In this video, I’m doing the real-world comparison people actually care about: Galaxy S25 Ultra vs Galaxy S26 Ultra, and whether upgrading makes any sense if you already own the S25 Ultra like I do. I just went hands-on with the S26 Ultra at Samsung Unpacked, so I’m breaking down the stuff you’ll notice immediately—design and build changes, the new Privacy Display (which is honestly amazing), and even a weird camera-related bug I ran into with that display. I also dig into camera and video upgrades, because that’s where Samsung is clearly pushing. I talk about whether the camera is actually better, the horizontal video lock (massive quality-of-life win), improvements to Pro Video mode, APV video, and the night photography changes. Then we get into the practicals: S Pen differences, faster charging, same battery size, and what’s changed in software—especially new Galaxy AI features. The key takeaway: a lot of the software features are likely coming to the S25 Ultra, so the upgrade decision really comes down to whether the S26 Ultra’s hardware tweaks (like that display and video tools) are worth your money right now.
