Samsung S26 Ultra Leads 2026 Tech Awards, but Price Hikes and Privacy Features Divide Critics

TIME named the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra a top 2026 invention for its new Privacy Display feature, which dims screen visibility from side angles to prevent snooping. The phone, priced at $1,399, became the year's fastest-selling Android device despite a recent price increase. Business Insider praised its camera system and performance but criticized its scratch-prone rear glass and battery size. Meanwhile, Apple’s new foldable iPhone Duo and Akai’s portable music studio also made the list, highlighting a year focused on privacy and portability.

This sale coincides with a recent price increase for the device, which rose to $1,400 for the base model due to rising component costs. The offer requires an active Prime subscription, though a free trial is available. While the S26 Ultra offers 60W charging and S Pen support, the competing Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is also discounted to $1,700, featuring a larger foldable screen but slower 45W charging.

The 2026 Android smartphone landscape has evolved beyond the traditional Samsung-Google duopoly, with Chinese manufacturers now offering superior camera and battery performance.

The Google Pixel 11 Pro XL introduces exclusive software features like HitLight and Magic Capture. New entrants like the OnePlus 15 and RedMagic 11 Pro offer high performance at lower prices, though several top-tier models from Xiaomi, Vivo, and Oppo remain unavailable in the U.S. market.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra: The all-in-one Android powerhouse that nails privacy and camera

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra: The all-in-one Android powerhouse that nails privacy and camera

Digital Trends’ four-month review of the Galaxy S26 Ultra flags it as the most complete Android flagship, thanks to the built-in Privacy Display, strong low-light camera performance, and a standout S Pen, all powered by a cooling-efficient Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and backed by seven years of OS updates. It’s fast and polished, but the 5,000mAh battery isn’t class-leading, charging is rapid but magnetic wireless charging is missing, and a few AI features feel rough around the edges—yet for power users it remains the phone to beat.
