    M series selling point used to be spec and battery. It doesn't have any of those anymore today. I'd say better get rid of M series.

      The A26 can barely be considered an upgrade, and actually for people in LATAM it's an easy downgrade.

      In my opinion since neither the A25, nor the A26 are fast phones, and neither are on the too slow side either, and IP ratings mean absolutely nothing because there is no warranty against water damage and even a phone without an IP rating can survive water, the same way a phone with an IP rating may not survive, the A25 is a better buy, even if it's 10-20 usd more expensive than the A26 somehow, otherwise just get the A35 or the A55.

      This "new" Ax6 line is an easy skip.

          Just kill this series and replace it with the M3x or anything else viable. The A2x is getting pointless.

              Azu10157, 20 Apr 2025Probably bc oneui7 kinda sucks with batteryOr maybe there’s a flaw in GSMa’s battery test? There are increasingly inconsistencies across different brands and models when compared to findings from other reviewers.

                Samsung can only compare with Samsung. If they compare with other brands, they themself prove that they are scrap.

                  CMF Phone 2 Pro is coming, let's see how much it'll be priced

                        The fact that we need these many comparisons between last years' gen and the current ones shows that there is only an incremental "upgrade" between models (if you can even call them as such), and therefore does not warrant a purchase.

                        If you have last year's model, look for other brands if you really want a new one. Otherwise, just stick to your phone and just wait for next year's releases.

                          How can the A26 have significantly less battery life than the A35 with the same SoC? Nobody even wonder why?
