For years, laptops have been shrinking.
Thinner.
Lighter.
More portable.
But the real shift isn’t happening in laptops anymore.
It’s happening in phones.
And the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is the clearest sign yet that the laptop era is quietly being disrupted.

This Is Not Just a Powerful Phone
The Galaxy S26 Ultra isn’t trying to impress with specs alone.
It’s trying to change how you work.
With up to 16 GB of RAM, ultra-fast storage, and Qualcomm’s latest flagship chipset, this device delivers performance that rivals — and often exceeds — what many people use on their laptops every day .
Email.
Spreadsheets.
Dashboards.
Documents.
Heavy multitasking.
No slowdown.
No compromises.
For most professionals, this is already more power than they need.
When a Phone Turns Into a Desktop
This is where the shift becomes real.
Samsung DeX.
Plug the S26 Ultra into a monitor.
Add a keyboard and mouse.
Instantly, your phone becomes a desktop computer.
Windowed apps.
Taskbar navigation.
Drag and drop.
True multitasking.
You’re no longer “using a phone on a big screen”.
You’re working on a desktop — powered entirely by your phone.
And it works wirelessly or with a single USB-C cable.
A Display That Replaces Your Laptop Screen
The S26 Ultra features a 6.9-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display.
Sharp.
Bright.
Fluid.
With a 120 Hz refresh rate and peak brightness reaching 2600 nits, this screen is better than many laptop displays on the market.
Reading long documents feels natural.
Editing content feels precise.
Split-screen multitasking feels effortless.
Add S-Pen support, and it becomes:
- A notebook
- A markup tool
- A sketchpad
- A productivity companion
All in one device.
Battery That Matches a Workday
A laptop replacement must survive a full day.
The S26 Ultra does.
Its 5000 mAh battery, paired with 60W fast charging, means:
- A full workday without anxiety
- Quick top-ups when needed
- No dependency on power outlets
It even charges your accessories.
Earbuds.
Smartwatch.
Another phone.
Your phone becomes the power hub.
Always Connected. Everywhere.
The S26 Ultra is built for modern work.
Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7.
Bluetooth 5.4.
USB-C 3.2 with DisplayPort.
5G everywhere.
Whether you’re in an office, hotel, airport, or client site, your workstation is already with you.
No setup.
No sync.
No waiting.
Who Still Needs a Laptop?
Let’s be honest.
Some people still do.
- Developers compiling large projects locally
- Video editors working on multi-stream timelines
- Engineers using specialized desktop software
But for everyone else?
Consultants.
Managers.
Students.
Analysts.
Creators.
Remote professionals.
The laptop is no longer essential.
One Device Instead of Two
The Galaxy S26 Ultra changes the equation.
One device.
One ecosystem.
One workflow.
No laptop bag.
No charger collection.
No switching devices.
Just a phone that adapts to how you work.
This Is the Quiet End of the Laptop Era
The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra doesn’t announce the death of laptops.
It simply makes them optional.
And once you experience that freedom, it’s hard to go back.
This isn’t a phone pretending to be a laptop.
It’s a laptop that fits in your pocket.
