@theonecid The app works great, but it's a bummer that Amex cards aren't supported anymore (they used to be in the Samsung Pay app before the 2020-2021 wallet update).
1/2 My experience with Spigen cases has been consistently positive since the with excellent durability. S10+, S21+, S22 Ultra, and Tab S7+. But, the S23 Ultra Zero One case didn't uphold the expected standards, as the side exhibited loosening despite limited use.

Samsung has already developed an advanced continuous zoom camera, but here’s the irony: it goes first to Chinese brands, not to Galaxy.
The reason is simple—Samsung MX refuses to adopt new technology. In their mindset, innovation equals higher cost, and they would rather play it “safe and cheap” than let Galaxy users experience true breakthroughs.
The result? Samsung develops the tech, China launches it, and Galaxy falls behind its own creation. This weakens Galaxy’s competitiveness and fuels disappointment among loyal users.
That’s why I’m now even more determined to call for the impeachment of Samsung’s camera division head. He may not be the ultimate decision-maker, but as the top leader of the camera division, he must take responsibility—and pay the price.😾

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!
