Other wise i'll use another company hand Set
Bluetooth s pen is not includeed,battery shold be extended, very disappointed.
Cameras are better, more contrast and detail, specially on superwide and in main camera corners.
Small sensor size of superwide is still felt tho, the same as worse reach as compared to oppo with its 6x optical or others with 200mp.
But well, at least it isnt downgrade lol
the thermal throttling is terrible as the test proof... shame on you Samesuuuung

Hardly any game that is an issue on Mediatek chips.
Maybe some emulator compatibility issues (but that's a niche)

[deleted post]Sadly the majority of people who buy smartphone do not even understand the specs of their phone (and this is especially true for the older generation who buy stuff for their kids or grand kids). Many of them just went to the store asking the best phone for their kid, and the store clerk happily handed them the newest or the most expensive one in the store..
Clearly, no competition means stagnatin, lack of imagination and risk… no wonder smartphone sales are record low
Fa14bi, 08 Mar 2026Yeah, the S26 Ultra belongs to the Poco F8 Ultra and Motorola Signature Category.
The S26U... morelook at the overall package.
speakers, haptics, chipset, etc.
I've seen many people discussing battery life. Are you judging based on the same 2K resolution? If we compare it to the previous generation 2K screen phones from OPPO and VIVO, the Find X8 Ultra and X200 Ultra, both with 6000mAh batteries, their battery life wasn't as good as the S26U.
OPPO and VIVO have excellent cameras and batteries, but their speakers are terrible. It's highly unlikely that either of them will upgrade the speakers for their Ultra models this year.

Playing Chinese games on a Chinese phone is great, but what about games from outside China? For example, Korean and Japanese games often have poor support for MediaTek processors. Not to mention, OPPO and Vivo's Ultra phones aren't sold worldwide, and there's also the issue of accessory availability. I like Pitaka phone cases, but they only cover Samsung, Apple, and Google phones. I think I'd still choose Samsung.
