Is the Galaxy S26 Ultra worth it?

Yes, if you want a fast flagship with a great camera, all-day battery and a large 120Hz display. It is a smaller upgrade if you already own the S25 Ultra.

How does it compare to the Galaxy S25 Ultra?

The S26 Ultra brings the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a Privacy Display and faster 60W charging. Reviewers call it an iterative update, so camera and design changes are modest.

Does it support 60W charging?

Yes, it supports Super Fast Charging 3.0 at up to 60W, but the 60W charger is sold separately.

What is the refresh rate of the display?

The 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display has a 120Hz max refresh rate. Some listings mention 144Hz, but Samsung specifies 120Hz.

Is the S Pen included?

Yes, the S Pen is included and stores inside the phone. Reviewers note it is responsive for note-taking and drawing.

How long does the battery last?

Samsung rates video playback at up to 31 hours, and reviewers say it lasts a full day with heavy use.
