Every year, Samsung launches a new Galaxy Ultra, and somehow, it still feels like the same familiar formula with a few improvements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is no exception. It’s certainly refined and powerful, but not the kind of upgrade that will make you instantly fall in love with it. That said, this year has brought an excellent addition: the privacy display. This is a feature that changes the way I use my phone in public, and honestly, it’s something I want on every Android I use, including my favorite phone of last year: the Oppo Find X9 Pro. Still, a single standout feature doesn’t completely change the value equation at a starting price of $1,300.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And when placed next to the pinnacle of Android phone cameras, the Oppo Find X9 Pro, suddenly, the S26 Ultra seems hard to justify at that price. Don’t get me wrong. I still like the Galaxy S26 Ultra because of what it has to offer. But when a more affordable phone from last year starts lagging in key areas, it’s hard to ignore. And I have my reasons for this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Is the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Worth Its $1,299 Price?<\/h3>\n
