Design and display of Xiaomi 17 Ultra – flat screen and slimmer form

Xiaomi 17 Ultra is the first model from the Ultra series, which according to the manufacturer has a flat screen. This is a significant change, as it affects not only the appearance but also the everyday comfort — especially if you use a protective glass and want the phone to be “trouble-free” with accessories.

Flat LTPO 120 Hz screen and 3500 nits – what does it offer?

LTPO 120 Hz means smooth scrolling and animations, while also providing better energy efficiency than a constant 120 Hz.
3500 nits (peak) indicates very good readability in bright sunlight (typical for a “flagship” model).
Flat panel usually makes it easier to use gestures at the edges and reduces accidental touches.

Slim 8.29 mm design – Ultra that fits better in the hand

Xiaomi emphasizes the thickness of 8.29 mm and changes in the shape: a micro-curved aluminum frame, a “slimmed down” camera decoration, and a higher positioned camera module. The goal is simple: better balance and a more natural grip, even though it is still a large, photographic flagship.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra Cameras – Leica, 1 inch and 200 MP Telephoto

In the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, the most important aspect is that the manufacturer combines everything into a very specific photographic set: ultra-wide 14 mm + main 23 mm with a 1-inch sensor + 200 MP telephoto with a range of 75–100 mm. This is intended to provide consistent results in the three most common scenarios: landscape, portrait, street — even in low light.

1-inch main camera 23 mm + LOFIC HDR – why does it matter?

Xiaomi states that the main camera is based on the Light Fusion 1050L sensor and supports LOFIC HDR. In practice, this combination is supposed to improve:

control of highlights in high-contrast scenes (e.g., against the sun),
details in shadows,
stability of results at night (less “blurry” exposure).

Ultra-wide 14 mm – landscapes and interiors without complications

The lens 14 mm is typically the most useful focal length for:

landscapes,
architecture,
photos in tight spaces.
In the 17 Ultra, it is meant to be a fully-fledged part of the set, not a “supplement to the table”.

Tele 200 MP 75–100 mm – portraits and details with Leica APO optics

The biggest novelty is the tele 200 MP with a range of 75–100 mm. Xiaomi describes two key elements here:

variable focal length in the range of 75–100 mm (based on the movement of lens groups),
optics Leica APO and Leica APO certification, meaning an emphasis on reducing chromatic aberration (fewer purple/green fringes on contrasts).
The manufacturer also emphasizes that in this range, the phone is supposed to use a large tele module and maintain high quality without “digital cropping”.

In the entire system of Xiaomi 17 Ultra cameras, the Leica UltraPure optical design with a G+P lens group has been implemented to minimize flares and ‘arc apparitions’ in difficult lighting.

Performance and Cooling – Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 + IceLoop Xiaomi 3D

Xiaomi 17 Ultra is said to provide flagship performance thanks to the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 platform and the Adreno 840 graphics chip with a very large graphics cache. According to the manufacturer, this translates to smooth handling of complex tasks and high work culture even under heavier loads.

New Platform + Adreno 840

In the announcement, Xiaomi emphasizes:

an improved processor architecture in Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5,
Adreno 840 with a very large graphics cache,
smoothness in more demanding operations.

IceLoop Xiaomi 3D Cooling and Improved Heat Dissipation

The stable operation is to be ensured by the dual-channel IceLoop Xiaomi 3D and a new capillary structure. Xiaomi claims that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra achieves a 50% improvement in thermal conductivity compared to the previous generation.

Screen and Durability – 2K, LTPO 120 Hz, 3500 nits, and Shield Glass 3.0

The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is set to feature a display aimed at “professional experiences”: 2K, LTPO 120 Hz and peak brightness of 3500 nits. The manufacturer also emphasizes solutions aimed at improving energy efficiency and durability.

LTPO 120 Hz and 3500 nits

In the announcement, Xiaomi points out:

refresh rate of LTPO 120 Hz,
peak brightness of 3500 nits,
resolution of 2K.

Xiaomi HyperRGB – screen power efficiency

Xiaomi describes the technology HyperRGB as a solution that aims to increase screen power efficiency — so that 2K displays consume less energy than typical 1.5K screens, while maintaining image quality and battery life.

Xiaomi Shield Glass 3.0 – drop resistance

The screen is to be protected by Xiaomi Shield Glass 3.0, and the manufacturer claims that drop resistance is up to 20 times greater than that of regular tempered glass.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra battery and charging

One of the stronger points in the specification is the 6800 mAh battery, as Xiaomi emphasizes that it has managed to fit it into the thinnest Ultra model in the brand’s history (8.29 mm). In practice, this is a clear signal: Xiaomi wants to combine slim design with ultra-large battery, without giving up fast charging.

6800 mAh – what does Xiaomi promise?

In the manufacturer’s statement, it is indicated that the latest battery Xiaomi Surge is designed to provide an “excellent balance” between:

slimness of the design,
high capacity,
maintaining flagship charging parameters.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra Charging

Xiaomi 17 Ultra supports:

90W wired HyperCharge,
50W wireless HyperCharge,
90W universal PD PPS charging (important, as it refers to charging compatible with PD/PPS).

Additionally, performance is ensured by the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 with graphics from Adreno 840, and stable operation is maintained by the IceLoop Xiaomi 3D cooling system.

Connectivity and features – 51 bands, roaming in 210 countries, and UWB (car key)

Xiaomi strongly emphasizes that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is to be a “no-compromise” phone also in terms of connectivity — both for everyday use and while traveling. The announcement specifies: the device is supposed to support a total of 51 4G and 5G bands and operate in roaming in 210 countries.

51 4G/5G bands and roaming to 210 countries

According to Xiaomi, such a configuration is intended to ensure stable connectivity even during cross-border trips and across different operator networks.

UWB and digital car key

The Xiaomi 17 Ultra integrates UWB technology, allowing the phone to function as a digital car key:

automatically unlocks the car when the user approaches,
locks when the user walks away.

The manufacturer states that the feature is currently compatible with Xiaomi YU7 and some models of XPeng.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra by Leica – a tribute to the masters of image

Xiaomi describes the variant Xiaomi 17 Ultra by Leica as the first flagship created under the new collaboration model “Strategic Co-creation Model”, which aims to combine concept, design, and technology through deep co-creation.

This version emphasizes inspiration from classic Leica M cameras:

the rear panel features a two-tone design (leather texture + matte finish),
the middle frame has an engraving of “LEICA CAMERA GERMANY” and is designed to improve grip,
for the first time, there will be a Leica badge with a red dot.

A camera ring has also been introduced, redesigned for the smartphone:

it is said to have 20 ball bearings for very smooth operation,
The internal optical displacement sensor is designed to detect movement as small as 0.03 mm, allowing for precise focus adjustment,
the sealing is intended to maintain resistance to dust and water at the IP66 / IP68 / IP69 standard.

