Samsung takes particular pride in its OLED tech, which spans the globe's most advanced display-related offerings. Even so, given the volumes that Samsung produces at scale, some shortcomings are bound to emerge, as is the case with a troubling red tint issue that some Galaxy S26 Ultra units are now apparently contending with. What's more, this issue has gained added significance in the wake of Samsung's ambitions related to a rollable phone. The Galaxy S26 Ultra's red tint issue places Samsung's reputation and its rollable phone-related ambitions at stake The South Korean publication Newsway is now reporting that some users […]

With Android smartphone makers increasing prices left, right, and center, analysts have warned that budget devices will cease to exist in 2027, while flagships will be out of reach for the majority of buyers. Thankfully, if you’re looking for an alternative that’ll provide you with years of software updates and provide that “all in one” package, Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra should seriously be considered. With its latest $200 price drop on Amazon for both the 256GB and 512GB storage models, we doubt a lot of you will pass up on this opportunity. Starting from $1,099.99, those still searching for an […]

Each generation of a Samsung flagship smartphone release witnesses a specifications upgrade, and while those are impressive on paper, how well do those internal improvements translate into real-world performance? To find out, a YouTuber committed to performing a highly in-depth speed test and not just includes the company’s top-end Galaxy S26 Ultra, but the latter is compared to five previous generations of the Korean giant’s flagships. In short, we’ll be taking a look at one of the biggest comparisons of the year. Despite Samsung keeping the RAM count limited to 12GB on nearly all Galaxy S Ultra models, the Galaxy […]

Galaxy S26 Ultra may not have the biggest battery capacity or those ultra-sized sensors, or a beefy active cooling solution that includes a noisy fan, but what it does have is a combination of all the strengths of current-generation flagships fused into a single device, making it an all-round package. The best thing about this smartphone is that you can grab it for up to $222 off on Amazon, with the discount applicable on the 512GB storage version and the White finish. Fortunately, other Galaxy S26 Ultra variants have also received a price reduction. Smaller storage options and different colors […]

U.S. carriers often have a truckload of salivating deals for customers to upgrade to the latest-generation flagships at a sizable discount, just as long as they satisfy certain requirements. On this occasion, one subscriber was on his way to becoming the proud owner of a Galaxy S26 Ultra, and seeing as how Verizon had one that wasn’t just $600 off, but it was also rewarding an additional line, not to mention an upgraded plan at no additional cost, the offer was a steal. Unfortunately, these deals are only enticing if Verizon can honor them, and due to serious negligence, the […]

Samsung might be criticized for not paying sufficient attention to its flagship smartphones, but there’s no denying that for the everyday user who wants the majority of their requirements checked, the Galaxy S26 Ultra becomes an excellent candidate in that regard. It packs a large screen, top-tier specifications, and a battery that lasts the entire day despite Samsung sticking with the same 5,000mAh capacity for years now. Best of all, Amazon has discounted the smartphone by up to $249, but be warned that you have less than 24 hours to avail the offer. The largest discount has been applied to […]

The switch from Titanium alloy to aluminum on the Galaxy S26 Ultra makes the flagship on par with the iPhone 17 Pro Max when comparing the materials used, but it should be noted that this move will alter the smartphone’s durability in the latest drop test. The last time one YouTuber conducted the exact test against the same Apple flagship, the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s Titanium chassis aided the latter when it made contact from the corners. Now, it’s a different tale, but the iPhone 17 Pro Max manages to secure the win against its rival, thanks to a subtle design tweak. […]

An enterprising netizen has just discovered a grift for the ages, provided that you are the not-so-proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra smartphone. And, to unlock that lucrative windfall, all you have to do is inform Samsung Support of how unhappy you are with your new phone. Samsung is reportedly resorting to all sorts of incentives to prevent early buyers from returning their Galaxy S26 Ultra phones Samsung continues to claim that its newly launched Galaxy S26 series is heading towards a near-certain box office success, so to say, with record pre-sales in various markets.

