PhonicSpecs Team note: owners can make this thread especially useful by explaining what they do not miss from the Ultra. Is the S26+ easier to carry? Does its battery comfortably cover your day? Are its cameras good enough that you rarely wish for the Ultra’s extra hardware?
It is equally useful to hear regrets. If you repeatedly miss stronger zoom, S Pen-style features or other Ultra-specific capabilities, say so.
For buyers, the S26+ makes the most sense when it preserves the premium everyday experience while avoiding cost and bulk you do not need. The right choice depends less on which phone is “better” and more on whether the Ultra features would actually become part of your routine.
