nullThe S26 Ultra has a 6.9-inch screen. Same size as the S25 Ultra, but with some notable improvements under the hood.

The basics

• 6.9 inches diagonal
• QHD+ resolution (3088 x 1440 pixels)
• 120Hz refresh rate that adapts based on what's on screen
• 3,000 nits peak brightness (up from 2,600 on the S25 Ultra)

Why the brightness bump matters

If you've ever tried using your phone at the beach or a sunny parking lot, you know the struggle. The jump to 3,000 nits makes a real difference in bright outdoor conditions. Combined with Gorilla Armor 2's anti-reflective coating, reading your screen outside should be noticeably easier.

It's actually thinner

Samsung managed to make the phone slimmer while keeping the same screen size:

• S26 Ultra: 7.9mm thick
• S25 Ultra: 8.2mm thick

It's also lighter—about 214g instead of 233g. You'll notice this if you're coming from an older model.

New display tech

Samsung's using something called M14 OLED material. The practical benefits:

1. Uses less battery while being brighter
2. Panel is physically thinner
3. Colors might be slightly more accurate

You probably won't notice these individually, but they add up to a better overall experience.

Is it too big?

6.9 inches is large. There's no getting around that. If you have smaller hands or prefer one-handed use, this phone will require some adjustment. The rounded corners on the S26 Ultra should help with grip compared to the S25 Ultra's flat sides.
