I'm a fan of this new look especially if it means no more wobble. I use my devices case-free.

Too bad we'll have to wait until February '27 to know about the S27 Pro. It'll be difficult to resist upgrading to the Pixel 11 or iPhone 18 Pro during that wait. Waiting for all three to be out would lead to the best decision...
Wobble never really bothers me as I don't use my phone much while it is laying flat but the camera array has long been a pain. Hard to use a portable magnetic charger with it. As good as the battery is, I still like to have a portable charger on long days when I'm away from an outlet such as last weekend when we were at Universal in Florida. We stayed at the park open to close. Crowded so I'm sure the towers were stressed and it was taking a beating while inside buildings trying to maintain signal. Battery was at about 12% when we got back to the car.

Wow, still pretty great that it lasted the entire day.

Agree, another benefit of the new camera array would be for magnetic charging and accessories.

May update is out in the uk
 
just returned mine. Camera dust
Are you getting another one in return? I purchased 3 or 4 of them at best Buy due to camera quality issues before getting perfectly Good cameras,/optics. This is normally the reason why I don't ever buy cell phones on or near release date. I usually wait several months for the quality control to improve before getting one. That's exactly what I did with my iphone, i waited three months before purchasing.

Have owned every single phone mentioned in that list and never returned 1!

I'm not one who overly inspects their phone to the n-th degree though.

I think I've only ever returned one device ever, I forget which phone it was exactly, think it was the Galaxy S4 for randomly shutting down and rebooting.

I have zero issues with any of my phones. I am bored with the samsung however. It's not speaking to me. My pixel 8 pro is my go to. If I added a launcher and stuff to the 26 ultra I may change my mind, but it's my work device and samsung want's me to stay stock with it to showcase them. There's nothing wrong, but just "boring".

I looked out of sheer curiosity. This goes all the way back to 2009 and iPhone 3G! That has got to be the worst tech luck I've ever seen.
