Samsung's latest flagship, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, is now available for pre-order, starting at $1,300. A key innovation is the "Privacy Display," a new technology designed to limit screen visibility when the user isn't looking directly at it. This addresses growing concerns about digital privacy.
The phone boasts a refreshed internal architecture, featuring Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chip and options for 12GB or 16GB of RAM. It comes with storage options of 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB, all supported by a 5,000mAh battery with fast charging capabilities.
Camera enhancements include improved apertures on the wide and periscope lenses for better light capture, though megapixel counts remain similar to the previous generation. Software innovations are also prominent, with Samsung adopting Perplexity as a system-level AI assistant alongside Gemini's enhanced background task capabilities.
