So just been on the Internet checking some stuff out and I'm seeing a lot of S26 Ultras being returned?

Whats up with this?

The usual where people review them and return them
Its about that time returns go back

Eyes straining, fault displays. Someone posted pictures of their eyes, just like from a horror 😬

This is why I see the S25U and S24U as the better devices

Also I saw very bad battery sot. But, many are very satisfied with S26 ultra too. Very big difference in quality, how is that? 🤔

Whilst I am happy with thr S25 Ultra think the problems are overplayed on Tech sites/social Media. Obviously some havr issues with the display/eye strain mind you. A number will always return.

I believe you, many are satisfied, but it's really a bit confusing to see such a big difference in quality. I've seen some amazing pictures taken with S26 ultra, but also some that are mildly terrifying.

I have been testing it for a week and I cannot say that I am not satisfied with it. It does everything without stuttering, only using lightly so far and with the wifi turned on all the time it consumed 40% in 6 days, but bear in mind I only used the Internet and the camera but no long SOT as I am still using my S25U. Screen wise I cannot say there is much difference from S25U comparing the colours and the brightness, I can see it better in bright natural light than the S25U. Camera wise it's better too, not having any issues, except that it heats up even while doing Security Updates but maybe it's still during the learning process.

I went from a s25u to a s26u.

Wasn't going to upgrade at all to be fair but I got a great price with a 3 contract.

I've used the phone now and find it to be a fantastic upgrade.

For me:

Camera is considerably better, my images come out looking great.
60w changing has been a game changer for me, charging my phone in around 45 mins is fantastic.
The screen is much brighter.

As for me, I love the S26 Ultra and mine is just working fine. Perhaps it is the shift to a lot of AI and the new inbuilt privacy screen that people are not used to? I suggest they look at the various reviews about it on YouTube.
