Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra - user opinions and reviews

There's nothing wrong with sticking to your S23U, but saying S26U is a downgrade is pure idiotic when you haven't even used the phone. From S23U it's a substantial upgrade to S26U, from S24U it's not much.

I'm still happy with my S23 Ultra, every update after seems like a downgrade, camera specs are worse than competitors, what is going on Samsung? up your game, you use to be the best in cameras now is the same every year,
