Samung Galaxy S26 Ultra repairability is “brutal.”

iFixit praised the device’s built-in privacy display, but said it made for “one of the ugliest screen repair paths in a flagship phone,” giving it a provisional repairability score of 5 out of 10.

“Parts of this phone suggest Samsung understands what repair-friendly hardware looks like,” says iFixit. “The company just keeps stopping short of fully committing to it.”
