• the Galaxy S26 base model feeling great in hand but sacrificing camera quality
• the Galaxy S26 Plus pricing problem and why the monthly payment math pushes people to Ultra
• battery life versus charging speed differences across 25W, 45W, and 60W tiers
• signs Samsung could drop the Plus model and shift to a Pro tier
