    I worried a lot about the screen after reading reviews, but it has been plenty bright enough and viewable at an angle. Mail ordered it so I could copy everything over before sending my old phone for trade-in.

    Great, but same as S25 Ultra, i would only upgrade if you fot S23 Ultra amd Below. YES, S24 Ultra is still good enough. The new privacy screen setting is amazing, but not worth the upgrade by itself

      Posted .

      Salutations JorgeR, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us about your Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. We appreciate your candor as we make every effort to improve the design and functionality of our product line. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty on our products for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The Galaxy S26 Ultra has significant hardware and software improvements that make it different from Galaxy S25 Ultra. The processor on Galaxy S26 Ultra is Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy while the processor on Galaxy S25 Ultra is Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy. The new ambient island camera design provides a sleeker and premium look. The Galaxy S26 Ultra features the world's first Privacy Display on mobile. Wider apertures mean the 200 MP Wide camera opens to F1.4. The 50 MP Telephoto camera, with 5x optical zoom and 10x optical quality zoom, now opens to F2.9. This allows in more light for improved brightness. mDNIe has improved image processing precision by 4 times on Galaxy S26 Ultra, which enhances the display quality. If you would like to share additional feedback with us or if you would like any further assistance, please feel free to reach out to Support. Thank you for being a faithful Samsung customer. - Debra Samsung

    The S26 Ultra's new Privacy Display is a total win because it blocks anyone sitting next to you from seeing your screen, yet it stays crystal clear when you're looking at it straight on.
