Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (256GB, Cobalt Violet)

Meet Galaxy S26 Ultra, an AI phone featuring a customised processor that transforms your experience, our brightest camera system and Galaxy's first built-in Privacy Display on mobile - all in the palm of your hand to enhance your everyday life.

Meet the latest and most powerful processor ever on Galaxy. It's engineered to unlock the full potential of Galaxy AI for heavy multitaskers, powering a customised image enhancer that sharpens and smooths visuals across apps and content in real time. Plus, a boost to the advanced NPU and greater graphics processing handles the most demanding titles for mobile gamers.

Meet your built-in privacy screen, only on Galaxy S26 Ultra. Just manually switch on, and Privacy Display will use innovative technology to help protect your private information by hiding your full screen from other people's view. Or, you can choose what you want to hide such as certain apps, all incoming notifications or for when you need to enter PINs and passwords in Settings, Lock Screen or Secure Folder.

From the deepest tones to the most vibrant hues, it enables a substantial boost in graphical performance. ProScaler also enhances details thanks to AI processing improvements, resulting in clearer images.

Galaxy S26 Ultra is built for demanding sessions, whether you're running heavy-spec games or using Galaxy AI. Powered by Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, it delivers amplified gaming performance with fast, smooth and highly responsive gameplay. And with advanced thermal management from the new Vapour Chamber design, heat is dissipated faster and more efficiently than ever before. Alongside the tailored thermal interface material (TIM), the enhanced cooling system enables 21% greater thermal performance. Vulkan-optimised games also effectively render light and shadows while ray tracing creates 3D images with more realistic colours and reflections - further enhanced by the device's powerful Snapdragon processor customised for Galaxy.

Galaxy S26 Ultra supports Super Fast Charging 3.0, engineered to refuel your device at blazing speeds without impacting battery health or your time.

Galaxy S26 Ultra comes with three storage options: up to 1 TB with 16 GB of memory and 512 GB or 256 GB with 12 GB of memory, so you can choose the capacity that fits how you use your phone. Choose 1 TB if you are a power user who loves gaming, captures high-resolution videos often or downloads large apps without slowing down your phone. Or pick between 256 GB and 512 GB to keep your favourite photos and essential apps for daily use.

Galaxy S26 Ultra sets a new benchmark for Nightography with wider apertures and noise reduction that deliver clear and detailed videos in low-light environments. The Wide camera now features a brighter aperture that opens to F1.4, while the Telephoto camera opens to F2.9 for improved brightness. When shooting videos at night, our advanced AP provides noise reduction on individual noise patterns unique to each sensor type, ensuring each frame remains sharp and vibrant. So you can confidently record cinematic moments after sunset, from bustling city streets to intimate gatherings, with more details than before.

Super Steady's Horizontal Lock feature combines expanded optical angles with gyro and acceleration sensors to recognise the direction of gravity and keep your shots level, even if you rotate a full 360°. Whether you're on rocky trails or chasing your fastest finish, get smoother, shake-free videos every time.

Built around a 200 MP Wide camera sensor and enhanced by our ProVisual Engine, Galaxy S26 Ultra is engineered to capture the finest details. High-resolution image data is analysed in real time to maintain crisp textures and clarity across the whole scene for rich, true-to-life photos.

Bring far away into focus, from 1x optical perfection to staggering 100x AI-powered Space Zoom - stabilising your view and enhancing clarity instantly.

Galaxy S26 Ultra's front camera now features an AI image signal processor (ISP) for more natural selfies with highlights and shadows where they should be - true to your natural skin tone and other details such as hair and eyebrows, just as your eyes see them.
