TriFold sale is finally Live! (affiliate): https://t.co/tIj4i2Mei3

POV, you're buying a new Samsung phone. Where do you get it?

[Eric Arroyo @TechisodeTV]

I just think it's wild that they have the exact same rating so far. Especially the middle one, being very different. It makes me wonder how accurate the AB tests are because I see similar results with very different titles/thumbnail combos on my videos.

The real question would be which has the highest CTR of those three, but they don't give us that data yet.

Regardless, I'd go #1 because people will immediately recognize you and the text makes is clear that it's NOT a video about the WH1000XM6s, which is kind of what #3 makes me think.

#2 is a clean/professional look. It might be worth testing that one after all of your core audience has watched and you are trying to attract new viewers.

I thought there was always a last step where you had to confirm the purchase after seeing the purchase price. The AI just gets everything to the checkout phase, then it's one more click to confirm. I might be okay with that if there were price limits put in place from the start.

But if it truly was one click, not a chance haha.

I've spent two months with the S26 Ultra... It's been a mixed journey.

[Eric Arroyo @TechisodeTV]

What's your experience been with the S26 Ultra?

[Eric Arroyo @TechisodeTV]

It's definitely possible that they are losing money on it, especially with memory prices skyrocketing.

Surprisingly, even though Samsung also manufacturers the memory chips, the two businesses don't automatically work together. If a 3rd party offers to pay Samsung's memory arm a huge premium, they aren't going to reserve much for the smartphone line. They are still two separate businesses under the same umbrella.

Samsung just changed the time to 10AM EST for the TriFold launch! Their email stated 9AM. It was either a typo or they are planning two drops, one at 9 and another at 10. You can see the current countdown here (affiliate): https://t.co/tIj4i2Mei3

@robertoblake I completely stopped using tags towards the end of last year (literally zero tags). The results?

1. Zero loss in typical viewership.
2. Lots of time saved for other tasks. 👍

I'd be curious to see how this breaks out by product category.

If this includes memory sales, Samsung is one of, if not the largest memory manufacturer in the world. So the AI memory pump is likely what drove this massive growth.

Great for the company as a whole, but I don't think this is reflective of their phone sales.

Just looking at the numbers, it’s actually hard to grasp how insane Samsung’s Q1 2026 profit really is.

So I pulled together a full quarterly timeline from 2017 to now (see chart). What you’re seeing here is a near-vertical spike that goes far beyond any normal business growth curve.

What’s even more striking: based on current supply chain momentum, Q1 could end up being the weakest quarter Samsung posts this year.

If you're wondering where Night mode, Single Take, and Dual Record modes went on your Galaxy S26 series? You can re-enable them by tapping these 3 toggles in the "Camera Assistant" submenu in the Camera Settings.

If you're wondering WHY they were removed...

1. Night mode features have been built right into the main photo mode so you don't really need a dedicated mode anymore.

2. Dual record mode has been baked into the main Video mode. Tap the quick settings grid icon while in Video mode, then scroll to the right in the menu and tap the tiny square within a larger square icon to select which type of Dual recording you want to use.

3. I don't know why Single take was pulled out of the main settings.

Bonus tip: Enabling the full Dual record mode from the Camera Assistant menu unlocks a bunch of extra features and I recommend using it that way.

The Z TriFold has sold out within a few minutes every time more stock has come in and this is likely the final restock before the TriFold is officially gone.
