Absolutely junk. It acts more like a data-collecting robot than a phone. It freezes and gets overwhelmed as AI works in the background to capture what the user is doing. smartphone
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello there. Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has been frustrating and that you are encountering freezing issues.
To help clear up those background freezes, you can try giving the phone a quick restart or going into Settings > Device Care to tap Optimize Now to close out stuck apps. You can also turn off or adjust the background features by heading to Settings > Advanced Features > Advanced Intelligence.
If it's still acting up after that, please reach out to our team on X (@ATTHelp), Instagram (@att), or Facebook (AT&T) so we can take a closer look at what's going on.

Phone is alright. Not quite as useful as pixel is. The call screen is functional, no where near as polished as on pixel. Voice to text isn't as polished as pixel. Cameras appear about the same. The pen is nice, but not as useful as the s22 pen was. Samsung removed features. I bouth this over a pixel due to games and the watch is better for medical issues than pixels. Only way to get better medical stuff is through ios and i am not a fan of apple. So here i am.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Its been great with very little to no issues. The camera is great but at times doesn't seem to be as good as the s24 ultra. But the video is super clear which is nice.
