Comparisons with iPhone

“Got it a week back.. Sold my 17 pro after a year.. It's a nice phone, really feels more polished than iPhone.. iPhone suddenly had so many bugs and lags.. I definitely prefer the ultra..”
“Pixel, is not on the same level. The Ultra is not trying to be the best at everything, that would make them too expensive. Like Apple they deliver one of the best "all around" phones. Therer are better camera phones, phones with larger batteries, phones with other specialty features but not the all around phone. Having choices is great.”
“I love my S26, however, I already thought about changing to the Pixel, one thing is I have the samsung ultra watch and i dont readlly use the health stuff as much as I should. I like the privacy display and thee screen resolution but would love to have Rambler and the better software as well.”

“I very much miss being able to take a selfie with the S pen.”
“s pen, screen size, cameras and lighter weight is why i'm considering this”
“The only reason I get the phone is the S pen. I'll jump ship from Samsung the instant they remove the S Pen”

“Why all are so concerned about magsafe? Who does use that even in daily life ?”
“Do be honest magsafe is not a big deal at all”

“I use privacy mode when I'm at work 😂”
“I'm the opposite on the privacy display. I use it every night in bed and every so often out in public. I didn't think I'd use it that much. Battery has been excellent, I can't drain the battery in one day on 5G. The wobble is annoying even with a case. The pitaka magsafe kick stand eliminates the wobble, but adds bulk.”
“There's no point to the Privacy display for me I don't even use it not one time since I've had this phone”
