Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra emerges as the 2026 flagship engineered to intensify multitasking, featuring a larger display, faster internals, and deeper Android customization to make multi‑app workflows feel intentional and efficient.

Good Lock and DeX enhancements push multitasking further with desktop-style workflows, including MultiStar gesture remapping and Comet workflows for chained actions, plus DeX support for up to three virtual screens with independent audio and calls, and Labs features like One Hand Operations Plus and S Pen Smart Select.

The device is framed for everyday power users who want a phone that can replace several devices through integrated multitasking, S Pen tools, and automation, with emphasis on performance, efficiency, and long-term software support.

Edge Panels and Routines automate workflows and provide quick access to tools, triggering split-screen layouts based on networks or locations, while voice commands and automation cut setup time for common app combinations.

Floating windows now support up to five concurrent apps, with corner dragging, two‑finger minimization, pinning, S Pen Air Actions for note-taking over media, separate audio controls, and Edge Panels for fast access.

Split-screen multitasking is refined with intuitive gestures: a two‑finger swipe up to start split-screen in portrait, side swipes for horizontal pairing in landscape, a resizable 30/70 or 50/50 divider, a three-dot menu for quick swaps or saved pairs, and One‑Hand operation gestures.
