Why we love the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

• It’s a smartphone powerhouse across the board. In our testing, the S26 Ultra handled everyday apps, multitasking, and demanding games with ease, and its speedy Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor should help it stay capable for years.
• Its 6.9-inch OLED screen is excellent for scrolling, streaming, and everything in between. The display is sharp and colorful, with enough brightness for outdoor use. Samsung also includes its handy S Pen, which is great for jotting notes, marking up documents, or getting more precise control.
• The camera system is a real standout. The 200MP main camera captures detailed, vibrant shots, even in dim settings, while the 5x telephoto lens delivers crisp close-ups and framing flexibility. It’s our favorite Samsung phone for photography.
• Battery life is enough to last through a full day, even when our reviewer mixed in gaming and streaming. Light mobile users may get two or three days on a single charge. And when you do need more juice, the phone supports fast 60W wired charging.
• It has thoughtful premium extras. DeX support lets the phone pull double duty as a compact desktop setup when connected to a monitor, and Samsung promises software support through 2033. Just know that the rear glass can scratch easily, so we’d strongly recommend pairing it with a case.
