S26 Ultra
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Loverboy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] S26 Ultra is a marvel in itself. A powerful device capable of handling multiple tasks, with many AI capabilities included in this latest innovation with a pen 🖊 for the individual to innovate. An upgrade from the S25 Ultra is beautiful device which I recommend. I opted for 512GB because I take a lot of pictures and record videos too. Nightography is a beauty as it brings so much clearer pictures irrespective of the lighting at night. I will gladly buy another one for my wife during the next promotion.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone as my primary camera for travel. The pictures are stunning. The color and deph of field are unmatched. I love the hands free photography using my voice or my pen. The AI allows me to remove anything I want quickly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the rounded corners of the S26 Ultra coming from the S24 Ultra. The performance and display are really good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the design; it feels very light and slim. Its "Galxy AI" features are excellent, but I do miss the SPen's Bluetooth connectivity.

The Ultra is still...Ultra
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: WillorBillorWilliam
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Many reviews are complaining how the Ultra has fallen far from its moniker, I'm here to tell you that's far from the truth.
I had the Note 20, the s23 ultra, then the fold 6. For years the Ultra line of phones has offered an experience that no other phone can offer, and switching to the fold 6 for over a year made that exceedingly obvious. The cameras, and not just the quality but the utility of having 4 spectacular lenses to choose from, there is a camera for every scenario. When you switch to any other phone with 3 lenses or less, you are immediately aware of the limits that the Ultra absolutely smashes through.
"The Ultra has not innovated enough to be worth it"
I can tell you right now, comparing to the s23 ultra... there is lots of innovation. Yes you won't be wanting to upgrade from the 25 or maybe the 24, but that's a positive not a negative. When you buy the Ultra, you are hoping to have a reliable (and exceptional) companion for years to come. No phone manufacturer makes a phone worthy of upgrade from last gen in 2026... It's time to stop pretending like that's a bad thing. The software is smoother and more polished, from the camera app to the smart ai search in the settings. The AI call screening, Gemini and Bixby not only having LLM capabilities but LAM capabilities making them actually useful assistants.
We don't need endless hardware upgrades because what we have is already so amazing and future proof. But the software improvements you will notice every day.

Best Android Phone Out There
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: CoffeeBeans
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For a long time, I've always wanted an Ultra model for its camera as I really love to do photography (nature, food, life, and some portraits). Before I switched to this phone, I was using the S25 (a major camera upgrade coming from being an S21 user). Now that I'm an S26 Ultra user, I had high expectations of this smartphone.
Fortunately, the S26 Ultra came just in time the day before my hike so I decided to have this beast set up for the hike. I was amazed by the photos I took and the video quality. For one of my photos, I used Galaxy AI to remove someone from a photo I really liked.
I really like how snappy the S26 Ultra is at its performance. The screen quality seems to be better than the S25 as well.
Overall, I'm really happy with this smartphone and I'm glad I got the chance to get this phone. Many more great photos are ahead of me, especially in preparation for my trip to Japan!

This is an amazing device
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Th3W0rstGuy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like having an "Ultra" model. The privacy display option has come in handy already - I was using my bank app on a packed NYC subway and feared nothing because no one could see my info from their angle. I'm still loading my other apps but the overall feel is great. It's much lighter of a phone than the previous version - I had a S25 Ultra before; it was great too but this 26 Ultra just feels better.
I also like the AI support for a few apps. I'm learning more about AI as a whole from using this phone more.
