Just realized. Samsung default media picker is really really unfriendly UI interface.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Photos arrangement are kinda messy and it requires me a few tap to switch between direct camera or image from album.

Any workaround for easier usage?
*
its google thing. you need grant the app permissions to media manually for easier file picking

(permission manager > photos and video > always allow all)

Not that I believe in their rankings but putting the Galaxy S25 Ultra below the likes of the regular Pixel 8 and iPhone 16 with no dedicated zoom lens is just ridiculous and intentional.

the testing methologies is okay-ish but still flawed, also the scoring system is biased to certain Chinese OEM you may know

Cos Samsung is using subpar components inside their Fons during MCO, remember the Note 7 hand grenade, they started using subpar battery cells that catches fire if too hot or used for too long. Caught red handed but refused to admit untill there's too many cases unable to sweep under the carpet only then Samsung recall all the Note 7
*
Err .. actually note 7 fiasco is because of oversized battery in a undersized battery compartment , not because of QC

i remember my note series that i use for long time until the phone hancur also never have the green line issues , until my S22plus and it happen , my fren de s20+ also greenline.

What i believe is it started when samsung make the screen more thin bazel for the phone , as u know the thinner the bazel , mean the contruction will be more weak , so anything heat up or drop might easily cause the component break down. So for those dont fall / water damage , most of time they get the light saber after updated the phone , because during updating , the phone will heat up and might be this reason the LINE component break down and causes light saber.

That why u notice alot of ppl making joke putting the phone in freeze during updating , or put in front of air-conditional  biggrin.gif
People getting pissy off because china thin bazel screen rarely face this kind of issues , but for samsung phone  , the chance is very very high , so either samsung have to solve the heat issues during updating (maybe can throttle down the speed of upgrading so the phone doesnt heat up that much) , or improve with new technology to make the bazel more stronger.
Like the Vivo x90 pro series using samsung E6 display also often kena light saber , but vivo steady , a 3-4year old phone stil able to get free replacement screen without question biggrin.gif
*
Yeah it's true that flexible oled with narrow bottom bezel easier to have light saber or worse white screen issues because flex ribbon is much more sensitive to heat and impact

There are few of true solutions
1. Starting with S25 series (and selected a series from a55 onwards) finally implemented seamless updates which not required rebooting into bootloader and wait for updates to be installed. With seamless updates, update is installed in separate system partition before reboot (requires a/b partition, cannot back port into older phones)


2. New display materials starting with s24 series (higher brightness at lower battery draw and heat output, but sacrifices the viewing angle due to micro lens technology)

3. Cpu with good enough efficiency which will not heat up during system updates or high brightness

Try with s21/s22 series then you will know how horrible it heats up in many situations including updating system

That's what Samsung says, if indeed the battery is oversized, how does it fit inside the small & cramp space of a Fon ? Fon components are perfectly sized to each millimeters impossible the battery can be oversized like Samsung says. Wondering what actually is Samsung trying to hide.

Nah Samsung battery tech is quite conservative after that. That's why s25 edge ultra slim model is with laughably 3900mah battery

Device not get hot after update , is super duper hot during the update process  , after done the update and the phone restart , tarahhhhh appear light saber 😅
Both using stupid SoC snapdragon 888 and 8gen1 that design by Samsung , battery drain and phone heat like no tomorrow.

I remember xiaomi 11 was the first phone to use the snapdragon 888 , ended up u see the phone got so high chance to burn the motherboard due to the heat 🤦 , after this case , only china phone starting with those cooling system and cooling VC system , at least they control the 8gen1 heat better , that two year , snapdragon soc really ruins by Samsung chip designer team 🤦 , really god bless it now back to TSMC.

More to shitty Samsung fab because yield rate was poor. Middle of 8 gen 1 lifespan Qcom make a promptly switch to tsmc with 8+ gen 1 and somehow improvement in efficiency can be seen

25U at 3.5k, based on the ongoing promo should be achieveable in 11.11 or 12.12 sale. But with 256GB.

