New Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra: The Guide

The Galaxy S26 Ultra (model S948) is the most comprehensive model in the Galaxy S26 range. It is designed for those who want a large screen, plenty of photography versatility, and a substantial battery. Here is what you need to know before buying it new, based on data published by Samsung.

Key specifications

  • Screen: 6.9 inches.
  • Camera: four rear sensors of 200, 50, 50 and 10 MP. The 200 MP main sensor allows you to crop an image without losing too much detail, but megapixels are not enough to judge photo quality.
  • Battery: 5,000 mAh (typical value), with up to 31 hours of video playback announced by Samsung.
  • Wired charging: up to 60 W with a compatible charger and cable.
  • Memory: 12 GB of RAM on the 256 GB and 512 GB versions, 16 GB on the 1 TB version.
  • Network: 5G, dual SIM.

Who is it for?

The S26 Ultra is suitable if you use your phone as your main camera, if you work a lot on it (documents, video calls, browsing), or if you keep your smartphone for several years and want plenty of headroom. If you are looking for a compact or lightweight phone, take a look at the standard Galaxy S26 in the Samsung Galaxy collection instead.
