The pictures are oversaturated but also they don’t look very good, it’s kind of like they have a filter over them (which they don’t).
Got a tip for us?

There are their party apps that you can get watch faces for the Apple Watch. I use one called buddy watch. You can download it from the watch store.
I agree the screen you view the pictures on makes a huge difference. Also I know that having used the iPhone exclusively since 2014 I’ve developed a bias for the way pictures look that are taken with an iPhone and displayed on an iPhone. I remember when I had my galaxy note 10+ I was disappointed with the picture quality. However after I’d returned my galaxy note 10+ I viewed the pictures I’d taken with it on my iPhone 11 Pro Max and they looked completely different and much more appealing to me. A lot of it is due to bias and what you are used to. When I switched to the iPhone in 2014 after using Samsung phones for 2.5 years I didn’t like the cameras and the way pictures looked on the iPhone. Over time I got accustomed to the iPhones take on photography.
a mate of mine has the pros and he's very impressed. automatic switching works well from the sounds and ANC is better. sound better than the live. didn't you get the pros included with your S21 Ultra then?
Thanks! No I already had the Lives, so I got a bunch of cases instead. I'm pretty happy with the Live but just wasn't sure if the Pros were THAT much better.
Galaxy S21 Ultra triumphs with a very narrow win in our blind camera comparison
Galaxy S21 Ultra goes toe-to-toe with the iPhone 12 Pro Max, Note 20 Ultra, and Pixel 5 in our blind camera comparison.

That would be just my luck. If it persists over the next couple of weeks, I will send it back. I preferred the Note in terms of design. The S pen is good and feels more substantial in the hand, but not being able to insert it into the phone is a big disadvantage.
The Watch is a no, that I’m sure of. That is a big thing for me, especially since I use my Apple Watch for fitness. The Galaxy Watch 3 isn’t as accurate for that. I’m going to be training for the London marathon (not taking place until 3rd October) and so I need the accuracy and the Apple Watch is a much better fitness tracker and just better overall smart watch.
It’s too early to tell at the moment, I still have time with these devices but if it persists, I will return them and stick to iPhones and Apple Watches.
I've had all three and kept the Plus. The Pros are nice, but among other things are no longer supported on iOS. Added a pair of Comply foam tips and the Plus do a great job blocking external noise ?
Haha kind of what I was thinking. Once it warms up I'm going to start running again and I'm a little nervous about the Buds Live falling out. The Pros are more similar to the AirPod Pros that I loved so much.I don’t think the differences are massive but still better is better
Agreed couldn’t use buds live working out as didn’t feel secure in running with them
If both watches show difference in the fitness results, how do you know the Apple Watch is more accurate?
Genuinely curious and I’m an Apple Watch 6 user, so hoping you’re right.
I have both. They are nowhere near the same. I tend to carry my Pros in my day to day, and on a plane. At home, I tend to use the Lives, because I don't care about blocking out outside noise.
It depends on what's "better" to you. For me, I was carrying my Buds+ as my daily driver over my Lives. I prefer the seal over the open design of the Lives. So of course now with the Pro's, I feel the same way. Also, due to the difference in the way they sit in your ear, I've found you get better sound in the Pros than with the Lives. On top of that, I like to travel, and I ALWAYS pack buds to wear on the plane to block out the noise around me. With the Lives, it's not great for doing that, unless you crank the music up. With the Pro's I don't really have to blast the music to block out the noise. Just playing something with low volume is good enough.I don’t think the differences are massive but still better is better
We've noticed a difference here too. My girl's AW gives significantly different results than what my watch gives. What drew our attention to it was she was always feeling like she'd walked more than what her watch was saying she had. Then one day we were out walking together, and our results weren't close to identical. At that point, we figured something might be up. We eventually tested it by walking the route I usually take the dogs on. That route is right around 2 miles. Her watch came in at something ridiculous like .8 miles or something like that. My phone and my watch both had roughly identical readings, along with my work phone. At that point we determined her watch's readings weren't reliable.
Ordered the Buds Pro. Looking forward to doing a comparison!
God the battery drain on the s21 ultra is insane.
Yesterday I was at work, outside of the wifi zone, so my phone was on 5G. I was listening to podcasts while I was busy, but didn't turn on the screen for a few hours.
It dropped 50% in battery by mid afternoon just sitting on a table.

how’s the battery life of the mini compared to S21 ultra?
I’m getting used to 12 mini size as well (fits so nicely) but the battery life and screen is certainly making me considering s21u.
on the other hand, I’ve read some s21u(exynos) has overheating issues etc so....
The S21U is definitely better, still early for me, but I’d say 20-25% longer. My mini has been surprisingly decent! The 12 mini is starting to feel like a keeper to me.
