Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 1TB, 16GB RAM Expert Review Summary

Expert Rating:

8.7/10

Verdict

While it does appear to be an incremental upgrade over its predecessor, the Galaxy S26 Ultra brings some meaningful innovations and useful features. The Privacy Display is the key highlight, while aspects such as new AI features, fast charging, Horizon lock, etc, help make it more compelling. Capable cameras, smooth performance, good battery life, handy ecosystem benefits, and the S Pen, all combine to make this a premium flagship that should be at the top of your shortlist.

    Pros

  • Privacy display is useful
  • Excellent cameras & performance
  • AI & ecosystem features
  • Good battery life, fast charging

    Cons

  • No magnetic Qi2 charging
  • Modest upgrades over the predecessor
Display and design: a potentially game-changing feature in a marginally tweaked chassis +

Jumping straight into what I think is the headlining feature of the Galaxy S26 Ultra — the new Privacy Display could potentially be a game-changer. It's one of those features you never knew you needed until you try it. When enabled, it limits the viewing angle of the screen such that the content becomes dark and illegible when viewed from an angle, keeping your private conversations/documents/ financial transactions, etc., safe from the eyes of shoulder surfers. It's sort of like a privacy screen guard, except that you can choose to enable it on a per-app basis.

Cameras: capable and reliable +

The S25 Ultra turned out to be a brilliant shooter, and the new phone continues on the same path. Packing a 200MP primary snapper along with a 50MP ultrawide, a 10MP telephoto that enables 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP periscope telephoto with 5x optical zoom, it's a familiar quad-camera setup on offer here. The primary camera and the 5x telephoto cameras get bigger apertures, and that means they can let it more light, promising better low-light shots. One of the most interesting new features, however, is the horizon lock stabilisation, which shoots a stable, level video regardless of how you rotate it around its axis. I tried it out a few times, and it works well. I think it could prove to be useful in some situations … not to mention it's fun to play with.

Software and AI: all about being in the ecosystem +

AI is such a tiny acronym, but its impact is being felt in a big, big way. From a smartphone perspective, Samsung's Galaxy AI and its suite of features have evolved with each successive generation, and the brand's last two S series flagships have been marketed as "AI phones". The S26 Ultra takes that to the next level, improving upon the existing AI features and adding new ones. Samsung's homegrown smart assistant Bixby is much smarter than before, for instance, and understands conversational prompts better. Now Brief, the feature that offers useful information based on time of day, location, etc., has also been given a boost to earn its place on the new phone, and a new feature called Now Nudge has been added. Now Nudge keeps a track of messages, etc., on your screen and suggests actions accordingly. For instance, if you're texting your friend for a meeting, it can offer to add that to your calendar, or if they ask you to share photos from your recent Goa trip, it can pull up images from your phone gallery. Nifty!

Performance and battery: smooth, consistent +

Packing in the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy (an overclocked version of Qualcomm's top-end chip), 12 gigs of RAM, and up to a terabyte of storage (256GB on my review unit), the S26 Ultra is a performance powerhouse, and that reflects in most synthetic benchmarks as well. It ends up topping the charts for many of them. While the next chart-topper might be just around the corner, given how fast-paced this industry is, the Galaxy S26 Ultra's real-life performance is a true delight, and that's what matters. It handles everything, including intensive gaming, with aplomb. That said, serious gaming might not be its forte, despite the larger vapour chamber.
