I loved the Galaxy S26 Ultra more than I thought I would. The on-paper specs led me and others to assume it would be another incremental upgrade not worth my interest, as has been the case for years now. Once I got one, I realized there was a lot to love and that even small changes can make a big difference.
It pains me to say it, but Galaxy S27 rumors have already started to trickle in, and soon that will be a deluge. With that in mind, here are three things I want Samsung to change next year.

Could be either, really.
