Luckily I haven't had any urges to switch back to iOS. I still think it needs a huge overhaul!
Got a tip for us?

Don't know what you could possibly mean? They've made the icons transparent in ios 26. What more could you want? 🤣🤣🤣
I just got the S25 Ultra so I don't have an interest of going back to IOS. Also, I found out you can bring Liquid Glass to the Samsung through Home Up but why would you want that? I'm perfectly fine with what Android is doing (I even went back to the Niagera Launcher for a while just to change things up). I just look forward to One UI 8, and maybe I do buy a new car next year and get wireless Android Auto (Not the only reason, I also want AWD and a Hybrid car).
Can anyone recommend good Youtube channels for home customization and just using the phone better. I follow channels like Hayl's world, Jeff Springer, Created by Ella, Thao's World, SamMobile (Which I think might be the best) and Sam Beckman. The problem I have with customization videos is they get to talk about that KWGT app (Or whatever it's called) and then I get severely lost. The video might as well just end there because the rest won't matter. Also, I am getting a little tired of the usage of the worlds "Massive Update" (Jeff uses that all the time) or just any kind of clickbait title. It's one of the reason I don't follow Sakitech anymore.
The only negative about not using IOS is I felt like Zollotech was the best Apple Reviewer on Youtube. He was always so clear with everything and while he did get close to the line on clickbait titles for is Saturday stuff, I never felt like he crossed it.

It used to be but with such minor incremental changes, at least to the pro phones over the past few years, even I don't feel any pull to a new iPhone. This was the first year I didn't feel at least a small urge to upgrade and didn't--still using my 15 Pro Max. And I barely have a clue about what rumored changes are coming this year. A rumored thin phone and some designed changes to the camera bump but what else?
I am intrigued by Apples take on a foldable but that still a year out. Only phones I might be getting are either a Pixel 10 Pro Fold or maybe the Samsung trifold if it becomes a reality.
Got bored and recently got myself S25 Edge. Loving the change of OS, lighter weight compared to 15PM and being able to do customizations like setting animation speeds down to 0 to make using the phone feel instantaneous.
Simple things like having 5 icons per row on the home screen, clipboard history, universal back gesture, 1-click tap to paste copied content make the experience enjoyable.

ok cool. I prefer UpNote for cross-platform note-taking. Fast, lightweight in spite of being an Electron app on the Mac, a small one-time payment, active community (on Reddit) and frequently updated with new features.

Anyone here using DeX?
Would you say it can be okay as a computer replacement for content watching and absolutely basic things like writing and so on?

I've used it occasionally and found it to be fine for things similar to your use case.
We are getting close to September. Hopefully the official release comes out around that time.
So if Apple's event is on the 9th, I bet around that time Samsung will release the OneUI 8 update to the S25 series.
Well good thing for having two phones, my S25U camera isn't working(just shows a black screen) it's going back to Samsung for repair.
Has there been any updates on the release of One UI 8? With the apple event next week I would think it should be close to happening.
Came out yesterday for the S25 FE:
Stable One UI 8 is finally here for one Galaxy S25 phone, the rest still have to wait
Samsung was reserving the stable One UI 8 update for its shiny new Galaxy S25 FE. Other Galaxy S25 flagships are still on the waiting list.

The Ultra has to wait until after the FE to get an update? I thought the reason for buying the ultra was to get the latest and greatest first. It is (I thought) their flagship phone.
I’m the same. I understand the fold 7 launching with one UI 8 but really expected the s25 ultra update to be pretty much the same time or only a little after. Now the s25 FE has it and there’s no real sign of it for the s25 ultra
I’ve been getting the urge to try the pixel 10 pro XL for a change from the Samsung
I've given in to the urge and jumped ship. Pixel 10 Pro XL delivery tomorrow.
I’d be interested on your thoughts when you have the timeI've given in to the urge and jumped ship. Pixel 10 Pro XL delivery tomorrow.
