TL;DR
- Logs posted by a Google employee confirm the Galaxy S26 Ultra does not support powered-off tracking via Google’s Find Hub.
- Google’s Find My Device network can locate powered-off phones, but only Pixel devices have supported the feature so far.
- Samsung’s SmartThings Find works offline, but still requires the phone to be powered on.
Despite Android’s upgraded Find My Device network (now called Find Hub) rolling out more than a year ago, Samsung’s new flagship phones may still miss out on one of its most useful features.
