Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra: flagship display, camera and performance

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is built for people who want a large, high-resolution screen, advanced cameras, powerful performance and Samsung’s Galaxy AI tools in one phone. Its 6.9-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display has an adaptive refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz, helping content look smooth while adapting refresh behaviour to what is on screen.

Built-in Privacy Display

The S26 Ultra introduces a built-in Privacy Display. When activated, it limits what people beside you can see on your screen while keeping the display clear for you. Use it when checking messages, entering a PIN or password, or viewing private information while travelling or working in public. Samsung says the feature can be adjusted for selected apps and notifications. When Privacy Display is off, the screen retains its normal viewing experience. Samsung Newsroom

Four rear cameras for wide scenes and distant subjects

The rear camera system gives you a range of views:

• 200MP wide camera with an F1.4 aperture and optical image stabilisation

• 50MP ultra-wide camera for landscapes, architecture and group shots

• 50MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom

• 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom

• 12MP front camera for selfies and video calls

The 3x and 5x zoom levels are optical. Samsung also describes 2x and 10x as optical-quality zoom, which uses sensor processing; these are not separate optical-zoom lenses. The cameras support high-resolution photo capture and advanced video recording, including up to 8K recording. 

Snapdragon performance and Galaxy AI

The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy. Combined with 12GB RAM, it is designed to handle demanding apps, multitasking, gaming, photo editing and Galaxy AI features.

Samsung highlights tools including Now Nudge, Now Brief, Circle to Search, an upgraded Bixby experience and integration with AI agents such as Gemini and Perplexity. Feature availability can depend on language, region, software version, account settings and third-party service availability.

Battery and charging

A 5,000mAh battery supports the S26 Ultra through daily communication, entertainment, work and photography. The phone supports 60W wired charging; Samsung states it can reach up to 75% charge in around 30 minutes with a compatible 60W adapter under its test conditions. It also supports Super Fast Wireless Charging and Wireless PowerShare.

The 60W power adapter is sold separately, so check the selected product package if you need a wall charger. 

Connected, durable and made for everyday use

The Galaxy S26 Ultra supports 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0 and NFC. Its IP68 rating indicates dust resistance and water resistance under Samsung’s specified laboratory conditions. The rating does not mean the phone is waterproof, and water resistance can diminish with wear.

Choose from the 12GB RAM / 256GB storage or 12GB RAM / 512GB storage configuration. FancyTech lists Cobalt Violet, White, Black and Sky Blue, with colour availability varying.

Choose the warranty that suits you

FancyTech lists two warranty routes for each storage configuration:

• Dubai-region warranty: Samsung warranty coverage is for the UAE region and is not honoured by Samsung service centres in Kenya. FancyTech currently states that this option includes a six-month in-shop warranty in Kenya.

• Two-year Samsung warranty: Samsung East Africa warranty, honoured at Samsung service centres in Kenya. FancyTech states that the option also includes one year of screen cover; see the retailer’s warranty terms for details and exclusions.

The Dubai-region option should not be described simply as “no warranty” while the current FancyTech page lists six-month in-shop cover.

Detailed specifications

Samsung’s published launch specification identifies Android 16 with One UI 8.5 and seven years of security updates. Software can be updated after purchase; verify the installed version on the specific unit. The supplied GSMArena page currently shows a different One UI version, so Samsung’s official information is the better reference for software claims.

Frequently asked questions

What storage options are available at FancyTech?

FancyTech lists 12GB RAM with either 256GB or 512GB storage. Each storage option is available with a choice of Dubai-region warranty or two-year Samsung East Africa warranty.

What is the difference between the two warranty options?

The Dubai-region option is not covered by Samsung service centres in Kenya, but FancyTech states it includes a six-month in-shop warranty. The two-year Samsung option is an East Africa warranty honoured at Samsung service centres in Kenya. FancyTech says it also includes one year of screen cover.

Does the Dubai-region variant have any warranty?

According to the current FancyTech page, it has a six-month FancyTech in-shop warranty in Kenya. It does not have Samsung warranty service through Samsung Kenya service centres.

Is the S26 Ultra’s Privacy Display a screen protector?

No. It is a display feature built into the phone. When activated, it limits side-angle visibility; it is not a separate stick-on privacy film.

How much optical zoom does the camera have?

The rear camera system includes 3x and 5x optical zoom. Samsung also describes 2x and 10x as optical-quality zoom, which uses sensor processing rather than a separate optical lens at those magnifications.

Is a 60W charger included?

Samsung says the power adapter is sold separately. Check the package details before ordering if you need a compatible charger.

Is the Galaxy S26 Ultra waterproof?

The phone is rated IP68 for dust and water resistance under Samsung’s laboratory test conditions. This does not mean it is waterproof or intended for swimming, and resistance can decrease over time.

Does it support 5G in Kenya?

The phone supports 5G, but supported bands depend on the regional model. Check the model and network-band compatibility with the customer’s mobile operator.

What colours does FancyTech list?

Cobalt Violet, White, Black and Sky Blue are shown on the FancyTech product page, with availability varying.
