What to pay attention to when choosing a MagSafe case for the Galaxy S26 Ultra?

When choosing a magnetic case for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (MagSafe case), it’s worth paying attention to a few key aspects that affect daily use.

The strength of the magnets determines how stably the case works with accessories. The original Samsung case and models from reputable brands like Spigen or PITAKA offer the strongest magnetic connection, which is particularly important when using car mounts.

The material affects durability, grip, and appearance. Aramid fiber (PITAKA) is the lightest and most durable choice. TPU with polycarbonate (Spigen, ESR) combines flexibility with rigidity. Silicone (Ringke) provides the best grip. Eco-leather (Karl Lagerfeld) looks luxurious but requires more care.

The level of protection varies significantly. If you tend to drop your phone, choose a case with a Military Grade certification (Supcase, 3MK) or Air Cushion technology (Spigen). For everyday use without extreme conditions, standard protection is sufficient.

Compatibility with Qi2 is another important aspect. The Qi2 standard (the successor to Qi) uses magnets for precise positioning of the phone on the charger. All MagSafe cases for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra in our ranking support this standard, so you can charge wirelessly without removing the case.

Design vs protection is an age-old compromise. Ultra-slim cases like the PITAKA Edge Case look great but offer less protection than the rugged Supcase Cosmo Mag. Consider whether your lifestyle requires reinforced protection or if basic safeguarding against everyday scratches is sufficient.

Which MagSafe case for Galaxy S26 Ultra to choose? Recommendations

Display and External Appearance

What has changed in the design and display of POCO F8 Pro compared to F7 Pro?

In terms of appearance and build quality, both models present a high level, but the POCO F8 Pro introduces a few subtle changes that affect daily ergonomics:

Smaller dimensions and lower weight: The F8 Pro is shorter (157.5 mm vs 160.3 mm) and lighter (199 g vs 206 g), which translates to more comfortable one-handed use.
Rounded edges and better grip: The new shape of the F8 Pro features gentle curves and a thinner bottom bezel, making the phone fit better in the hand.
Identical IP68 resistance class: Both smartphones are resistant to dust and immersion in water up to 1.5 m for 30 minutes, confirming a high standard of workmanship.

The change in form is not revolutionary, but the F8 Pro is noticeably more compact and “smoother” in daily use – without compromising on sturdiness.

➡️ If you want to improve the protection and grip of the device, choose the appropriate case for POCO F7 Pro or case for POCO F8 Pro.

Screen: sharpness vs brightness – which is better for the eyes?

POCO F7 Pro impresses with its classic form – a flat 6.67″ AMOLED display with WQHD+ resolution (3200×1440 px) and thin, symmetrical bezels. With 12-bit color depth, support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, and very high sharpness (526 ppi), it is the perfect display for those who value detail – for reading, watching high-quality movies, or playing graphically intensive games.

The POCO F8 Pro features a smaller 6.59″ screen with a resolution of 2510×1156 px (446 ppi). Importantly, it has a significantly higher peak brightness – up to 3500 nits (vs 3200 nits in F7 Pro), making it better for outdoor use. Additionally, it supports Wet Touch 2.0 mode, which enhances touch responsiveness in rain or with wet fingers – a rarity even among flagships.

Both displays support 120 Hz refresh rate and advanced dimming (PWM/DC), but differ in priority: F7 Pro focuses on sharpness and pixel density, while F8 Pro prioritizes comfort in all lighting conditions. – the screen responds better to touch in humid conditions. Both displays are top quality, but the choice depends on whether detail (F7 Pro) or brightness and response time (F8 Pro) is more important.

➡️ Check the matched tempered glass for POCO F7 Pro or tempered glass for POCO F8 Pro to avoid screen damage.

Cameras and Photo-Video Capabilities

Telephoto vs No Tele – an advantage that is immediately visible

Both smartphones use the same, very good 50 MP Light Fusion 800 sensor as the main camera. It is a 1/1.55″ sensor with OIS, large 2.0 μm pixels (after 4-in-1 binning) and excellent photo quality both day and night. However, this is where the similarities end.

🔍 POCO F8 Pro – a huge leap thanks to the 50 MP telephoto lens

F8 Pro is the only one in this pair that has a dedicated 50 MP telephoto lens with a focal length of 60 mm, which offers:

2× optical zoom without loss of quality,
significantly better portrait photos with natural background separation,
sharper detail photos from a greater distance,
Super Moon mode and adaptive zoom.

This makes the F8 Pro clearly more versatile in photography.

🌄 POCO F7 Pro – only wide and ultra-wide

The F7 Pro offers two cameras:

50 MP main (the same as in F8 Pro),
8 MP ultra-wide.

The lack of a telephoto lens means that every zoom is digital, so quality decreases with close-ups. Portraits also look weaker – the bokeh effect is more artificial.

🎥 Video – both record in 8K, but the F8 Pro does it better

F7 Pro: 8K 24 fps, 4K 60 fps.
F8 Pro: 8K 30 fps, 4K 60 fps + more stabilization modes.

Additionally, the F8 Pro offers:

director mode,
dual video recording,
ShootSteady,
better motion tracking.

🤳 Selfie Camera – tie

Both phones have the same 20 MP front camera, offering HDR, portrait mode, and 1080p 60 fps recording.

Section summary: If you take a lot of photos, especially portraits and close-ups — the F8 Pro is a crushing winner. The F7 Pro provides great quality from the main sensor, but it lacks versatility.

Battery and Charging

Greater capacity or greater convenience? Differences you can feel every day

In terms of battery, both models perform excellently, but they differ in their approach to runtime and additional features.

🔋 POCO F7 Pro — solid 6000 mAh battery

Capacity: 6000 mAh
Wired charging: 90W HyperCharge
No reverse charging

The F7 Pro offers very good runtime — even 7–8 hours SOT, and with 90W it can be charged quickly. This is an excellent battery in its price range.

⚡ POCO F8 Pro — larger battery, faster charging, and power bank function

Capacity: 6210 mAh (210 mAh more)
Wired charging: 100W HyperCharge (full charge in about 30 minutes)
Reverse charging 22.5W — you can charge your headphones, smartwatch, or a second phone

The F8 Pro offers a realistically longer battery life (on average +40–60 minutes) and additionally acts as a portable power bank thanks to fast reverse charging.

📌 Which smartphone has a better battery?

If you care about maximum convenience and the fastest charging → choose POCO F8 Pro.
If you want very good battery life at a lower price → the F7 Pro is still a great choice.

In practice: the advantage of the F8 Pro is clear, as it combines greater capacity, better charging technology, and additional features that the F7 Pro does not offer.

➡️ To take advantage of the full power of 100W, it’s worth checking fast chargers for POCO F8 Pro, which support the PD/PPS standard and enable the fastest possible charging of the phone.

Performance and Computing Power

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in POCO F7 Pro – powerful, stable, predictable

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has long been Qualcomm’s most powerful processor and still performs excellently in 2025. It is a chip that guarantees:

high level of fluidity in applications,
stable performance even during long gaming sessions,
good cooling performance and energy efficiency.

In everyday use, the F7 Pro operates dynamically — switching apps, multitasking, and media handling are fast and seamless. In gaming, the phone maintains frame rates very well, although in the heaviest FPS titles, it can slightly drop after longer sessions.

In short: The F7 Pro still offers flagship-level performance, but at a lower price.

Snapdragon 8 Elite in POCO F8 Pro – groundbreaking Oryon architecture

The Snapdragon 8 Elite is in a completely different league. Qualcomm has implemented the Oryon architecture, which is significantly more advanced than classic ARM cores.

