      its the leica leitz phone version, not xiaomi 17 ultra

      ​​@wingid im very unimpressed by both Samsung and Xiaomi in this generation. Generational scam like iPhone 17

      And the worst part is the prices didnt drop on either in official sources.

    I can’t trust anyone that still uses androids navigation buttons

    Samsung S26 Ultra is sniffing at the 17 Ultra butts

    2 thousand euros Damn, that’s too much.

    No

    yeah…. as a photographer, not impressed… 100% not worth the price. FYI: Samsungs have had 200MegaPix cameras for 3 years now, with good detailing for a phone. Can’t see where this one excels.

    • @MLSphotography

      February 28, 2026 at 6:22 pm

      look at other brands, Samsung is always the worst phone I stopped buying them after S 23 Ultra ! The leader is still Huawei even limited in some areas and hard to get ! But you also get it for half of the price if you really want a good camera !

  9. @MLSphotography

    February 28, 2026 at 6:14 pm

    I don’t think it could be better then Huawei Pura 80 Ultra ! with half of the price !

  10. @IO-zg8md

    February 28, 2026 at 6:15 pm

    Ok. I’m going to have to sell my iPhone 17 pro max then …

    February 28, 2026 at 7:17 pm

    These crypto chart guys have no idea what they are talking about. ETH, XRP, BTC have the same charts because it’s all being manipulated. XAICORE is the real mover and we are still early.

  12. @RoomCowart

    Locked in $30,000 XAICORE tokens today. Feels risky but I trust Elon and the momentum.