Leica Essential modes, photo authenticity protection, and satellite connectivity

The version of Xiaomi 17 Ultra by Leica is expected to offer additional solutions related to photography and content security.

Leica Essential – two styles inspired by classics

Xiaomi describes the Leica Essential mode, which aims to replicate the image characteristics of two iconic cameras:

Leica M9 – Xiaomi is said to have trained a “RAW-to-RGB” style transfer model on hundreds of thousands of images taken with actual Leica M9 cameras,
Leica M3 – style can digitally model color response, tonality, and grain of Leica film MONOPAN 50, creating black-and-white photos with a cinematic character.

CAI Photo Authenticity Protection – digital signature for photos

Xiaomi 17 Ultra from Leica is set to introduce the technology CAI Photo Authenticity Protection, which is designed to work through a digital signature for each photo using a dedicated security chip. The goal is to confirm the origin of photographs as authentic (rather than AI-generated).

Dual satellite system: Tiantong + Beidou

In this version, Xiaomi also describes a dual satellite system supporting networks Tiantong and Beidou. In areas with weak cellular signals, the device is expected to display a prompt and allow quick access to the satellite interface to send messages and make calls.

New iPhone 17e – what do we know before the premiere?

According to leaks, the iPhone 17e is likely to be released on Thursday, February 19 or March 4, 2026. There are many indications that Apple may announce this model without a large conference — rather in the form of a short press release and a quick launch of sales (or pre-sales) in the following days.

The biggest question mark concerns the front design: will Apple opt for Dynamic Island, or will it stick with the classic notch — and this element may have the strongest impact on the perception of the 17e model as a “modern” iPhone.

Dynamic Island or notch? The biggest mystery surrounding the iPhone 17e

There are many leaks about the processor, RAM, or camera regarding the iPhone 17e, but it is the front design that evokes the most emotions. The reason is simple: for many people, it is the “business card” of a modern iPhone. Therefore, today, two scenarios are most often debated: Dynamic Island (as suggested by Jon Prosser) or sticking with the classic notch (which is indicated by other reports, including Mac Otakara and earlier signals from Digital Chat Station).

What speaks for Dynamic Island? (the “Prosser” version)

Jon Prosser in his material points to the possibility of using Dynamic Island in the iPhone 17e. It’s not just a matter of appearance, but also the “feeling of novelty” — Dynamic Island is seen as an element that immediately distinguishes newer iPhones from older generations with a notch. Prosser also notes that there is no 100% certainty, but his message is clear: if Apple were still selling a budget iPhone with a notch in 2026, many people would consider it too big of a compromise.

Why could Apple do this?

Dynamic Island allows for “refreshing” the 17e without making a revolution in the entire design.
It’s easier from a marketing perspective to sell the 17e as a “new iPhone,” rather than just a cheaper version.
It’s a great selling point for those who want to enter iOS but don’t want to look like they’ve bought an older model.

What speaks for the notch? (the “Mac Otakara” version)

On the other hand, there are reports compared to Mac Otakara, according to which the iPhone 17e will take over the case and basic design of the iPhone 16e. If this version is true, the most logical consequence is that the notch remains, as Apple would not be redesigning the entire front of the device.

Why might Apple stick with the notch?

It maintains clear differences between the “e” series and the more expensive iPhone 17/Pro/Air models.
It lowers production costs and minimizes the risk of changes in the supply chain.
It allows focusing on the internals (A19, 8 GB RAM, C1X/N1 modem, MagSafe) instead of an expensive redesign.

Digital Chat Station: where did the hope for a “completely new design” come from?

Additionally, there is the thread from Digital Chat Station, which previously suggested that the iPhone 17e might get a completely new design. It was these signals that heated expectations that Apple would finally “upgrade” the e model visually closer to the more expensive iPhones — and that Dynamic Island would be a natural element of such a change.

In practice, it looks like this: Digital Chat Station fueled the scenario of “greater changes,” Prosser added a strong emphasis on Dynamic Island, and Mac Otakara proposed a more cautious version: “it will be like the 16e.”

iPhone 17e in a nutshell: what will the cheapest iPhone 2026 have to offer?

Element	What leaks suggest
Premiere	February 19 or March 4
Screen	6.1” OLED
Refresh rate	60 Hz
Screen cutout	Dynamic Island or notch (depending on the source)
Processor	Apple A19
RAM	8 GB
Base storage	128 GB
Rear camera	48 MP, single lens
Selfie camera	18 MP
Battery	approx. 4000 mAh
Connectivity	Apple C1X (modem) + N1 (wireless module)
MagSafe	is expected to be present (this is one of the most frequently repeated pieces of information)
Starting price	599 USD

The leaks form a coherent specification that looks like “Apple’s minimum for 2026”, without exaggeration, but also without compromises on key points.

What powers the iPhone 17e?

A19: a new processor designed to provide peace of mind for years

The performance is driven by the Apple A19 chip. It is this processor that usually determines whether the phone still works “like new” after 2–3 years – especially as iOS receives new features and increasingly heavy updates.

8 GB RAM: a small number, a big effect

The A19 will be accompanied by 8 GB of RAM, which in practice translates to:

smoother app switching,
less “killing” of background apps,
better photo and video processing performance,
greater power reserve for new system features.

Connectivity redefined: what will Apple C1X and module N1 bring?

Apple C1X: proprietary modem and potentially more stable connections

In the leaks, Apple C1X appears as the modem responsible for connectivity. If Apple is indeed opting for its own solution here, the goal may be better control over:

connection stability,
energy consumption,
phone behavior in poor reception areas.

N1: a detail that is not visible but can be felt

Alongside C1X, a new wireless module N1 is also mentioned. Such changes rarely make a “wow” in the specs table, but often simply mean fewer problems in practice: more stable Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and more predictable connectivity.

How much memory will the base version get?

128 GB: the minimum that makes sense today

It is most commonly assumed that the starting variant is 128 GB. For the “e” line, this would be a healthy compromise – without the feeling that one has to pay extra for a reasonable configuration right from the start.

iPhone 17e screen

6.1” OLED: a format that simply “sits”

Leaks suggest a 6.1-inch OLED panel – which is the most versatile size, comfortable for everyday use, yet large enough for videos, maps, and social media.

60 Hz: a compromise that Apple might leave intentionally

The second part of the equation is 60 Hz. For some, this will be the biggest downside, as the market has gotten used to 90/120 Hz even in cheaper smartphones. From Apple’s perspective, however, it makes sense: 120 Hz is meant to be a selling point for the higher models. The 17e is supposed to be fast thanks to the A19, but it is not meant to compete “directly” with the more expensive iPhones.

Cameras in the iPhone 17e

48 MP on the back: simple, but in Apple style

The “e” line is meant to remain simple: there will be one 48 MP camera on the back. This approach is “one lens, one philosophy” – Apple aims to deliver quality with the main camera, without pretending to be a photographic powerhouse.