The main advantages:

significantly higher single-core performance, which is felt with every touch of the screen,
much stronger Performance cores, which maintain stable clock speeds under heavier loads,
better performance with AI and multimedia, which affects photo and video processing, transcription, and content recognition.

In practice, the F8 Pro works faster — apps open instantly, animations are more responsive, and the phone hardly slows down even with 30–40 apps in the background.

System and Smart Features

HyperOS 2 vs HyperOS 3 – is the difference noticeable?

POCO F7 Pro runs on HyperOS 2 (Android 15), while the POCO F8 Pro debuts with HyperOS 3 based on Android 16. Although the interface is visually similar, the differences are clear in performance and system features.

HyperOS 3 in POCO F8 Pro — faster, smoother, smarter

The new version of HyperOS introduces several improvements:

better power management thanks to the new processor workload schedule,
more responsive animations — utilizing the higher performance of Oryon,
enhanced AI modules that speed up photo processing, translations, and searches,
greater stability of background applications due to RAM optimization.

F8 Pro also leverages the power of Snapdragon 8 Elite for AI features that F7 Pro does not support, e.g., at such quality or speed.

HyperOS 2 in POCO F7 Pro — still fast, but less flexible

HyperOS 2 is a very stable and lightweight system that offers:

quick app switching,
intuitive gestures,
wide customization options,
good RAM management.

It works great, but it lacks some AI enhancements that only appeared in version 3.

🔐 Security and Biometrics

Both phones offer:

ultrasonic fingerprint reader in the display,
AI facial recognition,
regular security updates.

The difference is that F8 Pro will be supported longer, as HyperOS 3 is a newer generation of the system.

Conclusions — which system is better?

F7 Pro → fast, stable, refined, ideal for those who do not need next-generation AI features.
F8 Pro → more future-proof, faster in animations, smarter, better utilizes processor power.

👉 If you care about up-to-date software and the best responsiveness — F8 Pro wins.

Connectivity and Global Standards

eSIM, 5G, Wi-Fi — here is one of the key differences

In terms of connectivity, both models offer a full set of modern technologies, but the POCO F8 Pro has a more flexible SIM configuration and newer wireless connectivity standards.

SIM Cards — F8 Pro’s Advantage with eSIM Support

POCO F7 Pro

Dual nanoSIM (2× physical cards)
No eSIM support.

POCO F8 Pro

nano SIM + nano SIM
or
nano SIM + eSIM
or
eSIM + eSIM

eSIM requires activation with the operator and may have roaming restrictions — depending on the country and service provider.

This is a significant advantage of the F8 Pro, especially for those using:

two numbers,
foreign profiles,
eSIM cards in a smartwatch or for easy operator switching.

Supported 5G and LTE bands

Both phones support the same key bands:

5G SA/NSA,
wide range of TDD and FDD bands for Europe,
full operator support in Poland (Orange, Play, Plus, T-Mobile).

However, the F8 Pro has a somewhat richer list of bands, especially in 5G SA/NSA, making it more future-proof.

📡 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

F7 Pro

Wi-Fi 7, Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 5
Bluetooth 5.4

F8 Pro

Wi-Fi 7 (more comprehensive support, 8×8 MU-MIMO),
support for multiple links (multi-link),
Bluetooth 5.4,
support for LDAC, LHDC 5.0, AptX Adaptive, and a full set of codecs.

In practice:

F8 Pro has more stable connections in crowded networks,
better BT sound quality,
lower latency in games.

GPS and location

Both models have very broad support for global systems:

GPS L1+L5
Galileo E1+E5a
QZSS
GLONASS
Beidou
NavIC

The differences in practice are minimal — both phones offer fast and precise positioning, even in the city.

Connectivity Summary

POCO F8 Pro wins because it offers:

eSIM in multiple configurations,
more advanced Wi-Fi 7,
wider range of 5G bands,
better audio BT codecs.

F7 Pro is still very good, but the F8 Pro offers more options and is more future-proof.

Prices and Availability in Poland

What are the prices of POCO F7 Pro and F8 Pro?

In official Polish sales, the list price of the F8 Pro (12 GB RAM + 512 GB) is 2299 PLN.
The cheaper variant of the F8 Pro (12/256 GB) started at 2099 PLN.
Some stores may also have promotional offers — then the price may be lower, although it rarely drops to a level similar to the F7 Pro.

Conclusions:

The F8 Pro currently ranks above the level of “budget flagships” — the price of approx. 2099–2299 PLN reflects its modern features (telephoto lens, eSIM, powerful processor).
If you find the F7 Pro on sale (~1800–2000 PLN), it may be more cost-effective with a good compromise between price and capabilities.
The F8 Pro offers more options for the future — better camera, eSIM, faster charging — but you will pay more for it.

Summary: Which model to choose?

🔥 POCO F8 Pro — the choice for those who want:

the best possible performance (Snapdragon 8 Elite with Oryon architecture),
a better camera with 50 MP telephoto lens,
support for eSIM in various configurations,
a larger battery and 100W faster charging,
a more compact and lighter design,
longer system support (HyperOS 3).

This is a more future-proof, versatile phone aimed at demanding users.

💎 POCO F7 Pro — a choice for those who want:

a great screen WQHD+ 3200×1440 (a rarity at this price),
a very powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor,
a large 6000 mAh battery with 90W fast charging,
top gaming performance at a lower price,
a reasonable price/quality ratio.

This is the best choice if you care about flagship components but don’t want to exceed 2000 PLN (during promotions).

Final Verdict

If you want the best POCO 2025, choose F8 Pro.

The best cases for Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro [2026]

The best case for Galaxy Buds 4 is the Spigen Rugged Armor (85 PLN) – durable, with a matte finish and precise fit for the charging case. If you’re looking for a cheaper option, the Tech-Protect Slim Hook at 39 PLN offers a carabiner and a slim design. All cases in this ranking fit both Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro are among the most interesting true wireless headphones on the market. However, the charging cases are prone to scratches and mechanical damage. In this guide, we compare eight protective cases from Spigen, Ringke, and Tech-Protect.

We advise what to pay attention to when choosing and which case will work best depending on your needs. Looking for a case for an older model? Check out the case for Galaxy Buds 3 / 3 Pro.

What to pay attention to when choosing a case for Galaxy Buds 4?

Before we move on to the ranking, it’s worth knowing what to consider when choosing. A protective case for headphones is a small expense, but a good case for Galaxy Buds 4/4 Pro can protect your headphones from costly repairs.

Material and type of protection

Protective cases for Galaxy Buds 4 are made from three main materials. TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) is the most common choice – flexible, shock-absorbing, and scratch-resistant. Silicone provides a better grip and a pleasant texture, but it may attract dust. Polycarbonate (PC) offers rigid protection and a sleek appearance, but it absorbs falls less effectively.

The best protection is provided by dual-layer cases, combining a soft TPU core with a rigid polycarbonate outer shell. This solution is used, among others, by Spigen in the Lock Fit model.

Carabiner and Hook

Many users carry their headphones with them all day. A case with a carabiner or hook allows you to attach the Galaxy Buds 4 to a backpack, belt, or bag. This convenient solution minimizes the risk of losing the charging case.

Not every carabiner is equally sturdy. Metal hooks (like in Spigen Lock Fit) are more durable than plastic ones, but they add some weight.

