The itel S26 Ultra brings a 3D-curved AMOLED display with peak brightness of up to 4,500 nits to the Rp2 million price range. Its 6.78-inch panel also supports 1.5K resolution and a 144 Hz refresh rate.
That display specification is the phone’s clearest point of distinction, particularly in an affordable segment. itel has introduced the device, also referred to as the Super 26 Ultra, through its official Indonesian page.
Display built for brighter conditions
The 4,500-nit peak brightness is intended to keep the screen readable under direct sunlight. The panel also includes XDR, or Extreme Dynamic Range, and Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection.
Its curved construction is paired with a thin 6.8 mm body, creating a design direction commonly associated with higher-priced devices. The phone additionally carries an IP65 rating for resistance to dust and water splashes.
| Component | Specification | Additional detail |
|---|---|---|
| Display | 6.78-inch 3D-curved AMOLED | 1.5K, 144 Hz, up to 4,500 nits |
| Chipset | Unisoc T7300 | 6 nm process, Mali-G57 MP2 GPU |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM, 256 GB storage | Up to 16 GB virtual RAM, UFS 2.2 |
| Battery | 6,000 mAh | 18W charging through USB Type-C |
Large battery in a slim frame
Despite the 6.8 mm profile, the itel S26 Ultra is equipped with a 6,000 mAh battery. Charging is handled at up to 18W through a USB Type-C port.
The combination of a large battery and slim chassis is central to the phone’s appeal in its price category. It also gives the device a specification mix that places display quality and endurance ahead of basic entry-level positioning.
Mid-range hardware for daily tasks
The phone uses the Unisoc T7300, an octa-core chipset manufactured on a 6 nm process. It combines two Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.2 GHz with six Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz.
Graphics processing is provided by a Mali-G57 MP2 GPU. The handset has 8 GB of physical RAM, expandable through virtual RAM to as much as 16 GB, alongside 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage.
According to techno.viva.co.id, initial testing found the configuration capable of handling social media use and multitasking without significant issues. PUBG Mobile and Mobile Legends were reported to run at around 40–60 FPS on medium graphics settings.
The performance is not intended to match phones using flagship chipsets. However, itel includes Engine Game 2.0 to help maintain responsive gaming within the device’s target category.
50 MP camera and 2K recording
The rear camera system is led by a 50 MP main sensor with an f/1.6 aperture and autofocus. A macro lens accompanies the main camera, while the front houses a 32 MP selfie camera.
Both front and rear cameras support video recording at up to 2K resolution and 30 fps. This gives the phone a higher-resolution recording option beyond basic everyday documentation.
The itel S26 Ultra runs Android 15 with itel OS 15 out of the box. Its display, 256 GB storage capacity, and large battery form the core package for buyers seeking a more premium-looking affordable handset.
