    The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is one of the best Android smartphones you can buy in 2026. It doesn't completely reinvent the Ultra series, but it refines almost every part of the experience with top-tier performance, an excellent camera system, a gorgeous display, and useful Galaxy AI features. Reviewers have especially praised its camera quality, performance, and polished software experience.

    Love this series of phone, and I really feel like the 26 Ultra was the first real big upgrade to the Galaxy lineup in quite some time, with features like the privacy screen making the upgrade especially worth it!
