Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

The good thing is that if you don't want any of these AI capabilities, you can spend a few minutes disabling and getting rid of most of them. Samsung's top-tier flagship is an excellent smartphone, and the Privacy Display is a rare new feature that I now want on every handset.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra features a unique Privacy Display to keep wandering eyes off your screen. It’s a useful update to a feature-packed phone.

The new Samsung flagship has world-class mobile cameras, an incredible display, and the game-changing Privacy Display. The new Snapdragon processor outperforms Apple's A19 Pro chip, and you can run dozens of apps and use the latest AI features. If there's ever been a phone to make you ditch Apple, this is it.

If you want one of the most powerful Android phones available right now, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra absolutely belongs at the top of your shortlist, or just go and buy it, man, and thank me later;)

The Galaxy S26 Ultra shines with incredible cameras, smart AI features, and a refined design, making it an exceptional phone for creatives, even if it doesn't offer the longest battery life or perfect viewing angles.

It’s not a game-changing update, but Samsung does just enough to keep things interesting with the S26 Ultra. Highlights include the novel new Privacy Display, and much quicker charging, advanced video features, and some of the best software around.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is the best Android phone yet with a truly innovative and useful Privacy Display. You also get promising ‘agentic AI’ features like Now Nudge, a thinner and lighter design and better photos in low-light. But the camera bump is a bit much, and there’s still no silicon carbon battery.

While the S26 Ultra might not wow you with a ton of major improvements, it brings subtle upgrades across the board along with a new standout display for anyone who cares about privacy.
