I feel like all I’ve done lately is complain about the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra — from its low PWM dimming rate to its high price tag. This might lead some to think I don’t see any redeeming factors in the device.
However, that’s not true. Not only does the S26 Ultra have some great features, but one of them has become part of my essential smartphone photography rotation: its 5x optical zoom.
