With this achievement, the Galaxy S26 Ultra has now taken the top spot in the Consumer Reports smartphone evaluation for three consecutive years, following the Galaxy S24 Ultra and Galaxy S25 Ultra.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra achieved a total score of 88 points, securing the sole first place based on comprehensive evaluations across performance, reliability, and user satisfaction. In particular, it received a perfect score in 7 out of 10 performance evaluation categories by Consumer Reports, including display, rear camera image quality, battery, durability, and ease of use.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S24 Ultra both scored 87 points, tying for second place.

Consumer Reports explained that the Galaxy S26 Ultra received a perfect score in the battery category because, despite its large 6.9-inch display, it recorded the longest battery life among all test devices, lasting 51 hours and 30 minutes. Among the top 30 smartphones evaluated, the Galaxy S26 Ultra was the only model to receive a perfect score for battery performance.

Apple's iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Pro Max tied for fourth place with the Galaxy S25 Plus, each scoring 86 points.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy S26 Ultra was also named the best smartphone by leading consumer magazines in several major European countries, including 'Which?' in the UK, 'Que Choisir' in France, 'Altroconsumo' in Italy, 'OCU' in Spain, 'DECO Proteste' in Portugal, 'Test-Aankoop' in Belgium, and 'Råd & Rön' in Sweden.

In particular, in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Belgium, the Galaxy S26 Ultra was awarded the 'Best of Test' award, which is given to the highest-rated product by experts at each consumer magazine.
