I've experienced this as well with my S26 ultra. I had it about a week before it randomly overheated (it was sitting on my desk). Then it did again while I was listening to audible. Never had that problem with my S24 ultra.

Absolutely. I'm noticing that taking pictures seems to cause my phone to overheat. It is not plugged in so it's not the charger causing the issue.

I also upgraded from the S24 ultra to the S26 ultra. My phone was 11 days old when it severly overheated. I even got a minor  burn on my hand when I picked it up off the table. I couldn't even hold it. The phone was never dropped, wet or damaged in any way. I only use an authentic Samsung cord and power block. I even purchased the Samsung fast charging block that specifically went to this S26. My phone was sent back to Samsung for replacement. I am currently waiting. It has been a slow process. I have purchased nothing but Samsung for many years and this is the first time I have had an issue. I hope Samsung fixes this issue so others don't go through the same thing. It is upsetting when you buy something new, only made one payment and it is defective. I want to use my new phone ๐Ÿ˜ช

I believe my phone already went to that specialized team of engineers and they are working on it. I am hopeful that they will figure out the problem so it doesn't happen to others. I sent them photos of the phone and injury, video of the purple lines, reciepts and I answered some questions. I am praying I will get an email tomorrow that a replacement is on it's way ๐Ÿ™ It was an amazing phone until this happened. Happy Easter ๐Ÿฐ
