#Galaxy S26 Ultra specs

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra picks up right where last year’s S25 Ultra left off as the 2026 Ultra flagship, embracing an “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” philosophy, polishing the proven formula with steady, year-over-year improvements since the S22 Ultra era. The materials differ though: the S25 Ultra uses a titanium frame and Gorilla Glass Armor 2, while the S26 Ultra switches to Armor Aluminum with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and a more rounded body design. Under the hood, both devices are in flagship territory, but the S26 Ultra leans further into AI. The Galaxy S25 Ultra runs on a Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy that is more than capable for gaming, content creation, and heavy multitasking. The Galaxy S26 Ultra upgrades this to a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 "again for Galaxy", bringing better efficiency, stronger GPU performance, and a more powerful NPU that’s designed to handle on‑device AI workloads. The S26 Ultra, however, tweaks the main camera with a wider aperture (from f/1.7 to f/1.4) to let in more light, which should help with brighter, cleaner shots in low‑light scenes and indoor environments. On top of that, Samsung layers in upgraded AI‑powered zoom and a more capable Photo Assist system on the S26 Ultra, letting you apply more advanced, natural‑language edits and refinements directly from the gallery without offloading to a PC.
