The best handheld fan for hot weather is the Spigen A905 Mini (85 zł), a pocket-sized model with a 1800 mAh battery and up to 11 hours of operation. The most powerful is the AWEI F38 MINI (89 zł) with a motor speed of 13,500 rpm, while you can cool down the cheapest with the USAMS Mini Pocket ZB354 for 15.90 zł. Below is the full ranking of the TOP 10 with prices and specifications.

Summer is in full swing, and the heat can be tough in a tram, at a festival, or in a stuffy office without air conditioning. A small fan in your bag costs less than a meal out, and you feel the difference immediately. The problem is that the models look almost identical, and they differ in battery, airflow strength, and weight. We have gathered the ten best handheld fans available at homescreen.pl and suggest which one to choose for your scenario.

How to choose a handheld fan? The most important criteria

Before we move on to the ranking, it’s worth knowing what to pay attention to. A good handheld fan is a compromise between airflow strength and operating time. A stronger blast drains the battery faster.

• Battery capacity (mAh): determines the operating time. 1200 mAh lasts a few hours on low speed, while 3600 mAh lasts all day outside the home.
• Number of speeds: at least three speeds provide real control over strength and noise.
• Waga: poniżej 100 g wentylator zniknie w kieszeni, powyżej 200 g lepiej sprawdzi się na biurku niż w dłoni.
• Ładowanie USB-C: dziś standard w lepszych modelach. Naładujesz je tym samym kablem co telefon, także z powerbanku.
• Głośność: na najwyższym biegu każdy mały wentylator szumi. Liczy się dobrze dobrany bieg średni, cichy, a wciąż wyczuwalny.
• Typ: do ręki, na biurko, składany, na szyję czy wielofunkcyjny. Każdy pasuje do innej sytuacji.

Nie daj się nabrać na hasła typu „turbo» bez podanych parametrów. Liczą się konkretne mAh, obroty i deklarowany czas pracy. Warto też zwrócić uwagę na materiały: obudowy z ABS i PP są lekkie i odporne na drobne upadki, co przy urządzeniu noszonym w torbie ma znaczenie. Jeśli szukasz sprzętu do plecaka, celuj w wentylator przenośny do 100 g z baterią co najmniej 1800 mAh.

Porada: standard USB-C (USB-IF) sprawia, że jeden kabel obsłuży telefon, słuchawki i wentylator. To realna wygoda w podróży, dlatego traktujemy USB-C jako plus przy wyborze.

Wentylator ręczny, na biurko, składany czy na szyję?

Not every scenario involves holding a fan in your hand. Match the type to the situation:

• On the go (walking, festival, transportation): a classic handheld fan like Spigen A905, AWEI F38, or the budget-friendly ZB354. Lightweight, fits in your pocket.
• At the desk and home: magnetic model USAMS or AWEI F45 with a clip. They stand independently and direct airflow where needed.
• While traveling: foldable USAMS ZB352, which you can flatten and store in your bag.
• With hands-free: neck fans. In the homescreen.pl fan category, there are also AWEI models worn around the neck, convenient for cooking or cleaning.

How much power does a handheld fan consume?

This is a common question, and the answer is reassuring: pennies. A small handheld fan consumes between 3 to 7 W. Even charging it daily throughout the summer, the annual energy cost amounts to a few złoty, not dozens of złoty.

The key is the battery. A 2000 mAh model can be fully charged in about 2 hours, and then you can use it wirelessly for most of the day. Outdoors, you can recharge it from a power bank with the same USB-C cable that you use for your phone. Therefore, a battery-operated fan is more convenient and cheaper to use than 230 V mains models.

How to take care of the fan battery

The built-in lithium-ion battery will last for hundreds of cycles if treated wisely. A few simple rules will extend the fan’s life for years.

• Do not leave it discharged for months: before long-term storage, charge the battery to about half.
• Charge with a reasonable current: fans draw 5 V, so a regular smartphone charger or a USB port on a laptop will suffice. A powerful GaN charger will not charge it faster.
• Avoid extreme temperatures: do not leave the device on a windowsill in full sun or in a heated car.

On a trip, a fan plus a power bank will work well together. Thanks to it, you have coolness guaranteed all day outside the home.

Which handheld fan to choose?

Briefly and specifically, depending on your priorities:

• Best for everyday use → Spigen A905 Mini. Long runtime, strap and stand, trusted brand.
• Maximum power and battery → AWEI F38 MINI. 3600 mAh, 100 levels, LED display.
• Most power for 49 PLN → USAMS Ice-Cooling High-Speed. 14,000 RPM motor and display.
• On the desk → magnetic USAMS or AWEI F45 with a clip. Hands-free while working.
• For travel → foldable USAMS ZB352. Flat, handy, five speeds.
• Up to 30 PLN → USAMS Mini ZB288, and even cheaper USAMS Mini Pocket ZB354 for 15.90 PLN.
• Something more than a fan → AWEI F40 3in1, which blows, vacuums, and dries.

There is no bad choice here. The difference comes down to where and how often you will use it.

Summary

The best handheld fan for the 2026 season is the Spigen A905 Mini (85 PLN), which, thanks to 11 hours of operation, low weight, and practical accessories, will work almost anywhere. Do you care about power? Choose AWEI F38 MINI or the cheaper USAMS Ice-Cooling High-Speed. For the desk, go for the magnetic USAMS or AWEI F45, and for travel, take the foldable ZB352. Budget up to 30 PLN? USAMS Mini ZB288 and Mini Pocket ZB354 won’t disappoint.

All recommended models can be charged with a USB cable (better through USB-C), so you can charge them together with your phone, even while traveling. Check the full offer and current prices in the category fans and handheld fans at homescreen.pl → and choose a model for your heat.

FAQ: frequently asked questions about handheld fans

Which handheld fan is best for hot weather?
On a daily basis, the best choice is the Spigen A905 Mini with a 1800 mAh battery and up to 11 hours of operation. If you need the strongest airflow, choose the AWEI F38 MINI (3600 mAh) or the cheaper USAMS Ice-Cooling High-Speed with a motor of up to 14,000 RPM.

