With the S24 having 7 years of OS updates, the S26 is not designed for yearly upgraders. Samsung is probably after S22 or older users, especially those who had old Exynos phones. For them, the S26 would be a huge upgrade
If you have an S23 or later and you're complaining about the upgrade, then either you have not even maximized the use of your current phone, or you're just fomo.
Personally, I'm just glad Samsung keeps making the compact base model. It's practically the only compact flagship on the market.

Probably put better cooling in (which is why it's heavier). So hopefully it won't overheat as much, but this is definitely disappointing from them..

I have been a fan of samsung till now. I have a s9 base model and I think it is a legendary s-tier phone. from s20 I was waiting to upgrade my phone. but none of base model s series phones met my expectations. I am changing my phone to either xiaomi or pixel.
money wasnt an issue for me. I wanted the best and I'm not getting it from samsung any more.

All i can derive from this; the Ultra will get decent 70mm camera as the other models seem to get the same 1/4" 10MP galore.

Vic, 02 Dec 2025For many consumers on many markets swithing from S25 to S26... moreThe Exynos 2600 2nm chip not even out yet and no commercial product available, lol. People this days, hate something not even exist yet. The real thing is Snapdragon 8 elite Gen 5 in some flagship phone show not Really good sustained performance without proper cooling system, throttle badly.

You could have any of the S23 models and be missing zero "new" features of these "new" Samesung phones, even three generations later.

Sure, it’s “Samesung". But they consistently pay close attention to detail in both software and hardware, refining the overall user experience in ways that specs alone can’t capture. That subtle polish matters a lot. It reminds me of how Nokia used to do it back in the day. Something many Chinese manufacturers still lack.

ollyb1, 02 Dec 2025its official, we’ve reach the point of diminishing returns We have been at this point for the last 4 years, no clue why you suddenly think something is different - if you buy a flagship or high-end phone, there is no good reason (other than damaged hardware) to upgrade for the next 3-6 years depending on your use case.
A Galaxy S22 Ultra is going to still cover pretty much all your daily needs just fine for 90% of people (if not more), same goes for older iPhones and other Android OEMs - performance is not an issue we have had over the last few years.

The Plus have been receiving only chip set upgrades for the past 2 years. Then Samsung wonders why it does not grow in sales.
