How durable is it in your opinion ? I think it’s quite durable even though it’s made of aluminium

It’s awesome . Extremely fast and snappy compared to my 17 pro really interesting. Can’t play triple a games

16 pro is still an amazing phone BUT the 17 pro is a solid step up

Before getting the 16 pro in the black titanium color I liked very much I daily drove the iPhone 15 pro . 15 pro was a nice iPhone and don’t think many people would expect the 16 pro to be much better . Haters had started saying it’s the same phone as the last one with one extra button etc. The difference in bezels between the 15 pro and the 16 pro was the dealbreaker that made me go for the 16 pro as they made the phone look so much better . I don’t expect to be blown away by the 16 pro but I actually did . Batterylife was miles better while the new size was way more comfortable than before. Camera was improved too and the 4k 120 video was a nice addition . The 4 microphone array was really nice too and the audio mix feature great . It felt like the perfect iPhone . Awesome design and overall performance in every day tasks . When I upgraded to the 17 pro I was interested about how it would be . I really liked the fact that it now was approached not as a piece of jewelry but as a tool destined to improve our every day life and wondered how could Apple make the experience even better than the one of the 16 pro , at the beginning the new design was the obvious difference that didn’t matter that much however **when living with the 17 pro I saw that the improvements were very real and that it was really a step up over a great phone . Every aspect of it was better than its predecessor in various ways . The battery charges way faster whilst it last longer the phone is smoother , gaming performance is better , the new design is more comfortable the zoom is better the dual capture feature is useful the front camera way better than before and more versatile. The screen is way more durable something that I wouldn’t expect . On the 17 pro I don’t even need a screen protector and don’t have even a tiny scratch after months without a screen protector. The screen is brighter the phone is cooler . For the base 16 pro users the storage has been doubled as well in the base version too**

Don’t get me wrong 16 pro is still great but if you use your phone as pros or depend on it the 17 pro is an improvement you will feel and experience

I have heard quite a lot that the new coating performs worse against rush sunlight . What do you think ?

I think there is a gap in Samsungs flagship line up . There is a base version a plus version that’s about the same and then there is the ultra . I would rather a pro version of the s26 and a pro max that’s the same as the pro in the specs but bigger . I would also get rid of the plus model as base users don’t care about size and either way the plus is a bad deal as it’s close to the ultra in price and would be close to price too to the smaller pro or the bigger pro max . Most people choosing the s26 also get it because they enjoy using the smaller size and form factor so a bigger version of it isn’t that useful , what do you guys think

What’s your favorite thing about it in day to day experience?

I am afraid I will damage my AirPods Pro 3 .

My AirPods Pro 3 cancel the background noise but whenever a car passes near me I hear the sound clearly . I listen at 72 decibels
