Best phone to date
on June 20, 2026
Posted by: MWeezy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, the S26 Ultra has been the best phone I've ever had. It is easy to operate, and the sleek design contributes to the overall functionality. Using the Galaxy AI as a voice assistant allows me to set reminders, alarms and perform other necessary tasks. To me, the S26 Ultra scores a perfect 100 out of 100!

Terrrible battery life, and camera bump is huge
on June 20, 2026
Posted by: Sledge Hammer
This phone has the absolute WORST battery life of any phone I can remember since before I had the S10+ (and honestly, I don't think any of the ones I had before that had a worse battery but I don't really remember that far back) I've had it since it first launched (had a pre-order) so I know it's not because the system hasn't settled down. And it's not due to an update because it's been terrible since the beginning.
The other thing I hate is the giant camera bump. On my last phone (an S23U), the bump was much smaller, and was flush with the case I had on. This one wont lay flat with most cases which is annoying, but the real problem is it doesn't sit right on a lot of the flat wireless chargers, and doesn't keep charging. And because the camera "stack" extends down so far, it also means that if you have a magnetic case, the only chargers or other accessories, like a wireless magnetic power bank don't fit if they extend outside the ring of magnets.
I truly regret "upgrading" to this phone.
The privacy display is handy in some public situations though.

Next-level experience and fits my life perfectly.
on June 20, 2026
Posted by: Dgmike
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using my new device heavily for both professional tasks and daily entertainment, and it has completely streamlined my workflow. The build quality feels premium, and the display is incredibly sharp, making it perfect for streaming media and managing multitasking on the go.
What really sets this generation apart is Galaxy AI. The productivity features and smart optimizations make daily communication and organization seamless. Battery life easily carries me through long workdays without needing a top-off. It’s an incredibly reliable tool that perfectly complements a busy lifestyle.

LOVE EVERYTHING except...
on June 20, 2026
Posted by: Rivmomm
I absolutely LOVE my Samsung 26ultra, but HATE that you can no longer use your stylus as a remote for your camera! I take so many pictures, and now i miss so many because of this update.
I don't get it, why would Samsung go backwards from the service they already had???
