Since I received it I've had trouble making and receiving calls using Android Auto connected to my car. No problem with prior phone or other family member phones. Also coverage doesn't seem as good with all 3 phones I recently purchased. I'm now trying with 5G Standalone turned off
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Samsung has been my phone for almost 12 years, I use a Samsung phone and a apple tablet and I think everyone would be so happy if they did the same. Good luck to everyone out there figuring it all out.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is a great phone. My last two phones were Google Pixel Pro XL 9 and 10. Definitely glad I switched. Much better phone. I love it!
I had the Galaxy S23 and upgraded to this. It seems to work the exact same as my S23 (camera is definitely better) except that I cannot get my phone to connect to my car Bluetooth. It's insanely frustrating. Other than that, works great.
