In this hands-on, I’m walking you through the brand new Samsung Galaxy S26 Series lineup from Samsung Unpacked 2026—so yes, you’ll see the Galaxy S26 Ultra, S26+, and the regular S26 side-by-side, plus the new Galaxy Buds 4. I focus on first impressions and what actually feels different in the hand, including the overall weight/feel across the lineup, and I call out the features Samsung is really pushing this year. On the camera side, I cover the fun stuff like AI Photo Assist, the headline 100x zoom, and the video tools I know you all care about for real-life shooting: Steady Shot, Horizon Lock, and how stable the footage looks in a quick hands-on setting. The biggest “wait—what?” moment is the new Galaxy Privacy Display, which Samsung is calling the world’s first privacy display on a mobile phone. I also give an early look at the Buds 4 as part of the ecosystem—because if you’re upgrading your phone, you’re probably considering the matching audio too. This isn’t my full deep-dive review yet, but it’s everything you need to know from a first look to decide if the S26 series is worth putting on your shortlist.
