Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is considered one of the most high-end smartphones launched at the beginning of 2026. According to Phone Arena, the changes made on the Galaxy S26 Ultra may affect the specifications and design of other high-end Android phones from other manufacturers throughout the rest of the year.
According to sources, Galaxy S26 Ultra will have 10 major improvements including: New screen with higher performance, integrated security screen, new lens and coating, larger main and telephoto aperture, wider selfie camera, faster cable and wireless charging, faster and more efficient processor, new video control for autofocus and sharpness, faster memory, thinner design.
The new screen will use the latest Oled M14 technology, which is said to save 20% to 30% more energy than the Oled M13 used on the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
The screen will also prevent outsiders from peeking through your shoulder to get sensitive information on the screen. This is done by limiting viewing angles to keep the content on your screen from being stolen.
The new features of the camera assistant will allow users to soften the over-sharpness effect that Samsung often encounters. The automatic focus conversion speed will allow users to determine the movement speed (fast or slow) of the camera lens to focus back when switching from the subject in front to the subject in the back.
In addition, users are likely to see improved coverage on the camera lens on the S26 Ultra, helping to reduce or completely eliminate flashing. These improvements will also be clearly seen with yellowing skin. You will be able to take selfies with more people on the Galaxy S26 Ultra thanks to the 22mm wider lens of the front camera.
Regarding charging speed, Galaxy S26 Ultra is said to surpass 45W by supporting 60W Super-Fast Charging 3.0 super-fast charging. This faster charging speed will fully charge the battery for Galaxy S26 Ultra from 0% to 50% in less than 15 minutes.