Compatibility with Wireless Charging and MagSafe

All cases in this ranking allow for Qi wireless charging without removing the cover. It’s worth paying attention to models with a cutout for the LED – this way, you can immediately see the charging status. If you are looking for a wireless charger compatible with Galaxy Buds 4, you can find it in our offer.

An interesting option is the Ringke Onyx Magnetic with built-in MagSafe magnets. If you use a MagSafe charger or a magnetic mount, the case will provide a stable attachment.

Fit for Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro

Both Samsung headphone models – Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro – have identical dimensions for the charging case. All protective cases in this ranking fit both versions.

The Best Accessories for Google Pixel 10a — Cases, Glass Protectors, and Chargers for 2026

The best case for the Pixel 10a is the Spigen Ultra Hybrid (59 PLN) — transparent with raised edges and Air Cushion technology. The cheapest? The Bizon Case Salpa for 25 PLN. The Pixel 10a has a plastic back, so a case is not a luxury, but a necessity.

Tempered glass for Pixel 10a

Pixel 10a has Gorilla Glass 7i on the front — it’s durable glass, but it’s not indestructible when dropped on concrete. Tempered glass adds a protective layer for a few dozen PLN.

Tech-Protect Glass Fit+ 2-pack (25 PLN) — two glasses in a set for the price of one from the competition. Compatible with Pixel 9a and 10a (same screen size). The black frame masks the edges and gives an elegant look. Best value in this category.

Ringke Tempered Glass 2-pack (39 zł) — premium option with an oleophobic coating (resistant to fingerprints) and a hardness of 9H. Two glasses in the set — one for now, the other as a spare.

3MK FlexibleGlass (34,90 zł) — hybrid glass that combines the flexibility of a film with the hardness of glass. It does not shatter upon impact like traditional tempered glass. One piece in the package.

Chargers and power banks for Pixel 10a

Pixel 10a supports 30W charging via cable (USB PD 3.0) and 10W wirelessly (Qi). To take advantage of the full charging speed, you need a USB PD charger with a minimum power of 30W.

Wall charger — look for models with USB-C PD 30W+. A GaN charger (gallium nitride) will be compact and efficient. Check wall chargers at homescreen.pl.

Power bank — minimum 10,000 mAh with USB-C PD. If you bought a case with MagSafe (e.g., Ringke or Tech-Protect), a magnetic power bank will stick to the phone and charge it wirelessly. Power banks at homescreen.pl.

USB-C Cable — The Pixel 10a has USB-C 3.2, so you need a USB-C to USB-C cable that supports PD 30W+. Most cables in the box are 2.0 versions — a 3.2 cable will be useful for data transfer.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions about Pixel 10a Accessories

Does the Pixel 10a support MagSafe?
Not natively. The Pixel 10a has Qi standard (10W), but not MagSafe or Qi2. Cases with a built-in magnetic ring (e.g., Ringke Fusion Magnetic, Tech-Protect Flexair MagSafe) add compatibility with MagSafe accessories.

Do cases from the Pixel 9a fit the Pixel 10a?
No. The Pixel 10a has different dimensions (153.9 x 73 x 9 mm) than the Pixel 9a. Cases are not interchangeable between models. Tempered glass may be compatible — e.g., Tech-Protect Glass Fit+ is labeled as “Pixel 9a / 10a”.

What charger for the Pixel 10a?
A USB-C charger with PD (Power Delivery) of at least 30W. This provides full charging speed — 50% battery in 30 minutes.

Is the Pixel 10a waterproof?
Yes, it has an IP68 rating — dustproof and waterproof up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. A case is not required for waterproofing, but it protects against scratches and drops.

Does the Pixel 10a have a glass back?
No. The Pixel 10a has a plastic back — this is one of the reasons why a case is particularly important. Plastic scratches more easily than glass and doesn’t look as good after a few months without protection.

How much do accessories for the Pixel 10a cost?
Cases range from 25 PLN (Bizon Salpa) to 65 PLN (Ringke Fusion Magnetic MagSafe). Tempered glass ranges from 25 PLN (Tech-Protect 2-pack) to 39 PLN (Ringke 2-pack). A complete protection set (case + glass) can be purchased for 50–100 PLN.

Summary

The Pixel 10a is a great smartphone, but the plastic back needs protection. The good news is that accessories are cheap — you can buy a complete set (case + tempered glass) for just 50 PLN.

Key takeaways:

Best quality: Spigen Ultra Hybrid (59 PLN) — Air Cushion, transparent, trusted brand
Best with MagSafe: Ringke Fusion Magnetic (65 PLN) — magnetic ring + transparent
Best price-to-value ratio: Tech-Protect Flexair MagSafe (35 PLN) — MagSafe for half the price of Ringke
Rugged: 3MK Armor Case (49.90 PLN) — reinforced corners, Polish brand
Cheapest: Bizon Case Salpa (25 PLN) — minimum for minimum

Don’t forget about tempered glass — Tech-Protect Glass Fit+ for 25 PLN (2 pieces!) is an absolute must-have.

Samsung Galaxy A57 vs Galaxy A56 – which one to choose?

Samsung Galaxy A57 vs A56 – the main difference is the more powerful Exynos 1680 processor with AMD Xclipse 550 GPU and Android 16 with One UI 8.5. The display (6.7″ Super AMOLED, 120 Hz), battery (5000 mAh), and cameras (50 Mpix) are identical in both models. The starting price of the Galaxy A57 is about 300 PLN higher.

The Galaxy A57 is the successor to one of the best-selling mid-range phones of 2025. The Galaxy A56 gained immense popularity due to its solid specifications, attractive price, and long update support. In this comparison of Samsung Galaxy A57 vs A56, we examine both models point by point so you can choose the one that best fits your needs.

Specifications of Galaxy A57 vs Galaxy A56 – comparison table

Before we get into the details, it’s worth looking at a side-by-side comparison of the Galaxy A57 and A56. The table below summarizes the Samsung Galaxy A57 specifications and key technical parameters of both models.

Parameter	Samsung Galaxy A57 5G	Samsung Galaxy A56 5G
Display	6.7″ Super AMOLED, FHD+ (1080 × 2340), 120 Hz	6.7″ Super AMOLED, FHD+ (1080 × 2340), 120 Hz

Protection	IP67	IP67
Connectivity	5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 6.0	5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3
SIM	Dual SIM + eSIM	Dual SIM + eSIM
Price (Europe)	from approx. 539 EUR (~2,299 PLN)	from approx. 479 EUR (~1,999 PLN)

The full specifications of both models are available on the GSMArena website.

Tip: If you mainly care about the camera and RAM capacity, the Galaxy A56 with 12 GB RAM might be a better choice at a lower price.

Display of Galaxy A57 vs A56 – identical panel

Both the Galaxy A57 and A56 feature a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution (1080 × 2340 pixels) and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The peak brightness reaches 1900 nits, ensuring good readability even in bright sunlight.

Both models are protected by Gorilla Glass Victus+, which effectively safeguards against scratches and minor drops. Samsung did not opt to introduce LTPO technology (dynamic refresh rate change from 1 to 120 Hz), which would help save battery. LTPO remains reserved for the flagship Galaxy S series.

In the comparison of Galaxy A57 and A56 in terms of display, there are practically no differences. If you liked the screen of the Galaxy A56, you will get exactly the same panel in the A57.

However, it is worth protecting this great display from day one. Check out durable tempered glass for Galaxy A57 available at homescreen.pl.

