“That said, if you're shopping in this price range, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra offers greater raw performance, a useful Privacy Display with S Pen stylus support, and equally capable cameras, so it remains our Editors' Choice winner.”

“For the iPhone’s 10th anniversary, Apple released the iPhone X , a stunning glass-and-steel monolith that also introduced Face ID and redesigned mobile software for the swipe-up instead of a physical home button. Google made no such grand makeover for the 10th anniversary of its Pixel phones. The Pixel 11 Pro and 11 Pro XL are mostly incrementally better versions of the Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL .”
