Samsung has unveiled a trio of new Galaxy S26 smartphones, with the standout feature being the Privacy Display on the S26 Ultra. This innovative feature ensures that onlookers cannot view the screen unless directly in front of it, enhancing user privacy.
The Privacy Display, a pioneering advancement in phone display technology, controls pixel dispersion to maintain clear, bright content for the user while limiting visibility for others. The S26 Ultra also boasts a slimmer design, extended battery life, and is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for swift performance and rapid charging capabilities.
Furthermore, the Ultra model introduces an improved rear quad camera for enhanced night photography and video recording with upgraded Super Steady features. Additionally, the device includes an S Pen for convenient note-taking on its 6.9-inch AMOLED screen.
Accompanying the Ultra variant are the standard S26 with a 6.3-inch display and the larger 6.7-inch Plus version, both equipped with Samsung’s Exynos chip and triple-lens rear cameras. All new Galaxy S26 models receive a significant boost in smart features through Samsung’s Galaxy AI upgrade, offering enhanced user experiences with features like Now Nudge.
These updates, though impressive, come at a higher cost this year. The UK pricing for the Samsung Galaxy S26 range is as follows:
– S26: 256GB £879, 512GB £1,049
– S26 Plus: 256GB £1,099, 512GB £1,269
– S26 Ultra: 256GB £1,279, 512GB £1,449, 1TB (16GB RAM) £1,699
The new Galaxy S26 models are set to hit stores next month, offering consumers an array of advanced features and capabilities.
