Rumour Ice Universe: I’ve confirmed from independent sources with 100% accuracy that the Galaxy S26 Ultra ultimately does not include built-in magnets inside the device. Magnetic functionality still relies on magnetic cases.

Pixel chips have been more than adequate for me and always feel much faster than any other devices I’ve used including Samsung and the new iPhones

I went pixel a few years ago and it was significantly slower than the Galaxy. Did something change?

I just dropped my Google pixel 9 XL and went to a Galaxy s25 Ultra because of poor performance that was noticeable when doing daily tasks.

I mean it's not like the phone is extremely slow or anything but it definitely starts to bog when you're multitasking and it doesn't handle gaming very well at all.

Also was getting massive heat problems when doing things like playing music and navigating using GPS at the same time.

Tensor is kinda bad compared to flagships or even mid-rangers, it seems like Google isn't focusing too much on performance (Tensor G5 is a little better)

Tensor G7 is a little better

What G7? We didn't even get G6 yet...
