I am looking to upgrade to a larger, brighter, more detailed screen.
[I have dry AMD (not the chip) so my eyesight will become progressively
worse over the next few years.]
My current phone is a realme 6 Pro.
My partner's phone is a Pixel 7.
I also have a Samsung Tab A8.

Previously owned Samsung Galaxy phones (many years), the realme and the Samsung Tab all have very similar UIs.
The Pixel 7 is significantly different; I haven't fully learned it yet.

The screen on the Pixel 7 is significantly more readable in bright
sunlight.

The reame has one big issue - VoLTE doesn't work with most carriers.
This is probably Android 13 and a non mainstream handset, but this has
pushed me towards replacing the phone with something mainstream.

Main contenders at the moment are
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra
Google Pixel 10 Pro XL
[Previous versions acceptable.]

I am tempted also by pen support on the Galaxy as I can see that in the
future I may have more issues using eyesight and fingers combined.

So the big question is how similar is the UI now between Google and
Samsung?
A familiar UI is important as eyesight fades and I become older.

Any information most welcome.

With Android16 (including material3 expressive) they converged quite a
lot ...