The majority of current flagship smartphones support Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, but you’re not getting the same performance from the same device. For instance, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is miles ahead of the iPhone 17 Pro Max in download speeds, but there’s another flagship included in the list that handily beats both handsets. The speed difference is due to the Galaxy S26 Ultra supporting an additional Wi-Fi 7 channel, which is something Apple left out on its iPhone 17 Pro Max Before we get started, we’d like to remind readers that Apple’s N1 wireless networking chip found in the iPhone 17 […]

Samsung has not just made the Galaxy S26 Ultra a flagship that checks all the boxes of a premium smartphone without going overboard like its rivals, but it has also turned its focus on two areas that properly tackle user complaints; battery replacements and thermals. In the latest teardown, we take a look at how the Korean giant has implemented these changes, and how some competitors should take down valuable notes. Extensive use of graphite films and thermal paste on the chipset, storage, and DRAM allows for effective heat dissipation on the Galaxy S26 Ultra It was fairly easy to […]

Samsung sticking with the same 5,000mAh battery on the Galaxy S26 Ultra as the company’s previous flagships would have made buyers livid, as they likely had the impression that the company was taking an ultra-conservative approach while its rivals were advancing with high-capacity silicon-carbon batteries. However, little did they know that Samsung’s latest and greatest has incredible endurance, with a battery drain test showing that the device can hold out quite well against the competition. Surprisingly, the iPhone 17 Pro Max meets its match as the Galaxy S26 Ultra manages to successfully outlast its smartphone rival The popular YouTuber Mrwhosetheboss […]

Video stabilization on the Galaxy S26 Ultra received an unworldly upgrade because Samsung’s latest flagship’s Horizon Lock was demonstrated by popular YouTuber MKBHD of minimizing camera shake regardless of how the device was being moved around. Of course, some content creators aren’t satisfied with these trivial tests and want to move into overdrive mode. A different YouTuber taped a Galaxy S26 Ultra to a drill machine, which spun several revolutions per minute to see the Horizon Lock’s limitations, and we were genuinely surprised by the results. Horizon Lock does produce jittery footage, but it is nowhere close to what Galaxy S26 […]

Samsung and its retail partner Amazon have always issued some stunning offers every time the Korean giant’s flagships’ pre-orders begin, but on this occasion, the e-commerce behemoth has gone the extra mile because the Galaxy S26 series not only offers double the storage at no extra cost, but customers can also avail up to a $200 gift card and obtain a decent price cut on Samsung’s newly announced Galaxy Buds4 Pro. Speaking of the Galaxy Buds4 Pro, there are offers for the company’s wireless earbuds, so without wasting precious time, let us get into the details. The Galaxy S26 is […]

Samsung will introduce the privacy display to the Galaxy S26 Ultra for the first time, making it a useful feature under a certain number of conditions, but a godsend for those who don’t appreciate prying eyes all over their private conversations when sitting in a crowded space. Before Galaxy Unpacked kicks off, one YouTuber got hold of the flagship and decided to test out the aforementioned feature. Based on his testing, it is useful, but it all depends on where the other person is sitting and how much effort they are making to invade your personal space. The privacy display […]

The downgrades surrounding the Galaxy S26 Ultra keep getting listed before the official announcement, with the latest one a stringent warning to those who have a tendency to misplace or lose their expensive belongings on a daily basis. In a nutshell, if you decide to take a leap of faith and make Samsung’s upcoming flagship your daily driver, keep it close to you at all times because a fresh leak reveals that you won’t be able to track it if it gets powered off.

Samsung's labyrinthine corporate structure and the sprawling distribution channels that come with it have apparently become too unwieldy, so much so that secretive corporate strategies are now leaked as soon as they are formulated. However, the developments of the past few hours have been truly astounding even by Samsung's notoriously sieve-like standards, with the unreleased Galaxy S26 Ultra managing to fall into the hands of a tech YouTuber, and a plethora of units are apparently now being peddled on Bangladesh's online stores. Samsung's already leaky ship just collided with a veritable iceberg, with the Galaxy S26 Ultra rendered a dispensable […]

Samsung’s penchant for sticking to a ‘safer’ approach for its flagship smartphones is undoubtedly one of the reasons why the company has fallen out of favor with consumers, losing its top spot to Apple. Even now, the Korean giant has limited the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s battery capacity to 5,000mAh, a figure that has been retained since the Galaxy S20 Ultra launch that happened six years ago. Naturally, we don’t expect the device to flaunt impressive runtimes, but one tipster says that we’re in for a pleasant surprise. Then again, the latest battery life comparison doesn’t put us at ease.
