I have trouble with the touchscreen. Frequently need to tap letters multiple times to send texts and emails. Frustrating. May have to return this one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had the Galaxy S23+ for 3 years without any issues whatsoever. Just thought I'd go with a with the new 26+ as soon as it was released. Slightly larger screen, larger battery and better performance. No complaints. Works great!! Highly recommended.
Overall the S26 Ultra is another hit from Samsung. The screen is smaller than the S24 Ultra but the S26 Ultra is lighter in weight. There are new features on the S26 and some of the features of the S24 were deleted from the S26.In the end it all balances out and one would be satisfied with either model.
Other than having a TON of features that I'll probably never use, and LOADS of AI and automatic downloading of games, and other apps, hence the 4 stars, I don't want.... its slightly glitchy.
I assume its just small bugs that Samsung will fix with some updates.
It is funny though that areas at work where I had great service, before my last phone was paid off, then went to where I had no service if barely any at all.. once this little guy showed up, service in those previously described areas returned, however slightly deminished... its like they want to keep us in constant revolving of new devices..
The display is amazing, cameras the same. Touch screen is UBER sensitive... I miss the old Samsung Messages app, it was simple, but totally functional, Google messages is weird but im getting used to it. Aside from that, for some reason, I HAVE to have some sort of data connection(wifi or mobile) for a simple text to go out... its weird, I remember you didn't need data to simply text.. places where there wasnt enough service for a stable phone call, you could still get a text out. Why can't I do that now? I had this same issue with my last phone(S21FE). So this was a HUGE jump in technology, which may be most of my issues.
