Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

The S25 Ultra adopts a flat titanium frame and flat display, addressing the #1 complaint about previous Ultra models. The result is a more comfortable, premium-feeling device.

• Flat titanium frame is a game-changer for grip and feel — the best Ultra design yet
• Lighter at 218g despite the large 6.9-inch display
• Rounded corners and flat edges remind many reviewers of an iPhone-like aesthetic

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

The S26 Ultra is the thinnest (7.9mm) and lightest (214g) Ultra ever, ditching the titanium frame in favor of Armor Aluminum. Rounder corners improve the hand feel significantly. Gorilla Glass Armor 2 protects the display. The design change from titanium to aluminum is divisive — some see it as a downgrade, others say it doesn't matter in real use.

• At 7.9mm thin and 214g, this is the thinnest and lightest Galaxy Ultra ever — noticeably more comfortable to hold than the S25 Ultra
• Rounder corners give the S26 Ultra a more comfortable grip — a welcome departure from the sharp-edged Ultra design language of recent years
