Apple iPhone 17 vs Samsung Galaxy S26+

Playback and charge setups are distinct manufacturer claims, not mixed-use battery life or measured sustained input.

Typical capacity, playback and charge endpoint are different manufacturer claims. Adapter power is not maximum handset input or sustained measured power.

Directly published pixel dimensions.

Exact model pixel dimensions; FHD+ and QHD+ remain different tiers.

Front-camera optics and autofocus are read separately from the rear system.

The separate Front Camera rows identify pixels, aperture and autofocus.

The complete two-module inventory contains main and ultra-wide only. The 2× mode is main-sensor framing, not a dedicated telephoto lens.

Native optical lens maximum, separate from optical-quality crop reach.

Explicit technology, without inferring measured contrast or motion.

Explicit panel designation, without independent motion or contrast claims.

Explicit outdoor peak, separate from typical and HDR maxima; manufacturer claim.

Manufacturer's FAQ lists 2,600-nit peak for both S26 and S26+; not independently measured.

Fusion Main and Fusion Ultra Wide are explicitly the two physical rear cameras.

Named physical camera inventory; optical-quality crops are not extra cameras.

Advertised nominal diagonal, not actual viewable area.

Full-rectangle advertised diagonal; rounded corners and camera hole reduce viewable area.

Labelled height in millimetres.

Labelled height.

Device mass, not shipping mass; configuration and manufacture can vary.

Exact UK device mass, not parcel or differently configured mass.

Labelled width; larger is not inherently preferable.

Labelled width; larger is not automatically preferable.

Nominal diagonal, resolution and adaptive maximum are kept together; this is not measured motion quality.

Exact model diagonal and pixel dimensions; shared adaptive-range claim is from the named UK launch table.

Individually labelled dimensions were reordered explicitly to height × width × depth.

Uses the labelled SKU table HxWxD order, not launch width-first positions.

Labelled depth; camera-bump dimensions are not invented.

Labelled depth, without an invented camera-bump measurement.

The maintained configuration is a listed capacity; storage is not RAM.

Exact selected SKU table; neither 16 GB / 1 TB Ultra nor another capacity is substituted.

UK technical and regional model sections agree. A model identity is not a retailer-availability or carrier-support guarantee.

Actual retrieved selected-SKU response, not a guessed order code. Identity does not establish current stock or carrier compatibility.

Ordinary rear 4K recording maximum, separate from Cinematic, Action and simultaneous capture.

The table lists UHD120 under Slow Motion, not ordinary rear 4K capture. A normal-mode maximum needs additional mode-specific evidence.

Front-camera maximum is independently listed.

General Video Recording Resolution does not establish the front-camera maximum.

Sensor-shift OIS is explicitly attached to Fusion Main.

The exact SKU table gives rear-system OIS but does not attach it to every lens. Lens-specific proof remains separate.

Rear-system OIS is not transferred to the front lens.

Mode-specific 4K maximum, not ordinary rear recording.

No source recorded for this side.

Lithium-ion construction is listed without mAh. Playback duration does not establish capacity.

Direct typical capacity, separate from rated minimum.

40 W is the adapter requirement in a charge-time test; it is not published maximum handset input.

45 W is the named adapter in the source test; a maximum sustained handset-input value is not established by that requirement.

The stated wired test uses a separately sold 40 W or higher adapter and USB-C cable. It is not full-charge time.

The source publishes a different endpoint. It does not establish a 0–50% time, and no linear interpolation is used.

The manufacturer does not publish RAM capacity in this specification.

The exact SKU table does not identify a UFS version.

No source recorded for this side.

Explicit embedded-SIM and mixed/dual-eSIM arrangements; provider support remains separate.
