I went from Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra to the S26 Ultra and so far have no complaints. Performs very well, pictures are much more crisp and clear. Battery life is exceptional, i use it all day and the charge has not gone below 30%.
Battery was not lasting-phone would get hot-I had to go to dark mode and delete a bunch of the apps that were already installed. Helped a little, but not happy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Too much AI bloat that you have to turn off. Preferred the style of the S23 Ultra with square corners. Stylus is not Bluetooth. Camera bump on the back is extremely horrible especially when trying to wireless charge phone will never lay flat. Difficult to find phone covers that adjust for this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
