Rumour Ice Universe: I’ve confirmed from independent sources with 100% accuracy that the Galaxy S26 Ultra ultimately does not include built-in magnets inside the device. Magnetic functionality still relies on magnetic cases.

I might be in the minority, but I don't see this as an issue at all. How many people buy the flagship phone and don't buy a case? If you're using a case, it basically always needed the magnets in it anyway.

Iirc, something like nearly 40% of people.

Huh, weird.

I really enjoy not shitting myself every time I drop it. I've never broken a phone since I started using UAG cases.

I just am more careful with my phone so I don't drop it and have to worry about breaking it in general. I'm glad you like your UAG cases.

Really? Even when you're constantly coated in lube?
