excessive sharpening), completely abandoning Samsung's once-vibrant signature style

5. Discriminatory Skin Tone Processing

Poor rendering of Asian and Caucasian skin tones, often appearing unnaturally "yellow-black"
Mocked by users as the "Samsung Yellow Face Filter"
Far inferior to Chinese brands (e.g., OPPO, vivo) in natural skin tone optimization

6. Complacency in Hardware, Refusing to Innovate

Stubbornly using outdated sensors (e.g., HP2 and IMX754 for four consecutive years), refusing to upgrade to larger sensors
Unwilling to learn from Chinese brands' advanced hardware and software technologies

7. Slow and Discriminatory Software Updates

Camera algorithm updates are infrequent and sluggish in addressing issues
Deliberately withholding improvements from older models (e.g., Galaxy S23 and S24 series still lack optimizations from the S25)

8. Technologically Conservative, Resisting AI Innovation

Outdated noise reduction in primary and telephoto cameras, leading to smeary night shots
Refusal to adopt AI computational photography (e.g., Google's HDR+, Huawei's XMAGE engine)

Our Demands

1. Immediately remove the head of the camera division and recruit experts with genuine expertise in computational photography and user experience.
2. Significantly upgrade hardware: Adopt cutting-edge sensors, larger apertures, 200MP telephoto lenses, and variable aperture technology.
3. Completely overhaul software optimization: Accelerate update cycles, fix legacy issues, and ensure older models receive algorithm improvements.
4. Establish a rapid user feedback response system to prevent years of unresolved complaints.

Samsung was once a leader in mobile imaging—now, due to the incompetence of its camera team, it has become a laughingstock. If decisive action is not taken now, Galaxy users will flock to competitors like iPhone, Huawei, and Xiaomi. Time is running out. Act now!

Galaxy S26 Edge vs S25 Edge

[Ice Universe @UniverseIce]

Samsung S26 Pro, S26 Edge and S26 Ultra. The thickness of the S26 Edge is 5.5mm, which is very attractive. The S26 Pro is only 6.xmm, and the S26 Ultra is 7.9mm.
