Design and Display
The S26 Ultra has the best display itel has put on a phone at this price – a 6.8-inch 3D curved AMOLED with a 144Hz refresh rate, HDR, 1B colours and a 4500-nit peak brightness. At 1080 x 2436 pixels (about 392 ppi) it is sharp as well as bright, and the panel is covered by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. The 32MP selfie camera sits inside a centred punch-hole at the top of the display.
The phone is just 6.8 mm thick and weighs 168 g. It is IP65 dust and water resistant (low pressure water jets) and drop resistant up to 1.5m, and the fingerprint sensor sits under the display (optical). The phone is sold globally as the “Super 26 Ultra” – the same hardware – and it comes in Silver, Blue, Gold and Silver/Gold. A curved 144Hz AMOLED with 4500 nits is not normal at Rs. 61,999.
Performance
Inside is the Unisoc T7300 (6 nm), an octa-core chip with two 2.2 GHz Cortex-A78 cores and six 2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 cores, paired with the Mali-G57 MP2 GPU. There is 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of UFS storage.
The T7300 is a genuine step up from the T620 and T606 in itel’s cheaper phones – Cortex-A78 cores on a 6 nm process – and it is good for daily use and light gaming, but it is not a flagship chip. Some listings advertise 8GB of physical RAM plus 8GB of extended (virtual) RAM; virtual RAM is not physical RAM, and it does not make the phone faster in the way real RAM does. The card slot is listed as Unspecified – do not assume a microSD slot is included. No update promise is stated for this phone.
Camera
- Main: 50MP, f/1.6 wide, with autofocus.
- Macro: an auxiliary macro lens (its megapixel count is unspecified – MobileDokan and GSMArena both leave it as “XX MP”; several secondary sources say 2MP, but that is unconfirmed).
- Selfie: 32MP front camera.
Both the rear and the front camera record 1440p video at 30fps, as well as 1080p at 30fps. The rear camera also has an LED flash, HDR and panorama. Honestly, this is a single useful 50MP camera – the macro helper adds little – with no ultra-wide, no telephoto and no stabilisation. Daylight snapshots and a genuinely good 32MP selfie camera are the story here. And do not be misled by the renders: the three-ring camera island on the back does not mean three lenses. The spec table says dual camera, and that is what the phone has.
Battery and Charging
The S26 Ultra has a 6000mAh non-removable Li-Po battery – the biggest battery in this itel batch – and it lasts two days of basic use. The catch is the charging: 18W wired only, which is slow for a battery this size, so a full charge takes a long time and there is no faster charging option.
Software
The phone runs Android 15 with itel OS 15 on top. No update promise is stated anywhere, so do not buy it expecting years of Android upgrades.
Price in Pakistan
The Itel S26 Ultra costs Rs. 61,999 in Pakistan for the 8GB + 256GB version – and that is the only version sold here. The 8GB + 128GB version is not yet confirmed for Pakistan; Pakistan gets the 8GB/256GB version only. The phone reached Pakistan on 2 October 2025 through Advance Telecom, which handles distribution here.
A word on the price: MobileDokan’s own price rows convert to Rs. 44,999 (8GB + 128GB) and Rs. 48,999 (8GB + 256GB). The 8GB + 256GB figure matches the October 2025 launch price of Rs. 49,999 almost exactly, but current Pakistan retail for the same variant is Rs. 61,999 (zmobiles, whatmobile, mobileinto, qeemat). Hamariweb and newmobiles still list the stale launch price of Rs. 49,999, and airkart lists Rs. 48,499. The price on this page follows current retail. Airkart lists its unit as “100% PTA Approved” with a 1-year official warranty – the phone is sold PTA-approved by authorised sellers, but confirm the PTA/DIRBS status of the exact IMEI before paying.
8GB + 256GB — Expected: Rs. 61,999
| Model | Itel S26 Ultra |
| Price | PKR. 61,999 (Expected) |
| Display | 6.8″ AMOLED 1080×2436 pixels |
| RAM | 8 GB |
| ROM | 128 GB / 256 GB |
| Released | September 2025 |
Buying in Pakistan
- Check you are getting the 8GB + 256GB version – Pakistan gets this one only; the 8GB + 128GB version is not sold here.
- Confirm the warranty – itel Pakistan / Advance Telecom warranty if you are buying new from an authorised seller.
- Confirm the PTA/DIRBS status of the exact IMEI before paying.
- Check the phone is the S26 Ultra (also sold as the Super 26 Ultra) and not the S25 Ultra – a different phone with a T620 chip, a 5000mAh battery and a 120Hz display. The two look almost identical, and MobileDokan’s own old page mixes them up.
- Test the under-display fingerprint sensor and the touchscreen before paying.
Final Verdict: A curved 144Hz AMOLED and a 6000mAh battery for the price of an ordinary mid-ranger — if you buy the 256GB version
The S26 Ultra is for someone who wants a big, bright, curved display and a two-day battery at a mid-range price, and does not care that the chip is mid-range and the charging is slow. Anyone wanting 5G, a better camera system or faster charging should spend more. The 3.45/5 rating is honest: a very good screen and battery on a mid-range phone, priced like one.
