I am thinking of upgrading from the samsung s22 ultra to one of the upcoming s26 phones. But I do have questions.  Right now I have a physical Sim card In my phone, do I have to switch to an e Sim card, or can I stick with the physical Sim card? I prefer the physical card if possible.  If I pre order from koodo,  can I just take my Sim card out of my current phin, put it in the new phone and transfer everything over and I'm good to go, koodo will automatically know new phone is active? I assume my phone number will be the same, regardless of e Sim or physical Sim card.  What are the differences between the the 3 new phone types? Thanks in advance

From Samsung's website, the S26 series in Canada have both physical and eSIM option. Hence it is ok to put your current SIM into the new phone, if you order.

And Yes, your number and service is the same regardless of physical or eSIM option. 

Regarding the data transfer, Samsung have the app to transfer data from old phone. Once you activate the phone, it will guide you through the process.
