Unboxing the $1,100 Samsung Galaxy S26+ in Black
The S26 Plus is a lot like the S25 Plus, but even more optimized for AI, running on a custom version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip that optimizes functions like AI tools in the Camera app. Let’s unbox it. #samsung #samsunggalaxy #s26plus #galaxyunpacked #mobile

If we’re talking pure smarts in a smartphone it’s years ahead

I miss those days when charger and headphones were mandatory in the box, for a phone costing more than a thousand dollars

The design is not upto the mark. It’s not just about how fast a phone is, but also about the look and feel. Samsung peaked its design in the S24U and all the S23 lineup(including the regular ones). Though it offers so many features, the design is a big turn off for me.
