Which should you buy?
The X200 edges ahead on the Mars Score (64.6 vs 71.7), but the 7.1-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 X200 if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are front camera, wired charging, wireless charging, among others.
Both ship with comparable ram, main camera, refresh rate, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the X200 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
