EDITORIAL: Samsung is sticking to same choices they did last year: top processor, top screen and a tried and true camera setup. Battery remains the same – a disappointing 5000mAh Lithium unit that provides for (barely) a full day of heavy use. Like Apple, Samsung believes that it is better to fully deplete and fully charge the battery every single day (excellent sales numbers confirm that their customers feel the same). The S26U is still a great phone: top performance and screen (albeit with gimmicky "first phone with a privacy screen" tagline), great main and selfie cameras, industry leading OS update policy, extensive AI integration, DeX and a powerful stylus.
PROs
flagship build, excellent SD 8 Elite Gen 5 with UFS 4.1 performance, outstanding >1300nits >490ppi LTPO AMOLED screen with HDR10+ and DX antireflective coating, great 200MP 24mm main + 10MP 67mm tele + 50MP 111mm periscope telephoto + 50MP ~13mm ultrawide (all with PDAF, only ultrawide lacks OIS), (Feb 2023 old) 12MP 26mm dual-Pixel PDAF selfie that still delivers great pics, above average video recording, stable and feature packed OS with 7 years of updates, rich AI offerings, industry best desktop replacement functionality, fast USB-C 3.2 with DisplayPort and OTG and powerful integration of build in stylus
CONs
disappointing lack of innovation Samsung used to be known for, wider then last year, same 5000mAh battery with 24hr endurance (but slightly faster) sub-60min 60W (25W wireless) charging, no expandable storage and Apple-like effort to limit access to best (wearables, peripherals) features to users fully committed to Samsung ecosystem

EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of screen and imaging performance) In a very aggressive (in a good way) fashion, Oppo released it's 2026 core Find family on September 22nd. The Find X10 seems to be a X9 Pro upgrade: better chip, ginormous 8000mAh battery, 144Hz Dolby Vision screen, two 200MP lenses and a upgraded ColorOS 17 with Android 17 out of the box - all for a ~€700 price at lounch!
PROs
flagship build, excellent Dimensity 9600M (3nm) with UFS 4.1 performance, 48hr endurance from a 8000mAh (7150mAh in EU) Si-C battery with >60min 80W (50W wireless) charging, ~1100nits 460ppi 144Hz LTPO AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision, IP69 protection, 200MP 23mm OIS main + 200MP 65mm OIS periscope telephoto + 50MP 15mm ultrawide (all with PDAF) setup, excellent 50MP 18mm PDAF selfie, very good video recording, AI and other features loaded OS with 5 years of updates, Snap button for access to a feature of choice, aggressive pricing
CONs
wider then comparable competition, fast charging takes longer then 60min, sub-1300nits screen brightness could be an issue in bright light, no memory expansion option, no desktop replacement functionality, limited market availability