What is a good and cheap handheld fan?
The best price-to-quality ratio is offered by the USAMS Mini ZB288 for 29 PLN, while the cheapest option is the USAMS Mini Pocket ZB354 for 15.90 PLN. Both have three speeds and are very lightweight. They are a great choice for beginners or for a child.

How much does it cost to run a handheld fan for an hour?
Pennies. A small fan consumes 3-7 W, so an hour of operation costs just a fraction of a penny. Even daily charging throughout the summer amounts to an expense measured in zlotys per year.

How long does a handheld fan run on a single charge?
It depends on the battery and speed setting. A 500 mAh model runs for about 2 hours, a 1200 mAh for up to 4.7 hours, and a 3600 mAh for even up to 10 hours on low speed. At maximum speed, the runtime is cut in half or more.

Does the handheld fan charge via USB-C?
Better models, like the Spigen A905, AWEI F38, or USAMS Ice-Cooling, have a USB-C port and can be charged with the same charger as your phone. The cheapest fans may use an older USB port, which is worth checking in the specifications.

What is better: a handheld fan or a tower fan?
These are two different tools. The tower fan cools the whole room, but it stays in one place and requires power from an outlet. The handheld fan is portable and will cool you anywhere, even outside the house. It’s best to have both: the tower fan for the evening at home, the handheld one for your bag.

Is a handheld fan noisy?
On the lowest and medium settings, it operates quietly and does not interfere with conversation or work. The highest setting, especially in strong models like AWEI F38 or USAMS Ice-Cooling, is clearly audible, but you usually only use it during extreme heat.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra focuses on a 1-inch Leica sensor and a 200 MP periscope with smooth zoom, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 200-megapixel main camera and two separate telephoto lenses (3x and 5x). Both flagships start at 6,499 PLN. Want a photographic character and a large sensor? Choose Xiaomi. Opting for versatile, reliable zoom and Galaxy AI? Go for Samsung.

This is a duel of two completely different philosophies of mobile photography. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra (premiere in Poland on February 28, 2026) leans towards a «real camera» with Leica and a sensor reminiscent of compacts. The Galaxy S26 Ultra (from March 11, 2026) is a computational powerhouse with the most extensive focal length set on the market.

In this comparison of the flagship cameras of 2026, we focus primarily on photography, as it is what divides these phones the most. We break down the main lens, zoom, ultra-wide angle, selfie, character of photos and videos. At the end, you will find a clear recommendation.

Camera Specifications — Xiaomi 17 Ultra vs Galaxy S26 Ultra

Let’s start with a complete overview of the optical systems. This is where we can see how different paths both manufacturers have taken.

Camera	Xiaomi 17 Ultra	Galaxy S26 Ultra
Main	50 MP, 1″ Light Fusion 1050L (Leica), f/1.67	200 MP, 1/1.3″, f/1.4, OIS
Telephoto	no separate (zoom through periscope)	10 MP, 3x optical, f/2.4, OIS
Periscope	200 MP, 1/1.4″, smooth optical zoom	50 MP, 5x optical, f/2.9, OIS
Ultrawide	50 MP	50 MP, f/1.9, 120°
Selfie	50 MP	12 MP
Color Tuning	Leica (Authentic and Vibrant profiles)	Galaxy AI, ProVisual Engine
Optical Zoom	smooth (periscope 200 MP)	two ranges: 3x and 5x
Video	up to 8K	up to 8K
Special Edition	Leica Edition with mechanical zoom ring	none

At first glance, two ideas for the same thing are visible. Xiaomi focuses on two huge sensors (main and periscope), Samsung on four specialized lenses covering more focal lengths.

Main camera — 1-inch sensor vs 200 megapixels

This is the heart of both phones and the biggest difference in philosophy. Xiaomi 17 Ultra has a larger sensor, Galaxy S26 Ultra more pixels.

Xiaomi montuje 50-megapikselowy sensor Light Fusion 1050L o przekątnej 1 cala, strojony z Leicą i z technologią LOFIC rozszerzającą zakres tonalny. Duża matryca to więcej światła na piksel, naturalne rozmycie tła i lepsze zdjęcia po zmroku bez agresywnego software’u. Wysokie noty w teście aparatu Xiaomi 17 Ultra w DXOMARK potwierdzają, że to jeden z najlepszych aparatów na rynku.

Galaxy S26 Ultra odpowiada 200-megapikselowym sensorem 1/1.3″ z jaśniejszą przysłoną f/1.4 (rok wcześniej było f/1.7). Mniejsza matryca, ale gigantyczna rozdzielczość daje ogromny zapas detalu i swobodę kadrowania — możesz przyciąć zdjęcie i wciąż mieć ostry plik.

W praktyce różnica wygląda tak:

• Xiaomi — bardziej „aparatowy» charakter, ładniejszy bokeh, lepsza praca w trudnym świetle dzięki wielkiej matrycy.
• Samsung — więcej detalu w dzień, większa elastyczność kadrowania i bardziej przewidywalny, obliczeniowy efekt.

Conclusion: If the most important factor is the quality of the main camera at night and the photographic atmosphere, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra has the advantage. For photos in full light and maximum resolution, Samsung performs just as well.

Zoom — one powerful periscope vs dual telephoto

This is where the paths diverge the most, and often this element determines the choice.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra has one, but exceptional telephoto lens: a 200 MP periscope on a 1/1.4″ sensor with smooth optical zoom. The enormous resolution ensures that even heavily cropped shots retain surprisingly much detail. This solution shines in medium and long zoom — portraits, architecture, details from a distance. Thanks to the pixel reserve, intermediate magnifications (e.g., 4x or 6x) are cut from the sensor without real loss of quality.

Galaxy S26 Ultra focuses on the classic versatility typical of the Ultra series: two separate telephoto lenses — 10 MP with 3x zoom (f/2.4) and a 50-megapixel 5x periscope (f/2.9, with a brighter aperture than before). This gives you dedicated optics for portraits (3x) and for long zoom (5x), while the software smoothly combines the ranges up to 100x digital zoom.

What does it mean in the field?

