I have yet to find anything that is significantly different from my S23. If it had not broken, i would have kept it and not known the difference. Unless you need to upgrade or can get a deal, then wait for something worth upgrading for.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Seems like the s24u is far better then the s26u. The screen picture quality sucks on the s26u. I wish I would have kept my s24u DO NOT GET THIS PHONE. It is a waste of money. If you have the s24u KEEP IT. DO NOT UPGTADE.

This phone offers nothing over my S22 Ultra i just traded in.... other than frustration with the AI, apps and advertisements now stalking me as i use it. One thing is for sure, Samsung has learned how to stalk, shadow, spy their way into your phone use. Tracking and monitoring is definitely built into this S26 Ultra. The added processing capacity and speed allows Samsung to increase the ability of apps to have more advertising, increased clutter in your access and always offering a paid format that will allow you to go ad free, for a small $$.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It's a good product, unfortunately at times I notice the same problems I've always had with apps and the OS are still prevalent. I really don't have a benchmark to see how blazingly fast it may be, but I've never noticed a slow down hardware wise. Can't wait to really test out the camera.
