It's so disappointing that, once again, the regular S26 and S26+ don't get much improvements...

No antireflective filter, no privacy screen, no big improvements in cameras (4K 120fps? 50Mpx on all cameras?) or battery (SiC), etc.

All the glory to the Ultra, but not everyone wants a 6.9 inch screen phone that's over 200gr.

Wish there was more again in the compact flagship segment.

That's why I ended up getting a Pixel. I wanted high end cameras and display in a smaller form factor and Samsung doesn't offer it.

Yeah, but Google isn't very good with video recording quality, per many reviews I've seen. They don't even offer 4K 60fps with HDR, and the chip is way behind the competition, affecting battery life. At least, that's what many reviews say.

The best part of Samsung is just OneUI.

The S25 Ultra is better with video as is the iPhone but I don't record much.
On paper the chip isn't as powerful but the phone is fast and smooth. Video editing is a weak point and I don't think it games as well as the others.
