Hi everyone. I recently got a Galaxy S26 Ultra (512GB) and I’m honestly disappointed with the performance so far.
My device heats up very quickly during normal usage like:
WhatsApp Business
Social media scrolling
General multitasking
Even general use 
The phone also feels laggy/stuttery at times and the battery life is much worse than expected. My previous S24 Ultra actually felt smoother and cooler under the same usage.
Things I already tried:
Updated software
Cleared cache
Optimized apps
Removed case during use
Restarted device multiple times
Still experiencing:
Warm/hot back panel
Fast battery drain
Performance drops
Phone not feeling “flagship smooth”
I’m starting to wonder if my specific unit could be faulty or refurbished. Has anyone else experienced this on the S26 Ultra? Any fixes or should I take it to Samsung for diagnostics/replacement?

When I charge mine to 100%, I can use it for 22 to 24 hours without any battery saving restrictions."

If making calls can take 2 to 3 hours still on 100%
