Which should you buy?
The Find X8 edges ahead on the Mars Score (64.6 vs 70.9), but the 6.3-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the Galaxy S26 if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. The biggest gaps in its favor are weight, promised os updates.
Pick the Find X8 if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are wireless charging, front camera, wired charging, among others.
