Samsung

Samsung has managed to achieve no other smartphone maker has been able to do. And I haven't really heard a lot of people talking about it. Now, it seems to be the general consensus in 2026 that Samsung's flagship S26 Ultra is completely freaking mugged by Chinese smartphone competition, at least in terms of hardware. But what's actually kinda hilarious is that many of these Chinese smartphones which compete on a much higher level than Samsung's Ultra flagship competition, usually have displays supplied by Samsung, given to them by Samsung, RAM and storage given to them by Samsung, and even camera hardware given to them by Samsung that Samsung themselves don't use, even though they're technically better hardware than they're giving to the competition. One distinct advantage that Samsung has over the rest of the flagship competition smartphone experience, One UI is simply unbeatable. What non-Samsung phone if they have incredibly, reliable, and lacking a lot of special features and customization options. Their phones usually end up being really buggy and inconsistent, but not with One UI because Samsung has somehow struck the perfect balance.
