My favourite brand is on a recycling spree 🙂...so I've noticed,it's nerve-wracking the Samsung Galaxy S26 ultra,and by extend the S26 series are coming with practically the same battery capacity, regardless of efficiency.
Samsung is finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with the cameras of its Chinese competitors, even if the hardware is weaker on paper. This is evident from a recent comparison of some photos with the Vivo X300 base model, which is not only much more compact than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, but also significantly cheaper.