18 MP selfie: supposed to be better for calls and front photos

On the front, there is talk of an 18 MP camera. If the iPhone 17e actually gets Dynamic Island, leaks also mention a change in the design of the front module (hence the references to a “different” sensor at 18 MP). In practice: the goal is simple – better selfies and FaceTime.

Battery and MagSafe

About 4000 mAh: a specific value many are waiting for

Leaks mention the battery value: about 4000 mAh. If confirmed, this could be a real step towards longer usage time in everyday use.

MagSafe is expected to be present — and it changes the way you use your phone

One of the most anticipated pieces of information is: MagSafe is set to return. This is important not only for charging. MagSafe means an entire ecosystem of accessories:

For many people, MagSafe is a “dealbreaker,” because once you enter this system, it’s hard to go back to classic solutions.

Price of iPhone 17e

$599 sounds good — but Poland has its own rules

The leaks mention a price of $599 for the base version (most often assumed to be 128 GB). A simple conversion to złoty doesn’t make sense, as Apple prices its devices based on the market, not “the exchange rate”.

Polish reference point: 16e started at 2999 zł

A good anchor is its predecessor: iPhone 16e 128 GB started in Poland at a price of 2999 zł. Therefore, the most realistic scenario for the 17e is a similar price range – Apple may maintain this tier so that the “e” model remains the cheapest gateway to iOS.

iPhone 17e colors: black, white, and… purple as a “wildcard”

Purple (wildcard): a color that could make the biggest impression

There is a graphic circulating online that lists three variants: Black, White and Purple (wildcard). If purple is confirmed, it could be the “distinguishing feature” of the 17e – a simple way for the phone to look fresh even if Apple doesn’t make a revolution in design.

The latest iPhone 17e details, expected to launch next week 🚨

Is it worth waiting for the iPhone 17e?

The iPhone 17e makes sense for those who want to:

enter iOS and the Apple ecosystem as cheaply as possible,
have a new processor (A19) and peace of mind with performance for years,
use MagSafe and magnetic accessories,
not need additional lenses.

It may disappoint if the priority is:

120 Hz,
a significant change in design,
certainty of Dynamic Island (as there is still no full consensus on this).

FAQ: frequently asked questions about the iPhone 17e

When is the iPhone 17e release?

The most frequently mentioned date is February 19 or March 4.

Will the iPhone 17e have Dynamic Island?

This remains the biggest question mark. Jon Prosser suggests Dynamic Island, but other reports indicate that Apple may stick with the notch and a design similar to the iPhone 16e.

What screen will the iPhone 17e have?

Leaks suggest a 6.1” OLED and 60 Hz. This may be a compromise that Apple intentionally leaves to differentiate the 17e from the more expensive models.

Is 60 Hz a big problem for the iPhone 17e?

It depends on what you are used to. If you have used a phone with 120 Hz, the difference in scrolling smoothness will be noticeable. If not — many users will accept 60 Hz without much pain, especially if the rest of the phone operates very quickly.

What cameras does the iPhone 17e have?

Back: one 48 MP camera. Front: 18 MP. The “e” line is supposed to be simple – one good camera instead of several additional lenses.

Will the iPhone 17e be good for photos, even though it has only one camera?

In theory, yes, if Apple focuses on a solid 48 MP sensor and strong image processing (the A19 helps here). The limitation will be less flexibility (lack of ultra-wide and telephoto), but the quality “from the main” is supposed to be simply very good.

Will the iPhone 17e support MagSafe?

Probably yes — and this is one of the most practical changes that have been mentioned in leaks. MagSafe means not only charging but also car mounts, power banks, and magnetic accessories.

Will MagSafe in the 17e be fast?

This can’t be said for sure based on the leaks alone. The safest thing to say is: MagSafe is supposed to be, but we will only know the charging power details after the premiere.

What processor will the iPhone 17e have?

The most frequently mentioned is Apple A19 and 8 GB RAM. This suggests very good performance and power reserves for years to come.

How much will the iPhone 17e cost?

The most common figure is 599 USD. In Poland, a price close to its predecessor (e.g., around 2999 zł for the base version) is realistic, but the final amount will only be known after the announcement.

Will the iPhone 17e have new colors?

A set is being mentioned: black, white, and purple (as a “wildcard”). If purple is confirmed, it could be the most distinctive version of the 17e.

Is it worth waiting for the iPhone 17e instead of buying the 16e?

It’s worth waiting if you care about the newer processor (A19), possible connectivity improvements (C1X/N1), and MagSafe. If the 17e turns out to be very similar visually, the differences may mainly be “under the hood.”

Google Pixel 10a vs Pixel 9a — is it worth choosing the new model?

Today, February 18, 2026, the pre-sale of Google Pixel 10a begins — Google announced this itself in a short video on the Made by Google channel. This is important because the A series usually debuted later in the year, and this time Google is clearly accelerating the schedule.

In practice, Pixel 10a and 9a are very similar (the same Tensor G4, similar ~6.3″ 120 Hz display, similar camera setup, and 5100 mAh battery). So if you want the best value for money, Pixel 9a usually wins on price, especially during promotions.

When is it worth paying extra for Pixel 10a? Mainly when “specific details” matter: faster charging (according to leaks 45 W), newer glass (Gorilla Glass 7i), and minor design changes (flatter back / camera module).

Vanden Borre: European retailer revealed details before the premiere

Vanden Borre is an example of a classic situation where “the store published the page too early.” Such product cards are often created based on marketing materials from the distributor, which is why they are very valuable – especially when they contain specific information about the device’s features and characteristics.

What does the Vanden Borre listing bring?

In their description, Pixela 10a features a lot of “user” details that are typical for Google communication:

battery: claims of 30+ hours of operation and a power-saving mode for about 120 hours,
durability: IP68 (water and dust),
screen: Actua 6.3” with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz,
AI and smart features: emphasis on solutions like Gemini Live, “Nano Banana”, call features (e.g., noise reduction), Highlight to search,
variants and prices: the store suggests memory configurations (e.g. 128/256 GB) and visible price levels.

Comparison of Google Pixel 10a vs Pixel 9a — table

Feature	Google Pixel 10a	Google Pixel 9a
Status	Pre-order: February 18, 2026	Available
System / support	Android 16 + 7 years	Pixel 9a has 7 years of updates/security
Processor	Google Tensor G4	Google Tensor G4
RAM / storage	8 GB, 128/256 GB (UFS 3.1 according to leaks)	8 GB, 128/256 GB
Screen	~6.3″ OLED, up to 120 Hz	6.3″ pOLED (Actua), 60–120 Hz
Front glass	Gorilla Glass 7i	Gorilla Glass 3
Cameras (rear)	48 MP (OIS) + 13 MP ultra-wide	48 MP + 13 MP ultra-wide
Selfie camera	13 MP	13 MP
Battery	5100 mAh	5100 mAh
Wired charging	up to 45 W	approx. 23 W
Resistance	IP68	IP68
Connectivity	Bluetooth 6, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, USB-C	Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, USB-C
Dimensions / weight	153.9 × 73 × 9 mm, 183 g (according to leaks)	154.7 × 73.3 × 8.9 mm, 186 g
Colors	Obsidian, Berry, Fog, Lavender (according to leaks)	Obsidian, Porcelain, Peony, Iris (Google Store)
Prices	Europe approx. €499 (128 GB) and ~€600 (256 GB)	Google Store UK: £499 Poland (market): approx. 1656 zł (128 GB)

What does this specification mean in practice and is it worth the extra cost?

