When the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra was launched in late February, it was the first time in years that I felt excited for a new flagship launch, thanks to rumors of innovations like the Privacy Display in the lead up to the big reveal. On seeing the new phone in person, even the Super Steady Horizontal Lock feature for shooting videos seemed like a fabulous idea.
As a recent iPhone convert from only a year ago, I honestly thought the S26 Ultra would lure me back to Android, especially since my iPhone 16 Pro Max is a generation behind.
