Related claims

  • Viewing angles are worse than previous model

    Even with the privacy display feature turned off, the S26 Ultra's viewing angles are noticeably worse than the S25 Ultra, showing a blue tint and rapid brightness drop-off when viewed from an angle.

  • Straight-on viewing experience is a step up

    When viewed straight on, the S26 Ultra offers an improved viewing experience due to its 10-bit panel for wider color and the ProScaler software enhancing image detail.

  • New design is thinner and lighter

    The S26 Ultra has a refined design that is both thinner (7.9mm) and lighter than the S25 Ultra (8.2mm), making it Samsung's thinnest Ultra model to date. This is partly due to a switch from titanium to aluminum for the frame.

Recommendation

Seek additional hands-on reviews from truly independent, non-sponsored sources to corroborate existing findings.
