Why the S26 Ultra is (almost) the Perfect Phone...
on June 15, 2026
Posted by: ProtoSketch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is a brand new experience for me. I upgraded from a lesser phone with lackluster AI features. Now, I not only have Gemini, but my daily and online social life is made easier by Galaxy AI. and how packed this thing is! I'm not going to focus on the Privacy Display, which is a frontrunner for the phone, but I will be focusing on the S Pen. It's so useful to me; most forget that it even exists, but I love using it. As an artist, I prefer to have a stylus on the go, and this delivered. Sure, it's not as hi-tech as the S24 Ultra's S Pen, but it's an amazing bonus tool. It's nice to have, but not essential.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not much changes in the hardware, but the AI features make the biggest difference. As a power user, I appreciate the AI integrated throughout the phone experience rather than isolated in a chatbot app. My main reason for upgrading from my S25 Ultra was the AI improvements.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While I've not yet experimented with Galaxy AI very extensively, it does some interesting things for photos, such as automatically extracting an object to make a "sticker", or erasing unwanted artifacts. Of course, the camera features are amazing!
Ergonomically, a good case is a necessity as it is very slippery and the protruding cameras prevent it from laying flat on a surface. That's really the only negative for me.
The processor and RAM make for amazing speed for any usage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the S25 Ultra for 1 year, that phone was great. I wasnt expecting much from this 1 year newer upgrade EXCEPT.. this phone actually feels smarter. The battery life is slightly better, OS is more responsive. It's zippy and it's incredibly customizable and organizable. The camera while specs don't show improvement, the photos come out crisper, more vibrant from the S25 ultra as there is far better stabilization; and if the photo doesn't turn out perfect at first try... its very easily editable. 😉 The Galaxy AI features are actually usable, intuitive, and exciting to use. I wasnt expecting much from this upgrade but I'm humbled by just how much better this model IS. If you are coming from anything earlier than the S25.... don't walk, run. And if you are coming from the S25.. think on it overnight 'maybe' ...you won't regret the leap! 😎
Side note: the galaxy buds pro4 are actually also WAY better than the buds pro3. Better sound, better response, far more comfortable fit.
Nice job stepping it up Samsung!! 🙌

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using my Samsung device for everything lately from streaming movies and catching live sports to staying on top of work. The battery life holds up incredibly well through it all. What really stands out to me now is Galaxy AI. It makes everyday tasks much quicker and smoother, especially when I'm multitasking or organizing a busy schedule. It’s easily the most reliable and capable device I've owned.
