Galaxy users are pretty upset that Samsung removed the Smart Select Edge Panel in One UI 6.1.1. We let our frustrations out and provide a more complicated work around for GIF creation on your Galaxy phone in the meantime.

Apple held one of the most intensely boring smartphone launches of all time on 9/9. We discuss the innovation or lack thereof in the new iPhone 16 Pro, plus debate whether Samsung should continue down the dangerous path of targeting Apple with their marketing strategies. All of that, plus your questions and a few pieces of new hardware. Please, join us!

This week we have a fresh controversy to explore - paint is peeling on certain Samsung models, including the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Samsung has a funny excuse for why this is happening (Hint: it didn't come in your box when you bought your phone). We also have numerous new leaks about the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition (the new name for the Z Fold 6 Slim/Ultra). Samsung is gearing up to launch a better fold just months after the Z Fold 6, and we're not too happy about it.

In the second half of the show, we dive into One Hand Operation+, one of Samsung's best Good Lock modules. We're also taking a look at the new Bowers and Wilkins Pi8 headphones, and answering some great questions about the marketing of foldables going forward in our Q&A segment. All of that and more, so get to listenin' already!

We dive into the nitty-gritty of the Galaxy Watch Ultra's comfort and fit, especially the new Marine Band, and compare it to previous models. Despite some initial concerns, the watch impresses us with its bright, clear display, crucial for sunny environments. We also discuss the challenges of navigating the digital interface, the absence of the rotating bezel, and the potential improvements like a rotating crown with haptic feedback. Our conversation touches on the practical removal of reverse wireless charging, the functionality of pinch gestures, and the impressive ambient light sensor. We also share a funny story about a fingerprinting requirement at Best Buy, all while providing a balanced review of the watch's features and performance.

After the Watch Ultra review, we also tackle first impressions of the Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6, Buds 3 Pro, and more! Plus, One UI 7.0 is really taking shape and we have more leaks to share!