Performance of Galaxy A57 vs A56 – Exynos 1680 vs Exynos 1580

Here, the Galaxy A57 makes the biggest leap forward. The new Exynos 1680 processor (4 nm) with AMD Xclipse 550 GPU offers a noticeable increase in computing power compared to the Exynos 1580 in the Galaxy A56.

Benchmarks and real-world performance

The Exynos 1680 uses CPU cores in a 1+3+4 configuration and a 4 nm lithography, similar to its predecessor. The key change is the Xclipse 550 GPU based on AMD RDNA architecture, which offers ray tracing support. This feature has so far only been available in flagship Exynos 2×00 processors from the Galaxy S series.

What does this mean in practice?

Mobile games run smoother. Titles like Genshin Impact or Call of Duty Mobile should maintain more stable frames per second, and ray tracing will add realism in supported games.
Applications open faster, and multitasking (switching between several apps at once) is smoother.
Photo and video editing – the stronger GPU accelerates rendering and applying filters in apps like Adobe Lightroom or CapCut.
Energy efficiency – the new chip is more energy-efficient, which may result in longer battery life despite higher performance.

The Galaxy A56 with Exynos 1580 still performs well in everyday use. If you don’t play demanding mobile games and mainly use social media, browsers, and messaging apps, the performance difference will not be noticeable. For the average user, both processors offer more power than needed for daily tasks.

Camera of Galaxy A57 vs Galaxy A56 – evolution, not revolution

Both phones have a triple camera setup with a main 50 Mpix sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 12 Mpix ultra-wide, and a 5 Mpix macro. The front camera in both cases is 12 Mpix with an f/2.2 aperture.

Samsung did not change the hardware configuration of the cameras, but the Galaxy A57 benefits from improved image processing thanks to the new processor. The Exynos 1680 supports AI algorithms for night photography, which enhance noise reduction and dynamic range in low light conditions.

Key differences in photography

Scenario	Galaxy A57	Galaxy A56
Daytime photos	Identical quality, same 50 Mpix sensor	Identical quality
Night mode	Faster processing, better noise reduction	Good, but slower processing
Video recording	Potentially better stabilization (stronger GPU)	Standard OIS stabilization
Selfies	No changes, 12 Mpix f/2.2	No changes, 12 Mpix f/2.2
Portrait with bokeh	Better background cutting thanks to AI	Good background cutting

In the comparison of Galaxy A57 vs A56, the camera differences will be subtle. The sensors remain the same, so photo quality in good lighting is practically identical. Improvements will mainly be visible in demanding conditions, such as night photography or dynamic video shots.

Battery and charging – no changes, but with better optimization

Both smartphones have a 5000 mAh battery and support 45 W fast charging (Super Fast Charge 2.0). The charger is not included in the box, so you will need to purchase it separately.

The Galaxy A56 charges from 0 to 65% in about 30 minutes, and a full charge takes about 68 minutes. The Galaxy A57 should achieve similar results, but thanks to the more energy-efficient Exynos 1680, the overall battery life on a single charge may be slightly longer.

Neither model supports wireless charging, which remains the domain of the flagship Galaxy S series. If you’re looking for a fast 45 W charger compatible with both models, check out network chargers with USB Power Delivery in our store. A solid USB-C cable supporting USB PD will also be useful.

Design and build quality

The Galaxy A57 is slimmer and lighter than its predecessor:

	Galaxy A57	Galaxy A56
Thickness	6.9 mm	7.4 mm
Weight	192 g	198 g
Dimensions	161.5 × 76.9 mm	162.2 × 77.5 mm

The difference of 0.5 mm in thickness and 6 g in weight may not look impressive on paper, but it is noticeable in hand. The Galaxy A57 feels more comfortable and appears more refined.

Both models have a flat frame, an IP67 rating (dust and water resistance up to 1 m for 30 minutes), and Gorilla Glass Victus+ on the front. The colors of the Galaxy A57 are gray, light blue, lilac, and navy blue, with a slightly different palette than the A56 (graphite, light gray, olive, pink).

Choose a case that highlights the slim design of the new model. At homescreen.pl, you will find cases for Galaxy A57 from Ringke, 3MK, Tech-Protect, and Bizon, with over 50 models starting from 29 PLN.

System and updates – Android 16 vs Android 15

The Galaxy A57 debuts with Android 16 and One UI 8.5, while the Galaxy A56 launched with Android 15 and One UI 7. This is an important difference, as the newer version of the system means:

Longer support for updates from the moment of release
New AI features integrated with One UI 8.5, including improved Galaxy AI with context recognition
Circle to Search 2.0 – enhanced visual search by circling an object on the screen
Improved notifications and interface customization
Bluetooth 6.0 (vs Bluetooth 5.3 in A56), providing better connection stability with wireless headphones

The Galaxy A56 will receive an update to Android 16, but it may take a few months from the release of the new system. Samsung provides 4 years of system updates and 5 years of security patches for both models, which according to Samsung’s official update policy is one of the longest support cycles in the mid-range market.

Galaxy A57 vs A56 – price and value for money

This is a key question for many buyers. The launch price of the Galaxy A57 in Poland starts at around 2,299 PLN for the 8/128 GB version, while the Galaxy A56 in the same configuration cost around 1,999 PLN at launch. This is a difference of about 300 PLN.

Variant	Galaxy A57 (launch price)	Galaxy A56 (current price)
8/128 GB	approx. 2,299 PLN	approx. 1,599-1,799 PLN
8/256 GB	approx. 2,599 PLN	approx. 1,799-1,999 PLN

The Galaxy A56, which has been on the market for over a year, can be purchased at a significantly lower price than at launch. This makes the value for money of the Galaxy A56 really hard to beat. With the saved 500-700 PLN, you can buy a complete set of protective accessories: a case, tempered glass, and a fast charger.

Which one to choose? Recommendations based on needs

Choose the Samsung Galaxy A57 if:
– You care about the latest processor and the highest performance in mobile gaming
– You want Android 16 and One UI 8.5 from day one
– You prefer a slimmer and lighter design
– You don’t mind paying a higher price for the latest solutions

Stick with the Samsung Galaxy A56 if:
– You are looking for great value for money
– You don’t need the latest processor for everyday use
– You want to save 300-500 PLN and spend it on accessories
– You prefer a model that has been proven by users, with Samsung Galaxy A56 reviews confirming its reliability (rating 4.6/5)

Our recommendation: For most users, the Galaxy A56 at its current reduced price is the better choice. The extra cost for the Galaxy A57 makes sense mainly for mobile gamers and those who always want the latest technology.

Accessories – protection for your new smartphone

Whether you choose the Galaxy A57 or the Galaxy A56, it’s worth getting protective accessories right away. Both models have a large 6.7″ display that should be protected with tempered glass from day one of use.

For Samsung Galaxy A57, you will find at homescreen.pl:

Summary

In the comparison of Samsung Galaxy A57 vs A56, it is clear that the new model is a solid, albeit evolutionary update. The main changes are the more powerful Exynos 1680 processor with AMD Xclipse 550 GPU and ray tracing, a slimmer body (6.9 vs 7.4 mm), a newer Android 16 system with One UI 8.5, and Bluetooth 6.0. The display, battery, camera, and charging remain practically unchanged.

With a price difference of about 300-700 PLN (considering the reduced price of the Galaxy A56 after a year on the market), the choice depends on your priorities. If performance and the latest system are your priorities, go for the A57. If value for money matters, in the comparison of Galaxy A57 vs Galaxy A56, the older model wins as one of the best mid-range phones on the market.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro - three color variants (pink, white, black) in open cases

🔊 Sound quality of Galaxy Buds 4 Pro vs Buds 3 Pro

Both models of Samsung in-ear headphones have a dual-driver system, but in the Buds 4 Pro, Samsung replaced both.

Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have a larger 11 mm woofer (vs 10.5 mm). In practice, this provides about 20% more diaphragm area, resulting in deeper, more controlled bass. Reviewers from SoundGuys and What Hi-Fi describe the sound as energetic yet precise, with better instrument separation.

Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, on the other hand, have a larger 6.1 mm planar tweeter (vs 5.4 mm in Buds 4 Pro). Theoretically, this should provide an advantage in high frequencies, but tests show that the Buds 3 Pro tended to have overly strong bass that “bled” into the mids.

Audio codecs

Both models support the same codecs: SBC, AAC, LC3, and Samsung Seamless Codec (SSC UHQ) with a resolution of up to 24 bit/96 kHz. Neither supports LDAC or aptX. SSC UHQ requires a Samsung Galaxy S23 or newer smartphone with One UI 6.1.1+.

This means that you will only get the full sound quality with a Samsung smartphone. With an iPhone or phones from other brands, these Samsung wireless headphones are limited to AAC, which is a noticeable loss of quality compared to SSC UHQ.

Tuning and sound character

The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have a slightly darker tuning with less emphasis on the high frequencies. The bass is deep but does not dominate the rest of the range. The mid frequencies (vocals, acoustic instruments) sound cleaner than in the predecessor.

The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have a brighter tuning with more detail in the high frequencies. The soundstage is slightly wider, but the bass can be too expansive, which in some genres (e.g., EDM, hip-hop) leads to “muddiness” in the low frequencies.

The Buds 4 Pro win in sound quality. Better controlled bass, cleaner mid frequencies, and generally a more balanced presentation. The difference is not revolutionary, but it is noticeable.

🔇 ANC: Galaxy Buds 4 Pro vs Buds 3 Pro

This is one of the biggest leaps between generations of these Samsung headphones.

Galaxy Buds 4 Pro feature Adaptive ANC 2.0, which monitors the environment in real-time and adjusts the noise cancellation to specific frequencies. In SoundGuys tests, these Samsung wireless earbuds reduced around 84% of ambient noise, placing them on par with AirPods Pro 3.

Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have first-generation Adaptive ANC, which operates based on programmed algorithms. It still provides effective noise reduction, but does not respond as dynamically to changing conditions.

The biggest improvement is seen in the range below 1 kHz, where the noise from air conditioning, fans, and street traffic resides. Both models struggle with sudden loud sounds.

Ambient Mode and Voice Detection

Both Samsung earbuds have:
– Voice Detection: automatic switching to ambient mode when you start speaking
– Ambient Mode: allowing sounds from the environment
– Adaptive EQ: adjustment to the shape of the ear

In ambient mode, Buds 4 Pro sound a bit more natural. The sounds from the environment do not have the “metallic” aftertaste that sometimes appeared in Buds 3 Pro. This is important if you use ambient mode on a daily basis (e.g., in the office).

Buds 4 Pro win this category. Adaptive ANC 2.0 is a real improvement, not a marketing slogan.

🎙️ Call Quality

Here the difference is most apparent and concerns both sides of the connection.

Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have 6 microphones with a VPU (Voice Pickup Unit) sensor, meaning bone conduction. Additionally, they feature Super Clear Call technology with a bandwidth of 16 kHz (Super Wideband), but only when paired with the Galaxy S26.

In a quiet environment, the voice sounds clear and natural. In noise, the microphone performs well, although there is a slight “digitalization” of the voice. The VPU captures vibrations from the jawbone, which helps isolate the voice from background noise.

Galaxy Buds 3 Pro also have 6 microphones, but without the VPU sensor. They support AI noise cancellation, but reviewers rated the call quality as “below average,” especially in loud environments.

Super Clear Call is an exclusive feature of the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro that doubles the voice bandwidth (from 8 kHz to 16 kHz). In practice, the caller hears you more clearly, and your voice sounds more natural. However, this requires the Galaxy S26, S26+, or S26 Ultra.

Winner: Buds 4 Pro. VPU and Super Clear Call are noticeable improvements, especially for those who make a lot of phone calls.

🔋 Samsung Buds 4 Pro vs Buds 3 Pro Battery

On paper, both models look identical: 6 hours with ANC, 7 hours without ANC, 26/30 hours with the case. But tests from independent publications paint a different picture.

Parameter	Buds 4 Pro (test)	Buds 3 Pro (test)
ANC on (SoundGuys)	6 h 1 min	4 h 31 min
Headphone capacity	61 mAh	53 mAh
Case capacity	530 mAh	515 mAh

Galaxy Buds 4 Pro with a 61 mAh battery (15% more than Buds 3 Pro) achieved exactly 6 hours and 1 minute in SoundGuys tests with ANC on. This result is close to the manufacturer’s claims.

Galaxy Buds 3 Pro with a 53 mAh battery lasted only 4 hours and 31 minutes in the same tests, which is 25% less than the claimed 6 hours.

Both models charge via USB-C and wirelessly (Qi). Samsung does not provide exact charging times, but in practice, fully charging the case with a cable takes about 1.5 hours. The earbuds themselves charge to full in about 50-60 minutes while in the case.

Battery: Advantage Buds 4 Pro. An hour and a half longer battery life in real conditions is a significant difference, especially during travel or long workouts.

🎨 Design and Comfort

Samsung has changed its approach to design in the Buds 4 Pro, focusing on premium materials.

Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have metal (aluminum) stems with a matte finish and delicate touch grooves. The case is flat, horizontal, with a transparent cover through which the earbuds are visible. Weighing 5.1 g per earbud makes them one of the lighter in this class.

Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have plastic stems with a backlit LED strip that lights up during pairing and notifications. The case is vertical, traditional, without a transparent cover. Weighing 5.4 g per earbud.

Fit and Ear Tips

The difference of 0.3 g per earbud sounds like nothing, but it matters during hours of wear. Both models come with 4 sizes of silicone ear tips (XS, S, M, L). Samsung claims that the Buds 4 Pro were designed based on the analysis of 100 million ear scans and 10,000 virtual simulations.

In practice, both models sit securely in the ear and are suitable for running and exercising. The IP57 certification means protection against dust and immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, which is sufficient for sweating during workouts.

Available colors:
– Buds 4 Pro: Black, White, Pink Gold
– Buds 3 Pro: Silver, White

A tie with a slight advantage for Buds 4 Pro. The aluminum stems look premium, and the lighter weight improves comfort. But if you like the LED on the stems of Buds 3 Pro, it’s a matter of taste.

📱 Smart features and Samsung ecosystem

Head gestures (only Buds 4 Pro)

A new feature exclusive to Samsung Buds 4 Pro: nodding your head answers a call, shaking your head rejects it. Works only with Samsung phones. A small but useful novelty when your hands are busy while cooking, training, or cycling.

Voice assistant

Buds 4 Pro support both Gemini and Bixby simultaneously: you say “Hey Google” or “Hey Bixby” without needing to select in settings. Buds 3 Pro require choosing one assistant (Bixby, Google Assistant, or Siri).

Having a dual assistant means you can use Gemini for questions and searches, and Bixby for controlling your Samsung phone settings. It’s a convenient solution for Galaxy ecosystem users.

Spatial Audio and 360 Audio

Both Samsung headphone models support spatial audio with head tracking. The effect is most noticeable when watching movies on the Samsung Galaxy Tab. In music, Spatial Audio can be controversial as it widens the soundstage at the expense of precision.

