यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत ।
अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् ।।
परित्राणाय साधूनाम् विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम् ।
धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे ।।

Yada yada hi dharmasya glanirbhavati bharata ৷
Abhythanamadharmasya tadatmanam srijamyaham ৷৷
Paritranaya sadhunang vinashay cha dushkritam ৷
Dharmasangsthapanarthay sambhabami yuge yuge ৷৷

@UniverseIce It shouldn't be there in the first place. Either it should be UDC (Under-Display Camera) or no camera at all.

The inner display should give a big, immersive field of view!

[卂乇 @imAlter_Ego]

A brand that continually increases its flagship models shows a clear lack of vision.

Furthermore, the pricing is exorbitantly high. It's slow to incorporate the latest hardware tech, while gradually omitting important components over the years. RAM and other component prices cannot be an excuse for such sky-high pricing, especially for the foldables.

@UniverseIce No S-Pen
No UDC
Exactly which one are you referring to? 🤔

[卂乇 @imAlter_Ego]

@tarunvats33 It's become more strict, but kids or overcurious friends can ruin your phone by entering the wrong PIN 13 times, or thieves can take advantage of it.

[卂乇 @imAlter_Ego]

@UniverseIce Can you also include the Z Fold8 Ultra in the mix?

[卂乇 @imAlter_Ego]

This is reassuring ✔

Crease contrast
Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Fold 8, OPPO Find N6, vivo X Fold 6.
The new technology in the Galaxy Z Fold8 not only makes creases lighter, but also makes non-creased areas flatter, just like a tablet.

[卂乇 @imAlter_Ego]

@UniverseIce Will the iPhone Fold/Ultra have better crease management than the Z Fold8?

[卂乇 @imAlter_Ego]

@UniverseIce This will never grow old!

[卂乇 @imAlter_Ego]

How sure are we that this won't happen to the Galaxy Z Fold8 down the line?

[TechDroider @techdroider]

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 One Year Later.

July 2025 vs. July 2026

[卂乇 @imAlter_Ego]

@tarunvats33 No S Pen, so less interested in the Fold8 series.

Watch 9 Ultra 2 ✔

[卂乇 @imAlter_Ego]

@UniverseIce Which model do you think would be more successful this year, the Galaxy Z Fold8 (Wide) or the Fold8 Ultra?

[卂乇 @imAlter_Ego]

@TheGalox_ The thickness remains almost the same.

And Samsung shouldn't have increased the price.

[卂乇 @imAlter_Ego]

@UniverseIce On the S27 Ultra, Samsung must ensure zero picture quality deterioration and eye strain.

[卂乇 @imAlter_Ego]

This update to the Privacy Display tech was needed.

Good job, Samsung!

[Ice Universe @UniverseIce]

One UI 8.5 vs. One UI 9.0

In One UI 8.5, when Privacy Display is enabled for a floating window, the entire screen enters privacy mode, including everything outside the floating window.

With One UI 9.0, Samsung has significantly refined the feature.

Only the floating window remains protected by Privacy Display, while the rest of the screen stays fully visible and unaffected.

It's a much more precise implementation that improves both usability and the multitasking experience.

[卂乇 @imAlter_Ego]

This update to the Privacy Display Feature on the Galaxy S26 Ultra is amazing!

[Tarun Vats @tarunvats33]

Galaxy S26 Ultra's Privacy Display is more powerful than many people realize.

You can now use it with:
• Picture-in-Picture (PiP)*

This means your content stays protected from side angles even while using the PiP feature in public.

* One UI 9 users only

[卂乇 @imAlter_Ego]

@UniverseIce It's pointless to fold a regular-sized phone, which has mediocre camera yet is priced at a flagship level.

[卂乇 @imAlter_Ego]

@UniverseIce Galaxy S25 Ultra

[卂乇 @imAlter_Ego]

@UniverseIce Sci-fi level exciting but impractical.

[卂乇 @imAlter_Ego]

The much-awaited Home Up update!

Version: 18.0.00.24 | Size: 60.7 MB
One UI 9.0 support ✔

[卂乇 @imAlter_Ego]

@UniverseIce Only if the "Ultra" variant indeed supports S Pen.
