Where I live the S25 Ultra is currently cheaper than the base S26 model. Crazy.

      Looks like a solid flagship killer or a high midrange phone.
      If only it was priced like that...

        Samsung wasted an entire year by releasing this mediocre update. I was hoping for something more but this is just lame.

          Mcak, 10 Mar 2026It infuriates me that these things will sell and Samsung will still not change anything next year. And expect that Samsung will not change anything maybe even in the next 3 years. I have a 2023 midranger and these ridiculously-priced Samsung 2026 "flagships" are still yet to catch up of my phone's specs. Yikes!

              Anonymous, 10 Mar 2026It's the Exynos one. So Great battery life, performance is a bit worse but actually... moreWith nodes being equal, higher clocks mean higher losses, because the losses come from transistors switching.
              Sf2 is not bad at all huh

                  Wow that cpu load perf is wonderful, especially compared to the 8eg5 hotbox
                  70-80% sustained performance over an entire hour is like, back into before the sd888, when flagship chips used to have performance

                        Anonymous, 10 Mar 2026Will battery life be even better on the SD model?Worse, and it will throttle at least or worse than S26U.

                        Base S26 is in for a hell with the Elite Gen 5 chip, Exynos 2600 will do wonders for it.

                        How the tables unexpectedly turned lol.

                          So

                          Great battery life, performance is a bit worse but actually still great, solid CPU performance when it comes to throttling.

                          I guess this is the better phone then, proves even more that absurdly high clock speeds of the EliteGen5 hurt it more than help it, especially with throttling.

                            If so, amazing that for the performance it has, the CPU has pretty solid performance compared to how terrible S26U is.

                            If it's the SD chip then what the heck?

                              Despite smaller battery, still has better battery than ultra
