  "summary": "Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has adopted Samsung Electronics' Galaxy S26 Ultra as a key tool for his digital campaign, targeting younger voters in his pursuit of a historic fourth term. After initially avoiding mobile phones, Lula received his first smartphone following a defeat in the first round of Brazil's presidential election. His campaign subsequently launched a WhatsApp channel, \"Lula's Army,\" which gained 10.8 million followers in just three weeks. Lula was presented with the Galaxy S26 Ultra during a video posted on X, formerly Twitter, where he referred to the device as \"the weapon of our army.\"",
