Key differences

The most meaningful measured gaps in size and weight — not an overall winner.

What these size differences mean

Calculated from the dimensions shown, rounded to 0.1 mm and 1 g. Percentages use the smaller measurement as the reference. Fold and rotation settings affect the dimensions compared.

  • Both have the same listed width (78.1 mm) at the displayed precision. Check this difference against the width of your current device and pocket opening.
  • Galaxy S26 Ultra is 2.8 mm (1.7% relative to iPhone 14 Plus) taller. This describes the body outline; screen diagonal alone does not tell you the overall size.
  • Galaxy S26 Ultra is 0.1 mm (1.3% relative to iPhone 14 Plus) thicker. Cases and camera protrusions can change the clearance you need.
  • iPhone 14 Plus is 11 g lighter. This is the listed device-weight difference, not a measured comfort rating.

Use these figures to compare physical size. They do not establish one-handed reach, pocket fit, durability or an overall winner.
