2. 🤔 One UI Interface and Fingerprint Recognition Leave Something to Be Desired
· These are drawbacks based on personal experience, and users may agree or disagree with certain points.
· The One UI interface is cited as an area still needing improvement. While some might say the UI is good compared to iOS, I've experienced interface-related lag, such as shutter save errors when using the camera or stuttering when ending videos. Although it has improved significantly for user convenience, it still needs further refinement.
· The fingerprint recognition feature is also a point of disappointment. While the in-display method is convenient, it can be inconvenient when certain screen protectors are used, leading to poor recognition. The significant variation in compatibility with screen protectors acts as a drawback for a feature as integral to daily life as fingerprint recognition.

3. 💡 What Samsung Can Do: Harmonizing Small Form Factors with Innovative Features
· Personally, I prefer smartphones in the size of the standard iPhone Pro models and prioritize one-handed usability.
· Although I've adapted while using the S26 Ultra, I still hope for a smaller form factor.
· I understand Samsung differentiates specs for lineup configuration and marketing, but I wish they would incorporate innovative features like the camera specs, privacy display, and 60W charging into slightly smaller form factors.
· Using it alongside the Fold 8 further emphasizes the size of the S26 Ultra, but despite that, I believe it's the most complete bar-type smartphone available today.
· I look forward to the S27's release and hope for a model that applies the S27's advanced technology and innovative features to a smaller form factor. It's a smartphone that's definitely recommendable.