On paper, the Pixel 10a looks like a very close relative of the Pixel 9a — and that’s true: the core of the phone is practically the same. Therefore, the decision of “is it worth it” comes down to a few specific differences that can be felt in everyday use.

Tensor G4 Processor + 8 GB RAM: a big leap? Probably not

The Pixel 10a is expected to be based on Tensor G4 and offer 8 GB RAM, which is a configuration very similar to the 9a. In practice, this means that:

the daily performance speed (apps, social, navigation) will be very similar,
the “feeling” of the system and smoothness should be at the same level,
any differences may arise more from Android optimization and AI features than from “power”.

Is it worth paying extra just for this? No. If the 9a meets your needs, the 10a won’t suddenly change the performance class.

6.3″ OLED 120 Hz display: the comfort is the same

Both models target a display of around 6.3″ and a refresh rate of 120 Hz, so in everyday scrolling and content viewing, the difference will be minimal.

Is it worth paying extra for the screen? Probably not — it’s a similar level and similar feelings.

Battery 5100 mAh: similar, but 10a might win on charging habits

Capacity 5100 mAh is very good in this class, and Vanden Borre provides marketing claims of 30+ hours and an extreme mode for about 120 hours.

Is this an argument “for 10a”? The capacity alone — no, because it’s similar in 9a. But…

Charging 45 W: this might be the only upgrade that you can actually feel

If 45 W charging in Pixel 10a (according to WinFuture) is confirmed, it’s a difference that changes everyday life:

short top-ups before going out make sense,
less stress when using a lot of camera, GPS, and data,
easier to “save the day” without a power bank.

Is it worth paying extra for charging?

Yes, if you often charge on the go and are annoyed by slower battery replenishment.
No, if you mainly charge at night — then you won’t feel the advantage.

Cameras 48 MP + 13 MP: “hardware-wise” almost the same

Leaks suggest a set of 48 MP (OIS) + 13 MP ultra-wide + 13 MP selfie. This indicates a continuation of Google’s strategy: algorithms do the work, not a chase for megapixels.

Is it worth paying extra for photos? If you expect a significant jump in quality compared to 9a — probably not. If you want new AI features for photos (e.g., suggestions/enhancers) — then yes, but it largely depends on what Google leaves as “exclusive” and what will also come to 9a via an update.

Gorilla Glass 7i vs Gorilla Glass 3: small change on paper, big for peace of mind

According to leaks, the Pixel 10a is set to receive Gorilla Glass 7i, while the Pixel 9a has Gorilla Glass 3. In practice, this is a difference that doesn’t make a “wow” in specifications, but can make sense in everyday life because:

newer glass usually handles micro-scratches and minor mishaps better,
it’s easier to keep the screen in “nice condition” without visible marks after a few months.

Is it worth paying extra for glass?

Yes, if you don’t like protective film/glass or often carry your phone in your pocket with keys.
No, if you immediately apply glass/film anyway — then the difference is less noticeable.

Even if the Pixel 10a has newer glass, many people still choose additional protection — so it’s worth just checking tempered glass for Google Pixel 10a, and for the 9 check glass for Google Pixel 9a.

Bluetooth 6 vs Bluetooth 5.3: an upgrade “for the future”, but not for everyone

The Pixel 10a is rumored to switch to Bluetooth 6, while the Pixel 9a will remain with Bluetooth 5.3. In everyday use, it may not always be a revolution, but it can be useful if:

you use TWS headphones a lot and care about connection stability,
you have several BT devices (watch, car, headphones) and switch often,
you plan to keep the phone “for years” and want a newer standard for future accessories.

Is it worth paying extra for Bluetooth 6?

Rather just as a bonus, not as the main reason for the change. It’s a detail you’ll appreciate mainly when you actually live in the BT accessories ecosystem and want maximum compatibility for the future.

IP68 and a more “flat” back: small things, but practical

IP68 is simply peace of mind (rain, kitchen, dust). And the flattened camera module is a detail you’ll appreciate:

the phone sits more stably on the table,
it’s easier to choose a thinner case,
it catches less in your pocket.

Is it worth paying extra for design/durability? It’s a nice bonus, but rarely justifies the change from 9a to 10a on its own.

If you want to take real care of the case on a daily basis, check the best cases for Google Pixel 10a, and if you stick with the predecessor, choose a case for Google Pixel 9a.

FAQ: Google Pixel 10a vs Pixel 9a

Is it worth buying the Google Pixel 10a instead of the Pixel 9a?
It is worth it if you care about faster charging and newer details (glass, Bluetooth). If price is a priority, the Pixel 9a will usually be more cost-effective.

Is the Pixel 10a much better than the Pixel 9a?
No — it’s more of a slight refresh. The core (processor, RAM, cameras, battery) is very similar, and the biggest differences are in charging, glass, and connectivity.

When does the pre-sale for the Google Pixel 10a start?
The pre-sale starts on February 18, 2026.

Does the Pixel 10a have IP68?
According to leaks and store listings — yes, it has IP68 (water and dust resistance).

Does the Pixel 10a have 120 Hz?
Yes — the pre-release information mentions a ~6.3″ OLED display with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz.

Does the Pixel 10a have faster charging than the Pixel 9a?
According to leaks, the Pixel 10a is expected to have up to 45 W, which would be a clear advantage over the 9a.

Are the cameras in the Pixel 10a better than in the Pixel 9a?
Hardware-wise, they look very similar (48 MP + 13 MP). If there are differences, they are likely to be in features and algorithms rather than in “raw specifications.”

Is it worth upgrading from the Pixel 9a to the Pixel 10a?
Most often, no — unless you really care about faster charging and the extra cost is small.

What could be the price of the Pixel 10a in Poland?
Based on the announced prices in euros and typical market conversions in Poland, it is most often mentioned to be around ~2399–2499 PLN at launch (this will only be confirmed by official sales).

How to choose the best case for Samsung Galaxy S26?

1) Match the level of protection to your lifestyle

If your phone often slips from your hand or you use it outdoors — choose a rugged case for Samsung Galaxy S26. For home/office, silicone or hybrid is usually sufficient.

2) Decide if you need MagSafe

If you use magnetic chargers, mounts, or wallets — choose a MagSafe case for Galaxy S26.

