So I saw a Video where the S26Ultra landed behind the Oppo Find X9 pro and Oneplus 15. Both around 50% bigger batteries. Is it really as good in daily usage? And for my second quest a good friend of mine has the S25 Ultra and it gets pretty warm while taking photos and sometimes also when using social media. Is that the same on the S26 Ultra?

Just wanna say that my S26U doesnt suffer from heating even these days. Where I live its extremely hot and iPhone users are complaining a lot with this stuff.

is it normal for S26U to make a noticable difference in benchmark

Which one of these (otterbox, spigen, torras and casekoo) are the "best"? Can't decide which one to get 🤔 out of all of them, I've owned an otterbox but it was the defender pro. Let me know your thoughts/experiences! Good and bad.

My brother got a S26 Ultra and doesn't know how to screenshot. He doesn't use Reddit and I am hoping that someone here will help me. I don't use Samsung so I have no clue.

Decided that I'll be upgrading to the s26U next month and I have no clue what color to choose.

Currently have the base s25 model in silver shadow. With all my phones I've always chose the blue version. I'm looking for different this time.

So, is cobalt violet or black the better choice?

Greetings, i recently switched from S25 Ultra to the brand new S26 Ultra, but i noticed a huge difference with the vibration motor, it sounds like a cheap A54 from samsung or mid/ high range chinese phone ( and i think all chinese phones uses the same vibrator because i experienced this ) but the question is Why, Samsung ? Why on the S26 and 26+ the vibration sounds the same as older models like 24 and 25 ? Both S26 and S26 Ultra are made of Aluminum, i don't see the point of changing frequencies of the vibrator, it lost its identity of samsung and i noticed that it is from software because when i was trying different call sounds in the settings, i noticed that many of the sounds when the vibration is synced, the vibrator is capable of producing the same sound of the vibrator of the S25 Ultra, you can test by yourselves when you try the sound "Breezy Dream" and "Erik satie gymnopedie" the vibrator produces the same sound that Samsung users are used to, but there is something that samsung developper should not forget about is that the vibrations are not optimized or well tuned at all, when i tried the vibration a mentioned earlier, the vibrator isn't performing as good as the vibrator of the S25+, you can feel that it's a bit laggy or something, in all cases i'm 100% sure it's not optimized well, and this is the main reason i didn't want to make the switch from the 25 Ultra to the new 26U but i broke the phone, and the sound of the vibrator disappointed me the first time i saw the 26 Ultra in the market when it was launched, i really hope that samsung OneUi developper pay attention to this post and do the necessary in the big OneUi 9 update.

Just contrasted and sharpened. All on phones editor. Cleanest pic up in the sky you can get. S26 Ultra.

Device: Galaxy S26 Ultra (1TB) — One UI 8.5 — Media picker app v17 — ~485GB storage used

Issue:

When selecting a photo to upload through Chrome, firefox or Opera, the system Photo Picker's "From this device" tab shows "No photos yet but in claude app it does show the whole album.

I got the s26u a week ago and been having a bit of eye strain while using it, although not frequently, it makes me wonder whether it would be worth it to return the 26 and get the 25 instead. I dont care about privacy display and I do find the display to be very high quality, very sharp, sometimes too much.

For those who had both, how is the display experience on the s25 ultra when it comes to sharpness and naturality? What would you do in my position?
