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.

If you like contsant irrelevant ads interrupting anything you are trying to do, if you like having everything you type in all in uppercase, if you like having constant alarms that you set up and you can't keep stopping continuing, and if you want to have help numbers that direct you to a place that only fix physical damage, not the issues with the phone itself, then this is the phone for you!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I myself am a mid range phone kinda guy. I never really know what the big deal was. After doing tons of research on hardware...I decided i definitely wanted the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. After comparing every phone out there that has that chip....I chose the Galaxy S26 Ultra 1tb for multiple reasons. First the processor. Secondly the Galaxy AI is amazing. And since I am a hard-core gamer....the S26 ultra paired with the 1TB ROM and 16GB RAM plus the extra 16gb virtual RAM you can add from the 1tb ROM, along with a screen that shows every detail on a super smooth 120hz refresh....I am certainly glad I chose to get this one and more than likely I will be sticking with this for a long time. I absolutely am impressed. Totally worth the research and can't wait until I save up for a tablet from Samsung. I have already recommended this phone to so many people it is unreal and will continue to do so until it gives me reason not to....which will probably be time to upgrade anyway. 7 years of UI and security updates.....WOW. Can't say enough.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung Galaxy s26 because it has a very good size screen, very nice camera, I love that Samsung Dex and it works when projecting to other screens not only as a computer but also when you sing streaming which additionally lets me do playback at a higher speed. I love the stylus although I'm not using it as much as I probably could

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the S26 Ultra cause I wanted a better camera and this phone does not disappoint. I can zoom in much further without it getting blurry. I also really love the S pen, I had to sign a document and having the pen was a major game changer. I also use the AI to remove words from photos that I screenshot. I love this phone! My husband also liked it so much he upgraded to an S26 Ultra too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the S26 ultra, going from S24+, this time as I use signatures a lot. This is great to have the s-pen right in phone.
The privacy display is a great feature you can turn on or off.
The AI features are great. Especially fun on photos. Remove items, change colors, edit backgrounds possibilities are endless.
AI even cleaned up an old resume for fun. This is just endless.
Battery seems pretty good as well.
There are no regrets on the purchase what so ever.
You will love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a galaxy s23 ultra from release clear until late summer 2026, and when it accidently broke i chose to upgrade. My experience with that S26 ultra has been extremely streamline, intuitive and responsive. I'll be exploring the broader sumsung device ecosystem next, but the functionality between this phone and my smart watch is seamless. I use this phone for everything like work, stream, fitness, and task managing. Over all I give this phone 5 out of 5 stars

You cannot use the S Pen on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra to take pictures remotely. Samsung removed Bluetooth and battery-powered Air Actions from the S Pen starting with recent generations, meaning the stylus no longer functions as a wireless camera shutter remote. -Joe
