While I like the size of the S26 Ultra, the AI is too much. All the pop-ups and notifications are tedious and disruptive. It's very time consuming to have to go into each individual app to turn them off or set them up differently so it's similar to my previous S24.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

If you get a Samsung device just remember, their support team is probably one of the worst in modern society. I recommend anyone considering this device research the Samsung support issues. If you ever have an issue with your phone you will have to rely on at&t or other local IT experts as their support team have the combined IQ of a doorknob.
Outside of the fact that every year is just a small upgrade vs the last (and they almost assuredly could do more per year), the phone is still always one of the best all around phones on the market when it comes out.

I'm so in love with this phone🥰😍🤩... I call it the BAD AND BOUJEE phone because it's a "Your phone don't have this kinda feature phone"😄... better than the iPhone if you ask me😂.. I can't keep it out my hands... the rating for this phone right now is top of the charts... I strongly recommend this phone if you are a android kinda person like myself.
