I like that the S26+ is the same size as the S24+ because it fits in the cases I purchased for the old phone. The S26+ is very similar to the S24+ in operations and looks and use.
Phone is great, appears as advertised with cool features. Setup and transfer process was difficult and much data and account user logon information did not transfer, so we had to manually setup logins for a number of applications.
I replaced an S20FE because of engineered obsolescence, battery was going, and software support was over. The S26+ is is faster and has more features than I will use. It is a very robust, capable device.
