Great phone, but the camera bump drives me nuts
on September 28, 2026
Posted by: DimaSH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid phone overall. The build quality is great and it feels premium in the hand. The zoom is really good. The camera is good too, the possibility of flexible professional camera settings is also very good.
My favorite part is customization. You can set up Android and One UI almost any way you like, which iOS just doesn't let you do. Gemini also works across the whole system, not only in one app, and that is genuinely useful.
The S Pen is handy and makes working with documents easy. The downside is that Samsung removed Bluetooth from it in this version. Also, you have to insert it the right way round. If you put it in the wrong way, it barely sticks out.
Now the annoying stuff. All the cameras are on one side, so the phone wobbles on any flat surface. It rocks every time I put it on a table, and it drives me crazy. Also, there is no magnet on the back like on iPhones and Google Pixels. To use magnetic chargers or a car mount, I had to buy a case with a magnet. At this price, that should not be needed.
Still, I would recommend it if you want a powerful and flexible Android phone. Just add the cost of a magnetic case to your budget.

Galaxy S26 Ultra
on September 28, 2026
Posted by: Mitzigolf2004
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy phones, imo, are top of the line. I have never had any issues with any of my phones and that's saying a lot because I have been buying Samsung Galaxy phones since the very first of the Note series. I was a little skeptical when they did away with the Note and I had to transition to the S series. I chose the 26 Ultra because it's the best of the best. Side note... All of my appliances and gadgets are Samsung as well.

Better than I expected
on September 28, 2026
Posted by: Happy13
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been a long time Samsung supporter. The phones over the years have had their ups and downs, just like any company. I was just expecting an update to what i already had. But let me tell you, absolutely surprised at what I now have. In all categories... speed- not a bump but a hurdle ahead of my old ultra. Display- unbelievable, the colors, clarity and sharpness, makes my whole experience with the S26 ultra phenomenal. Processing- hands down has made my life easier doing business and or just scrolling through websites and watching shows. So happy I made the choice to get this phone.
Highly recommend to do the move and go to this S26 ultra...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The parking spot feature is absolutely amazing. I forget where I park all the time and this feature makes parking a no-brainer. I chose samusng products because every time I upgrade the products just get better. This new phone also makes my Samsung watch function seamlessly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the latest software of the UI 9.0. The camera is incredible but there's honestly more features than I can even completely explore!
