Samsung’s Ultra phones have long been among the best Android flagships, and after spending the past six months with the Galaxy S26 Ultra, I can confidently say that hasn’t changed. It’s a gorgeous phone that feels incredibly premium in the hand and delivers excellent performance. There’s very little to complain about, although that doesn’t mean everything has been perfect.
For context, I’ve been using the Ultra since the Galaxy S24 Ultra, so I’ve had a front-row seat to how the lineup has evolved over the past couple of years. And honestly, it’s been quite interesting to watch. Samsung has steadily improved the cameras, performance, and overall experience with each generation.
