I’d been eyeing up ultras for a very long time. To be honest, this is my first Ultra; I’ve switched from the OnePlus models. So I can say that I’m very pleasantly surprised. The system’s optimisation is first-class; if you set it up properly the first time you start it up, you’ll have a very powerful and reliable phone in your hands. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed that the phone came out of the box without any screen protector or protective glass. It’s standard practice with Samsung, but even a basic screen protector would still be a nice surprise. Generally speaking, I can’t really criticise the phone; the drawbacks I’ve mentioned above are more or less common knowledge, and anyone considering buying this device will come across these points in reviews or discussions anyway. To sum up, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is a superb, high-performance device that certainly has all the hallmarks of the brand’s flagship model. If you’re thinking of buying one and have a practical use for such a device, you certainly won’t regret it.
High-end cameras
privacy display – despite its drawbacks, it’s a huge step forward and a brilliant feature
OneUI is very user-friendly
Even with a capacity of just 5,000 mAh, the battery life under normal use is almost two days (with a charging limit of 80%)
A stylus, which is very useful, for example, when editing photos
Speaker quality
Software support (7 years)
The latest Snapdragon
Storage speed
The privacy display reduces the overall brightness of the screen, but it can be easily integrated into ‘Modes’, so you can activate this feature, for example, only when using public transport
5,000 mAh battery; the capacity has remained unchanged for several years
Samsung’s pre-installed bloatware, which you can get rid of straight away and then you’re sorted

I haven’t had the phone for very long yet, so I can’t really judge it, but it’s a top-of-the-range model and the best phone this company has produced. I’ve had this Galaxy model several times in a row now and I’m absolutely delighted with it; I wouldn’t want to change it just yet.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is a very decent phone. They are not just blank numbers on paper. The feeling in the hand is good, but it depends mainly on the appropriate packaging. The new One UI 8.5 system runs very smoothly and you don't have to wait for anything. When I compare it to the older S24 Ultra, the difference is noticeable. The S24 Ultra was a decent worker, but the current novelty is more fine-tuned, better photography is simply a class better, especially at night the resulting photo is noticeable thanks to the f/1.4 brightness. The 5000mA battery is decent, but could have been 6000-7000mA if it didn't significantly affect the dimensions. The display of the phone is also very good, but compared to the S24 ultra I could not tell the difference by eye.
Privacy Display
S Pen
Video stabilization
Fast 60W charging
Convex rear cameras (need a suitable case to keep the phone from wobbling)
Lack of English in AI functions (Call screening, translations, etc. )

