        The Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ are powered by the Exynos 2600 in most markets around the world. However, customers in the United States, China, and Japan will get >the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 instead.

        WTF, I thhought they had scraped the exynos for this release. Why do US, China and Japan get special treatment?

          Looking at Geekbench 6 scores, its performance lies between that of 25+ and 26+ Snapdragon.

          I have no idea why consumers accept Samsung's region-based discriminatory tactics and the second-rate Exynos processors. Worse battery life, more heating, and even worse camera still/video image quality. But more profits for Samsung.

            @andrew1879: Consumers cant help it as there are no non-Chinese choice other than Pixel in the android space - pixel itself is aleady an inferior product in comparision hardware wise. And I dont think the govt can/would want to do anything, even though they are strict about warranties and stuff. I mean, EU who made Apple go on USB C themselves are not doing anything :D

            @andrew1879: Would never buy another exynos device. My s23+ took better photos and video then my s24+ upgrade and battery was a shocker. Second phone generation to experience that.

        • Kegsta on 26/02/2026 - 15:35

          I think those are the 3 biggest markets for phone games, where people use thier phones as their phones as the primary gaming device, where snapdragon performs better.
          I'm still using my S21 Ultra aussie Exynos version and haven't had any issues.

          • John Doh on 26/02/2026 - 15:40

            @Kegsta: Its not about issues, we are paying the same money to get a slightly inferior product. Its still a perfectly usable product.
            The Elite Gen 5's single threaded performance is 18% faster than the exynos 2600 as per geekbench score (source wccftech). That a good chunk of difference if you use the phone for 5+ years with later OSes/apps demanding faster performance.

            I think those are the 3 biggest markets for phone games, where people use thier phones as their phones as the primary gaming device, where snapdragon performs better.

            Interestingly it looks like the Exynos 2600 AMD RDNA4-based GPU has a slight edge over the Snapdragon X Elite's Adreno, along with supposedly better cooling. We'll have to wait for proper comparisons to be certain though.

            • daniesaurs on 26/02/2026 - 20:18

              @eug: We are at a point where the benchmarks mean nothing compared to the driver support for games or emulation. In saying that the Exynos is worse at benchmarks and will also never get as much third party driver support as Qualcomm gets. So comparing the GPUs is moot imo.

      • Jingle Bells on 26/02/2026 - 12:59

        It is alright if you are light to moderate user, as i have used s9 with Exynos 9810, s21 with Exynos 2100 in past and had no problem. Agree they are not as good as snapdragon but does the work.

    • Jingle Bells on 26/02/2026 - 12:55

      Agree. I was using s21 for sometimes now with 4000mah as day to day. Battery health went down recently to roughly 85% so bough s26. Anyway will see how Samsung go in next few year with battery cap, bigger is better i guess.

    • eug on 26/02/2026 - 13:00

      what the…should be 7000+ given new battery tech

      If the swelling problem with silicon carbon hasn't been solved I don't blame them for not switching yet.

      • aong152 on 26/02/2026 - 13:09
        +2

        I dont think there is a real swelling problem, since there are now 4~ year old first gen phones from oppo etc that dont swell.

        • eug on 26/02/2026 - 16:28
          +1

          I dont think there is a real swelling problem, since there are now 4~ year old first gen phones from oppo etc that dont swell.

          Which phones were those?

          The first phone with a silicon carbon battery that I can see is the China-release Honor Magic5 Pro in 2023, at 5,450mAh. The global model was released with a standard 5,100mAh lithium ion battery. The difference was just 6.8% more capacity; presumably they didn't add too much silicon to avoid any issues.

          It's only later on when companies like Vivo used higher silicon content for their much higher-capacity cells (e.g. the china-only Vivo X100 in mid 2024). Those are still relatively new so it'll be interesting to see how they fare. Hopefully swelling won't be a problem. The S series phones sell in the tens of millions so even a 0.001% defect rate would be really bad for the company's image like what happened with the Note 7.

