The add-on filters for the lenses are fun to play with.

Too bad the software is usually garbage… And also the display is from BOE, not Samsung.

  Samsung limited how bright their new M14 panel can get, due to concerns of burn in. Other brands are getting up to ridiculous numbers that will degrade the panel and burn in really quick.

  It’s an LTPO OLED which can achieve higher nits than Samsung S24 Ultra. Also slightly higher DPI. But in daily use probably difficult to really tell the displays apart

Agreed, using one now to comment ???? Camera is brilliant. I have the Sony A7R V and now I only bring that out when I’m doing paid photography. This I take everywhere else. Very impressive

AT&T and Verizon actively block these phones in the US and if it’s not whitelisted aka sold by them (except iphone obviously) you will not get any service. 2/3rds of US carriers…. free market huh…

There is no such thing as the perfect pitch. But you can get close by implementing a few research-backed methods to your delivery, deck, and message.

In this episode of Build Mode, host Isabelle Johannesen sits down with Dr. Eike Gerhardt, who has aPhD in pitching and spent nearly a decade studying the science of startup pitching before starting Autopoiesis Sciences. And he’s joined by Demetri Maxim, co-founder and CEO of Nephrogen, who came in second at TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 2025.

Together, they break down Demetri’s actual Startup Battlefield pitch to unpack what worked, what could be improved, and what research tells us about how investors respond to founders. Eike explains why credibility signals matter, how technical founders can simplify without oversimplifying, and why Q&A should be treated as a second pitch. Demetri shares how he learned to explain complex biotech to generalist investors, how redesigning his deck changed his confidence onstage, and what he would do differently today.
They also explore how body language and authenticity affect a pitch, how investor questions can reveal bias, and how founders can use AI to prepare for difficult Q&A.