512GB hard to dip to 3.5k unless Samsung all out throw price.
*
Yeah, lzd best, but just need watch for shipping issue if buy from senheng

Last hour s25 ultra (256) less than 3.9k on lazflash (with voucher), from senheng lazmall

11.11 , 12.12 should be lower at same lazflash section


Ps: since I prefer to have small S25 as CCD camera replacement for light-sabered s22 green, I got at less than 2.4k with coins S25 silver 256 also from senheng last hour

Still waiting for parts... Fortunately the SC near me allows me to take back my s22 so I can continue using while waiting for parts

What free replacement is this?

You can refer to this
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5453078

Basically if selected models from 2020-2023 (s & note only) got light sabered can replace the screen at norminal labor fee if warranty expired, with conditions such as first time kena light-sabered, never repaired before (no matter from official or outside), no sign of water damaged, no sign of significant cosmetic damage etc

Sure, if S24 Ultra is like 1k lower, like 2.9k. At 3.2k, with only difference 700, I'd rather get the S25 Ultra

I think just take s25 ultra because of newer chipset = better battery

Mobile gadget seller is unsealed one? Can update later when delivered

My s25 from 9.9 flash deal sen heng is sealed (now use same type of paper seal as iPhone tearable with hand), comes with old school dot matrix receipt (typical sen heng old school one even compared to PC shops printed receipt now)


But color a bit off i got sky blue (icy blue) rather than silver (turn out is actually icy blue when check my order history at laz) but I feels like sky blue looks rather nice for me and then all matte frame and back also hold a bit better than s22 and feels a bit lighter too

Coincidentally iPhone air also got sky blue which is also my best favorite color of all 4 ( and black color i do not recommend it at all because it prone to scratches so quickly when I went to apple dealers last week)

Edit because I confused sealed or unseal lol

unsealed one, for my earlier purchase the wrty was activated 3wks before they ship it to me.

That's confirm my "suspection" that mobile gadgets may get phones from Samsung online channel or hidden wholesale channel, and reseller these online

This is why they can manage to get online exclusive colors too

Correct. All non-Ultra S26 will be Exy SoC. So, better get the S25 while stock last and good 512GB promo.
*
Another rumor saying that only basic s26 "pro" 6.2 inch will have exynos 2600 in Europe and south Korea. Not clear if will also affect south Asia/SEA too. Hope it's like s22 when Samsung fail 2nm again and replicate above situation which SEA gets snapdragon s26s

I only want cheaper phone exynos or not... but guess Samsung didnt get the notice. I dont really mind Exynos since I wont be gaming with my Samsung phone with their slow ass charging. Just good enough for work usage and online banking.

Just dont like paying a premium for exynos because it should be cheaper with their own manufacturing. Samsung need to back down to RM3k to their entry level S series.
*
For Entry S (6.2) model i agree. MSRP on higher side just because it targeting at apple base iphone of the time but spec not as attractive even Chinese manufacturer like Xiaomi/vivo has already fight back with more attractive spec, Google pixel with periscope telephoto even on base model (if able to ignore even shitter tensor GPU chip)

So best strategy is to wait for discount/deals few months down the line like I did got for below 2.5k for base s25 last month

1. does sideloading cause any problem with banking app esp mae?
2.i see recommendation on sen heng store..is it safe for online delivery?
*
1. Mae doesn't check side load app so far. Only sometimes check developer settings and can dismiss it to continue

2. Yes it's safe

but if we are using RFID, then it is not possible to use samsung pay right?

other than toll, is there anything that can easily hit the max limit? Thank you
*
RFID for tolls is strictly used with Tng e wallet only AFAIK. Only some highways (LDP, Kesas) got lane for mydebit which can use Samsung pay to tap

Anything can include any shops that accept debit/credit card (for me 99% success rate unless terminal got issues connecting to network eg some TGV terminal)

Including 99, KK, 7E, mcd, KFC, even some parking toll exit with paywave pad (for this depending on malls/office/parking operator implemention, 50/50 chance for me)

Since they use their own fleet - do they show the DHL tracking info in Lazada app? Mine was packed yesterday and it says will handed over to seller fleet soon since yesterday 2pm like that.

No, usually like senheng, when already handled to deliver courier and on the way to delivery, DHL or whatever courier will contact you directly about your purchase parcel

Fyi senheng usually also use third party courier for small thing also eg ninja van