3) Choose a finish that won’t irritate you

Matte cases collect fewer fingerprints, transparent ones show the phone’s color, and carbon/eco-leather looks more premium and “clean” over time.

4) Pay attention to the edges around the screen and camera

A good case should have slightly raised edges — this makes a difference when placing the phone screen down.

5) Think about how you carry your phone

If you often toss it into your pocket with keys or carry it in a bag with other items, consider a sturdier hybrid or rugged case for Samsung Galaxy S26 — damage usually comes from everyday small things, not from “big drops”.

It’s also worth immediately securing the screen and camera by choosing tempered glass for Samsung Galaxy S26, which will protect the display from micro-scratches and cracking upon impact.

Honor Magic 8 Pro vs Honor Magic 8 Lite – which one to choose?

If you care about the highest performance, top-tier cameras, and technological innovations – Honor Magic8 Pro will definitely be a better choice. This flagship offers top components and features in all aspects (screen, camera, processor, fast charging, etc.).

On the other hand, Honor Magic8 Lite will be suitable if your priority is long battery life, increased durability of the casing, and a significantly lower price. Magic8 Lite provides solid daily functionality with a fantastic battery, although it falls short of the Pro version in terms of speed and photo quality.

In short: Honor Magic8 Pro for demanding enthusiasts, Magic8 Lite for practical users who care about budget.

Two new Honor Magic8 models

Honor presented two new smartphones from the Magic series at the beginning of 2026, aimed at different audiences. Honor Magic8 Pro is a premium flagship, focused on advanced mobile photography and integration with AI (including Google Assistant Gemini). Meanwhile, Honor Magic8 Lite is a “rugged” mid-range device with a reinforced construction and record battery life. Both models had their Polish premiere in January 2026 – sales started on January 15, 2026. Magic8 Pro showcases the technological capabilities of the Honor brand, while Magic8 Lite aims to attract users looking for long battery life and resistance to damage at a more affordable price.

💡After choosing a model, it’s worth taking care of the protection for the case and screen right away. If you’re aiming for a flagship, check out the best cases for Honor Magic8 Pro— preferably one that securely protects the camera and edges.

If you prefer a durable mid-range phone, check out cases for Honor Magic8 Lite, which will emphasize its “rugged” character and facilitate everyday use.

Design and durability: which is more comfortable and resistant?

On paper, both models appear to be “strong” (high IP ratings), but in hand and in everyday use, they differ significantly: Magic8 Pro is a heavier, bulkier flagship with strong screen protection, while Magic8 Lite is lighter, thinner, and has a larger display – more “practical” for daily use.

Honor Magic8 Pro – heavier flagship with NanoCrystal Shield and top IP protection

Magic8 Pro features a 6.71″ OLED (2808 × 1256 px) and HONOR NanoCrystal Shield, which is a real plus if the phone often ends up in a pocket with keys or experiences drops.

Pro dimensions and specifications (Your data):

161.15 × 75 × 8.4 mm
219 g
IP68 / IP69 / IP69K
brightness: up to 6000 nits (max), HBM 1800 nits
USB-C 3.2 Gen 1

In practice: the phone is “substantial” – 219 g is noticeable, but this is also typical for models with a large battery and an advanced camera module. If you like solid and “flagship-feeling” equipment, the Pro fulfills this role.

Honor Magic8 Lite – larger screen, lower weight, and an even wider set of IP standards

Magic8 Lite has 6.79″ AMOLED (2640 × 1200 px), glass aluminosilicate and one thing that stands out in the specifications: IP66 + IP68 + IP69 + IP69K (which means IP66 is added).

Construction and dimensions of Lite (your data):

161.9 × 76.1 × 7.76 mm
189 g
IP66 / IP68 / IP69 / IP69K
screen: 3840 Hz PWM (important for sensitive eyes)

Lite is 30 g lighter and noticeably thinner. For many people, this will simply be more comfortable in the pocket and in the hand — especially during longer scrolling, reading, or watching videos (larger screen).

Mini-conclusion: what to choose at this point?

If you prefer a larger screen, lower weight, and thinner body (plus 3840 Hz PWM) → Magic8 Lite

If you want a strongly “flagship” feel, compact 6.71″ and NanoCrystal Shield protection → Magic8 Pro

Screen: brightness, PWM, and comfort for the eyes (Pro vs Lite)

The screen is one of those things you feel all the time — while scrolling, reading, watching movies, and in the sun. In this pair, the differences are concrete: Pro has a more “flagship” specification (OLED + higher claimed brightness), while Lite focuses on a large AMOLED panel and strong eye comfort features (including 3840 Hz PWM).

Honor Magic8 Pro – OLED 6.71″ with strong brightness and NanoCrystal Shield

Pro offers a 6.71″ OLED with a resolution of 2808 × 1256 px and declared brightness parameters:

up to 6000 nits (max.)
HBM 1800 nits

This is important in two scenarios:

sun / bright environment → the phone remains readable
HDR and multimedia → the screen can achieve a very high peak effect

Additionally, there is HONOR NanoCrystal Shield, which is a real protective bonus for the panel itself.

Who is this for?
For those who use their phone a lot outside the home, watch multimedia, and want a “flagship” display without compromises.

Honor Magic8 Lite – AMOLED 6.79″ + 3840 Hz PWM, a screen friendly to the eyes

Lite has a larger screen: 6.79″ AMOLED with a resolution of 2640 × 1200 px. It is most distinguished by features related to comfort:

3840 Hz – ultra-high PWM dimming
“Eye comfort”
“Night display with circadian rhythm”
“Dynamic dimming”
glass aluminosilicate

In practice: if you belong to those who strain their eyes in the evening or are sensitive to flicker at low brightness, 3840 Hz PWM may be one of the most noticeable advantages of this model.

Who is this for?
For those who read a lot on their phone, work in the evenings, and want a larger screen for movies/scrolling.

Mini-conclusion: Pro or Lite in terms of the screen?

Choose Magic8 Pro if your priority is maximum brightness and a “flagship” OLED + NanoCrystal Shield experience.
Choose Magic8 Lite if you want a bigger screen and eye comfort (3840 Hz PWM) is the most important.

Performance and smoothness: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 vs Snapdragon 6 Gen 4

At this point, the differences between Magic8 Pro and Magic8 Lite are the most “black and white.” Pro is built for maximum power and uncompromising performance, while Lite aims for stable everyday use — but with a clearly weaker performance reserve.

Honor Magic8 Pro – Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Adreno 840 (top 2026)

Magic8 Pro runs on Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with Adreno 840 graphics, which is a top-tier set. In practice, this provides:

very high system fluidity even with many applications at once,
great performance in games and with heavier titles,
faster photo processing and AI modes (e.g., burst shots, night, “AI” features in the camera),
greater comfort “for years,” as the top chipset remains fast longer despite updates and increasing application demands.

This is a model for those who want to be sure that the phone won’t “struggle” under intensive use.

