Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra – Ultra enough? Since the launch of the Galaxy S series in 2010, Samsung has marketed them as flagship phones, boasting the best and latest in hardware and software while providing users with a premium user experience. Sixteen years later, Samsung has released the S26 lineup, which includes the S26, S26+ and the range topping S26 Ultra. The S26+ is technically a S26 with a bigger battery and a more impressive screen.
