Did an upgrade via mail. Startup of the phone and migration of apps and data went pretty smoothly. A little challenging learning the new features and where to find settings that needed to be be tweaked. But that's with most any update/upgrade.
The s26 does not have the privacy feature that the plus ultra has. The agent at the store i went to, told me it provided the feature. Which in turn it does not so that makes me very upset.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
