Discussion - The Galaxy S26 has helped cement Samsung’s place in your heart

I do not understand people who think that Chinese brands make objectively better phones than Samsung does. Chinese companies don't make phones that have better or longer lasting software, nor do most Chinese companies make phones with battery life that is actually significantly better than that of the S26 Ultra.

As for iphones, yes, the hardware of the 17 Pro Max does give the S26 Ultra a run for its money. However, it is not noticeably better in battery life or benchmarks and has noticeably weaker and less user-friendly software.

Not quite. The opposite in fact.

Dude are you serious? Are you arguing that a 10000 mAh battery phone doesn't have a significantly better battery life than a 5000 one? That's because you never tried one.

Yes most definitely a solid effort from the team for Samsung shareholders this was the model that gave us everyday. Koreans have incredible patience and bravery in hostile environments something most nations don't understand.

I have never ever thought of any phone brand being in direct competition with another. Every company has a niche they bring to the table. Faster charging, portability, wireless syncing with household items these are the things most phones do but when it comes to safety and security then the list narrows down further. The only thing I will fault Samsung for is allowing external connections without notifying the user like in a high profile stalking case they could do more to protect notable artists. If I have never connected my phone to a PC there should never be a connection and a prompt should be given each time the device is being synced without the owners knowledge. We should have the option to sever the connection completely. Same thing with Apple watch so yes they are new but how do they protect you and this is where Samsung stands apart. You will receive your due dividends eventually especially when an anniversary rolls around.
