Mumbai, January 25: Samsung is preparing to strengthen its leadership in the premium smartphone market with the upcoming launch of the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Set to be officially unveiled at a Galaxy Unpacked event on February 25, 2026, the new flagship focuses on meaningful hardware refinements and user-centric security. The device introduces a more ergonomic design with slightly rounded corners and a robust build utilizing armor aluminum to reduce weight without sacrificing durability.

This year’s Ultra model moves beyond incremental updates by integrating a first-of-its-kind "Adaptive Privacy Display." This hardware-level innovation allows the screen to remain crystal clear for the primary user while automatically obscuring content from side angles in public spaces. Complemented by the latest Qualcomm silicon and a larger thermal management system, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is designed to maintain peak performance during intensive tasks like gaming and 8K video recording. Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Release Date in India.
