Big improvement over the S24 ULTRA
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: Bagsybags
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just upgraded to the Galaxy S26 Ultra from the S24 Ultra and the difference is incredible. The photos are crisp, and the concert video audio handled the loud music perfectly without any distortion.
I'm loving the new Galaxy AI features; I’ve already made a custom coyote background for my home screen. Between the lightweight design and the responsive touch, this phone is a massive improvement to my daily routine.

Software is Garbage
on March 26, 2026
Posted by: Psycho Crankbaits
I have Had most of the S modela and this phone sucks I can't believe I traded my ultra 24. It processes so slow. My apps glitch is cant even install Facebook messenger I've done every recommendation. The AI cant even remember a convos from 2 mins ago. It constantly gives wrong answers or messes up simple task . The AI on my 24 ultra was amazing it helped so much with my job now I spend 45 min trying to convert something to a PDF. I want my old phone back
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The outstanding Galaxy AI makes photos fantastic.
on March 28, 2026
Posted by: Vanderlei
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After several years I've returned to a galaxy phone.
The hardware still excellent, superior than any other, and now with galaxy AI the software makes any task easier.
Features like privacy display enhance the security of using bank and others critical applications.
The camera is superior than any other phone and makes professional photos under all circumstances.
I'm really happy for returning to be part of the galaxy family again.

Great Phone, Annoying Bixby
on April 4, 2026
Posted by: Codysseus9
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra is honestly a really solid phone. It feels premium, runs fast, and the screen looks amazing. The camera is great, battery life has been good for me, and overall I actually like using it a lot.
My only real complaint is Bixby. It still feels unnecessary and kind of gets in the way sometimes. The phone itself is great, but Bixby sucks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the s23 ultra to the new s26 Ultra. It seems like everything has been streamlined and functions extremely well with new AI Integrations. This is very much a phone of the future.

My Samsung Ultra 26
on April 6, 2026
Posted by: 12345677890
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I traded my Ultra 24 in on a 26. Its been very disappointing. First every time I try and open a app its like my first time regardless of how many times I allow permissions. The problem is because when I used my wallet it always opened everytime I open my phone. 2 the Stylus isn't bluetooth,. 3rd the Version of Gemini is almost useless unless you want to make pics. I even subscribed it fails even if I upload documents it repeated downloads something from the internet even if I command for it not to. If I change screens it cant remember a previous conversation and I use my phone for work. My Gemini On my ultra 24 remembered my dogs name and breed. I am truly regretting i traded my ultra 24 for something thats less useful and it seems to struggle processing at times. I have a Samsung TV, Surrounded Sound this is My 5th Galaxy but it will be my last
