Samsung S26 Ultra/S26/S26 Plus

[ab2c4]

I might switch back to Android, specifically a S26 this weekend due to a Best Buy Labor Day say. I was a long time Android die hard and six years ago was getting bored and switched to iphone, an 11 at the time and have been on iphone since then. I'm mentally done with the frustration caused by the ios keyboard and gesture navigation system. I want the bottom navigation bar back! lol

With that said I don't anticipate any problems and if my understanding is correct I'll be able to copy over my text messages. On iphone I use gmail for my mail, browser I don't care what I'm using, I use google photos so no problems there. I already exported my contact list off my iphone as well as my usernames/passwords into file form to import on a new phone.

Anything I might be missing? I don't really keep much data of any type on my phone. As long as the alarms work the same since I use my phone as an alarm clock, and as long as the "do not disturb" after 9pm works like on iphone so I don't get woken up in the night with my phone dinging and yet the alarm clock will still ring in the morning I should be good.

Your do not disturb and alarms will function similarly and only specified favorites will ring and alarms

Good to hear, I’m glad to be going back to Android.

I see they’ve got white S26 Ultras on an Amazon UK in the base configuration at £899 at the moment.

Be careful it's actually a UK version! A lot of sellers are saying it's a UK model but it's actually international model, Samsung won't cover them with warranty here. If its sold and fulfilled by Amazon then it's a proper UK model.

Edit: Just had a look, it is indeed a UK version, good deal that

I’m not a big picture taker, are the cameras on the Ultra that much better than the regular S26? Or are they somewhat comparable as to the pics they produce?

I’ll be coming from an Air so it won’t take much to beat this camera.