• Xiaomi wins in raw detail at specific, long-range zoom.
• Samsung wins in versatility — you have native focal lengths for different situations, from portrait to landscape from afar.

If you take a lot of portraits, Samsung’s dual telephoto lens can be more convenient on a daily basis. If maximum detail in strong zoom matters to you, Xiaomi’s periscope is impressive.

Ultrawide angle and selfies

In the ultrawide angle, it’s a tie on paper — both phones have 50-megapixel sensors. The Galaxy S26 Ultra adds a bright aperture of f/1.9 and a 120-degree angle, which helps with architecture and landscapes. Xiaomi maintains a consistent level and color with the rest of the lenses thanks to Leica tuning.

Selfies are Xiaomi’s advantage at least on the numbers: 50 MP versus 12 MP in Samsung. More pixels up front means sharper self-portraits and better framing for group photos. However, Samsung makes up for it with refined processing and natural skin rendering.

Character of photos — Leica vs Galaxy AI

Numbers are not everything. Whether you will like the photos is determined by their «character» — and here the difference is fundamental.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra uses Leica tuning. You get two profiles: Leica Authentic (contrasty, with strong shadows, more documentary) and Leica Vibrant (brighter colors for social media). This sound is known from Leica cameras, which many photographers simply love. The Leica Edition adds a mechanical zoom ring on the body, allowing you to set the focal length, exposure, and white balance like in a real lens.

Galaxy S26 Ultra is on a computational path. Galaxy AI and the ProVisual engine ensure a consistent, «safe» effect: readable colors, strong HDR, and plenty of automatic enhancements. It’s convenient, predictable, and great for those who want a good photo without fussing around.

Tip: If you like to influence the photo and appreciate a characterful, photographic look, you will love Leica in Xiaomi. If you prefer the phone to «do well for you,» you will appreciate Samsung’s approach.

Night photography — where a large sensor makes a difference

After dark, Xiaomi 17 Ultra often wins. The 1-inch sensor of the main camera gathers more light, so night shots are brighter and less «processed» than in phones that have to compensate with algorithms. Less noise, more natural city lights, and better preserved neon colors.

Galaxy S26 Ultra is not far behind. A brighter f/1.4 aperture and a strong night mode deliver very good results, although Samsung tends to brighten and smooth the scene more. It’s a matter of taste: Xiaomi keeps the night atmosphere, while Samsung prefers to show as many details as possible.

In night zoom, Xiaomi maintains an advantage thanks to the 200 MP periscope, which retains more detail when zoomed in even in low light.

Portrety i bokeh

Do portretów liczą się dwie rzeczy: rozmycie tła i odwzorowanie skóry. Xiaomi 17 Ultra korzysta z dużej matrycy i strojenia Leiki, więc bokeh jest naturalny, a odcień skóry przyjemnie ciepły. Profile Leica Authentic i Vibrant pozwalają dobrać klimat pod nastrój zdjęcia.

Galaxy S26 Ultra ma za to dedykowany teleobiektyw 3x — klasyczną „portretówkę», która daje pochlebną perspektywę bez podchodzenia zbyt blisko. Efekt jest spójny i przewidywalny, a Galaxy AI dba o czytelne odseparowanie postaci od tła.

Wideo

Both flagships record in up to 8K resolution and offer stabilization and pro modes. Samsung has long been a benchmark in video on Android — it has consistent color across lenses and very good sound. Xiaomi has caught up significantly, and the large sensor of the main camera helps in night recordings. For most users, the differences in filming will be subtle; only creators will fully appreciate the advantage.

The rest of the specifications — display, battery, performance

Cameras are not everything, so a brief note on the rest. Both phones have top processors, bright AMOLED displays, and fast charging. Xiaomi stands out here with a large 6800 mAh battery and a display brightness of 3500 nits, which translates to excellent readability in sunlight and long usage time.

Parameter	Xiaomi 17 Ultra	Galaxy S26 Ultra
Battery	6800 mAh	flagship, fast charging
Display	AMOLED, up to 3500 nits	AMOLED, high refresh rate
System / AI	HyperOS, AI assistant	One UI, Galaxy AI
S Pen	none	S Pen

One of Samsung’s advantages remains the S Pen — a stylus that Xiaomi does not offer. If you take notes, draw, or edit photos with your finger, this is a real advantage of the Galaxy.

Price and availability in Poland

The starting prices are identical: both flagships cost from 6,499 PLN. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra in the 16/512 GB version is 6,499 PLN, while the 16 GB/1 TB version is 6,999 PLN. The Galaxy S26 Ultra starts at 6,499 PLN for the 256 GB variant and can be significantly cheaper during promotions.

Both phones are officially available in Poland, so you can buy them with a Polish warranty and support. This is important — with Xiaomi Ultra flagships, it has varied, but the 17 Ultra model has entered official sales.

Which one to choose? Recommendations based on needs

In terms of the camera, there is no single winner — there is a winner for a specific style of photography:

• You want the largest sensor and photographic character → Xiaomi 17 Ultra (1-inch sensor, Leica tuning).
• Maximum detail in strong zoom matters → Xiaomi 17 Ultra (200 MP periscope).
• You value manual control over the frame → Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition (zoom ring).
• Do you need a versatile, reliable zoom for everyday use → Galaxy S26 Ultra (3x and 5x).
• Do you want maximum detail during the day and freedom in framing → Galaxy S26 Ultra (200 MP main).
• Are you interested in the S Pen and Samsung ecosystem → Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Our choice: For pure photographic pleasure and night shots — Xiaomi 17 Ultra. As a universal, reliable device with the best zoom package and S Pen — Galaxy S26 Ultra. Both are at the top of the 2026 rankings.

Podsumowanie

Xiaomi 17 Ultra i Galaxy S26 Ultra to dwa najlepsze aparaty w telefonie w 2026 roku, tyle że osiągają to inaczej.

• Zoom: Xiaomi (peryskop 200 MP, detal) vs Samsung (3x i 5x, wszechstronność).
• Character: Leica (Xiaomi) vs Galaxy AI (Samsung).
• Price: identical, starting from 6,499 PLN.

