Upgrade phone ?

user5fDKr4Hm1y — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 04:05:07 GMT

I am undecided in changing the s 24 ultra for the s26 ultra, which they recommend, and what are the good and bad options between these 2 phones?

The headlining feature of the S26U is the privacy display.

While considered a marginal upgrade in some ways, the S26U is superior to the S24U in virtually every category.

The only potential "bad" thing is the loss of S pen Air Actions when upgrading. Everything else is improved. The reversion to aluminum is viewed by some as a "downgrade" in terms of build, but is a ~13x upgrade in terms of heat dissipation.

The upgrade won't be earth-shattering, but there are real quality of life improvements to be had should you choose to do so.

Some camera and video improvement in the 26 ultra but think the headliner is the privacy screen which is too early to rate

I traded 24ultra for 26ultra, and I'm not looking back. 👏

The reviewer stacks the deck with the updates of hardware and processing with the 26U and in the end concluded these are minimal in relation to real world experience and not with the update. I agree. Sticking with the 24U.