I've been using the phone for a week and so far I'm happy😀 I switched from the S22 Ultra, which is a 5 year old model and the difference in performance is dramatic. For those moving from S24 Ultra and older models, the phone offers enough innovation and performance👍 For those who have S25 Ultra, the phone will not satisfy you - it offers minimum innovation👍 As for HW. The display doesn't offer 10-bit colors (only support), but it still has great luminance (easy to read in sunlight), great contrast, and the colors look much better. The Privacy Display feature was a success. Sure, it'll reduce the brightness of the display and reduce the resolution a bit due to the pixels being off. But with maximum protection, you cannot see the contents of the display from about 45° on all sides. You just need to use it properly, just PIN protection, banking, notifications and maybe for social networks. Here, you don't need to have the resolution or brightness at the highest level, and you don't need to turn this feature on for videos, photos, and everywhere else. The battery is still only 5000mAh, so Samsung should slowly upgrade this. But the SW and HW is so well optimized that the battery life is at a great level, it still lasts at least a day of use 👍The system cooling is also great, the phone almost does not heat up at all. Wired charging has moved from 45W to 60W and wireless to 25W from 15W. The absence of magnets for magnetic charging (you have to buy the covers) is a big disappointment, especially when they sell magnetic charging stations and stands. Not all of us want to have covers that cover the beauty of the phone and increase the size of the phone 👎Cameras have better apertures, so night photos and videos look beautiful. The front camera has a larger FOV. Now, thanks to GoodLock and its Camera Assistant (a Samsung app), the photo size has been increased from the basic 12Mpx to 24Mpx in the base - better and sharper photos. Unpleasant is but the island for the rear cameras, it is too protruding and the phone wobbles madly on the table, you can not use it for example for writing with S-Pen (S22 Ultra wobbled too, but the lenses were only maybe a millimeter protruding and it was almost not noticeable). Speaking of S-pen. It's smaller, thinner. The new one has a rounded header for the sake of the phone's design, and like the S25 Ultra, it doesn't have Bluetooth capabilities. I don't take this as a negative as I don't use these features. If you use them and cling to them, the phone is not for you. The AI features are again great, but you won't use 50% of them in the Czech Republic. Deleting objects from photos and adding objects to photos is again top notch with Samsung (you won't find better on other phones). Gemini and Perplexity with Bixby work as they should. But features like Call Assistant (Spam calls or call translation) are not available due to the lack of English. As well as an interpreter. Hopefully Samsung will add it soon 😎 And that's about it. This phone has its flaws, but the pros outweigh the cons, and those who are switching from older models (2 years and older) will not be disappointed 👍.
Display (Samsung quality)
Privacy Display (cool feature)
Charging speed
Cameras (quality of photos and videos is awesome)
SW and HW optimization (better performance and low power consumption)
AI editing of photos and videos (object deletion still ranks Samsung #1)
Sits well in the hand thanks to the more rounded corners
Software support for 7 years
Magnet for magnetic charging is missing (this is very disappointing)
Battery size has been the same for a couple of years (5000mAh)
Protruding rear cameras (can't have the phone turned on its back)
Missing English in AI functions (Call screening, translations, etc. )

After trying it, I definitely recommend to buy
Definitely the camera, the 5x option
optical zoom, perfect videos, I took night photos, it's incredibly beautiful
Very fast, handles even demanding tasks without hesitation
Fast 60W charging
The phone looks solid
It looks very nice
Super is the so-called. privacy display, one swipe darkens the display and makes it so that "onlookers" can't see the mobile screen
Easily transfer from your old phone to your new one
More battery life would be nice
Need to buy a 60W charger
English doesn't work in some AI apps
Despite the launch discount, it is quite expensive

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra surprised me very pleasantly and after a few days of use I can say that I am quite satisfied with it. I was deciding between the S26+ and the S26 Ultra, and for the photos I'm glad I went with the Ultra. This is where this model definitely did not disappoint me. The camera is one of the strongest points of the phone in my opinion. Compared to the S23+ and the S26+, it's definitely a leap forward. The quality of the video is also very good, the picture is smooth, sharp and the colours look natural again and, above all, perfectly stabilized. The phone is a bit bigger, but it's not that different from the previous S23+. Surprisingly, I would have expected it to be harder. I use the stylus minimally, but it is there as a small plus for me. The only complaint I have is the non-recessed lens, the phone can not be laid flat on the table, but this is an element of all new Samsung. Too bad that even this time there are no magnets included for wireless charging.

After nine years I switched from Xiaomi to another brand and I must say that I am completely satisfied. So many new features, practically everything can be customised, individually set up. As a complete newcomer to Samsung, I was incredibly surprised. Huge pluses include the camera, the wide-angle lens, or just the privacy display. What I would criticise on the contrary is the significantly protruding camera - it will probably get scratched.

Beautiful colour contrast
Horizontal lock for videos - an interesting feature
S-Pen without BT
Convex camera
Instability of the phone on the back (it wobbles due to the camera)

I am upgrading from the S24 ultra and I am very satisfied. I use a charger with PD from aliexpress (power delivery usb c) 65 watt + 100 watt usb c cable, and the phone can charge very quickly. The display is perfectly sharp once I set the QHD+ in the settings. The fingerprint reader is slightly faster than the S24 ultra, I recommend registering your thumbs 2x for more robust unlocking.
