Samsung is pushing Galaxy AI across everything from photos to calls on its Galaxy S26 series. It sounds useful, but many AI features end up unused after a few days. If AI is built into everyday actions like editing or search, it might actually make a difference.
Samsung's Live Translate now supports more local dialects. Has Siri finally caught up, or is it still struggling with our Hinglish conversations?
Is innovation dead for Samsung A series phones? Don’t you think that Galaxy A57 pricing is creeping up. Previously, a series used to offer better value for money. Now, the starting price is about Rs. 58k, it feels like the gap is shrinking fast and is closely touching to premium phones.
I was trying to figure out which model offers the best value this time. Though Ultra looks great, the price jump is significant. I am a bit curious what people are leaning towards.
So, Samsung just launched the Galaxy S26 series, and while the Ultra's Privacy Display is impressive, the vanilla Galaxy S26 model has disappointed once again. There are barely any upgrades in terms of camera and battery life, and even where there are, markets like India get the inferior Exynos chip instead of Qualcomm's. And the pricing, oh man. Imagine spending nearly 1.3 lakh for a GALAXY S26! Better to go and buy the iPhone 17 right now, before Apple realises Samsung's troubles and hikes its prices.
One of the most talked-about upgrades on the Galaxy S26 Ultra is going to be its built-in Privacy Display, designed to limit side viewing without needing a screen protector. Samsung says it can automatically activate while entering passwords, viewing sensitive content, or using selected apps, keeping information visible only to the user. For Indian smartphone users who often use phones in crowded spaces like metros, offices, and cafes, this sounds practical. But how well does it work in real life, and does it affect brightness, color accuracy, or battery life? What do you think?
The Galaxy S26 Ultra starts at Rs. 1,39,999 in India and climbs to Rs. 1,89,999 for the highest variant, a price point that demands justification. Samsung is leaning hard on AI features and hardware upgrades to make that case, and there's genuinely interesting stuff here: a built-in Privacy Display, the multi-agent Galaxy AI setup, a serious camera system, and a new APV video codec for sharper footage. On paper, it's a strong package. But Indian buyers are pragmatic. With bank offers, exchange deals, and upgrade cycles stretching past two years, the real test isn't what the spec sheet says, it's whether any of this changes how you actually use your phone day to day. Increasingly, the Ultra feels like it's chasing a specific kind of user: the creator, the power user, the tech enthusiast. For everyone else paying flagship money, the calculus is getting harder to square.
The new Oppo Find X9 Ultra has recently launched. It comes with a massive 7,050mAh battery. After comparing to the S26 Ultra's 5,000mAh, I feel that’s a huge gap. What do you recommend for power users, which one would be a better fit?

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra can be viewed with 8K at 30fps now. Is anyone actually shooting in 8K, or is it still a storage hog that we don't need yet?

I am confused about buying Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus, because the differences dont feel huge on paper. I constantly scroll social media and do simple multitasking. Just wondering if Plus has a better battery life than S26. I dont want to regret purchasing it.
