The S26 is a definite upgrade to my S10 it replaces. The AI editing of photos works very well, saving a lot of otherwise compromised photos. The processor does an excellent job with all the apps I use, and the speed improvement is noticeable.
I've been a Samsung user for 10+ years. They've slowly taken away everything that made these phones unique. This one is okay. I don't love how much AI is now integrated into the phone via Samsung AND Google. I don't see much of a difference in performance compared to my 3+ year old S22, that's a shame.
