Screen quality downgrade
on October 20, 2026
Posted by: SamDisplay
Mostly good except the screen is a clear downgrade from my s22 ultra. Same resolution but the s26 ultra looks grainy. Even at max resolution texts still lacks clarity. I believe this is due to the privacy display feature even though it is turned off. I would rather not have that feature at all (I will never use it) vs the current screen quality. Kinda of ridiculous that a phone this expensive would go backwards in screen tech. I've had samsung for years but if they don't fix this I might have to start researching other options. Turns out I use the screen on phones a lot, maybe make sure that part is top notch. The reason I pick the ultra over other in the series is because of the larger screen size and resolution so it's quite disappointing coming from my s22 ultra.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great camera device
on October 20, 2026
Posted by: Jinlove2
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded to S26 Ultra for my wife from her S23 Ultra and she loves it! The privacy screen mode is what she loves the most. Camera is slightly better especially during low light. I would thinking about waiting for S27 Ultra but since memory prices are getting higher and I know the S27 Ultra will be extremely expensive even after trade in so I pull the trigger on the S26 Ultra.

Best phone I have ever used
on October 20, 2026
Posted by: kjmncspkn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I suspect the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the phone I chose for review, is the most premium, to tier phone I have ever used, and that statement suits me fine.
The display is glamorous, the dimensions-perfect, and the material science that goes into the engineering is well planned and executed. Esthetically, it hits the mark as well.
If you have never had the pleasure of owning this phone, and are wanting something that can do anything a smart is currently capable of, I would consider this device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this device for its design, flawless finish, sky-blue color, cutting-edge style, and, above all, its operating system. I recommend it for its artificial intelligence, cameras, sound quality, and long-lasting battery. It is highly versatile, which makes it even more compelling.
