I've taken hundreds of photos with the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Here's how it compares to its biggest competitors

The author shot hundreds of photos with the Galaxy S26 Ultra and compared results to five rival phones.

The S26 Ultra's 200MP main camera delivers consistent, detailed images with accurate colors and exposure.

The ultrawide lens shows higher saturation and lower dynamic range, while portrait mode now handles motion better.

Samsung added Horizon Lock for extra video stabilization and uses an ALoP design to reduce 5x telephoto distortion.
