The Galaxy S26 Ultra Purple is the S26 Ultra in Samsung’s Cobalt Violet finish, paired with 512GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. Cobalt Violet is a deep purple that looks richer in daylight and darker indoors, and it is the colour Samsung uses in much of its launch material for this phone. If the camera is the reason you are buying, this 512GB version gives the 200MP main camera and 8K video room to work, on a phone you will not need to clear every month.

Cobalt Violet, and who picks it
Cobalt Violet suits buyers who want their phone to have some personality without moving to a bright, playful colour. The purple reads as dark and serious in a meeting room, then shows its violet tone outdoors or under warm light. It works with black, grey and navy clothing, and a clear case keeps the colour visible. As a darker finish, the Galaxy S26 Ultra Purple shows fingerprints and smudges on the glass back more readily than White or Sky Blue, so a quick wipe with a microfibre cloth, or a matte clear case, keeps it looking clean.
Why 512GB on a camera-first phone
A 200MP photo and an 8K clip take far more space than ordinary phone files, and there is no memory card slot to add more later. Samsung states that about 479.2GB of the 512GB is available to the user once the system is installed. That is the practical difference from the 256GB model: you can keep months of high-resolution photos, long 4K and 8K recordings and offline maps on the Galaxy S26 Ultra Purple before you have to move files to a computer or cloud storage.
Four rear cameras on the Galaxy S26 Ultra Purple
The main camera is 200MP with an F1.4 aperture, joined by a 50MP ultra-wide (F1.9), a 50MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom (F2.9) and a 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom (F2.4). Samsung quotes optical-quality zoom at 2x and 10x, and digital zoom up to 100x, where detail falls away towards the limit. Video goes up to 8K at 30fps, and slow motion reaches 240fps in FHD. The 12MP front camera (F2.2) has autofocus, which helps when you film yourself for a vlog or a video call.
Editing on the phone with the S Pen
The S Pen docks inside the body, so marking up a photo, cropping a frame or writing a caption by hand does not need extra accessories. On the Galaxy S26 Ultra Purple, edits stay smooth thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, an octa-core chip running at up to 4.74 GHz, with 12GB of RAM. The 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display runs at QHD+ (3120 × 1440) with up to 120 Hz refresh and 2,600 nits peak brightness, and its anti-reflective layer helps when you check footage outside in bright sun.
A long shooting day: battery and file transfer
The battery is rated at 5,000mAh (typical value), and Samsung quotes up to 31 hours of video playback; recording 8K or using the camera for hours will drain it faster. The Galaxy S26 Ultra Purple supports Super Fast Charging 3.0 at up to 60W wired, but no charger comes in the box, so you need a compatible 60W charger for that speed. For moving large files, the USB-C port is USB 3.2 Gen 1, and Wi-Fi 7 helps with big cloud uploads.
The rest, in brief
Privacy Display hides the screen from side angles when you switch it on, for the whole screen, chosen apps, notifications or PIN entry. The Galaxy S26 Ultra Purple is rated IP68, weighs 214 g and measures 163.6 × 78.1 × 7.9 mm, with an Armor Aluminum frame, Gorilla Armor 2 on the front and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the back. It runs Android with One UI 8.5, and Samsung lists security updates until 28 February 2033.
Who This Is Not For
The Galaxy S26 Ultra Purple is not for anyone who keeps everything in the cloud and rarely shoots video: the 256GB model has the same cameras, chip and RAM for less money. It is a large phone (6.9 inches, 214 g) and awkward one-handed. There is no memory card slot and no 3.5 mm headphone jack, and no charger is in the box. If you want a colour that hides fingerprints, White or Sky Blue are easier to keep clean than this darker purple.
