At first glance the Galaxy S26 Ultra looks remarkably similar to last year’s Galaxy S25 Ultra, however there are a few upgrades that elevate the overall appearance. Not only does the Galaxy S26 Ultra have wider and curvier corners, but it’s fitted with the same Armour Aluminium frame as the Galaxy S26, rather than the titanium found on its predecessor. Powering the Galaxy S26 Ultra is the custom Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chipset, which enables the handset to run impressively quickly for most tasks.
