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.

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.
So much different than my S10e. It is taking me a while to learn how to use it. Don't like the way I have to shut it off. It takes me several tries before the power turns off.
The new features are easy to use. Love the security on the S26. Can't wait to try out the camera and settings. S22 was better than the IPhone so I'm sure the S26 will surpass them all.
