Busy airports and packed waiting areas are where the Privacy Display feature actually feels useful, especially when people are sitting or standing close by.
Some features like Adaptive Battery, Galaxy AI, and Samsung’s software feel more useful after spending a few weeks with the phone rather than on day one.
Samsung Notes has become surprisingly useful with features like handwritten notes, syncing, AI tools, and better organisation.
With discounts making older flagships cheaper, would you go for the newer Galaxy S26 or choose the S25 Ultra for its cameras and S Pen?
After upgrading to the Galaxy S26, I tried Samsung Pass without expecting much, but biometric logins became so easy that I’m using passwords less and less.
Using a phone with a monitor and getting a desktop-like setup still feels surprisingly practical. Anyone here still using Samsung DeX regularly in 2026?
The Galaxy S26 comes in 256GB and 512GB storage options. Curious what people picked and why. Was 256GB enough, or did you go bigger for extra peace of mind?
With the Galaxy S26 Plus, Samsung is offering 7 years of major Android OS upgrades and 7 years of security patches, which is currently the longest in the flagship smartphones. I am hoping to see this trend in other brands, too, because I feel hardware alone cannot do enough to make a phone secure and updated.
Since the phone supports Expert RAW, I wanted to know how people edit their photos. Do you edit on the phone itself or move files to a PC for software like Lightroom?
I got stuck in unexpected rain when I was travelling from Rajiv Chowk to South Delhi, and I was carrying my Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra in my hand. I panicked because of the bad weather. Once I reached home, I found no severe damage to the screen. Such a relief because of its IP68 protection.
Has anyone tried using Interpreter Mode on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra? I have recently used it with a tourist who did not understand Hindi properly. Turning it on has made my conversation much easier in fact, it did not make me feel awkward or robotic, which is usually the case with most AI interpretation features.
I have recently found the hidden Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra feature on my phone that has changed the way I used to text. The writing assistant helps me write texts, emails, social media posts, and captions, and improves my relationship with clients. It conveys my messages effectively along with the right tone. My emails sound professional and help me avoid the frustration of thinking while writing.
The AMOLED LTPO display on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is stellar. It is making my content consumption an immersive experience. I have noticed that while I am watching movies, the deeper contrast enhances my viewing. It is really fun watching videos!
I was watching a movie last night, and noticed the difference in the display instantly. The screen looked brighter and cleaner. The brightness seems easy on the eyes with reduced reflections and better colour handling. Compared to older phones, I can notice the difference in the display.
I think we all know that wireless Android Auto makes your phone incredibly hot. Features like navigation, charging, Bluetooth audio, and mobile data together heat up the phone, especially in Delhi summers. But I think that the Galaxy S26 Ultra manages to deal with it pretty well due to its large vapour chamber. I can see the difference while I am driving for hours with Android Auto enabled.
I mostly do not pay much attention to upgrades, but I recently discovered contactless payments on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. It makes my work less fussy. No need to tap my phone every time, and it does not affect my daily tasks. I can notice small changes, such as improved NFC, which makes daily tasks smoother.
I hate being like an Arjun from ZNMD. When I am travelling, I do not like to open my emails or other stuff related to work. Even if I have to do so, opening sensitive chats and emails is a risk. Well, not anymore since I have bought the S26 Ultra. Its privacy display is a saviour, keeping others from snooping on my screen.
Editing content around food is a difficult task, especially when dealing with reflective surfaces and mixed indoor lighting. Someone I know told me to use LOG video recording on my Galaxy S26 Ultra. Simply record the footage first and then colour grade it later.
The most interesting part of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is its privacy display feature. I visit cafes quite frequently and often worry about my private chats being snooped on by strangers. Upgraded to the Galaxy S26 Ultra recently and found the privacy display to be a really cool addition.
Finally, long compression video files are much easier to handle with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. I exported a large video file and observed that it brings a faster exporting experience than the previous models. The flagship chipset makes it easier to create better cinematic footage, and even the quality/pixels is not degraded at all.