Other Common Features

Both models have:
– Real-Time Interpreter: real-time conversation translation (requires Galaxy AI)
– Auracast: audio sharing via Bluetooth LE Audio (e.g., sharing music with a friend)
– SmartThings Find: locating lost earbuds
– Adapt Sound: sound personalization based on hearing tests
– Dialogue Boost: enhancing dialogues in movies and podcasts
– Fall Detection: automatic notification to emergency contacts

Compatibility with Phones

These Samsung earbuds work with both Android and iOS. However, you will only fully utilize their capabilities (SSC UHQ, head gestures, Super Clear Call, Galaxy AI) with a Samsung smartphone.

With an iPhone, you lose: head gestures, Super Clear Call, SSC UHQ codec, SmartThings Find, and automatic pairing. You are left with AAC, basic ANC, and touch controls. If you have an iPhone, consider AirPods Pro 3 as an alternative.

💰 Price of Galaxy Buds 4 Pro vs Buds 3 Pro in Poland

Model	Launch Price	Current Price (March 2026)
Galaxy Buds 4 Pro	1099 PLN	1099 PLN
Galaxy Buds 3 Pro	1029 PLN	from approx. 650 PLN

This is the most important difference in this comparison. Samsung Buds 3 Pro, which launched at 1029 PLN, can now be purchased for 650-899 PLN (depending on the store and promotions). Galaxy Buds 4 Pro cost 1099 PLN without discounts.

The difference between the launch prices is only 70 PLN. But between the current price of Buds 3 Pro and Buds 4 Pro, it is even 200-450 PLN.

The question then comes down to: is Adaptive ANC 2.0, better battery performance in tests, head gestures, and Bluetooth 6.1 worth the extra 200-450 PLN?

If you are buying Samsung earbuds for several years and care about the best ANC and calls, the answer is yes. If you are looking for good value for money, Buds 3 Pro for 650-700 PLN are still great wireless earbuds from Samsung.

In Europe, the price of Galaxy Buds 4 Pro is 249 euros, which is identical to the launch price of Buds 3 Pro. In the USA, both models were priced at 249.99 USD, but Buds 3 Pro can now be purchased for about 170-190 USD.

🆚 Who should choose which Samsung earbuds?

Choose Galaxy Buds 4 Pro if:

You care about the best ANC in the Samsung ecosystem
You make a lot of phone calls
You have a Galaxy S26 (Super Clear Call)
You want head gestures and dual assistant (Gemini + Bixby)
You bought a Samsung phone in 2026 and want a complete set

❓ FAQ

Do Galaxy Buds 4 Pro work with iPhone?

Do Galaxy Buds 3 Pro support LDAC?

No. Neither the Buds 3 Pro nor the Buds 4 Pro support the LDAC codec. Both models use Samsung Seamless Codec (SSC UHQ) offering quality up to 24 bit/96 kHz, but only with Samsung smartphones.

Do Buds 4 Pro have better sound than Buds 3 Pro?

Yes, but the difference is not drastic. The Buds 4 Pro have better-controlled bass and clearer mid-tones thanks to a larger 11 mm driver. In blind tests, audiophiles will mainly notice the difference.

Is it worth buying Buds 3 Pro in 2026?

Yes. For 650-700 PLN, they are one of the best wireless headphones from Samsung with ANC, planar sound, and IP57. The price drop after the release of Buds 4 Pro makes them a great deal.

How much do Galaxy Buds 4 Pro cost in Poland?

The launch price of the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro in Poland is 1099 PLN. They are available in three colors: Black, White, and Pink Gold.

Do Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have noise cancellation?

Yes. The Buds 4 Pro feature Adaptive ANC 2.0, which is next-generation active noise cancellation that monitors the environment in real-time and adjusts the attenuation to specific frequencies.

What is the difference between Galaxy Buds 4 Pro and regular Galaxy Buds 4?

Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have a dual-driver system (dynamic + planar), Adaptive ANC 2.0, Bluetooth 6.1, and VPU. Regular Galaxy Buds 4 have a single driver, basic ANC, and Bluetooth 5.4. The price difference is about 400 PLN.

Summary

Galaxy Buds 4 Pro are an evolution, not a revolution, compared to Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. The most important upgrades are Adaptive ANC 2.0 (realistically better noise cancellation), Bluetooth 6.1, head gestures, dual AI assistant, and better battery in tests (6 h vs 4.5 h with ANC).

Is it worth the extra cost? At the full launch price (1099 vs 1029 PLN), the answer is: yes. At the current price of Buds 3 Pro (about 650-700 PLN), the decision is more difficult, because for almost half the price you get 80-90% of the experience.

Our verdict: Galaxy Buds 4 Pro are the best earbuds Samsung has ever made. But if your budget is limited, Galaxy Buds 3 Pro for 650-700 PLN is one of the best deals on the wireless earbuds market in 2026.

In practice, all good tempered glasses for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra have such a coating.

Compatibility with cases

Good glass should be marked as case friendly, meaning it is minimally narrower than the entire screen surface. This way, the case does not lift the glass at the edges.

Which tempered glass to choose for the Galaxy S26 Ultra?

Yes. Most models are designed to be case-friendly, meaning they are slightly smaller than the entire screen surface. This way, the case does not lift the glass at the edges.

How often should tempered glass be replaced?

Tempered glass is usually replaced when it cracks or gets heavily scratched. That’s why many products are sold in 2-pack sets, allowing one piece of glass to be kept as a spare.

iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra – which flagship to choose in 2026?

If you care about the Apple ecosystem, stability, and great video — the better choice will be the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

On the other hand, if you prioritize maximum specifications, a 200 MP camera, S Pen, and greater control over the system — the Galaxy S26 Ultra offers more technology.

6,299 PLN for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. 6,499 PLN for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. The difference? 200 PLN and two completely different ecosystems. On paper, both phones have 6.9-inch screens, flagship processors, and cameras that make DSLRs from a few years ago look pale in comparison. But the devil is in the details.

If you’re wondering which one will be your companion for the next 3-4 years, this article will help you make an informed decision.

📊 Specifications – iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Galaxy S26 Ultra

Before we get into the details, here’s a comparison of the key parameters side by side:

Parameter	iPhone 17 Pro Max	Galaxy S26 Ultra
Display	6.9″ OLED, 2868×1320, 460 ppi	6.9″ Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 3120×1440, 498 ppi

At first glance, it’s clear: these are two different approaches to a flagship. Samsung focuses on camera resolution and faster charging, while Apple emphasizes the video ecosystem and memory capacity. Let’s get into the details.

⚡ Performance and Processor

A19 Pro vs Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

The iPhone 17 Pro Max is powered by Apple A19 Pro — a chip manufactured using a 2 nm process with a 6-core CPU and a 6-core GPU featuring hardware ray tracing. Samsung counters with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 from Qualcomm, which Samsung uses in all regions (no more Exynos in Europe).

Benchmarks vs Reality

In Geekbench 6 tests, Samsung surprised: the Galaxy S26 Ultra scored 11,738 points in multi-core — about 20% more than the iPhone 17 Pro Max (~9,700 pts). Single-core? Samsung also leads with a score of 3,852 points.

Does this mean that Samsung is faster in everyday use? Not necessarily. iOS traditionally optimizes resources better, so an iPhone with less RAM (12 GB vs 16 GB in the top version of Samsung) can perform just as smoothly. The differences in benchmarks mainly translate to:

Video and 3D graphics rendering — here Samsung has a measurable advantage
Multitasking with multiple heavy applications — 16 GB of RAM gives Samsung a buffer
Everyday applications (social media, browser, maps) — both phones operate at the same speed

💡 Tip: If you are not rendering video on your phone and not playing the latest 3D games, you simply won’t notice any performance differences between these two flagships.

