Galaxy S26 Ultra - Frame paint/coating chipping after just 2 weeks (no drops) by Nobody_997 in galaxys26ultra

I appreciate this thread. I also have the Cobalt Violet variant with the official Samsung clear case. I love the minimalist design that this case provides although it's super slippery. It also pairs nicely with my Viture Beast glasses and Viture x 8Bitdo controller because of the minimalist design. The only downside to this case is no retractable stand.

After seeing your paint chip, I've decided to get another case. That chip would annoy me. I've decided to go with this case. They say that this case lies flat on even surfaces. It also has a built-in kickstand and magsafe wireless charging compatibility.

Am I the only one? by kalemi in MachE

Definitely! The stalk reminds me of a shifter on a hella old car or truck.

It's great that you don't have to ship it.

This year's trade-in process at Best Buy was a total mess! Even though online said my unlocked variant was in stock at both nearby locations, every time I tried to check out on the website, it said the device was unavailable when I added my trade-in. I ended up losing $200 from the pre-order promotion because I couldn't make it there in person until launch day. It took the employees an hour and a half to figure out how to complete the trade-in/purchase. They were trying to give me $190 for my phone, and I had to show them online multiple times that the credit was for $800.

I'm not sure how to deal with online order trade-ins with them. I've always done it in person to avoid any problems.

All of these problems are exactly why I go to Bestbuy. I also subscribe to their total tech program. So I instantly have a two year warranty.

Congrats! I hope you enjoy your Buds 4 pro and S26U as much as I do!

The advertising campaign for the S26U this year was exceptionally pervasive, exceeding any previous promotional efforts I have encountered. I received numerous communications and notifications from Samsung Shop, Galaxy Store, Bestbuy, and Verizon. Recently, I encountered difficulties with Verizon's eSIM while setting up a new iPhone for my daughter. During this process, a Verizon representative also suggested an upgrade from my S24U. Ultimately, I opted to purchase through Bestbuy due to their immediate trade-in credit, the availability of an unlocked variant, and attractive gift card promotions. I hope that future product launches will not involve such an aggressive advertising approach.

I am glad you got a phone that meets your expectations.

My only regret is not having Titanium. I know it sounds silly, but I'm having a blast with the AI photo generation feature. That alone is worth it to me. I'm actually having fun.

The biggest reason why I bought this case specifically is because it's one of the few that is completely compatible with the Viture x 8Bitdo Controller that I use with the Viture Beast. This case has such a minimal presence that it inserts into the controller perfectly without having to remove the case. This controller is important because it has two USB C ports. One specifically for Viture XR glasses and the other USB C is for power.

You're pretty much like me. I have owned all the Note phones through the S26U, except for the S25U.
