It’s natural to consider a top-end phone like the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra as a gaming device, thanks to its top-end internals and lovely display.

I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for two weeks now, and can confidently say it’s a top pick. Not just for gamers, but for most buyers who can afford it – with a few noteworthy caveats.