FAQ — frequently asked questions

Xiaomi 17 Ultra or Galaxy S26 Ultra, which has a better camera?
It depends on the style. Xiaomi 17 Ultra wins with sensor size (1 inch) and detail in strong zoom (periscope 200 MP), while Galaxy S26 Ultra excels in zoom versatility (3x and 5x) and main camera resolution (200 MP). For night shots, Xiaomi is better, for universal use — Samsung.

Which takes better photos at night?
Usually, Xiaomi 17 Ultra — thanks to the 1-inch main camera sensor that gathers more light. Galaxy S26 Ultra also performs well, but relies more on computational processing.

Which has better zoom?
It depends on the distance. Xiaomi provides more detail in one strong periscope 200 MP, while Samsung is more flexible with two telephoto lenses (3x and 5x) covering different focal lengths.

How much do Xiaomi 17 Ultra and Galaxy S26 Ultra cost in Poland?
Both start from 6,499 PLN. Xiaomi 17 Ultra in the 16/512 GB version is 6,499 PLN, and the 16 GB/1 TB version — 6,999 PLN. Galaxy S26 Ultra costs from 6,499 PLN for 256 GB and can be cheaper during promotions.

What is the Leica edition in Xiaomi 17 Ultra?
It is a variant with a unique design and a mechanical zoom ring on the body, allowing you to set the focal length, exposure, and white balance like in a classic lens. The camera specifications are the same as in the standard version.

Does the Galaxy S26 Ultra have an S Pen, while the Xiaomi 17 Ultra does not?
Yes. The Galaxy S26 Ultra retains the S Pen stylus, which the Xiaomi 17 Ultra does not offer. For those who take notes and draw, this is a significant advantage for Samsung.

Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is set to debut on July 22, 2026, at Samsung Unpacked in London, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Wide, and Z Flip 8. The key changes in the watch include a new processor in 3 nm lithography, an 800 mAh battery (35% larger), and Samsung’s first-ever 5G. Note: these are findings from leaks, Samsung has not yet officially confirmed the date or name.

Summer is traditionally the time for Samsung’s foldables and watches. This year, the Korean manufacturer is expected to showcase the second generation of its most powerful smartwatch, while also refreshing the entire line of wearable devices and foldables. Below, we have gathered everything that is known about the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 premiere: the date, leaked specifications, expected price, and a list of phones that will be released on the same day.

When is the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 premiere?

The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is set to be presented on July 22, 2026 during the Galaxy Unpacked conference. According to reports, Samsung is organizing a summer Unpacked in London for the first time, moving away from the previous pattern with Korea and the USA.

The date is consistently reported by tech outlets, including Tom’s Guide and PhoneArena. An additional signal that the premiere is near was the passage of the Galaxy Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2 through the American FCC in mid-June 2026.

Attention: As of the publication date, Samsung has not yet sent out an official invitation for Unpacked nor has it used the name «Galaxy Watch Ultra 2». Treat the date of July 22 and the specifications as highly probable leaks, not data confirmed by the manufacturer. Official information will appear on the Samsung newsroom.

Pre-orders usually start on the day of the conference, with retail sales occurring 1–2 weeks later. If the pattern repeats, you will be able to buy the watch in stores at the turn of July and August 2026.

What’s new in the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2?

The second generation Ultra is expected to be an evolution, not a revolution — Samsung is refining what was lacking in the first model. Three changes make the biggest difference.

• New 3 nm processor — the watch is set to receive a next-generation Snapdragon Wear chip (Wear Elite), focused on AI tasks. The lower lithography means higher performance with lower power consumption.
• 800 mAh battery — an increase of about 35% compared to 590 mAh in the first Ultra. This was the biggest drawback of its predecessor, so a longer battery life will be noticeable on a daily basis.
• 5G — the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is expected to be Samsung’s first smartwatch with a 5G modem. However, the 5G versions will only be available in select markets (USA, Korea), while in Europe we will receive 4G/LTE variants.

The rest of the construction is to remain verified: a 47 mm titanium case, a bright AMOLED display, an additional programmable Quick Button, and resistance to extreme conditions. This is a watch for runners, divers, and those who need equipment that can withstand more than a classic smartwatch.

Parameter (leak)	Galaxy Watch Ultra 2
Premiere	July 22, 2026 (Galaxy Unpacked)
Processor	Snapdragon Wear Elite, 3 nm
Battery	approx. 800 mAh
Connectivity	5G (USA/Korea), 4G/LTE (Europe)
Case	Titanium, 47 mm
System	Wear OS / One UI Watch

Design of the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 — what leaks reveal

The most excitement surrounds the appearance. According to the GalaxyTechie account on X, the second Ultra is said to be more angular than its predecessor, and there will be an engraving with numbers from 1 to 12 around the display. This detail is reminiscent of classic mechanical watches, which could clearly distinguish the Ultra 2 from the rest of the smartwatch market.

One question remains open: will this ring be rotatable, like in diving watches, or will it serve solely as decoration? For now, it is unknown.

The same reports indicate thinner bezels around the display and redesigned buttons on the right side of the case. The round Quick Button is set to be replaced by a flat, wider button in a vivid orange color. These may seem like minor changes, but in a watch worn on the wrist daily, the look makes a big difference.

Note: The above design information is unofficial leaks from social media, not data confirmed by Samsung. The final look will only be revealed at the premiere.

Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 vs Galaxy Watch Ultra — what is changing

If you have the first Ultra, you will most notice the jump in battery and performance. The rest is cosmetic.

Cecha	Galaxy Watch Ultra (2024)	Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 (przeciek)
Procesor	Exynos W1000	Snapdragon Wear Elite (3 nm)
Bateria	590 mAh	ok. 800 mAh
5G	❌	✅ (wybrane rynki)
Koperta	Tytan, 47 mm	Tytan, 47 mm
Premiera	lipiec 2024	lipiec 2026

Dla posiadaczy modelu z 2024 roku to upgrade „dla chcących», a nie konieczność. Dłuższy czas pracy i szybszy chip kuszą, ale tytanowa koperta i czujniki zdrowotne pozostają na podobnym poziomie. Większy sens przesiadka ma dla osób z Galaxy Watch 6 lub starszym sprzętem.

