    So when we start receiving shipments??

    My 1TB Cobalt Blue came around 2:10 this afternoon. I decided to use Smart Switch via cable and it only took about 10 minutes. It went smooth, but of course you'll have to sign in many apps again. Nova launcher transferred, but I had to restore from my backup file plus I had to install Nova...

    Use Smart Switch or do clean setup on S26 Ultra

    You may very well be right. When you first power up the phone, it's on a "let's get started" screen. I assume you'll have to add your wifi and Google account before it will get to the home screen where you can access Smart Switch? I've only tried it one time and I can't remember. I'm sure I'll...

    Use Smart Switch or do clean setup on S26 Ultra

    I assume you have to go through a partial setup before you can get to the Play Store to download the Smart Switch app to the new, phone,. Also some say to leave the Sim card in the old phone until setup is complete? Others say they put the Sim card in the new phone right away. I guess either or...

    When I got my S25 Ultra I used Smart Switch to transfer data from my S23 Ultra. The only problem was that I did not get notifications and had to uninstall and reinstall every app. With my new S26 Ultra arriving Monday, I'm wondering should I trust Smart Switch. I would like to hear from users...

    Houston, we have a serious (display) problem!

    Privacy was off as was adaptive brightness. Both phones set to maximum brightness. I don't think it will be a big deal for most people. But, if you were expecting a bigger, better and brighter display it isn't.

    Houston, we have a serious (display) problem!

    Ok I just came from. Best Buy. The S26 Ultra display is a little dimmer than the S25 Ultra but the difference seemed minimal and acceptable to me. I did not see any blurry text. I watched YouTube, checked some websites and took a few photos. Pictures I took in the store were sharp and crisp. I...

    Houston, we have a serious (display) problem!

    Now some YouTubers are showing a vertical green line running the length of the display. I hope it's just a fluke on a couple of units. I'll check mine carefully and send it right back if there are tissues.

    Who is still using a S23 series phone?

    I'm still using mine. My screen developed several dead pixels so I had the screen replaced plus a new battery. The phone is like new. I plan to keep it for several more years.

    Google Play Services update

    Is everyone's S25 Ultra stuck on July 1st Google Play Services update? Mine is unlocked on AT&T. I've tried clearing data and cache and uninstalling updates, but Google Play Services still won't update. Am I missing something?
