I have been a samsung user since day one. Have used all of their phones. I was using S20 ultra for quite a while so I decided to switch to the galaxy S26 ultra. And honestly it's a great alround device. But I think they seriously need to upgrade their ultra wide lens. It produces a lot of noise at night and when iam recording at night with ultra wide lens and then zoom in. When it switches to its main 1x sensor there's a day and night difference in quality in the same video I mean it's pretty consistent with the other 3 lenses but that ultra wide is not that great. In short the camera of this phone didn't impress me as much as i was expecting. And BTW iam in love with the new APV codec log videos and the pre-installed luts.

Couldn't agree more. They should level up their S series. Instead, we are seeing downgrades for the past few years

Samsung still earning alot by selling out dated hardware .so why they would bother to upgrade dont have high hopes .as long as people keep buying they wont upgradd cameras or other much needed hardware upgrades

I think you're right. As a samsung lover I couldn't agree more. I love my S26 ultra its a great great phone in every aspect but just that one thing the ultra wide lens makes me feel like I have made the wrong choice. It's really sad. I think samsung and apple both are just being lazy because they had their own different fan bases and now they know that their phones will sell like hotcakes even when they don't do massive upgrades. They seriously need to worry now.

Yup I think I should've gone for the S25 ultra instead. I know that also doesn't have Bluetooth for the S pen. But it's basically the same phone as the galaxy S26 ultra but for a really good price.
