  • PositiveStrong overall performance with a very good camera and long-lasting battery
  • PositiveInnovative privacy protection function ("data protection display")
  • Negativetechnically not an outstanding leap from its predecessor, the S25 Ultra

The Galaxy S26 Ultra remains a classic Ultra upgrade: maximum features, hardly any compromises, but also few radical innovations. The biggest advances are once again in software and AI, while hardware improvements are more evolutionary. The only noteworthy feature is the privacy display, which effectively protects the smartphone display from prying eyes...

At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the Galaxy S26 were at Commun in Journal Link lights. As expected, this year's line-up also consists of three models: In addition to the 6.3-inch "small" S26, there is the S26 Plus (6.7 inches) and, as the flagship, the S26 Ultra (6.9 inches) with an integrated stylus...

  • PositiveS Pen

  • NegativeToo big for many trouser pockets

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is the first mobile with a built-in privacy screen - that should set a precedent! In all other areas, the S26 Ultra delivers similarly strong performance as its predecessor processor and charging is faster. Even if Chinese brands, such as Xiaomi recently, are more innovative when it comes to the camera: This Ultra also takes the throne in the leaderboard!

At first glance, the Galaxy S26 does not make any major technical leaps compared to its predecessor. The display and camera are very good as usual, but there are some improvements: the battery is slightly larger, the performance has increased and the Exynos 2600 processor is proving to be more than competitive...
