Explore the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Range
The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra runs the Qualcomm SM8850 processor, which the standard S26 and S26+ don't get; those models use the Exynos 2600 instead.
Paired with 16GB of RAM, the S26 Ultra handles workloads that would slow down a lower-spec device: 200MP image processing, 8K video recording, and running multiple apps at once without performance dropping off over longer sessions.
The SM8850 also pairs with Bluetooth 6, giving lower latency and more reliable wireless connections than the Bluetooth 5.4 on the standard S26, a practical benefit if you use wireless audio or accessories regularly.
The Samsung Galaxy phone range buying guide covers how the Ultra's processor fits into Samsung's broader 2026 lineup.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chip handles everything from everyday apps to demanding tasks like editing 200MP photos or 8K video, staying fast and responsive under heavy multitasking.
The 6.9-inch screen has sharp, vivid detail with an anti-reflective coating that cuts glare outdoors. The built-in Privacy Display dims the view from the sides, reducing what people beside you can see on the screen in public.
The 200MP main camera captures highly detailed photos, with the ProVisual Engine automatically improving colour, lighting, and clarity. The 12MP front camera handles selfies and video calls.
The 5,000mAh battery gets most people comfortably through a full day, with ultra-fast charging cutting down on time spent waiting for it to top up.
The Armor Aluminium frame resists scratches and drops better than standard aluminium.
The S Pen stylus is built into the phone body, so it's always on hand and harder to lose.
For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S26 and Samsung Galaxy S26+ both use a triple-lens 50MP camera system without a dual telephoto configuration.
