I used the Pixel 11 Pro XL and Galaxy S26 Ultra for a week. This is the one I’d keep

An Android Authority reviewer spent one week alternating between the Google Pixel 11 Pro XL and the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra to determine which device provided a better user experience.

According to 9to5Google, Samsung is preparing to launch a new flagship lineup in 2027 that includes a fourth model, the Galaxy S27 Pro. This new model is expected to feature a design and capabilities like Privacy Display usually reserved for the Ultra tier, though it will lack an S Pen and carry a lower price.

Reported production shifts indicate that Samsung may allocate over 70 percent of its production capabilities to the Galaxy S27 Ultra and the S27 Pro. While the Galaxy S26 Ultra accounted for approximately 50 percent of a series' production volume with 18 million units, Samsung intends to maintain the Ultra tier at around 18 million units for the upcoming cycle. The addition of the S27 Pro is expected to move approximately 7 or 8 million sales upmarket from the standard Galaxy S27 or S27+ models.
