First Impressions: Galaxy S26 Ultra & Pitaka Cairn Case (coming from S23U)

Coming from the S23 Ultra, I've been using the S26 Ultra for a few days now: I absolutely love it!

Highlights so far:

* Look and feel: I really like the new rounded edges.

* Performance: Everything runs super snappy!

* Privacy Display: This feature is awesome. I also love that you can specifically select which apps and notifications to use it with.

* Camera: Overall camera performance is excellent.

* Horizontal Lock is a cool feature!

* Battery & Screen: Battery life and overall display quality are great.

The Not-So-Great:

* Because of the new camera bump, my Peak Design Stand Wallet doesn't fit anymore & the selection of fitting wallets is meager.

Thoughts on the Pitaka Cairn Case:

* The look and feel are great.

* However, the bottom edge does not look to be optimally protected (using a screen protector).

* I love the Aaron Buttons! I mapped them to toggle the Privacy Display on/off, turn on the flashlight, and take screenshots.

The S26 Ultra is an absolute powerhouse!