          • aong152 on 26/02/2026 - 16:51

            @eug: i think we watched the same youtube video - "true" silicon carbon should yield 10x the capacity albiet 300% swelling.

            currently manufacturers are carefully adding more silicon content, for a small capacity bump with minimal swelling.

            • eug on 26/02/2026 - 16:57

              @aong152:

              i think we watched the same youtube video

              Hmm I don't think so, I don't remember a video mentioning a 4 year old silicon carbon phone?

      they learn this from the f@$k apple.
      i used to have its Galaxy Watch Ultra. it's not cheap and 47mm so enough room, i watched a review (at that time only one review) said 100+hr battery before buying, turn out normal use only last for around 2day max. so i sold it on ebay and blacklist that dude.

    • 0806449 on 26/02/2026 - 14:25

      Yeh I purposely bought S25 base late last year and see if S26 will be a better.
      Now with confirmed chip and what ever upgrades……
      I'll keep the S25
      Not a heavy user, so set battery protection to 85% from day 1…. Only charge to 100% on road trip in NZ

      There was a Chinese youtuber that tested consumer chinese devices and found actually performance vastly different to press devices given out, so I don't trust the silicon carbide batteries yet

      With Yello and first purchase you can get it down to around $1,500 for the 256gb version, then people are using various extra discount codes to push it down to around $1,350 or so.

      That is correct normal price after vouchers is around 963 something but if you add bud 4 and GALAXYAI voucher that will add more discount to your phone. 100 voucher would get from Samsung members or chat though support. Combank code would be uniq to each if i am correct same as Samsung.

          For those stacking CBA Yello and Amex. Type in your CBA cc details on the checkout/payment page, it will verify it. Disconnect/turn off connectivity. Enter in Amex details. Reconnect and complete the payment process.

          It seems the CBA card verification process is called by the page and not at the actual time of payment. If that makes sense.

              @danger163:

              Go through checkout to payment option
              Put your CBA card details in to validate
              Disconnect your internet
              Change card details
              Turn internet back on
              Complete order

              From what I understand from the instructions is that when you are typing in your CC details, that is when it verifies if you are using a CBA CC.

              You type in your CC details, which at the same time it will verify that it is a valid CBA CC in the background.
              Immediately after entering your credentials (don't hit pay), disconnect your internet/wifi and on the same page just put in your AMEX CC details (it will try to verify if it's a valid CBA CC but can't because you are OFFLINE).
              After your AMEX CC is entered, go back online and hit pay.

    If you are in the market for 2 phones, you get double the discounts for each code.

    Hack: The GALAXYAI code reduced the price by $400, but you only need $200 worth of galaxy add-ons. So you can reduce the price by $200 total ($100 per phone). Pretty decent. Someone mentioned it in the other thread, but others claimed it didnt work. I suspect it only works on the Commbank sub-site.

      Only if you add buds 4 otherwise it would be around 960. So if you add buds and code you can get buds for 10 bucks. And that will drop prices on your phone but buds will still listed as 198 something on inv.

    How do you get the 26S-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX code from? Thanks

    Bought s26 smallest version 512GB + 1 x silicon magnet case, 2 x magnet charger and 1 x 50w charger for $1094.83 using this post's method.
    I have no idea how the op made it below than $1000, but this is way better than my previous order for 1 less magnet charger for $1233. I have cancelled that order already. Thanks OP

      Ah i know the difference now!
      This is different from samsung official store which offers free upgrade from 256 to 512.
      In this partner store, 256 and 512 have different prices. That makes sense to me now.
      So i actually bought a larger rom one than the OP, which cost me about $120 more.

        When you say different stores, what's the alternative to the Samsung official store? Where is the 256gb and 512gb prices differently, the Samsung education store or elsewhere?

          Commbank partner store. The same domain name but different store

    S26 or S26Ultra more value for money?

      It might be trickly to tell but defiantly if you link big phone go for ultra that provides more features and factuality. Smaller phones are easy to carry and hold with restricted features like cameras, battery etc but cost less.
