The Galaxy S26 Ultra is a huge success — and that’s terrible news for all of us

I was underwhelmed by the Galaxy S26 Ultra when I first got my hands on it. I’d be a fool to argue it’s not a solid flagship phone, and I understand why Samsung does what it does. Still, the Galaxy S26 Ultra didn’t generate the same level of excitement I’ve had with other devices, and its hardware lags behind similarly priced smartphones overseas.

However, that hasn’t stopped buyers from eating up the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Sales figures remain strong, proving that Samsung knows what it’s doing.
