Battery and camera upgrades lead the Galaxy S27 Ultra wishlist among readers who answered a PhoneArena poll, ahead of changes to the display. The result describes that site’s participating readers, not a confirmed feature list for Samsung’s next flagship.

In an October 19 report, PhoneArena writer Abdullah Asim said a larger battery with faster charging and a noticeable camera upgrade each received 41.33 percent of votes at the time of writing. Those figures are the author’s reported snapshot, rather than a guarantee that a live poll will retain the same split.

Display improvements attracted smaller shares. Around 9.5 percent wanted a better implementation of Privacy Display that retained higher resolution while active. Fewer than eight percent selected a more usable display. These were separate answers, whereas battery capacity and charging speed appeared together in one option.

That distinction limits the conclusion for Samsung. The combined option cannot tell the company whether its voters cared more about battery capacity or charging speed. Nor does a preference ranking establish how many customers experience a particular display problem, or how severely.

There is a concrete starting point for the battery discussion. Samsung’s published S26 comparison lists a 5,000mAh battery and wired charging up to 60W for the S26 Ultra. A larger battery and a higher maximum charging rate are different changes; the poll groups them together rather than testing each independently.

The existing Galaxy S26 Ultra also already has a 200MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide, a 10MP 3x telephoto and a 50MP 5x telephoto, according to Samsung’s launch specifications. The camera option in the poll does not specify a preferred sensor, zoom range or other particular change.

Samsung introduced Privacy Display on that model to restrict what nearby people can see from side angles. Its launch announcement says users can activate it for selected apps, passwords and notifications. Those are documented features of the S26 Ultra, not evidence of the S27 Ultra’s final screen design.

PhoneArena discusses reports of a larger battery, newer camera sensors and a possible removal of the 3x telephoto camera on the S27 Ultra. These remain reported possibilities in that article. Neither the poll nor the accompanying renders establish what will reach production.

The report does not set out a sampling or weighting methodology that would justify treating its percentages as representative of all Samsung buyers. Its narrower finding is still clear: within this reader poll, the two leading answers concern battery and camera improvements, not a new display feature.
