The verdict, & two little voices
Should you actually get the 256 GB Samsung Galaxy S26+ on Verizon?
The editor weighs in — flanked by the optimist on her shoulder and the cynic on the other.
“Same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 as the Ultra, 4900 mAh, and 20W wireless for $400 less.”
“Samsung lists a $899 phone without confirmed mmWave status or display type - specs TBD is not exactly premium confidence.”
