Specs

The world’s first privacy display built into a phone.

For the first time ever, you can now limit what others can see on your phone whenever you want by enabling the built-in Privacy Display on Galaxy S26 Ultra. Clear when you look at it straight on but more private when others look in, Privacy Display can even be preset to automatically turn on when receiving notifications, typing in passwords or using specific apps.⁶

Remove the mess. Restore the magic.⁴

Quickly transform your photos by simply typing or tapping using Photo Assist⁴ with Galaxy AI.³ Did someone take a bite of your dessert before you took the photo? Just type, “Make this piece of cake look perfect,” and your pic is fixed like magic. Want to add in a few plates or cups to elevate the scene? Pull objects from Samsung Gallery, and they’ll naturally blend in with the scene’s lighting and shadows. You can even apply AI-generated styles to give your photo a totally different vibe.

A creative studio on your phone. Strong performance. Smooth play.

Meet your new creative outlet. From playful illustrations to 3D cartoons, add fun to your everyday moments —whether it’s a custom wallpaper, stickers for your group chat, a special contact photo or an invitation.^5,3 Push the boundaries of what’s possible in mobile gaming thanks to our most powerful processor yet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So the Galaxy AI is awesome you can use it for a ton of different things. I don't like how cheap the stylus is now and I wish the band would have been left titanium, it's easier to ding and scuff now. Overall I love it and Samsung is the best!

Samsung S26 Ultra Is just another S Series phone

TravelinFurMiles . 12 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this phone for approx 2 months now and am still trying to figure out stuff. What I use every day multiple times a day is the camera. I am on social media so I take many pictures. I love the zoom and being able to take a picture and have Galaxy AI play with it and give me something totally different is awesome. The photo assist and the AI color enhancement and the 200mp main camera lens are great!! Everything afar is awesome...what I do not like are the mid and macro features. I find myself trying to take a flower close up and it jogs between cameras and i have to zoom out and step back and zoom in and it takes that instant shot and 95% of the time it isnt clear and send me into an aggravation and I just snap the shot and walk away mad at the camera and hope the editing will clear it up. Gotta admit the editor has worked okay. My getting a clear shot right outta the phone ratio is about 50%. My last phone, the S10+, didnt do that to me so this is a frustration. I like the phone...am I in love, not yet. I think cost was too high for its functionality. The privacy display is cool if i need it. I'd have picked an extra sd card slot first. I like the fast processing, I use my phone constantly all day and I am down to 50% by nightfall. I wish I could have afforded the 1tb since I take many photos and videos and it doesn't have the extra SD Card storage. I'll be downloading frequently. Would I buy this again? I waited since my S10+ to buy, outright, a new phone, maybe...

Privacy feature is amazing

Jraelynn347 . 15 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Totally loving the privacy screen feature, i work out in the community a lot and deal with people's sensitive information so the privacy feature makes it so i can actually get my work done without having to look around every 2 minutes to make sure nobody is looking over my shoulder trying to copy their information. The AI feature is pretty sweet as wells helps organize and prioritize.

Switched from Pixel and loving it

LovingMyGalaxy . 16 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was ready for a change having been with Pixel from day one on Fi. Everyone i knew always had the Galaxy line of phones and bragged about its camera and power. I had an opportunity to switch over and I couldn't be happier. Everything on this phone feels ultra premium. No pun intended. It's just a smooth operating phone that feels second nature to everything I want from it. The camera takes the best pictures I've ever taken. The software has no lag at all. The games are really fun and the colors on the display are the most vibrant. Lastly the AI, the best for last, the AI is so helpful and has become my new "let me google that". It has taught me many new tricks and provides answers far more educated than just a standard search online. I honestly had my reservations but everything is at ease having been using this S26 Ultra for over a month now.

Great All-Around Performer with Next-Gen Features

Oconnete21 . 17 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using my Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra as my primary daily driver, and it has easily handled every single thing I’ve thrown at it. Whether I'm using it for productivity or entertainment, it has consistently delivered a premium experience. Work & Productivity On the clock, this phone is an absolute workhorse. The massive, crisp display is perfect for reviewing detailed technical documents, managing complex projects, and keeping up with busy email threads on the fly. Multitasking is seamless, allowing me to switch between professional tools without a hint of slowdown. Gaming & Entertainment When it's time to unwind, the performance is top-tier. Mobile gaming is incredibly smooth, handling high-performance, graphics-intensive titles flawlessly with zero lag or stutter. Streaming movies and catching up on sports matches looks phenomenal thanks to the vibrant screen and excellent brightness, even when outdoors. Galaxy AI & Smart Features A standout aspect of the experience has been Galaxy AI. The smart features integrated into the daily workflow—from quick text summaries to advanced photo editing tools—actually feel practical rather than gimmicky. It genuinely saves time and streamlines how I interact with my device. Overall, it’s a powerhouse of a device that perfectly bridges the gap between a high-efficiency workplace companion and a top-of-the-line entertainment hub. Highly recommended!