Display – iPhone 17 Pro Max vs Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

Resolution, brightness, and screen features

The iPhone 17 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra offer large, 6.9-inch OLED displays with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. However, this is where the similarities between the screens of both flagships essentially end.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has a higher screen resolution — 3120 × 1440 px (498 ppi), while iPhone 17 Pro Max offers 2868 × 1320 px (460 ppi). In practice, you will notice the difference in sharpness mainly when viewing text or images very closely. In everyday use, both displays are simply phenomenally sharp.

Where does the iPhone 17 Pro Max catch up? Screen brightness. Apple claims even up to 3000 nits at peak (e.g., in full sunlight) — this is one of the highest values on the smartphone market. Galaxy S26 Ultra reaches about 2600 nits, so in very bright conditions, the iPhone may be slightly more readable.

However, Samsung has something that we won’t find in the iPhone — the Privacy Display feature. This technology limits the screen viewing angle, so people sitting next to you on the bus or train won’t see your messages or banking app. In terms of privacy, this is a very practical solution.

Feature	iPhone 17 Pro Max	Galaxy S26 Ultra
Resolution	2868×1320 (460 ppi)	3120×1440 (498 ppi)
Peak Brightness	3,000 nits	~2,600 nits
Privacy Display	❌	✅
Glass	Ceramic Shield 2	Gorilla Armor
Always-On Display	✅	✅

💡With such large and bright screens, it’s worth considering their protection — tempered glass for iPhone 17 Pro Max and tempered glass for Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra can be found at homescreen.pl

📸 Camera and Photography

This is where the most interesting part of the comparison begins. Both phones have camera systems that compete with compact cameras, but they approach photography from different angles.

Main Camera: 48 MP vs 200 MP

Samsung boasts a 200 MP with an aperture of f/1.4 — the brightest aperture in Galaxy history. It lets in 47% more light than the S25 Ultra (f/1.7). The iPhone responds with a “modest” 48 MP, but with optical sensor-shift stabilization.

Is 200 MP better than 48 MP? By default, both phones take pictures at ~12 MP (through pixel binning). Samsung wins in situations where you want to pull out detail — the full 200 MP provides huge files for cropping. The iPhone focuses on color consistency across all three lenses.

Zoom: periscope system

Zoom	iPhone 17 Pro Max	Galaxy S26 Ultra
Ultrawide	48 MP, 0.5x	50 MP, 0.6x
Main	48 MP, 1x-2x	200 MP, 1x
Telephoto #1	—	10 MP, 3x
Telephoto #2	48 MP, 4x (8x optical)	50 MP, 5x
Max digital zoom	40x	100x (Space Zoom AI)

Samsung offers two telephoto lenses (3x and 5x), providing greater flexibility. The iPhone has one 4x telephoto lens, but with the ability to crop to 8x without loss of quality (thanks to the 48 MP sensor). In practice, both systems deliver excellent results up to ~10x zoom. Above that, Samsung leads with its 100x Space Zoom supported by AI.

Selfies and Portrait Mode

The iPhone wins in selfies — 18 MP with autofocus and Center Stage vs 12 MP on Samsung. Center Stage automatically crops the shot, tracking your face during video calls. Samsung has HDR10+ in selfies, but with lower resolution.

🎬 Video and Filming

This is a category where the iPhone traditionally dominates — and the 17 Pro Max maintains this position.

iPhone 17 Pro Max records 4K Dolby Vision up to 120 fps and supports ProRes — a format used in professional post-production. Slow-motion in 4K at 120 fps is a quality that just 3 years ago required a camera costing several thousand zlotys. Additionally, Spatial Video for Apple Vision Pro.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra records 8K at 30 fps — higher resolution on paper, but 30 fps limits smoothness. In 4K, Samsung offers up to 120 fps, which levels the playing field. However, there is no equivalent to ProRes — Samsung’s files are compressed.

Feature	iPhone 17 Pro Max	Galaxy S26 Ultra
Max resolution	4K 120 fps (Dolby Vision)	8K 30 fps
ProRes / pro format	✅ ProRes 4K 120 fps	❌
Slow-motion	4K 120fps, 1080p 240fps	4K 120fps, 1080p 240fps
Spatial Video	✅	❌
Stabilization	Sensor-shift OIS	OIS

Verdict: If filming is a priority for you, the iPhone has no competition in the smartphone segment. If you mainly record short clips for social media, both phones perform excellently.

🔋 Battery and Charging

Battery capacity and charging speed

Samsung has a larger battery (5,000 mAh vs 4,823 mAh), but the iPhone compensates with better energy optimization. Apple claims 39 hours of video playback for the Pro Max — one of the best results on the market.

Where does Samsung clearly win? Wired charging.

Charging	iPhone 17 Pro Max	Galaxy S26 Ultra
Wired	40 W (50% in 20 min)	60 W (75% in 30 min)
Wireless	25 W (MagSafe/Qi2)	25 W (Qi2.2)
Reverse charging	✅ (MagSafe)	✅ (4.5 W)

Samsung charges significantly faster via wired — 60 W vs 40 W. If you forgot to charge your phone overnight, Samsung will get back to 75% in half an hour. The iPhone takes longer, although 50% in 20 minutes is still a decent result.

Wireless charging is a tie — 25 W on both sides. Both support reverse charging (charging headphones or a watch from the phone).

🤖 AI and Software

This is a category that in 2026 becomes one of the most important differentiators. Both phones offer advanced AI features, but in different styles.

Apple Intelligence

Apple Intelligence operates deeply within iOS 26. Key features:

Siri with context — understands what is on the screen, continues the conversation, executes complex commands
Writing tools — summarization, tone correction, rewriting text in any application
Genmoji — generating personalized emojis from a description
Image Playground — creating AI images in illustration style
Notification prioritization — AI sorts notifications by importance

Galaxy AI

Samsung Galaxy AI in S26 Ultra offers:

Real-time conversation translation — during phone calls, without internet
Circle to Search — circle anything on the screen to search for it
Generative Edit — filling in photo fragments with AI-generated content
Note Assist — note summaries, transcription of recordings
Privacy Display AI — intelligent dimming of the screen when someone is looking from the side

Updates — how many years of support?

Here is the key difference. Apple traditionally supports iPhones for 6-7 years of iOS updates. Samsung promises 7 years of system and security updates starting with the S24 series — matching Apple.

In practice, both phones purchased today will receive updates until 2032-2033. This means that an investment of ~6,300 PLN is spread over at least 7 years of support.

💰 Price and Value for Money

How much does the iPhone 17 Pro Max cost vs the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra?

Variant	iPhone 17 Pro Max	Galaxy S26 Ultra
256 GB	6,299 PLN	6,499 PLN
512 GB	7,299 PLN	7,499 PLN
1 TB	8,299 PLN	9,499 PLN
2 TB	10,299 PLN	❌ not available

iPhone 17 Pro Max is about 200 PLN cheaper than the Galaxy S26 Ultra in every memory variant. In practice, this means that regardless of the chosen version — 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB — the Apple smartphone remains slightly more affordable.

Additionally, Apple is the only one offering a variant with as much as 2 TB of memory, which we won’t find in the Galaxy S26 Ultra. This can be especially significant for those recording a lot of high-quality video or photographers working with ProRAW and ProRes files, which can take up a lot of space.

