Samsung plans to expand the Galaxy S26 Ultra's screen size to 6.89 inches, surpassing the S25 Ultra's 6.86-inch display. The company will maintain the device's 77.6mm width while reducing bezel thickness from 1.2mm to 1.15mm. This approach allows for a larger viewing area without increasing the phone's overall dimensions. The trimmed bezels will give the flagship model a more contemporary appearance. Ice Universe leaked these specifications through recent reports.
The S26 Ultra will feature Color Filter on Encapsulation OLED technology, previously used in Galaxy Z Fold devices. This display removes the polarizer and incorporates a color filter with a single display layer. The technology enhances screen contrast while reducing power consumption. Users will benefit from improved brightness and a lighter overall device weight. The advanced panel represents a significant upgrade over traditional display methods.
The larger screen enhances viewing experiences but creates ergonomic challenges for single-handed operation. Samsung's efforts to reduce weight and thickness may offset these usability concerns.
