The Galaxy S26 Ultra filmed a live Street League Skateboarding competition on April 4. Not as a stunt, not as a side experiment, but as part of the actual broadcast.

Samsung confirmed that the S26 Ultra captured the SLS DTLA Takeover in Los Angeles, with devices physically embedded into the course itself: rails, ledges, gaps.

The footage fed directly into live production, enabling near-instant replay in a sport where the difference between a landed trick and a bail happens in under a second.

The S26 Ultra brings enhanced stabilization, Super Steady with horizontal lock, and Instant Slow-Mo to a context where all three matter simultaneously. High-speed motion, cramped physical spaces, low-light pockets under course obstacles.

It’s a genuinely hostile shooting environment, and Samsung claims the device held up alongside conventional broadcast cameras without a drop in clarity.

Brett Clarke, Chief Revenue Officer at Thrill Sports, the parent company of SLS, called it an evolution in how the sport reaches fans.

Joshua Cho, Samsung’s EVP heading the Visual Solution Team within the MX Business, framed it as extending what the company proved at Milano Cortina into a rawer, less predictable setting.

With Los Angeles 2028 on the horizon, the company’s direction is obvious: position Galaxy hardware as a legitimate broadcast tool before the world’s biggest sporting event lands in its backyard.
