I bought the **Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 512GB** right after its launch, and I have to say that after two years with my good old **S24 Ultra**, it's a really noticeable leap forward - not revolutionary, but in key areas a very nice upgrade that you feel every day. I still get the biggest wow effect from **photo camera**. The main 200MP sensor has been given a f/1.4 aperture (compared to f/1.7 on the S24 Ultra) and the difference is really visible. Night photos are cleaner, have less noise, better detail in the shadows, and colors look more natural without Samsung overdoing it into overly saturated tones like before. **Nightography** is on a whole different level now - when I shoot in the city or at a concert in the evening, I get images that look like I'm carrying a full-frame camera with good glass. Also, the 5× telephoto lens (50MP) now has a brighter f/2.9 aperture, which means sharper zoom shots in low light and more pleasing bokeh in portraits. The ultra-wide angle lens has remained the same, but with better AI processing and a newer processor, it has less aberrations at the edges and better color consistency with the main sensor. Overall, I think the S26 Ultra is one of the best cameras on the market right now - consistent, versatile and clearly outperforms my old S24 Ultra in low-light scenes. The **processor performance** is another area where I feel a huge difference. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (the "for Galaxy" version) is a monster. Apps open instantly, multitasking with 10+ windows in DeX mode runs absolutely smoothly, and games like Genshin Impact or PUBG at maximum details run stably at 120 fps without any jerking or overheating. With the S24 Ultra (Snapdragon 8 Gen 3), I felt heating and occasional frame drops after a long gaming session - here it's gone. Benchmarks show roughly a 35-45% increase in both CPU and GPU performance, and the NPU in particular is much faster, which is evident in AI photo editing, real-time translation or content generation. 16 GB RAM (in my case) makes the system extremely responsive even under brutal load. And **system speed**? One UI 8.5 (built on Android 16) runs like butter. Animations are even smoother than on the S24 Ultra, scrolling is velvety, and touch response is instantaneous. The optimization is at such a level that even after a week of use, I don't feel that the phone is slowing down - unlike the S24 Ultra, where after a year and a half I already notice some micro-lag here and there. The speed of opening apps, switching between them and the overall "fly" feel is noticeably better. Add to that a slightly better anti-reflective coating on the 6.9″ display (almost no glare outside) and a lighter design (214g vs. 232 g for the S24 Ultra) - the phone feels more comfortable to hold. All in all - if you have an S24 Ultra and are happy, you don't necessarily need to upgrade right away. But if you want the best camera, brutal performance and a truly lightning-fast system in 2026, the S26 Ultra 512GB is worth it. For me, definitely the best phone I've ever had.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is a really hilarious phone in my opinion. The display is beautifully bright, everything runs very smoothly and there's more than enough power for even the most demanding apps or games. The camera takes very detailed photos and overall the phone looks very premium. The only small minus I see is that there are not so many changes compared to the previous generation and the design is quite similar. Otherwise, it's a reliable and very good phone that will serve most people without problems for several years

The transition from the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is very pleasant. The phone is fast, beautifully smooth and great to use. I really appreciate the new security display that helps protect privacy from side views. I was also pleased with the faster charging, when I'm in a hurry, the phone is ready again in a moment: )

I switched from an iPhone just because of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and I was honestly surprised at how quickly I got used to it. I was most pleased with the camera and AI features that make my job easier. The new options, such as the software-controlled Privacy Display, are a nice bonus and feel really practical. I also appreciate the fast charging and high battery capacity.

I buy a new Samsung Galaxy Ultra every year. I am always satisfied with the phones. Performance, quality, workmanship. Filming and shooting perfect. The AI features are perfect, I use it regularly for photos. I also commend the new display feature. I have nothing to complain about, I am very satisfied with all the features. I'm convinced I'll be buying next year as well: -)

The privacy display is a blast, although the viewing angles aren't as narrow as when using the film. They also welcome the fact that Samsung can finally pair eSIM cards. Unfortunately, Samsung still hasn't learned how to do a complete data transfer from the old phone to the new one - apps transfer, but nothing from their settings at all. Half of the system settings. At the same time, backup is not solved - it offers me both Google and Samsung and then backup of photos is imposed by Google and Microsoft. The ordinary BFU is then lost where to back up - and possibly where to look for the backup. Does it do a restore from a Google backup or a Samsung backup - or perhaps both? Samsung also hasn't innovated photomodules, increased RAM capacity (12 GB) or increased battery capacity (5000 mAh) for years - it used to be top of the line, now it's below average. Even Apple has already overtaken them.

Lax approach to innovation - photomodules, RAM and battery are no longer much for a flagship.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is a quality flagship phone that does its job reliably - but if you're expecting a revolution, you'll be disappointed. After daily use, I have mixed impressions. Performance is flawless - Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy handles multitasking, demanding apps and AI functions with ease. In this respect, there is nothing to complain about and the phone works smoothly in all circumstances. The camera with a 200Mpx sensor does a good job, especially in daylight. However, this is not a dramatic leap from the previous generation - the differences are rather subtle and only an experienced eye can see them in practice. Privacy Display is an interesting novelty on paper, which prevents bystanders from reading the screen. In practice, however, it brings a trade-off - viewing angles are visibly worse than standard AMOLED displays and colours fade more than I would expect from a premium device when viewed from the side. The resolution when Privacy mode is active is also less sharp. Overall, it is a good phone without serious weaknesses, but also without a significant "wow effect". Those upgrading from the S24 Ultra or S25 Ultra probably won't feel much difference. But for new users or those coming from another platform, it's still one of the best options on the market.

After a few days of use, I have a very good impression of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. I've switched from the S25 Ultra, and the changes are rather subtle, but the phone is more comfortable in the hand - lighter, with rounder corners, the camera is faster, it focuses more accurately, and the images are surprisingly clear even in the dark. Macro is better than before. I think the video is great - great stabilization, clear image. I personally don't use the private display much. Battery life looks good.
very good main camera, especially in low light, and wide angle,
perfect video and stabilization
more comfortable ergonomics than previous versions
battery life
the stylus is very thin, for longer drawing (I do e.g. architectural sketches) are harder to hold
selfie camera in evening light sometimes overexposes the image and extends the time and motion blur is noticeable (more noticeable than with the S25 U)
in Concepts, thin lines are jagged when zooming out (maybe a SW thing)
