[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my S26+ about a month and so far everything is going well. Honestly, I was considering the Ultra, but pricing and trade in values led me to stay in the S+ family,which in many respects isn't a bad thing. The size is a bit more pocketable, and it isn't missing many features of its upperclassmen. Charging is plenty fast enough at 45w wired and 20w wireless. The cameras take really good photos, even in lower light situations,although, I can't tell that they look any better than they did on my S25+. The Galaxy AI editor in the Gallery is nicely done. I haven't really messed with Bixby on any of my Samsung devices, as I prefer Google Assistant, even over Gemini. Bixby might be a contender if it were a choice between it and Gemini. The only more graphically intensive game I have tried (Destiny Rising), ran smoothly. I did try the Samsung text message app on my S25+ when Verizon pulled the plug on theirs, but ultimately went with Google Messages and chose to stay with it going into my S26+, as it seems more robust. Pair that with the fact that it isn't limited to the Samsung ecosphere and I can take it with me to other Android devices, makes it a tad better. The only real perplexing moment is why Perplexity came pre-installed? Anyway to sum things up, this being my second S+, I am satisfied with my experience. Were the upgrades earth-shattering, no, but the Ultra didn't offer enough extras to leave the S+ family either, so there's that.
