Went with the plus, you get the best of both worlds, big screen and battery along with the latest AI software without spending on the Ultra. Hoping Samsung brings the Privacy Display to the plus in the next one, so I can stay with the plus cycle :)

Was inclined towards the S26, but the plus has a big screen while keeping the body compact and weight is also not much. Enjoying the device so far. No complaints.

Samsung is the king and the S26 Plus is a great example. Smooth performance, high quality camera, super amoled display and best AI experience. The pricing might look steep at first but totally worth it if you plan to keep the phone for 2-3 years and want the absolute best experience.

Camera is great for everyday shots, but the zoom obviously can't compete with the Ultra's 100x. If you don't care about extreme zoom, this 3x lens is more than enough for family portraits and vacation photos.

Glad I went with the S26 instead of other options in this price segment. The biggest advantage over other phones in this range is the AI features. They are actually very useful. And another big plus is the display, colors are natural. Device feels very premium to use and show off.
