After spending nearly a year with the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Samsung faces a significant challenge in convincing me (and everyone else) that the Galaxy S26 Ultra is the phone to beat in 2026. I’ve put the S25 Ultra to the test against other best phone contenders on the market, but there’s one specific feature Samsung desperately needs to update for its next flagship. And it has nothing to do with Galaxy AI.
What’s frustrating is that it should be an easy update, yet it's one the company has neglected for several generations. I’m referring to Samsung DeX, the desktop-like experience that activates whenever a Galaxy flagship is connected to an external display.
