A Worthy 3-Year Upgrade
on October 8, 2026
Posted by: DogGalaxy55
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra as a timely and substantial upgrade, sticking strictly to my 3-year cycle since previously owning the S23 Ultra. Upgrading every three years rather than every year ensures you actually feel the difference, and the S26 Ultra really feels like a complete change.
The shape was the first difference for me, and it caught me by surprise on how it feels in my hand and how much more natural it feels than the previous phone. Softening up those sharp corners makes a massive difference, so holding it during the day feels way more comfortable.
I really liked how the stylus was retained and allowed me to use notes as before, making quick jottings seamless. However, I was surprised that its functionality to be used as a clicker for taking photos was removed. I used that remote shutter feature all the time, so losing it was the only downgrade that was a bit disappointing.
That said, functionality wise, the phone is exceptional. The processing speed made me think this phone is capable of more, handling heavy apps effortlessly. The battery life was also noticeably longer, which I appreciated very much, easily getting me through full days. Overall, it is a great upgrade.

Best phone ever!!
on October 8, 2026
Posted by: Bigtim719
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Of all the Samsung devices that I have I chose the 26 Ultra to review because I feel it is the best phone that I have owned. Between the camera and AI features it delivers the best performance of any phone that I have owned. Let's not forget to mention the awesome battery. It allows me tu use my phone most times for 16 hours before needing to be charged. If I do need to charge it, about 30 minutes and I am good to go for the rest of the day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the S26 Ultra since I've had the previous Ultra phones before and it works amazingly. The whole Ultra line is great and I would happily stick with the Ultra series moving forward.
