Upgrade from S25 Ultra
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: RibMidi
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I made the decision to upgrade based on some specs released ahead of launch, namely CPU and camera improvements. I got the 1 TB model, as I have 343 GB of data, and it grows larger every day. I have over 6,000 videos, my entire music collection and thousands of photos. From the moment I began the process of transferring the data, I noticed the increase in speed. I have to hand it to Samsung because there was almost always a glitch or more using Smart Switch, but not this time. I did it via Wi-Fi, and it basically made the new phone into a clone of the old one, and with little input from me. All settings and customizations were transferred. The entire process took just under 2 hours. When I did app updates, after the transfer, the majority were 3-5 seconds each.
The privacy screen feature is awesome. The display, to me, is as good as the S25 Ultra. I'm really enjoying One UI 8.5. Galaxy AI has come in handy for doing research...summarizing verbose websites or articles, editing photos, and verifying the veracity of different news articles. All in all, I'm very happy I made the switch and have barely scratched the surface of the phone's overall capabilities! I find little difference in "feel," as it's still a hefty device, and the slightly more rounded corners are not an issue. If I had to nit pic, the camera island is bit tall, but rendered unimportant with a proper case on the phone, which levels it out. Sound is noticeably improved too! A winner!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the new S26 Ultra. It feels fast, smooth, and premium, and the battery life has been great for my daily use. The display looks amazing for videos, games, and scrolling, and the camera takes sharp, clear photos. Galaxy AI has also been a nice bonus and makes the phone even more useful. Overall, this is easily one of my favorite Samsung phones yet.

The S26U is the future
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: Goofyguber
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the new Galaxy S26 Ultra for a bit now, and overall it feels like Samsung really focused on the things people actually notice day to day. The display is excellent, performance is super smooth, and the phone handles multitasking and heavier use without making you think about it. Camera quality is strong across the board, especially when it comes to detail and stability, and battery life has been solid enough that I’m not constantly looking for a charger.
That said, I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because it still feels a little too familiar in some areas. It’s a really polished phone, but not quite the kind of leap that makes it feel completely new. Still, if you want a premium Android phone that does just about everything well, the S26 Ultra is an easy recommendation.

The best phone i have used till now
on March 30, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from the S24 Ultra, I'll be honest — on paper this felt like a risky upgrade to skip a generation on. In hand? It actually makes sense.
The camera jump is real. The aperture went from f/1.7 to f/1.4 on the main lens (Wikipedia) , and low-light shots are noticeably sharper. Night photos that used to need editing now look clean straight out of the camera.
The aluminum frame feels better than I expected — lighter, less slippery than the S24's build, and the rounded corners make it more comfortable to hold for long sessions.
Privacy Display is the wildcard feature I didn't know I'd use daily. Checking emails on the subway or typing passwords in public just feels less exposed now. It works exactly as advertised.
Gemini AI is where the upgrade genuinely surprised me. Draft replies, summarize long emails, quick research with Circle to Search — it's woven into the workflow in a way that feels natural, not forced. I've genuinely cut down on laptop time for small tasks.

S26 Ultra
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: FROMEO
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the new S26 Ultra! I had the S21 Ultra so it's a great upgrade. I have double the memory of my old phone. The display graphics are amazing. The photos are awesome so the cameras are a huge upgrade for me. I love playing around with the Galaxy AI on photos. I take a lot of pictures of my dogs so the Galaxy AI for photos is cool to learn and play with. The sound from the phone is also a lot better. The fast charging is unbelievably fast. Loving the phone!
