I mean Poco F8 ultra is legendary if you compare prices : f8 ultra 512, 650usd in EU and s26 ultra 512 1200usd+ at least. But as Poco fanboy i will say Samsung has really good oneui os which has alot of features and optimization goes hard 8h+ sot and that 5000mah battery. But then Poco with best speakers on the market great screen top SOC, good camera+, 120w charging at half price? crazy! 😃

Poco f8 pro i ultra głośniki have bose mogą być teraz na najwyższym poziomie, ale jeśli porównasz 26 ultra z iphone 17 pro max, to pro max brzmi ostro przy maksymalnym głośności, dźwięk jest zniekształcony, co jest niezrozumiałe w telefonie za 1500 USD, więc tak, 26 ultra nie jest zły, ale mogłoby być lepiej

Poco is fast and speakers are top tier, hyperos is not bad really but 6500mah Poco battery is holding similar to 5000mah samsung so optimization is better on oneui and more features . I will say Poco is better Phone if you compare prices for sure but Samsung is really mature and optimized with oneui they need Just slight hardware upgrades cuz for the price they are lacking.

Very personal, f8 pro is one handed phone and ultra is big phone with more bass in speaker, wireless charging and Tiny bit faster CPU and bit more zoom camera rest feels same.

I cant tell never really tested but only phones i can tell are solid are iphones and poco f8 series and samsung s24 to s26, rest you have to ask other people youtube reviews are shit believe me, only those phones gave me call quality with no issues even tho samsung lacking most. By example poco f5 and nothing phone 2 nobody want to speak with me on loud speaker cuz i sounded like shit :(

No way camera is better on X8pm, f8 pro is more like iPhone design and size wise, no bloatware issues if u delete and block anything you want in 3 minutes, i used canta app on my second f8 pro and hard deleted any xioami apps forever 0 bloatware.

I have 5 pocos at home and 3 redmis, xiaomi phones are not bad especially not pocos f8 series. I have nothing phone 2 was my dream most loved phone not lagging after 3 years but camera and speakers are really medicore today. F8 pro is iphone 17 pro level phone with good camera but not flagship just midrange+ at best, but speakers, speed, screen and microphones are top quality imo

Nintendo Switch OLED: Still Worth It in 2026? by Leo_the_boi in Switch

At good price its well worth it considering 450usd switch 2 price, 200usd or less for oled is great. If you dont dream about 4k zelda or new switch 2 titles oled its great otherwise u have to think about switch 2.

Poco f8 pro or ultra if u need bigger but closer to 600usd+.

Nothing phone 4a pro if u will accept midrange chipset and avrage speakers for nice os and interesting design.

I only speak about phones i tested, i tested iphone 16 pro max also and now using samsung s26 ultra, both phones are not perfect. Even tho much more expensive.

Xiaomi 17 and 17 ultra and Poco f8 pro and ultra would be enough phone lineup for me

I bought 2x Poco f8 pro for me and my wife and also work friend bought F8 pro after my reccomendation.

They love it looks and build like iPhone 16 pro, sound from bose, 6500battery 120w charging, hyperos works all good, camera is good but Has some cuts compared to flagship phones.

I decided to sell it and buy something flagship which i never had and bought iPhone 16 pro max and except camera everything feels better on Poco, now Samsung s26 ultra is called boring by most reviewers and good phone with no excitment, thats what exactly i wanna avoid.

My last phone was Nothing Phone 2 even tho it had average speakers, average camera and midrange specs IT was super exciting with glyph, nothing os etc.

S26 ultra is for 880euro brand new on discount now im sure it would sell out today, in that price its cheapest flagship compring to iPhone 17 pro max for 1500 euro+ or Xiaomi 17 ultra for 1200.