Jakie telefony pojawią się razem z Galaxy Watch Ultra 2?

Unpacked to nie tylko zegarki. Tego samego dnia Samsung ma pokazać nową generację składaków — i to właśnie one będą gwiazdami konferencji. Poniższe parametry pochodzą z przecieków i nie są potwierdzone przez Samsunga.

• Galaxy Z Fold 8 — większa bateria 5000 mAh (z 4400 mAh), ładowanie 45 W, aparat ultraszerokokątny 50 MP i procesor Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Spodziewana cena startowa to ok. 1 999 dolarów.
• Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide — nowy, lżejszy wariant o proporcjach bliższych tabletowi: wewnętrzny ekran 7,6″ w formacie 4:3, masa około 200 g i podwójny aparat 50 MP bez teleobiektywu.
• Galaxy Z Flip 8 — składak z klapką z ekranem wewnętrznym 6,9″ i dużym wyświetlaczem zewnętrznym 4,1″ otaczającym aparaty.

Do tego dojdą Galaxy Watch 9 (w tej generacji bez wersji Classic, według zgłoszeń FCC) oraz okulary Galaxy Glasses, pierwsze inteligentne okulary Samsunga. Więcej o samych składakach pisaliśmy w artykule o premierze Galaxy Z Fold 8 i Z Fold 8 Wide.

Jeśli planujesz kupić nowego folda lub flipa, etui i folie warto mieć od pierwszego dnia. Sprawdź akcesoria do Galaxy Z Fold i Galaxy Z Flip, kategorie aktualizujemy wraz z premierą nowych modeli.

Cena i dostępność w Polsce

Samsung nie podał jeszcze cen, ale punktem odniesienia jest poprzednik. Galaxy Watch Ultra z 2024 roku startował w Polsce od około 3 299 zł, więc druga generacja powinna utrzymać się w podobnym przedziale, ewentualnie z niewielką podwyżką.

W Europie, w tym w Polsce, spodziewaj się wariantu 4G/LTE zamiast 5G. W praktyce różnica jest niewielka — zegarek i tak najczęściej korzysta z łączności przez telefon, a samodzielne 5G w smartwatchu to bardziej ciekawostka niż realna potrzeba.

Akcesoria do Galaxy Watch Ultra — co warto przygotować

Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 retains a 47 mm titanium case, so bands and screens compatible with the current Ultra should also work with the new generation. We will confirm the final compatibility right after the launch.

If you want protection ready for day one, check out the accessories for Galaxy Watch Ultra category — you’ll find among others watch bands and protective screens for the display.

Summary

Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 promises to be a solid upgrade where it hurt the most: the 800 mAh battery and new 3 nm chip address the biggest flaws of its predecessor, and 5G is a novelty in Samsung smartwatches. The launch is set for July 22, 2026, at Galaxy Unpacked in London, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Fold 8 Wide, Z Flip 8, and Galaxy Glasses.

The key takeaways:

• Launch: July 22, 2026 (leak, no official confirmation from Samsung).
• Key changes: 3 nm chip, 800 mAh battery, 5G (4G/LTE in Europe).
• Price: likely starting from around 3,299 PLN, based on the predecessor.

FAQ — frequently asked questions

Is it worth waiting for the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2?

The best glass for the MacBook Neo 13 is the Spigen Glas.tR Slim FC (115 zł), tempered 9H with full coverage and an oleophobic coating. The best price-to-protection ratio is offered by the hybrid 3MK FlexibleGlass (79 zł). For working in an open space, choose the Spigen Safe View privacy film.

The MacBook Neo 13 is the cheapest Mac in history, but its glossy Liquid Retina screen scratches just as easily as in more expensive models. The good news: protection costs from 79 zł, which is less than 3% of the laptop’s price.

In this guide, you will find a ranking of glasses and films for the MacBook Neo 13 available at the Home Screen store, from classic tempered glass, through matte and anti-reflective films, to privacy overlays. Each product is described with a price, specifications, and specific indications of who it is suitable for.

Does the MacBook Neo 13 even need glass or film?

Let’s be honest: on a laptop, screen protection is not as essential as on a phone that you carry in your pocket with keys. But there are three real reasons to consider glass or film for the MacBook Neo 13.

• Scratches and keyboard imprints — when the lid is closed, the keys almost touch the screen. Crumbs or grains of sand can leave permanent scratches on the display coating.
• Privacy — in a train, café, or open space office, the privacy film obscures the screen from people on the side.
• Antireflectiveness — the glossy Liquid Retina panel strongly reflects light. The matte film reduces glare and fingerprints.

Additionally, there is the economic aspect. The MacBook Neo 13 costs from 2,999 PLN, and repairing the display out of warranty is an expense ranging from several hundred to over a thousand PLN. Glass for 79–115 PLN is a cheaper insurance than any service visit.

The glass is best treated as part of a larger set. It is worth pairing it with a case for MacBook Neo 13 and USB-C charger, which Apple does not include with the MacBook Neo 13 in Europe.

Note: The MacBook Neo 13 screen is not touch-sensitive, so you don’t have to worry about touch sensitivity after applying the glass. Clarity, fit, and coating quality are what matters.

What to pay attention to when choosing glass or film for MacBook Neo 13

Before we move on to the ranking, a brief note on the criteria. The display of the MacBook Neo 13 has a diagonal of 13″, a resolution of 2408 × 1506 px, and a brightness of 500 nits according to the official Apple specifications. It is a flat, glossy panel without curves, so any overlay adheres across the entire surface.

Key parameters when choosing:

• Type of protection: tempered glass (the hardest), hybrid glass (flexible, does not crack) or film (the thinnest, matte or privacy).
• Hardness: scale from 7H to 9H. The higher, the better resistance to scratches.
• Coatings: oleophobic (fewer fingerprints), anti-reflective (fewer reflections), privacy (viewing angle filter).
• Installation: positioning frame or magnetic system makes it easier to align perfectly without bubbles.
• Contents of the set: cloths, dust removal strips, and installation frame realistically shorten the installation of a large screen.

