The unlocked Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra with 512GB of storage has dropped to $1,299 (originally $1,499), its lowest price so far, according to price-trackers. It is still a premium buy, but it is built for people who want one device to handle everything (for example, storing large photo libraries, recording video often, or using their phone for work tasks).
The phone runs Android 16 and uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor, so performance is not a concern. Apps open fast, games hold steady frame rates, and multitasking feels smooth even with heavier workloads, notes this PCMag review. The 6.9-inch display is sharp and gets bright enough for outdoor use, though reflections can be noticeable in direct light. It also includes the S Pen, which is useful for quick notes, photo edits, or marking up documents in a way most phones can’t match, though it does not sit completely flush, making it easier to knock loose.
The camera system is the main reason to consider it. It uses a 200MP primary sensor, backed by multiple telephoto and ultrawide lenses, which gives you flexibility for everything from close-ups to long zoom shots. Photos come out detailed and consistent, even in mixed lighting. Video is just as reliable, which makes it a good option if you shoot often and don’t want to carry a separate camera. There are also a few AI tools built in, like automatic edits and smarter search in photos, which save time without getting in the way. That said, the phone’s large camera module causes it to wobble on flat surfaces.
The new Privacy Display is the most noticeable change, and it is both useful and limiting—it makes the screen hard to read from the side, which helps in public places when handling sensitive information, but it also reduces brightness and color when active; and even with it turned off, viewing angles are reportedly weaker than other phones in this price range.
