slide 1 of 6, The world’s first privacy display built into a phone.

Group selfies made easy.

Group selfies shouldn’t take so much effort. With a wider front camera7, it’s easier to capture more people and more of the scene in one simple shot.

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.

Memorable nights, clearly captured.

With Galaxy S26 Ultra, your nights don’t disappear in the dark. Nightography captures concerts, city nights and dinner celebrations with vivid detail — even in low light. When you take photos or record videos, S26 Ultra automatically adjusts in real time to keep what you capture clear and bright so you never have to think about lighting or settings.

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. Play graphic-intensive games with lightning-fast responsiveness.

Smart suggestions.1 Brilliant timing.

Now Nudge with Galaxy AI3 is your behind-the-scenes assistant that just gets you. When you need to reply to a text 1, search for info or fill out an online form, Now Nudge uses your screen cues to pull up information saved on your phone2, right when you need it. That means quicker replies, fewer frantic app switches and more moments that feel like you’re running your day — and not the other way around.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI. I do believe the implementation of the privacy display is a cool piece of tech, it's one I'll barely use and it causes the display quality to take a hit. It's a bit more fuzzy, even when the privacy display is turned off. But the phone is lightning fast. The camera is fantastic. A definite upgrade from the S25U. In the future, if I had the choice, I hope the privacy display is no longer implemented. I'd take a better quality display 10 times out of 10 over a privacy display.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Big difference compared to the s23 ultra which I had before this phone. Games are really smooth and great visuals on this screen. The only problem I have is I didn't get the 1Tb version because it came with 16gb of rams. I didn't see any thing change when I was purchasing til after doing video research on this phone then I knew the 16gb ram only came on the 1tb version of this phone. Which it popped up when I was clicking on the different different storage sizes.

Check Mark Graphic
Upgraded to the S26 Ultra, the new privacy display is a great feature to have, especially to set on specific apps. Battery seems to be slightly better then the S25 Ultra because of the upgraded performance on the new chipset. New apature on the camera is nice for low light, just all around takes fantastic pictures, having RAW option is great and of course horizon lock on videos. Worth the upgrade if you're on the fence. All around nice new features from Samsung!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] On my phone I have used Geminis to translate conversations, consult things about my work, how certain things work that I do not know and suggestions that it gives me to make it easier, I have used the privacy screen function for my games and certain applications since I always ride a bus and I feel calmer knowing that they cannot see my content, the way they have adjusted the phone makes the battery last much longer since I use it a lot during the day. And I have enjoyed the new one that has in the applications and suggestions that give me to make things easier with the same phone in any application, the phone helps you to get more out of it in all its functions, the connection with the wifi and the telephone network is not lost, it stays connected in parts where before the signal was lost on the way to my work, it is much lighter since I do not get tired of so many hours that I carry it in my hand either watching movies or series in Applications

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy s26 ultra is just simply the best phone i've ever used. And i'm old enough to have used every phone from the giant motorola, bricks and purse sized phones to this s26 ultra and everything is so beautiful and smooth about this phone. The Galaxy AI is like having a living friend to help you do things inside the phone and it is just amazing. I can't say enough good things about this phone. Fast, smooth, beautiful I could go on and on but I think this review might have some limits. The S26 ultra doesn't though.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far I am amazed at with Samsung S26 ultra. From the smoothness of the display to the vibrant colors of my pictures. The galaxy AI has made it easier for my to navigate through my day. I use galaxy AI for majority of my activities on my phones: setting alarms, answering calls, andlooking up items in pictures. The new curve on the corners of the phone makes the phone easier and more comfortable in my hands. The battery lady all day with my heavy online gaming. I don't have to worry about plugging my phone into the charger. The phone does not overheat. Overall I am ecstatic about my new Samsung S26 ultra. I would highly recommend to anyone.