In the Home Screen store, there are glasses and films from three brands available for this model: Spigen, 3MK, and GrizzGlass. Below are the best products from each category of protection.

Ranking of glasses and films for MacBook Neo 13

1. Spigen Glas.tR Slim FC — best tempered glass (115 zł)

Our choice in the tempered glass category

Classic tempered glass with a hardness of 9H, the highest on the scale. Spigen Glas.tR Slim FC features a Full Cover design with an elegant black frame that covers the entire panel with some margin (dimensions 292.38 × 186.74 mm).

What distinguishes Spigen glass:

• Oleophobic coating — the screen collects fewer fingerprints and is easier to clean.
• Anti-Dust Nano Coating — additional coating from Spigen that reduces dust accumulation under the edges.
• Installation kit included — makes it easier to apply evenly over a large surface.

To najlepszy wybór, jeśli chcesz maksymalnej ochrony przed zarysowaniami i zachować oryginalną, błyszczącą czytelność wyświetlacza. Jedyny kompromis? Szkło 9H jest sztywne i nie wybacza błędów przy montażu. Warto się nie spieszyć.

Parametr	Wartość
Typ	Szkło hartowane
Twardość	9H
Pokrycie	Full Cover (czarna ramka)
Powłoki	Oleofobowa + Anti-Dust Nano
Cena	115 zł

2. 3MK FlexibleGlass — najlepszy stosunek ceny do ochrony (79 zł)

Najlepsza cena w rankingu

Najtańsza ochrona w zestawieniu i jednocześnie świetny kompromis między szkłem a folią. 3MK FlexibleGlass to szkło hybrydowe wzmocnione warstwą ceramiczną, twardość 7H, grubość poniżej 0,5 mm i elastyczność, dzięki której nie pęka tak łatwo jak zwykłe szkło.

Mocne strony:

• Wzmocnienie ekranu o 250% przy uderzeniu, według producenta.
• Powłoka antybakteryjna — ogranicza rozwój bakterii na powierzchni.
• Powłoka oleofobowa i system Fit-In™ z nakładkami pozycjonującymi.

Jeśli zdarzyło Ci się kiedyś rozbić klasyczne szkło hartowane, hybryda 3MK będzie trwalszą i wyraźnie tańszą alternatywą. Za 79 zł to najrozsądniejszy zakup dla większości użytkowników.

Typ	Szkło hybrydowe
Twardość	7H
Grubość	< 0,5 mm
Powłoki	Ceramiczna + oleofobowa + antybakteryjna
Cena	79 zł

3. GrizzGlass HybridGlass Easy — bogaty zestaw montażowy (86,99 zł)

Second proposal in the hybrid glass category. GrizzGlass HybridGlass Easy combines glass with film and according to the manufacturer strengthens the screen by up to 400% upon impact.

The biggest advantage is the addition of «Easy» in the name: a complete mounting kit that makes a difference with a 13-inch screen:

• Eco-friendly positioning frame made of cellulose, perfectly aligning the glass.
• Wet and dry cloth and the DustStix tool for removing dust particles.
• Oleophobic coating reducing fingerprints.

You pay a few zlotys more compared to 3MK, but you get a more comprehensive set and higher declared impact resistance. A good choice if installing large glass stresses you out.

4. Spigen Safe View — folia prywatyzująca z montażem magnetycznym (126,65 zł)

Nasz wybór dla pracy mobilnej

Pracujesz z poufnymi danymi w pociągu albo w open space? Spigen Safe View to folia prywatyzująca, która zaciemnia ekran dla osób patrzących pod kątem, a Tobie pozostawia pełną czytelność na wprost.

Najciekawsza jest tu metoda montażu:

• System magnetyczny, bez kleju. Folię nakładasz i zdejmujesz w sekundę, np. tylko na czas podróży.
• Wielokrotnego użytku — warstwa mocująca regeneruje się po przemyciu wodą.
• Grubość 0,65 mm i pełne dopasowanie do panelu (292,38 × 186,74 mm).

To rozwiązanie premium dla osób, które cenią dyskrecję, ale nie chcą na stałe przyciemniać ekranu. Zdejmiesz folię w domu i odzyskasz pełną jasność Liquid Retina.

Parametr	Wartość
Typ	Folia prywatyzująca
Montaż	Magnetyczny, bez kleju

5. GrizzGlass SecretGlass Easy — szkło prywatyzujące (129,99 zł)

Alternatywa dla folii prywatyzującej, jeśli wolisz sztywniejsze szkło. GrizzGlass SecretGlass Easy łączy prywatyzację z ochroną mechaniczną, uniemożliwia podglądanie z boku i jednocześnie wzmacnia ekran o 250% dzięki warstwie ceramicznej.

W zestawie znajdziesz pełen komplet „Easy»: biodegradowalną ramkę pozycjonującą, ściereczki na mokro i sucho oraz narzędzie DustStix. To dwie funkcje w jednym produkcie: prywatność i ochrona przed zarysowaniami — kosztem tego, że filtr przyciemniający działa na stałe.

Parametr	Wartość
Typ	Szkło prywatyzujące
Wzmocnienie	+250% (warstwa ceramiczna)
Funkcja	Filtr prywatyzujący (na stałe)
Zestaw	Ramka celulozowa, ściereczki, DustStix
Cena	129,99 zł

6. 3MK PaperFeeling [2 PACK] — folia matowa do pisania (119 zł)

The best option if a shiny screen bothers you. 3MK PaperFeeling is a matte film with a thickness of only 0.18 mm, which gives the surface a delicate, paper-like texture and significantly reduces glare and fingerprints.

Two arguments in favor:

• 2 PACK set — two films for the price, meaning a spare or material for a second installation attempt.
• Reinforcement up to 200%, Inviscid-Sil™ adhesive, Fit-In™ system, and Dust-Fix™ strips.

The matte coating costs a bit of transparency and color saturation, so it’s not a choice for graphic designers working with color. But for writing, reading, and working in a bright room, it works great.

