Who is waiting for the S26 Ultra?

[Rose4uKY]

may i ask if anyone saw anything about when they might release the S26 Ultra?

late January? February? March?

it's so strange that every single year, my lastest phone would work generally well until around late summer or fall, maybe around Sept or Oct. then, something goes wrong and it takes frequent rebooting to get things going smoothly again. yet, when i upgrade annualy around 1Q of every year, the new phone using smartswitch to transfer data over would work smoothly and be very fast for a few months.

sigh. i wonder if that's a hidden way they th ey make our phones have built-in planned obsolescence?

thanks!

Well I watch videos on You Tube all every day about the 26 LOL! Now they are saying they are back on track for late January to order and Feb release date I believe. We own our 24U and I'm excited about upgrading actually. The 25 didn't interest me but this does. The QI2 wireless at 25 if it really happens and being able to buy cute cases with the magnet built in. The 60W charging and privacy screen. I just got a bonus at work so I will get us both one when it comes out me and my husband. This is no big deal but it excites me they are now saying there will be a purple one. I saw the leaked wallpapers .I just hope Samsung has some good pre-order deal at least free memory upgrade and I want to try the new Buds Pro4 and get a good charging dock maybe a trio that does the 25W which I know will be expensive.

@Rose4uKY

thanks for your update.

may i please request that you continue to let us know if you find anything particularly noteworthy re: the S26 Ultra please?

i also look at the youtube update videos but almost all of them are very basic info, nothing really worthwhile. look forward to seeing what you might unearth!

thank you.

Researched things quite a bit this weekend. January 28th seems to be the most likely date for the S26 series line to be released. Nothing is confirmed, but most of the articles out there point towards that date.

the link in my last post above says that they crippled the S26 and S26+ in order to make the S26 Ultra look less bad!!! i wonder if that's really true and that the S26 Ultra is really that lackluster?

I read that weird how they are doing that and giving the Ultra AI features and not on the other 2. Usually it's all models and the older models like the 25 would get it months later. But as far as I know and what I believe is the 60W charging and QI2 25W wireless and privacy screen. And bigger aperture in camera I mean it's ok specs but for me it's exciting and I am getting it and really want to see what the purple ends up looking like. I was going to try out one UI 8.5 beta maybe when it comes to the 24 I did that with one UI 8. It's out for the 25's now.

Yes I read that also it's on my hubby's birthday and the release date is mid Feburary I read probably by the 11th or 12th I just know I hope it's before my Anniversary on Valentines Day cause he's taking me to see Brett Michaels.

It really doesn't make sense you would think they would want all 3 models to do well. But a lot of people won't care they some just don't like big phones. I never used to and wasn't a Note fan at all tired one the 8 hated it too big. But than I tried a pop socket and love the Ultras now and watching videos on the big screen. My husband was asking about the screen. I said I wasn't familiar with it but it said it will have M14 OLED and some other feature he said OLED is good.

Is 60W that much better than 45W for charging speed?

The difference will be negligible!

I just read an article on the Oneplus 15, it charged its 7300mah battery from empty to full with 120 watts in 41 minutes and with a 55 watt charger it was 50 minutes.

So from 45 to 60 watts I wouldn't be bothered.
