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.

Upscale your viewing experience
The display's colour depth processing precision makes a leap by 4 times, leveraging our advanced mobile Digital Natural Image engine (mDNIe) to ensure you see colour and gradation exactly as the creator intended. 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.

Play it cool with our largest Vapor Chamber ever
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 Vapor Chamber design, heat is disspated 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.

Ultra-fast charge. Ultra-long lasting

Or pick between 256 GB and 512 GB to keep your favourite photos and essential apps for daily use.

CAMERA
