Why? Why does every phone have UWB technology but you refuse to put it on the base. The iPhone has been doing this on their base for years. I don't want to carry a TV in my pocket just so I can have UWB technology. It's 2026. I'm missing out on features on my other products because you're not including this. I can't tell the difference in shape between the S26 and the iPhone but I can definitely tell the difference when I approach a UWB capable device. iPhone for the win yet again.
Phone integration or lack thereof with the rest of the world is on the company and is a reflection of their reputation for failure to keep up with their competitors. It appears this decision to leave it out was a sales initiative.
Phone features and nice to haves that only effect user interface are on the user to purchase.
So if I want UWB to be able integrate with other items that's on Samsung to provide and an egg on their face if they don't. That means there is physically a better phone in their league or company in their league out there.
If I want the screen privacy feature, then I better splurge for an Ultra. If I want to see the flag on the moon then I better splurge for an Ultra.
If I want to hold the best falgship phone on the market which is future proof and international, I thought the S26 league was enough. This is the 2026 model we are talking about. The future. A future with functionality left on the table.
