Six Strong Alternatives to the Pixel 11 Pro XL

Android Central argues the Pixel 11 Pro XL impresses with cameras and Gemini AI, but its lower RAM, smaller battery, and weaker GPU make it hard to recommend in some cases. It then recommends six alternate phones: Galaxy S26 Ultra for a familiar high-end Android experience, RedMagic 11S Pro for top performance and lengthy gaming sessions, POCO F8 Ultra for strong all‑round values and 100W charging, the iPhone 17 Pro for a stable iOS ecosystem, and the OPPO Find X9 Pro and Vivo X300 Pro as premium camera rivals (noting the Find X9 Pro and Vivo X300 Pro aren’t widely available in the US).

Samsung confirms Galaxy S26 Ultra red tint is software-based, offering calibration and a future remote fix

Samsung says the reddish center tint seen on some Galaxy S26 Ultra displays is a software issue, not hardware. A complimentary calibration can fix it at official service centers with same-day service, and Samsung is preparing a remote software update to apply the calibration without a service visit; details on the update timeline will be announced.

Four Phones That Outshine the Pixel 10 for Photography

The Pixel 10, while improved with a triple-camera setup, isn’t the top camera phone. Four rivals offer stronger photography and video capabilities: Google’s own Pixel 10 Pro/Pro XL with larger sensors and better lenses; the iPhone 17 Pro with ProRes RAW and 4K/120fps video; the Oppo Find X9 Ultra with a quad camera and 8K video (though not sold in the U.S. and priced around $2,000); and the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra with high‑resolution sensors, 8K video, and Horizon Lock—though price and availability vary, with Pixel 10 starting around $599 and rivals typically higher.

Galaxy S26 Ultra red tint blamed on software; update coming

Samsung says the central red stain seen on some Galaxy S26 Ultra units is a software optimization issue, not OLED hardware burn-in, and a fix will arrive via a future software update; affected devices can also visit a Samsung service center for an immediate resolution. The phone uses LEAD 2.0 OLED for Privacy Display, which alters color transmission and viewing angles.

Galaxy S26 Ultra Delivers Near-Professional Color Accuracy in Display Test

PhoneArena’s test of the Galaxy S26 Ultra shows highly accurate color reproduction, averaging Delta E values of 2.14 at 300 nits and 2.61 at 200 nits, enough for professional work. Privacy Display raises Delta E to 3.07 at the default setting and up to 5.84 at max; anti-glare coating does not hurt color accuracy. For best results, keep Natural color profile and disable Privacy Display.

Foldable Showdown: Galaxy Z Fold 8 Renders Face Off Against S26 Ultra

Two new renders reveal the Galaxy Z Fold 8 in folded and unfolded states and compare it to the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The leaks pin down dimensions (closed 123.9 x 81.9 x 9.7 mm; open 123.9 x 161.4 x 4.5 mm) and a 201 g weight, suggesting the Fold 8 will be shorter, wider, lighter, and slightly thicker than the Fold 7, with a July 22 launch teased for Galaxy Unpacked.

Budget Galaxy M47 battery behemoth could outlast flagship S26 Ultra

Samsung’s budget Galaxy M47 (the Indian version of the Galaxy A27 5G) packs a 6,000 mAh battery at around $245, delivering far more stamina than the $1,300 Galaxy S26 Ultra, which sticks to 5,000 mAh; the M47 features a 6.7-inch 120Hz display, triple cameras, 6 GB RAM, Android 16/One UI 8.5 with six OS upgrades, and microSD expansion, though it’s only confirmed for India for now and not the US. Battery tests cited by the article suggest the S26 Ultra’s endurance lags behind rivals like the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Galaxy S26 Ultra: Faster Chip, More RAM, and Cooler Performance

The Galaxy S26 Ultra upgrades performance with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, delivering a 19% faster CPU, 24% faster GPU, and 39% faster NPU vs the S25 Ultra, aided by a larger vapor chamber for 21% better heat dissipation. The chip uses a 3nm process for efficiency, enabling sustained higher speeds and cooler operation, while up to 16GB RAM and UFS 4.0 storage improve multitasking, app launches, and data throughput. These changes translate to snappier daily use, smoother gaming, and more capable on-device AI across Galaxy AI features.

iPhone 17 Pro Tops Fast-Charging Showdown; Galaxy S26 Ultra Leads Wired Speed

CNET tested 33 phones and found the iPhone 17 Pro is the fastest overall charger thanks to its balanced wired (40W) and wireless (Qi2.2) speeds, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra delivers the fastest wired charging at 60W. The iPhone 17 Pro also led wireless charging in their tests (55% in 30 minutes) aided by magnets. Silicon-carbon batteries (e.g., OnePlus 15) can reach very high speeds but are not widely available in the US. Apple shows the most consistent fast charging across its lineup; overall speed depends on charger compatibility and battery size, not just the phone’s max spec.