Honor Magic8 Lite – Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 (mid-range, but economical and practical)

Magic8 Lite has Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 (8 cores), which is a mid-range chipset. This means that:

in everyday use (social media, navigation, YouTube, browser) it will simply work smoothly,
but with heavier tasks (games at high settings, longer editing, more demanding applications) it will show its limitations faster,
compared to Pro, it has less “future-proof” power reserve.

This is a good solution for those who do not need flagship power, but want a stable phone for normal use — with an emphasis on battery life.

Conclusion: if maximum performance, gaming, and “peace of mind for years” are a priority → Magic8 Pro. If you want daily smoothness without overpaying and are not a demanding user → Magic8 Lite.

Cameras: 200 MP periscope and 50 MP selfie vs 108 MP and simple photography

In cameras, it is easiest to see, who each model is for. Magic8 Pro has a typically flagship set (periscope telephoto + strong main + wide) and many photo/video features with AI. Magic8 Lite focuses on simplicity: a good 108 MP main camera and a basic 5 MP ultra-wide.

Honor Magic8 Pro – triple camera 200 MP + 50 MP + 50 MP and strong AI modes

On the back, you get 3 cameras:

200 MP periscope telephoto: ƒ/2.6, 1/1.4″ sensor, OIS, 3.7× optical zoom
50 MP main: ƒ/1.6, 1/1.3″ sensor, OIS, 4-in-1 (2.4 μm)
50 MP ultra-wide: ƒ/2.0, 122°, with HD Macro mode at 2.5 cm

This means that the Pro is “complete”:

you have reasonable zoom (not just digital),
you have wide angle and close-up macro,
you have greater flexibility in difficult lighting thanks to OIS and a bright main camera.

Additionally, there are many photo/video features from your list, including AI Super Zoom, enhanced AI night mode, HDR, super burst, professional mode, multi-video, EIS/OIS.

On the front: 50 MP (ƒ/2.0) + 3D face unlock — and this is a real advantage of the Pro if you care about fast, “reliable” face unlock and better selfies.

Honor Magic8 Lite – 108 MP with OIS, but a more basic set

In the Lite, we have 2 cameras on the back:

108 MP main: ƒ/1.75, OIS
5 MP (second camera): ƒ/1.22

The main 108 MP camera with OIS is a good foundation for everyday photos (especially during the day and in typical scenarios). However, the set is less versatile than in the Pro — particularly when:

you want to zoom without significant loss of quality (no periscope),
you often take wide-angle shots in better quality,
you care about more advanced photo/video capabilities.

On the front: 16 MP (ƒ/2.45) — sufficient for video calls and social media, but it’s not in the same league as the 50 MP in the Pro.

Conclusion: if the camera is important (zoom, night, portraits, versatility, and selfies) → Magic8 Pro. If you mainly take regular photos and want “just a good main camera” → Magic8 Lite will be sufficient.

Battery and Charging: 6270 mAh + 100W/80W vs 7500 mAh + 66W

Here the situation is very interesting, because both phones have silicon-carbon batteries, but follow a completely different philosophy: Pro wins in charging speed (also wirelessly), while Lite boasts a record capacity and is focused on maximum runtime.

Honor Magic8 Pro – 6270 mAh and premium charging (100W + 80W wirelessly)

Magic8 Pro has a battery:

6270 mAh (typical) / 6090 mAh (rated)
technology: next-generation HONOR silicon-carbon

On top of that, you get:

100W HONOR SuperCharge (wired)
80W HONOR SuperCharge (wireless)

In practice, Pro is for those who:

like to charge their phone “on the go” (briefly, but very quickly),
want the convenience of cable-free charging,
often use it intensively (photo, video, GPS, games) and quick energy replenishment is more important than breaking battery life records.

Honor Magic8 Lite – 7500 mAh: a phone for those who don’t want to charge daily

Magic8 Lite has a battery:

7500 mAh
technology: silicon-carbon

Charging:

66W wired
no wireless charging

This is a model that is ideal if:

you want to plug your phone into the charger as rarely as possible,
You are often on the go, working “in the field,” or simply don’t like keeping track of percentages,
longer battery life is more important than top charging speed.

Conclusion: if you care about convenience and top charging (including wireless) → Magic8 Pro. If your priority is the longest possible usage time away from the socket → Magic8 Lite.

💡If you want to make the most of the device, it’s worth choosing compatible accessories — check out fast wireless chargers for Honor Magic8 Pro.

For the Honor Magic8 Lite, which offers 66 W wired charging and does not support wireless charging, a good choice would be wired chargers for Honor Magic8 Lite — these accessories will help minimize charging time.

Connectivity and Add-ons: Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and USB-C 3.2 vs Wi-Fi 6 (ax) and Bluetooth 5.2

In everyday use, both phones provide everything needed (5G, NFC, modern Wi-Fi), but the Pro version has several typically “flagship” features that will be appreciated by those using fast networks, good audio, and more modern connectivity standards.

Honor Magic8 Pro – Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, richer audio, and more flexible SIM

In the Magic8 Pro, you get a very strong package:

Wi-Fi 7 (plus Wi-Fi 6 / Wi-Fi Direct, 2.4 and 5 GHz bands)
Bluetooth 6.0
support for multiple audio codecs: SBC/AAC/aptX/aptX HD/aptX Adaptive/LDAC/LHDC 5.0/LC3
NFC
USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 (this is a practical difference, e.g., when transferring data)

Additionally, the Pro also has more advanced card options:

Dual SIM in several variants: SIM+SIM / SIM+eSIM / eSIM+eSIM

And an expanded multi-system navigation with precise bands:

GPS L1+L5 + AGPS
GLONASS, Galileo (E1+E5a+E5b), BeiDou (B1I+B1C+B2a+B2b), QZSS (L1+L5)

Plus multimedia bonus:

HONOR Sound + HONOR Surround Subwoofer (in practice: stronger, “fuller” sound than typical mid-range devices).

Honor Magic8 Lite – modern base: Wi-Fi 6 (ax), Bluetooth 5.2, 4×4 MIMO

Lite has a very reasonable set, simply more “mid-range”:

Wi-Fi in standards a/b/g/n/ac/ax (which means practically Wi-Fi 6 / ax)
Bluetooth 5.2
NFC
Wi-Fi Direct
additionally: 4×4 MIMO

Audio codecs are also decent:

SBC/AAC/LDAC/aptX/aptX HD/aptX Adaptive + BLE

Navigation is complete (GPS, A-GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou), but without specified bands like L1/L5.

Connector:

USB-C (without specifying the version as in Pro).

Conclusion: if you care about the most modern connectivity (Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0), faster wired transfer (USB-C 3.2), and richer audio → Magic8 Pro. If you just want very good connectivity for everyday use (Wi-Fi 6/ax, NFC, 5G) without paying extra for “top standards” → Magic8 Lite.

