iPhone 17 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S26+

iPhone 17 Pro

Shares the Pro Max aluminum unibody and camera plateau design in a more compact 6.3-inch form factor, making it the best small flagship available.

• The compact 6.3-inch size with aluminum unibody hits the sweet spot for one-handed use without sacrificing premium feel
• Same vapor chamber cooling as Pro Max keeps the phone comfortable during extended gaming and video recording sessions
• At 194g, it is noticeably lighter than the Pro Max, making it more comfortable for all-day use

Samsung Galaxy S26+

The S26+ adopts a more "Ultra-like" design with less rounded corners for a unified family look. The Armor Aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection are solid. At ~7.3mm thin and ~190g, it's comfortable to hold.

• The more angular design brings it closer to the Ultra aesthetic — Samsung is creating a more unified design language across the S26 family
• IP68 water resistance and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 mean the S26+ remains one of the more durable options in its class
