The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces a brand-new display technology with Privacy Display. It makes it so prying eyes can not see content on your screen when looking off-axis. You can even automate it, so Privacy Display only affects notification windows or your keypad when entering a pin. It can automatically turn on for your banking apps, and otherwise stay off.
It is the thinnest Ultra yet, at 7.6 mm, but comes with improved camera optics for better capturing of low-light scenarios. Notably, its 50 MP 5x zoom camera lens has been updated to significantly improve its performance. Video lovers will be able to capture high-res 8K video in the Advanced Professional Video codec made for professional workflows.
All models start at 256 GB of fast storage, and all US units are equipped with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, with a 19% faster CPU, a 24% stronger GPU, and a 39% improved NPU. All units also come with an updated vapor cooling chamber to increase heavy load performance.
The Galaxy S26 series forges ahead into the Agentic AI era with new features like the Now Nudge, which will utilize on-device AI to make sure you don’t forget appointments and tasks you’ve agreed on, as well as help you quickly organize the group chat dinner meet-up, and project plans.
