Hello fellow K-pop fanatics! Do you ever get bummed when you end up in the nosebleed seats? When your bias looks like a tiny speck on stage and your iPhone’s zoomed-in footage turns into a bunch of pixels, it really hurts... 😭
But I got smart this time! Before heading to Korea to see the artists in person, I discovered that Creatrip actually offers rentals of the newest Samsung S26 Ultra! Today I’ll share with you just how insane this 'concert telescope' really is, and the whole rental process!
✨ Why choose to rent a device from Creatrip?
As a longtime fan who goes to concerts a lot, I used to think about buying a Samsung just to shoot concerts, but the price was way too steep (almost NT$50,000!). Then I discovered the Creatrip platform:
Super new models: they even have the newly released S26 Ultra!
Pickup and return super convenient: you can pick up the device right at Incheon Airport or in Seoul Station, grab the phone right after landing and head straight to the venue, it’s incredibly convenient and on the way.
Affordable price: With a small rental fee you can get your idol footage in 4K quality, it’s a bargain no matter how you add it up.
Language barrier-free: Chinese interface and easy customer service communication, no need to worry about not knowing Korean.

My seat this time was in the third-tier stands (yes, the kind where even the big screen feels far away). But the moment I pulled out the S26 Ultra, I knew I had won.
1. 150x zoom: you can even capture your idol's eyelashes
The S26 Ultra's AI enhancement is seriously next-level tech! Before, 100x would get blurry, now I zoom to 150x and the image still stays clear. When the oppa walked onto the extended stage and I zoomed in, you could even see his sweat and the sequins on his clothes crystal clear! The girl next to me was stunned watching my screen.
2. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)
Everyone knows concerts get you so excited your hands can shake, but the S26 Ultra's image stabilization is insanely good. Even when I was holding a lightstick and filming at the same time, the footage was as smooth as if it had a gimbal, with none of that 'shaky earthquake' feel.
3. Low-light shooting: not afraid of night concerts
Many phones fall apart as soon as indoor lighting gets dim, with noise all over the place. After the S26 Ultra’s upgraded light-sensitive components, even when stage lighting changes a lot, the idol’s face still looks bright and clear, not burned black or overexposed.
💡 Quick rental tips for fangirls
If you also want to rent a device on Creatrip, be sure to pay attention to these points:
Book early: Concert season (for example the days when shows are at Seoul Station) gear is really hard to get, so we recommend placing your order as soon as you get your ticket!
Prepare a memory card/cloud storage: Recording a concert can easily take hundreds of GB, so remember to bring a high-capacity memory card, or upload the footage to cloud storage at your hotel as soon as you finish filming.
Get familiar with the controls: On the first night you get the device, practice in your hotel how to switch lenses and lock focus, so you won’t be flustered inside the venue.