Parameter	Value
Type	Matte film
Thickness	0.18 mm
Content	2 pieces (2 PACK)
Reinforcement	up to 200%
Price	119 zł

7. GrizzGlass MatteScreen Easy — anti-reflective film (99.99 zł)

Druga folia matowa w rankingu i tańsza o 20 zł od 3MK PaperFeeling. GrizzGlass MatteScreen Easy redukuje refleksy świetlne i odciski palców, a do tego dostajesz pełen zestaw montażowy „Easy» z ramką z celulozy.

W ofercie ma ocenę 4,5/5 i jest dobrym wyborem, jeśli zależy Ci na efekcie antyrefleksyjnym, ale nie potrzebujesz zapasowej sztuki z kompletu 2 PACK. Materiał jest elastyczny i nie pęka, więc montaż wybacza drobne pomyłki.

Typ	Folia matowa antyrefleksyjna

Glass, matte film or privacy film — what to choose for MacBook Neo 13?

The choice depends on how and where you use your laptop. Here are simple recommendations:

• Chcesz po prostu chronić ekran i zachować oryginalny, błyszczący obraz → szkło hartowane Spigen Glas.tR Slim FC (9H, 115 zł).
• Szukasz najtańszej, solidnej ochrony → hybrydowe 3MK FlexibleGlass (79 zł). Nie pęka i ma powłokę antybakteryjną.
• Boisz się montażu dużego szkła → GrizzGlass HybridGlass Easy z ramką pozycjonującą i kompletem ściereczek.
• Pracujesz z poufnymi danymi w miejscach publicznych → szkło GrizzGlass SecretGlass
• Przeszkadzają Ci odbicia światła → folia matowa 3MK PaperFeeling (2 szt.) lub tańszy GrizzGlass MatteScreen.

Co jeszcze warto dokupić do MacBook Neo 13

Glass is not everything. When purchasing the MacBook Neo 13, remember two things that Apple does not include in the package in Europe: charger and cable. The laptop charges via USB-C with a power of 20 W, so any good USB-C charger and USB-C cable will work.

For a complete set, it’s worth considering:

• Case or cover — protects the aluminum lid from scratches and dents. You can find them in the same accessories category for MacBook Neo 13, next to glasses and films.
• Bag or backpack — tailored for the 13-inch diagonal bags and laptop sleeves will protect the equipment during transport.
• USB-C power bank — power bank with a USB-C output of 20 W or higher will charge the MacBook Neo on the go.

Tip: If you already have a USB-C charger from your phone (20 W or more), you can charge the MacBook Neo with it without buying a new one. It’s worth investing in a good cable and case, as they often determine the comfort of daily use.

How to apply glass or film on MacBook Neo 13 step by step

Summary

The screen protection for MacBook Neo 13 starts at 79 PLN. That’s less than 3% of the laptop’s price and definitely less than repairing a scratched display. Regardless of your budget, you will find a suitable product from one of three brands: Spigen, 3MK, and GrizzGlass.

Key takeaways:

• Best tempered glass: Spigen Glas.tR Slim FC (115 PLN), 9H, full coverage, oleophobic coating.
• Best price-to-protection ratio: 3MK FlexibleGlass (79 PLN), hybrid, antibacterial, does not crack.
• Best privacy: Spigen Safe View (126.65 PLN), magnetically removable film.

Before choosing accessories, it’s worth knowing the device itself — read the full specifications and prices of MacBook Neo. You can compare a set of glasses and films for this model in one place at Home Screen’s offer.

FAQ — frequently asked questions

Is it worth putting glass on the MacBook Neo 13 since the screen is not touch-sensitive?
Yes, if you want to avoid scratches from the keyboard when closing the lid and fingerprints. Glass or film protects the glossy Liquid Retina panel, which costs significantly more to repair than the cover priced at 79–115 PLN.

Tempered glass or film — which is better for the MacBook Neo 13?
Tempered glass (e.g., Spigen Glas.tR Slim FC, 9H) provides the best protection against scratches and maintains a glossy image. The film is thinner and allows for a matte or privacy effect but slightly reduces brightness. For regular protection, choose glass.

How does a privacy film work on the MacBook Neo 13?
The darkening filter narrows the viewing angle, so people sitting next to you see a dark screen while you read without any problems straight ahead. The Spigen Safe View is magnetically mounted, so you can put it on only while working in public places.

How much does glass or film cost for the MacBook Neo 13?
Prices start at 79 PLN for the hybrid 3MK FlexibleGlass. The Spigen tempered glass costs 115 PLN, while privacy and matte films range from 99.99 to 129.99 PLN. All products are available at the Home Screen store.

Does a matte film degrade image quality on the MacBook Neo 13?
A matte film, e.g., 3MK PaperFeeling, reduces glare and fingerprints but at the cost of a slight loss of sharpness and color saturation. For writing and reading, this is an advantage; for color work (graphics, photography), clear glass would be better.

Is it difficult to install glass on the MacBook Neo 13?
The large screen requires attention, but products with the «Easy» (GrizzGlass) label and the Fit-In™ system (3MK) include positioning frames and cloths that make it easier to apply evenly without bubbles. Hybrid glass forgives more mistakes than rigid 9H.

Wideo pozostaje wizytówką Apple — 4K Dolby Vision, ProRes Log, Cinematic Mode i Spatial Video dla Apple Vision Pro. Nowa kamera przednia 18 MP z kwadratowym sensorem Centre Stage pozwala obracać orientację zdjęcia bez obracania telefonu. Fizyczny przycisk Camera Control zamienia iPhone’a w intuicyjny aparat.

4. Xiaomi 17 Ultra — 1-calowy sensor i mechaniczny zoom Leica

Xiaomi 17 Ultra to smartfon stworzony z myślą o fotografii — 1-calowy sensor główny Light Fusion 1050L i mechaniczny zoom optyczny z certyfikacją Leica APO sprawiają, że granica między smartfonem a aparatem bezlusterkowym zaciera się bardziej niż kiedykolwiek.

