With the nature of work requiring constant messaging, content review, work processing while on the go, or holding the phone for extended periods at events, the smartphone is no longer simply an entertainment device. It has almost become a work tool always present in hand. And when using the phone 10-12 hours a day, the differences in weight and size begin to become much more apparent.
The difference of a thin and light machine
According to Huy NL, the difference in weight or size is difficult to notice in a few minutes of quick testing. But when using the phone continuously for weeks, that feeling starts to change noticeably.

The Galaxy S26+ has been Huy NL's companion smartphone for many months now. |
Despite having a 6.7-inch screen, the Galaxy S26+ weighs only about 190g and is 7.3mm thin – significantly lighter than many current flagships. In fact, the difference of a few tens of grams doesn't make an immediate impression, but it's easily noticeable after hours of continuous use.

In a world of large and heavy flagship phones, the feel in the hand is what Huy NL appreciates most about the Galaxy S26+. |
Huy NL said that he used to think heavier phones felt more substantial and premium. But as his usage increased, his priorities shifted towards more practicality.
"There were days when I was at events all day, and I almost always had my phone in my hand. That's when I realized how much a lighter phone really made a difference," he shared.
Not only is it lighter, the Galaxy S26+ also feels more comfortable to use in everyday situations such as holding it with one hand to reply to messages, putting it in your pocket while on the go, or using it continuously before bed without causing wrist fatigue like many large flagship models currently on the market.
The Galaxy S26+ still optimizes the user experience.
According to Huy NL, the reason he continues to use the Galaxy S26+ daily is not only its slim and lightweight design, but also the fact that it almost doesn't feel like a trade-off for a flagship experience.
"I used to think that a lighter phone would mean sacrificing something like battery life, performance, or camera. But the Galaxy S26+ doesn't give me that feeling," he commented.

According to the Geekbench performance benchmarking tool, the Galaxy S26/S26+ (on the right) with the Exynos 2600 chip achieved scores nearly equivalent to the Galaxy S26 Ultra (on the left). |
In his daily work, Huy NL frequently handles photo editing, shoots short videos , reviews content from the team, and needs to respond very quickly while on the go. These tasks require a phone that consistently maintains stability, responsiveness, and has enough battery life for a full day of continuous use.
The Galaxy S26+ is equipped with a 2nm Exynos 2600 processor and similar Galaxy AI features to the Ultra series. According to Huy NL, these are the things that make the most noticeable difference in real-world use, rather than just in benchmark tests.
For example, features like content summarization or AI-powered photo editing help him process tasks significantly faster in many everyday situations. For quick video recordings at events, the Audio Eraser feature also helps remove ambient noise directly on the device instead of having to switch to other software for processing.

As a content creator, Huy NL often edits photos using commands directly within Photo Assist to easily upload them to social media. |
What Huy NL appreciates most is that these features go hand in hand with a smooth user experience. The Galaxy S26+ boasts a full-focus camera system, a 4,900 mAh battery sufficient for a full day, and stable performance even when handling multiple tasks continuously. For him, that's the balance a modern flagship phone needs.
Providing a comfortable experience every day.
According to Huy NL, high-end smartphones in recent years have gradually followed the trend of "bigger is better." Many flagship models continuously increase screen size, weight, and the number of cameras to create a difference in specifications. However, from a practical user perspective, he believes that not everyone needs a phone in that direction.
For him, the Galaxy S26+ is one of the few flagships currently available that still maintains a good balance. It's powerful enough for work, has enough battery life for heavy use, and the camera still meets daily shooting needs well, but at the same time doesn't feel too bulky to carry around constantly.

According to Huy NL, a good smartphone doesn't necessarily need to have everything, but it should provide comfort to the user. |
“There were things I previously thought only the Ultra could do well. But after using the S26+ for a while, I realized that my practical daily needs were almost fully met,” Huy NL shared.
According to him, a good flagship phone isn't necessarily the device that makes the biggest impression in the first few minutes. More important is the comfortable user experience over the long term – something that's only truly appreciated after weeks or months of continuous use.
