Galaxy S26 Ultra Review: Privacy Display Proves Hardware Still Matters in an AI World

CNET says Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra is a polished upgrade over the S25 Ultra, not a radical redesign.

Standout additions include the Privacy Display, a thinner and lighter body, faster wired charging, and excellent battery life.

The review praises practical AI features and strong camera performance, but notes some inconsistent AI behavior.

It also points out the lack of magnetic wireless charging, though the phone remains a strong premium flagship contender.
