Should you consider this one?

The S26 Ultra is aimed at people who want the S Pen and the longest zoom range Samsung offers — the 5x and 3x telephoto combination is genuinely useful if you photograph things you can't get close to. For most people, the standard Galaxy S26 or S26+ deliver nearly the same everyday experience for meaningfully less money; the Ultra's premium buys camera range, the stylus, and a slightly larger, sharper screen, not a fundamentally different phone.