💡 Tip: If 256 GB turns out to be too little, and 1 TB too much, the best compromise for most users will be the 512 GB variant. In both models, it costs around 7,300–7,500 PLN and offers enough space for photos, videos, and applications for several years of use.

The Best Wireless Charger for Samsung Galaxy S26 – TOP 5 (2026)

The best wireless charger for Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra should support 25 W in the Qi2 standard, because only then will you utilize the full power of the phone.

What case for iPhone 17e? Top 5 cases for 2026

The best case for the iPhone 17e is the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Mag (95 PLN) — transparent with MagSafe and Air Cushion technology. The cheapest solid option is the Mercury Semi-Silicone (45 PLN) with microfiber inside. All 5 recommended cases support MagSafe and wireless charging.

The iPhone 17e is a budget iPhone with an aluminum frame and glass back. It supports MagSafe and Qi2 inductive charging, so a case with a built-in magnetic ring is a must-have — without it, you lose the convenience of wireless charging and magnetic accessories.

In this ranking, you will find 5 cases from 5 different brands — from the rugged Spigen to the elegant Guess. Each tested for materials, compatibility with MagSafe, and value for money. Prices range from 45 to 149 PLN — significantly cheaper than the original Apple case for 249 PLN.

Tip: The iPhone 17e is compatible with cases labeled as “iPhone 16e” and “iPhone 16e / 17e”. The dimensions and button placements are identical, so they fit the 17e without any issues. In stores, most cases are still labeled as “iPhone 16e”.

Check the full offer of cases for the iPhone 17e at homescreen.pl

The iPhone 17e has a 6.1-inch display, an aluminum frame, and glass on the front and back. The glass back looks elegant but is prone to scratches and cracks when dropped. A good case protects both sides — raised edges shield the screen, while the back panel protects the glass from contact with surfaces. A MagSafe case additionally opens access to the ecosystem of Apple’s magnetic accessories: wireless chargers, power banks, and car mounts.

Ranking: 5 best cases for the iPhone 17e

1. Spigen iPhone 17e Case — Ultra Hybrid Mag MagSafe (95 zł)

Our choice

Spigen needs no introduction — it is one of the most recognizable case brands in the world. Ultra Hybrid Mag combines a transparent polycarbonate back with a flexible TPU frame and a built-in MagSafe ring.

What sets this case apart?

Air Cushion Technology — air cushions in the corners absorb the impact energy
MagSafe — built-in magnetic ring, full compatibility with chargers and accessories
Transparent back — shows the original color of the iPhone 17e
Raised edges — 1.5 mm above the screen, 1 mm above the camera

Weight 70 g and slim profile — the case does not add unnecessary thickness. The only downside? The price of 95 zł is the highest in the comparison (excluding Guess), but for Spigen, you pay for proven quality and a guarantee of precise fit.

2. Ringke Fusion Magnetic MagSafe — armored case with certification (59 zł)

Ringke is a Korean brand that has been competing with Spigen in the transparent case segment for years. Fusion Magnetic has a MIL-STD-810G certification — it has survived 26 drops from a height of 2 meters without damage. This is the toughest test in this comparison.

MIL-STD-810G-516.6 — military drop resistance certification
MagSafe — strong magnetic ring
Transparent polycarbonate — resistant to yellowing
Precise cutouts for all ports and buttons

For 59 zł you get a rugged case for iPhone 17e , which in terms of mechanical protection surpasses Spigen (MIL-STD certification vs Air Cushion). If drop resistance is a priority, Ringke is a better choice at a lower price. The case does not block wireless charging or MagSafe.

3. Tech-Protect MagRack MagSafe — stand included (49 zł)

Tech-Protect MagRack stands out from the competition with one feature: retractable stand. You can place your iPhone vertically or horizontally — perfect for watching movies, video calls, or navigation on your desk.

2-in-1 stand — vertical and horizontal mode
MagSafe — wireless charging without removing the case
Matte black finish — does not collect fingerprints
Raised edges around the screen and camera
Compatibility confirmed — case marked as “iPhone 16e / 17e”

For 49 zł you get a case with a stand for iPhone 17e, MagSafe, and a matte finish. This is the best value for functionality in this ranking. Weight 100 g — slightly heavier than the rest due to the stand mechanism, but the difference is unnoticeable in your pocket.

4. Guess Peony Script Logo MagSafe — elegance for her (149 zł)

A case from a fashion brand, not a technology one — and that is its strength. Guess Peony Script Logo is a case that looks like a fashion accessory, not a plastic cover. Eco-leather, the gold Guess logo, and a floral pattern catch the eye.

Eco-leather — premium look and feel
Gold Guess logo — distinctive branding
MagSafe — full compatibility with chargers
Hardcase construction — rigid casing protects against scratches
Raised edges around the screen and lens

For 149 PLN, you primarily pay for the brand and design. The mechanical protection is solid (hardcase + raised edges), but without MIL-STD or Air Cushion certifications. If your case is to complement your style, not just provide protection — Guess is the only such choice in the offer.

5. Mercury Silicone MagSafe — the cheapest with class (45 zł)

Best price in the ranking

The cheapest case in the comparison, but not just any case. Mercury Semi-Silicone has a silicone surface with a velvety microfiber inside — the same material that Apple uses in its official cases for 249 zł.

Microfiber inside — protects the back glass from micro-scratches
Soft-touch silicone — pleasant to the touch, does not slip from the hand
MagSafe — wireless charging without removal
Stain resistant — silicone does not yellow over time
Raised edges around the screen and camera

For 45 PLN, you get a case that looks and feels like a product worth 100+ PLN. No durability certifications, no extra features — but as a daily case with good protection and a nice touch, Mercury is hard to beat at this price.

Material	Silicone + microfiber

How to choose a case for iPhone 17e? What to pay attention to

Three criteria that matter most when choosing a case for the iPhone 17e.

1. Compatibility with MagSafe
The iPhone 17e supports MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging — look for cases with a built-in magnetic ring. All 5 cases in this ranking have MagSafe. Without it, you will lose compatibility with wireless chargers, wallets, and car mounts. The MagSafe ring should be built into the case, not stuck on — adhesive magnets are weaker and may come off after a few months.

2. Material and type of protection
– TPU + polycarbonate (Spigen, Ringke, Tech-Protect) — the best mechanical protection, absorbs drops. Ideal for those who frequently drop their phone or work in active conditions.

– Silicone with microfiber (Mercury) — pleasant to the touch, good scratch protection. Works well for everyday use — does not slip out of hands and effectively absorbs light impacts.

– Eco-leather (Guess) — premium look, weaker mechanical protection. Best as a fashion accessory, less so for protection against drops from height.

3. Additional features
– Stand (Tech-Protect MagRack) — useful for watching movies, video calls, and navigation on the desk

– MIL-STD certification (Ringke) — guaranteed drop resistance from 2 meters

– Air Cushion (Spigen) — air cushions in the corners absorb impact energy

– Microfiber inside (Mercury) — protects the glass back from micro-scratches

What to avoid? Cheap cases without MagSafe from marketplaces (Temu, AliExpress). They often have weak magnets, turn yellow after 2-3 weeks, and do not fit precisely to the cutouts for buttons. With a case priced at 20-30 PLN, you save 15 PLN compared to Mercury, but you lose on material quality and fit.

Complete protection for the iPhone 17e is not just a case — it’s worth adding tempered glass for the iPhone 17e to secure both elements: the back and the front.
