Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra price and features

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is currently available for 1,059 euros at the online retailer Joybuy, according to a recent report. This price positions it as the top choice in the current smartphone comparison.

Privacy Display as a key innovation

The Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces a Privacy Display feature that allows users to obscure the content on their screen from others nearby. This function is praised for its practicality but is also questioned as to whether it alone can revitalize the smartphone market, which has seen incremental improvements over the years.

Device's strengths and weaknesses

The device is noted for its ergonomic design, high-quality screen, strong performance, photography capabilities, battery life, and durability. Its main strengths include the Privacy Display, good battery life, fast charging, and increased processing power. However, it has some drawbacks, such as a bulky camera module and few other new features beyond the Privacy Display.

Galaxy S26 Ultra's overall evaluation

The report suggests that without the Privacy Display, the Galaxy S26 Ultra would lack novelty. However, it is still considered an excellent smartphone overall, with the innovative screen feature justifying its existence in the competitive market.

Galaxy S25 Ultra's performance and features

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is also discussed, highlighting its technical success, increased power, and improved endurance. However, it is noted that the device lacks significant new features compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Galaxy S25 Ultra's appeal

While the Galaxy S25 Ultra is described as a solid and reliable device, it is said to lack a certain "soul" that would both convince and charm users. The report concludes that despite this, effectiveness remains the primary focus for consumers.
