Hi Yall, I won the Galaxy Easiest Giveaway ever last month and the items just came today!

Came with s26u, buds 4 pro, 1 year of Spotify premium

Thank you! u/samsungmobileus

I ordered my Samsung refrigerator water filters from Amazon (actual Amazon.com, not a third party seller), but instead of the usual white box, they came in a brown box with no instructions, and no magnetic authentication strip. They had a QR code linked to this sketchy looking app "Samsung Ref Water filter Certi": https://apps.apple.com/us/app/samsung-ref-water-filter-certi/id6746226756 which isn't even produced by Samsung.

First I tried chatting with the online support, but was getting conflicting information. He said the packaging changed, but there should be a magnetic strip. Then I tried calling the telephone customer service, and they just told me the packaging hasn't changed, and that these are fake.

I see some of the reviews on Amazon are also saying this is fake, but others are saying they used the app and believe they are real.

I'm probably going to return them, but they do look pretty real so I was curious if anyone else had any information. If this app is genuine it is wild that Samsung would have some third-party developer create such a suspicious looking app.

I had to get my 77" S90D (QN77S90DAFXZA) repaired after the power supply blew. Luckily, within the 12-month factory warranty. Turns out it got absolutely manhandled by the technician. Later that night, we noticed this black splotch on the display. To no surprise, the screen was cracked with the technician's greasy handprint right over the damage.

After two weeks of waiting, a technician came out and showed me a blurry picture of the home page that the first technician took on his way out. Because of that image they are not claiming responsibility, despite it being in 480p, with a chunk of the TV cropped out and being of the literal home page with a 75% black screen. (Image in video) Hence, canceling my manufacturers warranty due to physical damage and quoting me a $1700 repair bill.

I am waiting for calls back from supervisors at Samsung and Servicequick. I am genuinely tempted to file a civil lawsuit.

Google Messages is cooking up a feature Samsung users will love https://share.google/1m6AUdR17K7SwYxZe

Finally got the new update and airdrop feature is now visible! in the US. I'm sooo happy!

**What's new**

[16.2.44]

- 2x2 widget has been added.

- You can now check the song order in the current playlist when playing randomly.

Samsung as change it Browser name from (Samsung Internet Browser) to "Browser" with OneUi icon looks, this update is available for Android OS 13+ not sure if it's available on the OS 10 to 12

Logo was changed (colors are more vibrant). The main page has a default gradient now. You can change the background, there are many options, also flat colors. But there is no black option, you can still save a flat black image and set it as your background.

Samsung just released the S95H, so I thought it would be a good time to review the S95F along with the rest of my setup (Q990F Soundbar and 2 Music Frames) after half a year of daily driving it.

OLED & The Burn-In Question For starters, I did not believe in OLED. I have always had some concerns about burn-in after my Note8 had the Reddit icons permanently etched into the screen. Is 6 months long enough to definitively test for burn-in? No, it is not. But it is long enough to see how the TV mitigates it.

Samsung has a few features that help keep the panel performing well. The one I notice most frequently is how the TV dims static logos. You won’t notice it when watching the news, but you will absolutely see it working on the Hulu ad countdown.

My usage is about 60-90 minutes of TV per day (about 30 mins of news and 1 hr of other content). I also use features like ambient mode, so when I walk by the TV, it shows a dashboard of news, weather, and SmartThings. This probably adds another 15-30 mins of panel usage a day. As expected for this timeline, I do not see any signs of burn-in or image retention.

Smart Features & Tizen OS I highly recommend taking advantage of the bells and whistles that come with the S95F. For example, using the ambient light sensor to trigger SmartThings routines, like my curtains closing if the TV is on and the room is too bright. You can also use Hue Sync, though the Hue app is paid.

Unfortunately, while I like/tolerate Tizen, I found that the menus are often laggy. It has gotten slightly better with updates, but the S95F still feels slower than my 2022 The Frame, and noticeably slower than the newer S95H. It might just be my specific review unit, as this issue doesn't seem to be incredibly widespread.

S95F First Impressions

Audio Setup: Q990F & Music Frames The S95F's built-in audio is actually pretty good for a TV set. It's perfectly usable even at loud volumes, with good channel and dialogue clarity that easily competes with mid/lower-end soundbars.

I paired the S95F using Q-Symphony to the Q990F [Q990F Review] but I wanted to touch on my experience integrating the Music Frames.

This generation of Q-Symphony can connect with up to 3 devices (now 5 for 2026). I paired the Q990F with 2 Music Frames, placing one on the top left of my S95F and one a few inches to the right. You can use the Music Frames as rears, but I would generally avoid this since dedicated rear speakers are cheaper. Unless you only use one (read below, why that makes sense)

Here are the two biggest things you need to know about the Music Frame:

1. The Soundstage: It is wide . It quickly fills an entire room (anything above volume 8 out of 100 fills a small room).
2. How Q-Symphony Works: With just a TV + Soundbar, the soundbar handles dialogue and directional effects, while the TV handles wider ambient sounds. Add Music Frames to the mix, and the TV + Music Frames handle both, with the frames pushing additional lower frequencies. Add a soundbar, and the dialogue goes to the soundbar.

For music playback paired with the TV and Soundbar, they work to widen the soundstage. On their own? They shine. These frames fill a room with deep, nice-sounding music. It’s a 2.0.0 system supporting ATMOS Music, Dolby 5.1ch, Dolby Digital Plus, Samsung’s SpaceFit room correction, and Voice Amplifier.

Hardware & Customization The hardware is well-built and looks great. They weigh about 5 lbs (buy appropriate wall anchors!) and include high-quality mounting hardware and a table stand. It also comes with a generously long, clear-ish One Connect cable, though an in-wall rated version is sold separately for $50.

You can add a bezel, but I kept mine as is. I did, however, change the photo. You just remove the magnetic cover and drop in any photo. Pro-Tip: The matte is a little less than 8x8, so I highly recommend printing photos in 8x10 to easily align everything with the built-in guides.

Alternatively, you can swap in a 13" x 13" acrylic panel (mounting hardware for this is included in the box). Samsung recommends using Shutterfly for these prints.

The Verdict These are expensive, and the system seems like a big investment when things like Sonos Era 100s (and now the Music Studio 5) exist. But the Music Frame isn’t made for people counting audio channels.

It’s for the people who choose The Frame over an OLED. It’s for people who want Alexa without having an Echo (it has a built-in Matter hub and Alexa). Does it make sense with my S95F and Q990F? Yes, because they looks fantastic on my wall. That won’t be the case for everyone, not everyone wants their TV area to look like a "non-TV area." Ultimately, it will make the most sense for people who already own The Frame or The Frame Pro, since those built-in speakers are less capable than the S95 line. It will also make sense for anyone looking for an alternative to the discontinued Sonos Ikea wall speakers, or anyone that values form & function.

Disclosure: This review was made possible with a review unit loan from Samsung, but no money, posting obligations, or any kind of sponsorship. Obviously, no copy approval either. If you have any questions about the S95F/H, Q990F/H, Music Frame, Studio5/7, I am happy to answer them (or ask Samsung if I don't know)

I had originally gotten a 98" QLED on sale for about $1350. Had too many issues with it, and Samsung ended up reimbursing me for the entire pre-sale price (Shout out to Samsung Customer Support!). Since the reimbursement had to be used at the same time, I ended up paying another $500 to replace most of the TVs in the house with OLEDs.

In the end I spent about $1900 for what would've been $10k worth of New TVs.

What's the best deal you've gotten, through either shear luck or through scrupulous searching?
