Should you buy it?
Buy the Galaxy S26 Ultra (256GB) if you want the most complete Android phone: S Pen, 200MP main camera with 3x and 5x telephotos, the first built-in Privacy Display, and 60W charging (75% in about 30 minutes, Samsung claim). Skip it if you own an S25 Ultra, because the cameras and 5,000 mAh battery are largely carried over. Buy the iPhone 18 Pro Max instead if video and battery claims matter more than zoom.
Android power users who want an S Pen, 5x zoom and a screen that hides from shoulder-surfers
S25 Ultra owners, since the cameras and 5,000 mAh battery carry over, or anyone who wants a compact phone
