Episode notes
Peak Charging Requires Samsung Charger
- Battery life and charging on the S26 Ultra are strong but peak charging speeds require a Samsung-specific charger.
- Howell warned you won't get the highest speeds from generic chargers because proprietary hardware is needed.
Horizon Lock Uses 8K To Stabilize 4K Video
- Horizon Lock leverages an 8K sensor to crop and stabilize 4K video, keeping the horizon steady and enabling auto-framing.
- Howell called it a magical creator feature that makes shaky handheld footage much smoother by using an 8K canvas.
Turn Off Privacy Display At Home
- Avoid leaving Privacy Display on in controlled environments because it narrows viewing angles and can hide content unexpectedly.
- Howell recommends turning it off at home or on a table to avoid moments when you can't see the time or notifications.
