Every year, Samsung drops a new Galaxy Ultra, and somehow, it still feels like the same familiar formula with a few refinements.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is no exception. It’s polished and powerful, sure, but not quite the kind of upgrade that makes you fall in love with it right away. That said, this year does bring one excellent addition: the Privacy Display. It’s a feature that changes how I use my phone in public, and honestly, it’s something I want on every Android I use, including my favorite phone from last year: the OPPO Find X9 Pro. Still, a single standout feature doesn’t completely shift the value equation at a $1,300 starting price.
