Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, S26 Ultra, A37 and A57 — the best phone case is made in the Nordics
Samsung has laid its cards on the table again: the new Galaxy S26 series and the latest A-series models, A37 and A57, are now on sale. These phones are genuinely good — read why, and why they deserve a phone case made by someone who does it better than anyone else.
Does MagSafe work with the Samsung Galaxy S26?
With a Lastu phone case, yes. Lastu can add a MagSafe magnetic ring to every Samsung Galaxy phone case, compatible with all MagSafe accessories on the market — charging pads, car mounts, wallets, and grips. The Galaxy S26 Ultra snaps onto a charging pad, and the A37 stays on a car mount without a separate attachment. Works like it does on an iPhone, no matter the phone.
When Samsung went all in — and nailed it
The Galaxy S26 series is Samsung’s most ambitious annual lineup in a long time. All three models — S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra — run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600, a generational leap over their predecessors. The displays are Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X panels with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 2,600 nits peak brightness — text stays readable even in sunny weather.
All three models got their own fast-charging speeds: the S26 charges at 25 W, the S26 Plus at 45 W, and the S26 Ultra at a full 60 W — the highest figure Samsung has ever put in a Galaxy phone. In practice, the S26 Ultra is full in the morning before your coffee is ready.
Galaxy S26 Ultra — AI, privacy, and 200 megapixels
The S26 Ultra is in a league of its own. Its 6.9-inch display is the first phone to feature Privacy Display technology: hardware-level protection limits screen visibility from side angles, so your messages stay for your eyes only. The display is also flat — the curved edges were dropped in favor of usability.
The cameras are top of their class, the S Pen is still here, and Galaxy AI handles photo editing, translations, and notes.
- Display: 6.9" Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X, 120 Hz, 2,600 nits, Privacy Display
- Processor: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
- Cameras: 200 MP main camera (f/1.4) + 50 MP ultra-wide + 10 MP 3× telephoto + 50 MP periscope with 5× zoom
- Fast charging: 60 W wired
- Special features: S Pen, Galaxy AI
Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus — a balanced pair of powerhouses
If 6.9 inches feels big, the Galaxy S26 offers a compact 6.3-inch body without compromising performance. The S26 Plus lands at 6.7 inches — practical for your pocket, roomy for movies and work.
Both have a 50 MP main camera, 12 MP ultra-wide, 10 MP 3× telephoto and 12 MP front camera. Galaxy AI brings automatic image editing, real-time call translation and Circle to Search. In the Nordics, the S26 and S26 Plus run on the Exynos 2600, whose power management has clearly improved from the previous generation.
Galaxy A37 and A57 — more than worth their price
Samsung’s A series has always been the sensible choice: modern features without the flagship price tag. But the 2026 newcomers, Galaxy A37 and A57, are more than “good enough” — they’re genuinely good phones.
Both have a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with 120 Hz and 1,900 nits of brightness. The IP68 rating withstands submersion to 1.5 meters for half an hour — no panic if your phone gets wet. The 5,000 mAh battery charges at 45 W, and Samsung promises six generations of operating system updates.
A57 also adds a low-noise night mode, smoother zooming between lenses and Shot to Shot for faster shooting. A37 gets Advanced Portrait AI, which clearly improves separation of skin, hair and background in portraits.
Nordic craftsmanship
Lastu — phone cases since 2011
When Lastu started in the Nordics in 2011, the phone case market was dominated by cheap plastic and mass-produced silicone. Lastu’s idea was simple but ambitious: make phone cases from real materials, by hand and with honesty.
With over fifteen years of experience, Lastu is one of Europe’s leading makers of premium phone cases. Every phone case is made to order — no stock products, no standard sizes your phone “almost” fits. Your Galaxy S26 Ultra phone case is made precisely to your phone’s dimensions, in the material you choose, with or without a design.
This is not a marketing line, but a promise backed by Nordic craftsmanship.
The right material — the right feel in your hand
Plastic never felt good in the hand. Lastu makes Samsung Galaxy Case from materials with character — the kind that get better with age.
Wood is Lastu’s original and most popular material — it’s impossible to make two identical wooden phone cases, and wood develops a beautiful patina with use. Camo patterns and M05 are cut from genuine military fabric. Outdoor lovers have their own hiking collection.
The phone case protects — display, camera, corners
The Galaxy S26 Ultra’s display is valuable, and its 200-megapixel camera system is more delicate than ever. The edges of the Lastu phone case rise above both the screen and the camera lenses — so the phone doesn’t rest directly on the lens when you place it on a table.
Wood is also a natural high-grip material: your phone won’t slip from your hand or a surface like a glass-backed phone in a plastic case, and the grip holds even with wet hands. The A57 and A37’s IP68 rating handles water — but a phone case protects against drops, which the certification doesn’t cover. It’s worth adding a LEKA screen protector to the same order.
