great cameras
on October 17, 2026
Posted by: daj1981
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I choose the Samsung s26 ultra because of the camera features. I use the camera alot for social media. the privacy screen is nice and I also enjoy the fast charging upgrade from my s23 ultra. the rounded edges of this phone really make it feel more comfortable in the hand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The reason I chose the samsung s26 ultra was because it used to be my dream phone, then I finally got it, I have been loving it ever since I got it. The camera is my favorite part, I really love taking pictures and the s26 ultra has a lot of different setting for the camera which also make my pictures turn out really nice.

Best phone I've ever owned, hands down
on October 16, 2026
Posted by: Vixarra
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely obsessed with my Galaxy S26 Ultra. I love pretty much every feature on this thing — the customizability is unreal, you can make it feel like *your* phone in a way other phones just don't allow. It's reliable to a fault: everything works, every time, no weird glitches or laggy nonsense.
The battery life is genuinely impressive. It charges fast AND holds that charge for an extra long time — I can go through a heavy day and still have plenty left. The S Pen is one of my favorite things about it, and the camera? The amount of detail and control you get is incredible.
My one tiny gripe: the privacy screen. I wish it were solid black instead of that slightly hazy tint, because it mutes all the gorgeous colors on this display. But honestly, that's the only complaint I have.
Other than that, this phone is absolutely gorgeous and I couldn't be happier with it. Worth every penny.

Great model continuation
on October 16, 2026
Posted by: AndroidFTW
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really tempted to go with a Galaxy Fold model, but ultimately, I chose to stick with the S26 Ultra for the stylus. I use a lot of documents and take a lot of quick notes, and I wasn't ready to give that design feature up.
I have noticed 2 things.
The battery life seems to be much improved. I upgraded from the S22 Ultra, so it could be because my old phone battery was nearing end of life, but the S26 Ultra is handling my entire day without a charge.
The second might have been due to the large data transfer during initial setup, but this thing got HOT.
Otherwise, after a few days of use, great phone with no issues.

Always a Galaxy Girl
on October 16, 2026
Posted by: IowaLoveSamsung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have slowly seen the hype over the competition dwindle...people are starting to see the light and I am here for it.
I love sharing my fun tips, tricks, hacks, etc with my friends and coworkers. I choose to tell all the haters, 'they don't know what they're missing.' The ability to personalize, link to Google, and just overall functionality makes it an easy decision.
I hate to jinx it, but I have never had issues with linking to other apps, Bluetooth, wifi, etc.
I do miss the old days of a simple memory card with a ton of storage...but that's more because I'm old.

The screen view is amazing 👏🏾 🤩

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having upgraded from a S21, this phone allowed me to have one of the smoothest transitions I've experienced in awhile with phone upgrading. The bigger screen was an added bonus.

My Galaxy S26 Ultra: The Note I Thought I'd Lost
on October 16, 2026
Posted by: RidingWithPets
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S Pen is the reason I can't live without this phone. My first Samsung was the Note 5, my last was the Note 20 Ultra — I was hooked from the start. So when I heard they'd discontinued the Note series, I was honestly disappointed, and I didn't think any phone would meet my expectations again.
I chose the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Fortunately, this one surpassed them. fingers are too big for those tiny phone keyboards, and the pen fixes all of that — drawing, editing photos and videos, navigating all of my apps. I love being able to jot down a note or phone number right on the screen, just like paper, instead of typing it out or scribbling on a scrap I'll lose by dinnertime.
The built-in privacy display is brilliant — one toggle blocks side-angle viewing so the people around me can't see my screen. That's real peace of mind for online banking, passwords, private conversations, anything confidential.
The AI features feel like a thoughtful assistant: smart chat suggestions and a one-page daily rundown covering everything from my weather to my workouts. I choose exactly what I see — reminders I asked for, zero advertising.
And Samsung still makes the best cameras, period. The video stabilization is rock-steady, and I use the zoom constantly.
Physically, it's lighter and thinner than I expected, which matters — my phone goes everywhere with me and has to fit in some tight spots.
The Note is back in spirit, and honestly? It's better than ever.
