Samsung needs to work out a way that those magnets don't interfere with the S-Pen, my co-workers S26 ultra and my S24 ultra both don't work with a Pop-Socket attach. You just get a big mostly empty circle when drawing with it on, was a vary disappoint to have wasted money on a accessory i can hardly use. Plus I have to warn customers when they buy the Ultra, that strong magnets interfere with the Pen.

"China's Ultra phones have consistently been the best Android devices in the past couple of years"


The people in China don't buy home grown Ultra's so who are you trying to convince? No manufacturer sells more premium phones outside of their home market.

I'm actually ok keeping my Ultra 17 Leica Edition for another year. Such a banger of a phone. Just wish it had a lens attachment like the X300 Ultra

It will be funny when non ultra phone like Xiaomi 17 Pro will be better than S27 Ultra.

What do you mean? Samsung has almost no sales in China, not even in top 5. Huawei, Vivo and Oppo are ruling the place there and their phones are amazing. Way better than Samsung's crap. From the other hand the US doesn;t import chinese phones as they are "communist products". This is a joke of a country

Samsung and the US have nothing to do with Xiaomi's premium sales in China. That's why Xiaomi is putting this phone on a hiatus just like they put their fold on hiatus.

If Xiaomi cannot sell enough Ultra's in China to justify its existence, that isn't anyone's fault except Xiaomi. They need to take advantage of home court.

Yes, because the Chinese Ultras have been giving Samsung such tough competition...

This you? Sure, it's from 2025, but it doesn't look like much of a competition to me:

So, the Chinese Ultras are still available worldwide as of now. What's the excuse for this, then? Why jump to 2027 when the “now” apparently isn't looking particularly rosy for them either? 😏
