YouTuber claims he bought a Galaxy S26 early: Everything revealed

Published

on

Samsung's newest flagship may already be out in the wild.

A tech YouTuber known as Sahil Karoul posted a 15-minute unboxing and hands-on video with what appears to be a genuine Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra device. The video was posted on Monday, just a couple of days before the Galaxy S26 lineup's expected unveiling at Galaxy Unpacked on Wednesday afternoon. It should be noted that there is no definitive proof that the phone in the video is the real deal at this point, but it certainly looks believable.

Karoul claimed to have gotten the device ahead of its release date in a Dubai market. In an Instagram Reel, he shows himself paying cash for the device on the street outside a mobile store.

In the videos, you can see the basic design of the phone, which is pretty similar to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, though with a slightly more prominent rear camera bump. The phone in the video comes with an S-Pen, as Ultra models typically do. Perhaps the biggest reveal here is the first real (we think) look at the new Privacy Display feature in action. It makes the phone's display less visible to anyone looking at it from a side angle. The Privacy Display feature can reportedly be turned on and off in the phone's settings and doesn't require a separate screen protector.

Aside from that, it's hard to tell what else is new about the S26 Ultra from a short video that mostly focuses on comparing the phone to other popular smartphones. Karoul does show off some sample photos taken with the device's camera near the end of the video, but as far as I can tell, there's no sign of the unified AI image editor Samsung is hyping up prior to Galaxy Unpacked tomorrow.

All of this will be moot in a little more than 24 hours. Be patient, folks.

When robot vacuums first rolled into our homes, it was a semi-comical experience. The poor lil' robots often needed some help getting back to the cleaning task when they got stuck under the couch, lost in a closet, or took a fall down the stairs. Thankfully, we no longer have these worries and in addition to vacuuming, these robots can now mop our floors. If could use the help of a robot vacuum and mop, check out this Amazon deal.

As of Feb. 24, the Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X Robot Vacuum and Mop is on sale at Amazon for $649.99, down from the usual price of $1,149.99. That's a 43% discount that works out to a savings of $500. It also matches the lowest we've seen at Amazon.

The Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X brings 18,500Pa suction power to the cleaning party and the roller brush is designed to never tangle with hair. Both of these attributes combined makes is great for pet owners. Roborock also equipped this model with the brand's FlexiArm technology. No, this is not the Roborock model with an arm, but it uses a side brush and edge mopping system to make sure every corner of your home is spotless. It'll be able to tackle corners, go around legs on a chair, and get as close to baseboards as physically possible.

The charging and emptying dock is an all-in-one hub that gives the robot the power to mop with hot water up to 167 degrees with auto tank refilling. There's also the warm air drying when the vacuum comes back to the base after mopping with dirty mop pads.

With the Roborock app, you'll be able to set a cleaning schedule and make no-go zones for the vacuum so it'll avoid objects like the dog's water dish.

If you're no longer interested in a growing list of house chores, grab the Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X Robot Vacuum and Mop while it's on sale at Amazon for under $650. It'll be the perfect way to kickstart spring cleaning this year.

Dreame X50 Ultra robot vacuum with smartphone and smartwatch

The 2026 Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete has only been out for a few weeks, but that was long enough for Dreame to further drop the price on its flagship vacuum from last year. You can now get the 2025 Dreame X50 Ultra in black or white from Amazon or Dreame's website for $899.99. That's new record low compared to its debut price of $1,699.99 or its recent steady sale price of $1,049.99. Technically, you're saving $800 total over someone who bought it upon release last year.

Aside from the name being two words longer, the biggest difference between the Dreame X50 Ultra and Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete is suction power: The X50 Ultra has 20,000 Pa of suction power compared to the X60 Ultra Max Complete's 35,000 Pa (which is the strongest on the market right now). Still, 20,000 Pa is a highly impressive number that would be more than sufficient for pet hair pickup from one or two pets, even on carpet. Plus, the X50 Ultra's $899.99 sale price looks really affordable compared to the X60 Max Ultra Complete's $1,359 sale price.

To put it into perspective, the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow (another CES 2026 new release) has the same 20,000 Pa, but is sitting at its MSRP of $999.99. If you would prefer the dual rotating mopping pad design over the Curv 2 Flow's roller mop, opting for the X50 Ultra gets you the same suction power as a 2026 flagship for $100 less. The spinning mops of the X50 Ultra were great at scrubbing along wall edges and in corners during my testing at home in spring 2025.

Pet parents will also appreciate the X50 Ultra's built-in livestream camera, which you can use to check in on your pet when you're not home.
