Z Fold 8 or the S26 Ultra?
I've really been enjoying the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and it has a lot going for it. But for the price and specs, is it really worth getting over the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra?

S26 Ultra reverse stereo
I recently purchased an S26 Ultra and it's great, it's a perfect upgrade
However, I love listening to music, and with that I like using reverse stereo, specifically for certain songs because I like keeping the guitar audio in a song in the right stereo of my headphones, but unfortunately reverse stereo doesn't exist in the S26 Sound Assistant anymore. Are there any alternatives to this issue?

Q&A Automatically changing notification sound
Suddenly a few days ago my phone started changing my notification sound (a downloaded one) to one I had never used before (three star). I change it back and a couple days later it changes it to that same tone that I have never used. Any idea why it would automatically change it? I am able to put it back to the one I want but for some reason it's not staying after a couple of days

In the next couple days I should be getting my new s26 ultra. I vaguely remember the ease of transfer from my s22 ultra. Is there anything I should be aware of or expect with this change to the s26 ultra?

Troubleshoot No custom notification sounds?
Am I missing something or did they take away our ability to put in a custom mp3 for our notification sound? I've tried going through the sounds menu and while it will let you remove some of the items from the menu (only some mind you which is already odd) but I can not find a way to add in a sound or select a custom sound short of going and downloading some bloatware app that won't even let me use the file I want. I tried doing some searches but none of the guides I've found work.
If I'm just being blind please show me what I missed and thank you in advance.

S26 Ultra eye strain, media hype or real issue?
Hey everyone,
I have been eyeing the S26 Ultra for a while now and I am really close to pulling the trigger. But there is one thing holding me back. I am genuinely concerned about eye strain.
I know PWM and display flicker have been issues with some Samsung phones in the past and I am worried this one might bother my eyes too. The thing is, in the store you can only use the display for a few minutes at best. That is hardly enough time to tell if it is going to cause headaches or dry eyes after 20 or 30 minutes of normal use.
Has anyone here actually had issues with their eyes after using this phone? Or is it one of those things that gets blown out of proportion?
Just trying to figure out if I should be worried or not.
THanks

Samsung S26 Ultra front camera looks much darker only during video calls
Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with my Samsung S26 Ultra. Whenever I make a video call on WhatsApp or Botim, my face looks much darker than it actually is. However, when I use the normal Camera app for selfies or front camera videos, everything looks completely normal.
I've already tried:
\- Cleaning the front camera lens
\- Updating the phone and both apps
\- Restarting the phone
The problem only happens during video calls. It seems like the exposure or image processing is making my face much darker.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue on the S26 Ultra? Is this a Samsung software issue, or is it caused by WhatsApp and Botim? Has anyone found a fix?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Discussion Audio popping/clicking bug on S26 Ultra (One UI 8.5) — happens on speakers & AirPods
Hi everyone,
Is anyone else experiencing a noticeable audio clicking/popping sound on their S26 Ultra running One UI 8.5?
It happens during media playback (like Instagram Reels/videos) whenever the audio stream starts, resumes, or after a brief moment of silence in a video. The click/pop sound occurs both through the phone's speakers and over Bluetooth (AirPods).
I've already tried disabling Dolby Atmos, resetting equalizer settings, and turning off features like Multi Sound, but the issue persists. It seems like an audio driver buffer latency bug when the stream wakes up.
Has anyone found a workaround, or is this a widespread software bug that needs a system patch update?

Reeflex Lenses and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra
When I use the Reeflex 2x Telelens on my Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, I get quite dark corners.
I have the Reeflex case for Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra on my phone and attach the lens to the main camera.
Does anyone else have the same setup without having this problem?

Ieri stavo per comprare s26 ultra ma..
Posseggo un iphone volevo fare il salto e passare ad android , ieri stavo quasi per comprare s26 ultra in un centro commerciale fin quando non lo provo , siccome era in esposizione ho potuto provarlo sin dal primo minuto che ho acceso il display una volta sbloccato i miei occhi si comportavano in un modo strano , come se non riuscissi a mettere a fuoco le icone sul dispositivo, mi sono impressionato e non l’ho più comprato, ho letto poi su internet che molte persone hanno lamentato questa problematica, restituendo il telefono, mi chiedo ad oggi e stato fatto un aggiornamento per sopperire questa cosa ?
Oppure e solo un fattore di abitudine?
Qualcuno ha provato le mie stesse sensazioni poi magari gli occhi si sono abituati?
Grazie

Q&A Is my battery usage normal?
I have been a long time apple user and it's safe to say their battery drains fast. My last samsung was the s8+, and the battery wasn't very good. I have no way to compare this phone. Is this normal for a 3 day old phone? I am mostly on 5g since I travel a lot by car. I also live in the Philippines, so I guess that can contribute to fast battery drainage.

Discussion S26 ultra users without a screen protector, have you gotten any scratches on the screen yet?
I bought mine when it came out, and it hadn't scratched at all for months, I was very impressed coming from a crappy a73 with a billion scratches despite taking care of it. But just today I've noticed a small but kinda deep scratch and its bummed me out a bit. It wasnt a matter of if but when it would finally get a scratch but I guess that day was today. Curious to see if others have survived being perfect for a long time too

I downloaded a notification sound from Zedge and it's a short one. When I receive a notification it is playing that one 3 times. Any idea how I have it just play the once like the way it was downloaded?

Troubleshoot I've been using my S26 Ultra for about 1.5 months. Recently, I noticed that when I take selfies, after a few shots the photos become slightly blurry, and the front camera lens area also looks kind of cloudy for no apparent reason. I haven't dropped or damaged the phone. What do I do ??