System and features: MagicOS 10 (Android 16) vs MagicOS 9 (Android 15)

The system difference between these models is not just a “number”. Magic8 Pro starts with a newer version of Android and MagicOS, which means a longer perspective for updates and the latest features. Magic8 Lite operates on an older version but still offers a complete set of the most important solutions.

Honor Magic8 Pro – Android 16 and MagicOS 10.0

Magic8 Pro runs on:

Android 16
MagicOS 10.0

This provides:

newer system base,
greater future-proofing for updates,
better integration with AI features (especially with the camera and system tools),
potentially longer security support.

In practice: by buying the Pro, you start with the latest software, which usually means more updates in the future and slower “aging” of the system.

Honor Magic8 Lite – Android 15 and MagicOS 9.0

Magic8 Lite runs on:

Android 15
MagicOS 9.0

It is still a modern system that provides:

smooth operation,
access to all current applications,
typical MagicOS features (customization, gestures, power-saving modes, camera tools).

The difference will not be dramatic in the first months of use, but in the long run, the Pro has a “starting” advantage due to the newer version of Android.

Conclusion: if you care about the latest system and maximum future-proofing → Magic8 Pro. If Android 15 is completely sufficient for you and you don’t care about being “on the latest version” → Magic8 Lite will be fully functional.

Who is Honor Magic8 Pro for, and who is Honor Magic8 Lite for?

Choose Magic8 Lite if you are looking for a “life phone”: it should last long, be comfortable, and cost reasonably — without paying extra for flagship features.

For travelers, drivers, and those often away from home

A large battery makes a difference when you don’t want to remember to charge every day. The Lite is also convenient for navigation and watching content (large screen).

For the everyday user: social media, videos, messaging apps

If your phone is mainly for the internet, apps, quick photos, banking, and entertainment — Lite will handle it easily, and it will be easier on your wallet.

For students and those buying “most sensibly”

At this price, Lite is a pragmatic choice: a large screen for notes/reading, a good battery for the whole day, and no feeling that you are overpaying for power you won’t use.

For those sensitive to eye comfort in the evening

If you spend a lot of time on your phone after dark and care about solutions for eye comfort (e.g., high PWM, eye protection modes) — Lite has a very strong argument here.

FAQ – chargers for Samsung Galaxy S26

Can a higher wattage charger damage the battery?

No. The smartphone only draws as much power as it can handle. If you connect a 65W or 100W charger to the Galaxy S26 (25W), the phone will still limit the draw to a maximum of 25W. However, it is crucial that the charger supports the USB Power Delivery (PD) and PPS standards — then charging is safe and stable.

What cable for fast charging Samsung Galaxy S26 will be the best?

To ensure maximum charging speed for the Samsung Galaxy S26 — especially in the Plus (45W) and Ultra (up to 60W) versions — it is advisable to choose a 5A USB-C to USB-C cable with Power Delivery (PD) and PPS support.

What wattage should the charger have if I want to charge both a laptop and the Galaxy S26 at the same time?

In this case, it is best to choose a charger with a power of at least 65W, and ideally 70–100W, especially if the laptop supports charging via USB-C. Models with two USB-C ports will allow you to conveniently charge both devices simultaneously without significant power drops.

Does the Galaxy S26 support fast wireless charging?

Yes. The Galaxy S26 series supports the Qi2 standard, with:

S26 and S26+ up to 20W,
S26 Ultra up to 25W.

To achieve maximum wireless charging speed, it is advisable to choose a Qi2 charger with magnetic positioning.

Is it worth buying a 60W charger for the Galaxy S26?

For the basic Galaxy S26 (25W), it does not affect charging speed, but it may be a good choice if you want to use one charger for multiple devices — e.g., a tablet or laptop.

Will a 45W charger speed up charging for the Galaxy S26?

No — the Galaxy S26 will use a maximum of 25W. The 45W charger makes sense mainly with the Galaxy S26+Plus model.

Does fast charging shorten battery life?

Modern PD and PPS technologies control voltage and temperature, so using a good quality charger, fast charging does not pose a threat to the battery. The most important thing is to avoid cheap, unverified models without proper safeguards.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra – a battle of generations

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is clearly better than the S25 Ultra in three key areas: performance, charging, and low-light photography.

The new model offers:

more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor
brighter main camera f/1.4 (more light at night)
faster 60 W charging (75% in 30 minutes)
larger vapor chamber and better cooling
new Privacy Display feature (private screen)
thinner and lighter body

At the same time, the screen, battery (5000 mAh), and most AI capabilities remain very similar to its predecessor.

Appearance, dimensions, and build quality

Comparison of Galaxy S26 Ultra vs Galaxy S25 Ultra construction

Specification	Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra	Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Dimensions	163.6 × 78.1 × 7.9 mm	162.8 × 77.6 × 8.2 mm
Weight	214 g	218 g
Frame	Armor Aluminium	Titanium
Front Glass	Corning Gorilla Armor 2	Corning Gorilla Armor
Back Glass	Gorilla Glass Victus 2	Gorilla Glass Victus 2
Resistance	IP68	IP68
Port	USB-C 3.2, OTG, DisplayPort 1.4	USB-C 3.2, OTG, DisplayPort 1.4

What has really changed in the design?

At first glance, both models are almost identical. The camera layout, shape, proportions – Samsung has not introduced a visual revolution. The differences are subtle and can only be seen when comparing the specifications.

Galaxy S26 Ultra is thinner (7.9 mm vs 8.2 mm) and lighter (214 g vs 218 g).
This makes it the slimmest Ultra model in the history of the series. The difference of 0.3 mm may seem symbolic, but with such a large device, it affects the comfort of grip.

The change that sparks the most discussion is the abandonment of the titanium frame. The Galaxy S25 Ultra used titanium, while the S26 Ultra features Armor Aluminium. In practice, both materials provide very high structural rigidity, but titanium was a distinguishing element of its predecessor. The new model does not feel less solid, but it is a noticeable change in premium communication.

At the front, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is protected by Gorilla Armor 2, which is the newer generation of protective glass. The back in both cases is Gorilla Glass Victus 2. This means very high resistance to scratches and drops in both devices.

The IP68 certification remains unchanged — both smartphones are resistant to dust and immersion in water.

The slimmer design and glass back mean it’s worth taking care of the case protection as well. Case for Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra helps protect the frame and camera from scratches and cushions falls – especially with such a large and heavy smartphone.

Screen – similar parameters, but S26 Ultra adds “smart” enhancements

Display comparison

	Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra	Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Diagonal	6.9″	6.9″
Type	Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X	Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X
Resolution	3120 × 1440 px	3120 × 1440 px
Refresh Rate	adaptive 1–120 Hz	adaptive 1–120 Hz
Maximum Brightness	2600 nits	2600 nits

What does this mean in practice?

If we look solely at the numbers, the screen is “the same”: identical diagonal, resolution, brightness, and refresh rate. This is important because the S25 Ultra was already at the absolute top, and Samsung didn’t need to forcefully boost the specifications here.

