The S26 Ultra has a set of four rear cameras for excellent photos, a refined design that’s comfortable to use, and a built-in privacy screen you can customize and toggle.$920Samsung’s 6.9-inch S26 Ultra is the only model in the lineup with the new privacy display, designed to limit what people around you can see on your screen. It also includes the S Pen and upgrades the camera hardware, adding dual telephoto lenses alongside a 200-megapixel main sensor.

You can also set it to cover just notifications, in case you want to show a friend a video without worrying they’ll see a sensitive (or embarrassing) text. While it does mute the colors slightly, more so for the notifications, it’s worth it to keep an unsuspecting stranger on the bus from having the Wordle spoiled.On top of that, it has all of the upgraded components you’d want from a smartphone that’s almost $1,000, with 256GB of internal storage, 12GB of memory, and fast charging up to 60W with a compatible charger. The S26 Ultra notably lacks a Qi2 magnet, so you may want to pick up a case that includes one, but it does have a spot to stow the included S Pen stylus.Verge ShoppingSign up to get the best deals on products we’ve found and tested sent to your inbox.Email (required)Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Brad Bourque
