Ultra Phones RANKED | Best Ultra Smartphones For 2026

Ranking the 'Ultra' smartphones in 2026, including the best all-round flagship phone for camera performance, gaming smarts, battery life and beyond. I've reviewed a fistful of 'Ultra' Androids this year (including the Samsung S26 Ultra, OPPO Find X9 Ultra and Xiaomi 17 Ultra) and here's my favourites so far! Of course, you may have your own ranking, so let us know which of these mobiles you'd place first. In this line-up you'll find smartphones from Samsung, Vivo, OPPO, Poco, Xiaomi and Motorola. These aren't absolutely all of the Ultra-branded blowers in 2026 but they're the best I've tested in recent times. In a couple of cases, I would say check out a previous generation model to save some cash, if you find a decent deal. This includes the Motorola RAZR 70 Ultra, which is one of the best flip-style foldable phones but not enough of an upgrade to justify the price hike. So, which of these mobiles offers the best camera experience? The Xiaomi 17 Ultra, Vivo X300 Ultra, Samsung S26 Ultra and OPPO Find X9 Ultra are all heralded as proper good camera phones. But here's my honest real-life opinion. Likewise, I've considered battery life, performance and features, plus software support.