System aparatów

Obiektyw	Rozdzielczość	Sensor	Przysłona	Ogniskowa
Główny	50 MP	Light Fusion 1050L (1″)	f/1.67	23 mm
Ultraszeroki	50 MP	—	f/2.2	14 mm
Teleobiektyw (mechaniczny zoom)	200 MP	1/1.4″	—	75–100 mm (4,3x)
Przedni	32 MP	—	f/2.0	—

Co wyróżnia Xiaomi 17 Ultra?

Xiaomi 17 Ultra ma 1-calowy sensor w aparacie głównym — to jeden z największych sensorów wśród smartfonów w 2026 roku; większe 1/1.12″ mają tylko vivo X300 Ultra i Oppo Find X9 Ultra. Sensor Light Fusion 1050L z technologią LOFIC HDR oferuje pełną pojemność studni (full well capacity) 6,3 razy większą niż w poprzedniku Xiaomi 15 Ultra. W praktyce oznacza to fenomenalny zakres dynamiczny — detale zarówno w jasnych, jak i ciemnych partiach zdjęcia.

Teleobiektyw 200 MP z sensorem 1/1.4″ to rewolucja — mechaniczny system optycznego zoomu z trzema grupami soczewek zmienia ogniskową od 75 do 100 mm. Leica APO eliminuje aberracje chromatyczne, a zoom optycznej jakości sięga ekwiwalentu 400 mm. Specjalna edycja Leica Leitzphone dodaje fizyczny pierścień zoomu na obudowie.

Wideo i funkcje specjalne

Nagrywanie 8K przy 24 kl/s, 4K przy 120 kl/s Dolby Vision, tryb Movie z pełną kontrolą manualną i wsparciem 10-bit Log. Xiaomi 17 Ultra to poważne narzędzie dla twórców wideo.

Porada: Xiaomi 17 Ultra z modułem aparatu Leica wymaga solidnej ochrony — sprawdź etui do Xiaomi 17 Ultra w Home Screen.

Mocne i słabe strony

Mocne strony: 1-calowy sensor główny, mechaniczny zoom optyczny, 200 MP teleobiektyw, optyka Leica APO, 6 500 mAh bateria.

Słabe strony: Brak wersji z extenderem (jak vivo), 32 MP kamera selfie słabsza niż Pixel 10 Pro, cena od 6 499 zł.

6. Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra — king of zoom and versatility

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (157 points DxOMark) is the best phone for photography in 2026 for those who value versatility. The quadruple camera system covers every photographic scenario — from ultra-wide landscapes to details of distant objects thanks to 100x Space Zoom.

Camera system

Lens	Resolution	Sensor	Aperture	Focal Length
Main	200 MP	Samsung ISOCELL HP2 (1/1.3″)	f/1.4	23 mm
Ultra-wide	50 MP	Samsung ISOCELL JN3 (1/2.5″)	f/1.9	120° FoV
Telephoto 3x	10 MP	Sony IMX754 (1/3.94″)	f/2.4	67 mm
Telephoto 5x (periscope)	50 MP	Sony IMX854 (1/2.52″)	f/2.9	111 mm
Front	12 MP	—	f/2.2	26 mm

Why is it still in the TOP 6?

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra inherits the proven quadruple zoom system from the S25 Ultra, but introduces key optical improvements — aperture f/1.4 in the main lens (47% brighter than f/1.7 in its predecessor) and f/2.9 in the periscope (37% brighter than f/3.4). Four optical focal lengths (23, 67, 111 mm + ultra-wide) still represent the widest zoom range among smartphones — no competitor offers this.

Video on this smartphone is in a separate league — recording 8K at 30 fps on three lenses, Galaxy Log mode, and new 60 W charging. DxOMark points out issues with exposure and AF in low light, but in everyday use, the Galaxy S26 Ultra remains an incredibly versatile tool.

Advice: Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is a premium flagship — it’s worth securing it with a solid case for Galaxy S26 Ultra that will protect the titanium frame and glass back.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths: The widest zoom range (4 focal lengths), brighter aperture f/1.4, 8K recording, 60 W charging, Galaxy Log mode.

Weaknesses: DxOMark 157 points (lowest in the ranking), 3x telephoto only 10 MP, unstable exposure according to DxOMark, high price starting from 6,499 PLN.

Best Phone for Photos 2026 — Which to Choose?

The choice of the best phone for photos in 2026 depends on your photography style and budget.

For maximum photo quality: vivo X300 Ultra — DxOMark leader (170 pts) with a record 1/1.12″ sensor and 17x optical zoom with ZEISS extender. The best choice if you take mobile photography really seriously.

For zoom and Hasselblad fans: Oppo Find X9 Ultra — dual telephoto lens with a true 10x optical zoom (230 mm) and 1/1.12″ sensor, priced lower than vivo (7,399 PLN).

For versatile photographers: Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra — covers every scenario from ultra-wide to 100x zoom. A brighter f/1.4 aperture is a clear improvement over its predecessor.

For photography enthusiasts: Xiaomi 17 Ultra — 1-inch sensor and mechanical Leica zoom offer image quality unavailable on any other smartphone at this price.

For filmmakers and video creators: iPhone 17 Pro Max — ProRes Log, 8x zoom 48 MP, and Spatial Video are professional tools in a smartphone.

For those who value simplicity and value: Google Pixel 10 Pro — Google’s artificial intelligence with 100x Pro Res Zoom will do most of the work for you, and the price starting at ~3,450 PLN is unbeatable.

Our verdict: vivo X300 Ultra is the best phone for photos in 2026 according to DxOMark (170 pts) — the record 1/1.12″ sensor and ZEISS optics give it the crown. Right behind it is the Oppo Find X9 Ultra with a dual 200 MP camera and true 10x Hasselblad zoom, as well as the iPhone 17 Pro Max (168 pts) — the best for video. For those looking for the best value for money, the Google Pixel 10 Pro (163 pts, starting at ~3,450 PLN) remains unmatched.

Flagships with large sensors consume more energy while photographing — check out network chargers with USB-C PD to quickly charge your phone after a full day of shooting. For a longer outdoor session, it’s worth taking a power bank — especially since recording in 4K and 8K can drain even a 7,000 mAh battery in a few hours.
