Amazing overall
on April 5, 2026
Posted by: Cutie8Bunny
from Ashland, Ohio
I absolutely love this phone!! The built in privacy is perfect for public places especially if you take your work with you. Batteryblife is pretty good it lasts a long time which is perfect when you use the camera which is high definition and your photos come out perfect every time I love using it during family gatherings or when I am out taking photos. Overall ther performance on this phone is amazing, long life, smooth transitions, and great overall quality.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Defective 25W charging
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: ArcticMammal
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Ultra model mainly for the 25W wireless charging capability. My testing and those done by other techies showed that wireless charging is far below what Samsung claims . The highest output wattage I have observed was 11W.

Completely disappointed!
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: MEISHA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The galaxy AI was about the same as my s24 ultra.
I TRIED THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S26 ULTRA TO TRADE IN MY S24 ULTRA AND I SENT THE S26 ULTRA BACK! ONE OF THE REASONS WAS GOOGLE MESSAGES WAS THE ONLY OPTION ON THERE, WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT! I CAN SEE ON A GOOGLE PIXEL PHONE, BUT THESE ARE SAMSUNG PHONES! I DOWNLOADED AN APK FOR SAMSUNG MESSAGES, BUT NOW YOU HAVE THIS PERMANENT MESSAGE THAT IT IS GOING AWAY IN JULY! I WANT THAT MESSAGE GONE TOO!
THE NEW GALAXY S26 ULTRA WAS SOOOO DISSAPOINTING! 
- GOOGLE MESSAGES WAS THE ONLY OPTION
- THE S-PEN IS CURVED WITH THE CORNER OF THE PHONE SO YOU HAVE TO LOOK WHICH WAY YOU ARE PUTTING IT BACK IN,  I USE MY SPEN ALL THE TIME AND IF ITS AT NIGHT I DONT WANT TO BE STRUGGLING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH WAY ITS FACING!
- IT OVERHEATED WHEN I WAS SETTING IT UP
- THEY WHEN BACK TO ALUMINUM INSTEAD OF TITANIUM LIKE THE S24 ULTRA HAS!
SO I AM STICKING WITH THE S24 ULTRA, I WANT THE MESSAGE ABOUT SAMSUNG MESSAGES GONE AND I WANT THE OPTION TO KEEP SAMSUNG MESSAGES!

Screen issues
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Whywhy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new privacy feature makes the screen blurry and dim even when the feature is off. This is a terrible compromise for a useless feature.

Horrible battery even worse, grumpy tech support
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Wasadiehardfan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The camera is nice but the battery was defective from the day I got it. I was given the run around by tech for many days and after about 50 phone calls I finally got a resolution from the other team. Tech support was absolutly horrifying. I have officially lost my love for Samsung.

Bluetooth
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: Connect2me
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is a limit to how many Bluetooth devices you could connect to the phone. I wish it could handle more than 3 at once. If you have more than 3 devices connected to the Bluetooth, whichever device you connected last gets knocked off.

Not necessarily an upgrade
on April 3, 2026
Posted by: G Pollet
Should have stayed with my S25 Ultra!
I feel misled over the so calked10bit display.
Privacy screen, not so private.
Samsung has forced their customers to use Google messaging, which sucks, I Hate it!
MAKE SAMSUNG MESSAGES COMPATIBLE!
Went from titanium to aluminum frame.
