Title: Galaxy S26 Ultra proves specs aren't everything as testing reveals cool thermals and 12% longer battery vs Galaxy S25 Ultra

Smartphone reviewer Mrwhosetheboss has put the latest Chinese and non-Chinese flagship phones against each other in a real-world battery life test. The Galaxy S26 Ultra manages to impress by lasting a reasonably good time on a single charge and remaining cool while doing so.

Also the star of the show is actually Exynos 2600 this year. In S26+ it has close CPU performance, but in games performance it just wipes the floor with the snapdragon. It delivers stable 60fps everywhere, while SD struggles around 30..

It's using laptop levels of power consumption @ 25w. That's pretty insane and will kill a battery with the heat it produces alone.

And this was tested with mobile games. Lord knows what will happen once someone starts emulating full pc games on this thing.

Mrwhoistheboss ?

Guys analysis are now Kind of shaky for me right now,I would wait for you guy's review and after here I'm going to check the YouTuber 'in-depth tech review' if he has carried out his true-to-life tests on this issue.

In case you are referring to Exynos - then that's some biased nonsense. 2600 hits the same temperatures as SD while using inferior cooling in S26+, compared to huge vapor chamber in S26U. And it will work the same in emulation as in mobile games, they are all limited by thermal package. The tests I've seen used very demanding titles, at least based on SD underperformance..
