Good phone, but not worth the upgrade.
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: OGSpot
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone mostly for messaging, some entertainment (YouTube, Music, reading news), photography and workout logs. I am not into gaming so I rarely (never) run into situation where I am maxing out the hardware.
The main features tauted for the S25 Ultra are the privacy mode and the camera. I have used the privacy feature a few times where I was in public and didn't want anyone to see what I was reading. But, I could have easily just turned my body to ensure that no one could see. Beyond that, there are few occasions where I *need* to look at personal/private matter in public places.
The camera features seem to be minor updates.
I had the S25 Ultra, and I can say that there is little in the way of improvements to justify the ~$500 cost to upgrade. Now, if I were coming from a 3-5 year old phone, it would be a big leap and worth it.

The last point to mention is "Galaxy AI". The improvements, most of them are nice but unneeded. I mean scaning your chat messages to get a summary of what everyone wants to eat and then recommending a restaurant is nice, but I am not sure how many times that would come in handy. The #GalaxyAl camera features are a bit more useful, but how many times do you need to add your dog into a picture?
I think, since circle to search came out, I have used it 3-4 times. I don't get a whole lot of calls from unknown people/scam, and both Google Voice and T-Mobile filter the majority of those for me.

Potential but falls flat in the display
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: WillamC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had really high hopes for the S26 Ultra. I had a S25 Ultra previously. The privacy display works good but you sacrifice the fine details in that you're viewing. There's just a slight grainy texture to most everything even when the privacy display is off. They're also more reflection than the S26 Ultra. I appreciate the increased speed and new features and the Galaxy AI features have been polished but since the display is what I'm always looking at it feels like a bit of a downgrade. If I had not already sent in my old phone for trade in, I probably would return the S26 Ultra and wait to see if the second generation of the privacy display solves the grainy issues on the next generation.

Stunning display and lightning fast.
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: Chevydee
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The display is stunning, bright, crisp, and incredibly smooth. Whether I’m scrolling, watching videos, or just browsing, everything looks amazing. The camera is easily one of my favorite features. The photos come out sharp, vibrant, and professional-looking, even in low light. It honestly feels like carrying a high-end camera in my pocket.
Performance wise, it’s lightning fast. Apps open instantly, multitasking is seamless, and I haven’t experienced any lag at all. The battery life is also impressive, it easily gets me through a full day and then some without constantly worrying about charging.

In Love with this Phone
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: Nabeel
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't tell how much I love my new S26 Ultra. I upgraded from my S22 Ultra from 4 years ago. I totally forgot how snappy a phone can be. Love the Camera and the flat screen, the privacy display and all the Galaxy AI features.
The only disappointment is the no Bluetooth support on the S pen. I used the S pen a lot to click pictures on my S22 Ultra it's a bummer that Samsung removed it. This is the reason I have given 4 stars instead of 5.
Apart from that I only have positive things to say about this phone.

Amazing Cameras and truly a workhorse
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: Detritus
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI allows you to take a picture or video and produce gorgeous results and functionally of the Galaxy S26 Ultra is more adept at getting things done than anything else I've tried up to having my Dell computer in my pocket.

Privacy Display
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: Ken4Dog
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the insane battery recharge rate it's much better than before but most importantly is the Privacy Display is the most important thing on the phone and is incredible it does it's job extremely well, even worked with me I was on my phone looking at my bank statement and a guy walks over to try and take a peek but as soon as I turned on the Privacy Display he got upset and had to walk away so thank you samsung for everything 😀 at least I extremely appreciate it.
