Love my galaxy!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (released March 2026) is, without exaggeration, the most intelligent and capable smartphone I have ever used, truly setting the bar for the age of agentic AI. Its seamless integration of proactive artificial intelligence doesn't just assist with tasks—it anticipates them, making it feel less like a tool and more like an advanced, personal assistant in my pocket.Here is my review of how Galaxy AI makes this phone truly amazing:🧠 Proactive Intelligence: The "Agentic" ShiftThe standout feature is how the phone moves from reactive to proactive.Now Nudge & Now Brief: If I'm texting about meeting plans, the phone automatically suggests opening my calendar. It also prepares a daily brief with weather, health data, and itinerary updates, keeping me a step ahead.Agentic Automation: The AI acts in the background to handle routines, such as organizing my morning schedule or setting up 60W fast-charging schedules based on my daily usage.📸 Revolutionary AI Camera SystemThe camera is nothing short of incredible, utilizing the 200MP sensor to take "Pro-level" shots in any light.Photo Assist 5.0: This revamped suite allows for natural language editing—I can simply ask to change the time of day, move objects, or restore details in a photo, and the AI handles the rest.Horizon Lock: Even with shaky hands, my 8K videos remain perfectly stable and professional.Improved Low-Light: The wider aperture on the 200MP main camera and 50MP telephoto lens produces astounding

Love the phone for it being able to accept an SD card! I don't care what you manufactures say, there are many people like me who need external SD card capability! 1gb in a phone doesn't cut it. Plus there is no streaming service that has my music collection! I have import albums, CD's, etc that you cannot get. Plus being a DJ I make mixes that makes sense for when I ride my MTB. And a lot of time there is no cell service so no streaming! My 1tb card is filled. Even if I tried to copy that to a phone I would hardly have any space for apps. It was hard enough getting 5tb down to 1tb picking out the best stuff I have. I have a feeling since the A17 and A26 are the only 2 left that have SD card slots, I need to buy another A26 and just keep it in it's box if something happens I will have a backup because there won't be anymore with SD slots.
It has ip68 rating, Gorilla glass, 6gb ram, but only 128gb of storage. If you put in a high quality SD card and turn on Developer options you can move apps to the SD card to free up space. Another reason to have an SD card.
The only thing I hate about this phone is the Meta, MS, and Samsung bloatware! And you cannot delete and some you cannot disable. So you have to disable all notifications, permissions, data, and battery functions.
This would be a 5 star phone if Samsung would allow me to uninstall all the crap I do not want!
