This is good to see, but as Welch notes, the lack of stylus support is a real miss here.
As a Samsung user myself, Iβd obviously just look to the Galaxy Fold, although not being able to store the stylus onboard (without a case) does suck.
All that said, Iβm very happy with my S23 Ultra for editing photos. Yeah Iβve gotta zoom in a lot, but itβs not that big a pain. I actually start most of my Sony A7RV edits in Lightroom on my phone, only moving to desktop when I need to switch to Photoshop for final edits.
Any mobile photo editors in our growing community here?
When I got my first Samsung tablet I never thought that Iβd be using the sylus ever. Boy was I wrong. My next phone will be a Note, just for the stylus.
I went from a Samsung to a Pixel. I appreciate the camera on the Pixel. It produces pictures closer to how I like them. But I really miss being able to use dex with a monitor to adjust them.
Iβve heard a rumor the next Pixel phone may have USB-C DP Alt-Mode which would mean you could plug it into the same USB-C docks with video output that you use for your PC.
Iβve seen this rumored as well. It would be a welcome addition to the devices IMHO.
Iβd go for an even larger display than my S23U without being foldable. I used to start off with LR CC but have been spoiled by DXO PhotoLab 6 and its crazy good noise processing. Also frustrating that LR CC runs significantly better on an iPad Pro M1 than Android or Windows (daily drove various Surface Pro for years).
After a few recent photo shoots, edited photos on the go on Pixel Fold, mostly in Google Photos. AI tools and basic adjustments are great (with Google One subscription) and you get ready to share album in the end. Snapseed if I need more detailed edit.
It works, but far from perfect yet. Screen space is not used efficiently, device starts to heat up after long use of internal screen, lack of stylus.
Looking to buy Samsung tablet, waiting for Tab S8 series to be announced to compare.
@koorool @mikestevens Tab S6 Lite (2022) is the budget winner hands down.
I used to edit on phones back in the day, but since I spend most of my time these days in front of a PC, I just edit it directly on there.
I really do like the Pixel Fold though. Interesting device, and is looking to do something new that Pixels (or Nexus) have never done.