The differences in the S26 Ultra only appear when we delve into how the phone processes images.

New mDNIe engine and ProScaler – why is this necessary if the parameters are the same?

In the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Samsung adds new elements “under the hood”:

mDNIe (Digital Natural Image) – a new image processing engine designed to improve color depth precision and gradations (i.e., tonal transitions, shadows, midtones, subtle differences in hues). In short: the image is supposed to look more “smooth” and natural, without the effect of artificiality in challenging scenes.
ProScaler – uses AI to enhance sharpness and readability of details, especially when the source is of lower quality (e.g., lower resolution video, streaming, reels, heavily compressed content).

These are not “wow on paper” changes, but in everyday use they can provide subtly better image quality: sharper contours in video, less “flat” colors, better transitions in shadows.

Privacy Display – the biggest difference in the screen (and realistically practical)

Here we enter a feature that actually distinguishes the S26 Ultra from the S25 Ultra: Privacy Display.

This is a privacy mode that:

limits screen readability from a side angle, so people next to you see less,
can work for the entire screen or only for selected elements (e.g., apps, notifications, password/PIN fields),
is particularly useful in public places (transportation, queues, open spaces).

Important detail: when private mode is enabled, the image from “your” angle may look different (this is normal), and depending on conditions (brightness, angle, surroundings), some information may still be somewhat visible — this is not an “invisibility cloak,” just a limitation of the view.

With such a large, 6.9-inch display, it’s worth considering additional protection. Tempered glass for Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is a small cost compared to potential repairs 🔒📱

Cameras – does brighter optics make a real difference?

Camera specifications comparison

	Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra	Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Video	8K 30 fps, 4K 120 fps	8K 30 fps, 4K 120 fps

What has changed in practice?

On paper, the arrangement of the cameras looks almost identical, but the key differences lie in the optics.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra has received a brighter main lens (f/1.4 instead of f/1.7).
This means that more light reaches the sensor, which translates to:

better night photos,
shorter exposure times,
lower risk of motion blur,
more natural colors in difficult conditions.

The difference is particularly noticeable after dark.

The second important change concerns the 5x telephoto lens.
In the S26 Ultra, it has an aperture of f/2.8 instead of f/3.4, which also improves photo quality in lower light and provides slightly better background depth.

AI and photo editing

Both models offer advanced Galaxy AI features, but the Galaxy S26 Ultra introduces the ability to edit photos using text commands. You can describe the effect you want to achieve, and the system will automatically adjust the parameters.

It’s more of an evolution than a revolution, but for those who frequently edit photos, it can be a real advantage.

Performance and cooling – the new Snapdragon makes a difference

Processor comparison

	Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra	Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Processor	Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (3 nm)	Snapdragon 8 Elite (3 nm)
Performance cores	2 × 4.74 GHz Oryon V3	2 × 4.47 GHz Oryon V2
Efficient cores	6 × 3.62 GHz	6 × 3.53 GHz
GPU	Adreno 840	Adreno 830
Performance increase	+19% CPU, +24% GPU, +39% NPU	—

What does Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 mean in practice?

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is the only model in the series to receive Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy – currently the most powerful chip in Qualcomm’s offering.

Samsung declares:

up to 19% faster CPU performance,
up to 24% better GPU performance,
up to 39% increase in AI unit power (NPU).

In everyday use, this translates to:

faster app switching,
more stable performance with many open programs,
better fluidity in games,
more efficient operation of Galaxy AI features.

The difference won’t be dramatic when browsing the internet, but in gaming, video editing, or intensive multitasking – it will be.

Cooling – larger vapor chamber

The Galaxy S26 Ultra has received a new Vapor Chamber design.
Samsung reports a thermal performance improvement of about 21%.

In practice, this means:

longer maintenance of maximum performance,
fewer clock speed drops in games,
more stable performance when recording in 8K.

This is particularly important when utilizing the power of the new processor – without adequate cooling, even the best chip won’t show its full potential.

System and updates

Galaxy S26 Ultra launches with Android 16 and One UI 8.5.
Galaxy S25 Ultra runs on Android 15 but will receive an update to Android 16.

Both models have:

Galaxy AI support,
long update support (multi-year security and system patches).

Differences in AI features may blur over time as the older model also receives new tools in updates.

Battery and charging – this is where the difference is most noticeable

Battery and charging power comparison

	Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra	Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Battery capacity	5000 mAh	5000 mAh
Wired charging	60 W	45 W
Wireless charging	25 W	15 W
Reverse charging	4.5 W	4.5 W
30 minutes of charging	up to ~75%	about ~69%

The same battery, but different speed

In terms of capacity, the batteries are identical – both models have 5000 mAh, so the actual usage time on a single charge will be similar.

However, the differences are clear in the charging methods:

Galaxy S26 Ultra supports fast wired charging at 60 W – this means that in about 30 minutes you can reach even ~75% battery.

Galaxy S25 Ultra charges at 45 W – in a similar charging time, it reaches about ~69%.

Wireless charging is also faster – S26 Ultra supports up to 25 W, while S25 Ultra offers 15 W.

This translates to:

shorter sessions under the charger,
faster charging “here and now”,
more flexible use of wireless chargers.

Although the battery capacity has not changed, S26 Ultra has a clear advantage in charging speed, both wired and wireless.

Prices and profitability – does the price difference make sense?

Market price comparison

	Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra	Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
12/256 GB	6499 PLN	5349 PLN
12/512 GB	7399 PLN	5799 PLN
12/1 TB	8699 PLN	6598 PLN

✔️ new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor
✔️ brighter main and 5x telephoto camera
✔️ faster charging (60 W / 25 W wirelessly)
✔️ thinner and lighter design
✔️ Privacy Display and new AI features

At the same time, the S25 Ultra still offers:
✔️ great cameras
✔️ a very large 5000 mAh battery

✔️ stable performance and long updates

When is the S26 Ultra worth it?

if you care about:

the best possible performance in the Galaxy series,
faster charging,
better camera in difficult lighting conditions,
new AI features and screen privacy

During promotions, the price difference is smaller, making it easier to justify purchasing the new generation.

FAQ – frequently asked questions about the Galaxy S26 Ultra

Is it worth switching from the Galaxy S25 Ultra to the Galaxy S26 Ultra?

If you care about faster loading, better performance, and a brighter camera for night photos — yes. However, if the S25 Ultra still runs smoothly and the price difference is significant, a change is not necessary.

Does the Galaxy S26 Ultra have a better camera than the S25 Ultra?

Yes, but the difference mainly concerns low-light performance. The Galaxy S26 Ultra has a brighter aperture (f/1.4 vs f/1.7) and a better 5x telephoto lens (f/2.8 vs f/3.4), which improves the quality of night photos and close-ups.

Is the battery in the Galaxy S26 Ultra larger?
