ETA Prime's YouTube video about the Samsung S26 Ultra raises the question of whether modern flagship phones can replace desktop computers. The S26 Ultra packs 12 GB RAM and a Snapdragon Elite SoC with cores clocked up to 4.74 GHz. Samsung DeX enables a desktop-style windowed interface when connected to a monitor via USB-C. The phone handles photo/video editing and even runs Cyberpunk 2077 near 60 fps at low settings and 720p. Key limitations include incomplete Android support from software like Adobe's full suite and the graphics compromises required for PC gaming. The author suggests that as these phones hit the used market, convergence could become appealing for non-gamers who don't need full PC capabilities.
