[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm extremely satisfied with the product I purchased; the quality is consistently superior. It's a device that generates a lot of excitement, especially because of its AI capabilities, which promise greater future possibilities. For me, it's particularly special for my daily use, especially for work and studies. It simplifies all processes and provides me with complete convenience, as well as absolute security for all my personal accounts. I'm very happy and grateful to be part of the Samsung family and, above all, to have this new, high-quality, and comfortable device.

Still a Samsung Stan

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The display and brightness are much better than the S24 Ultra I traded in. I mainly use my phone to multitask while playing RPGs and watching YouTube on Bluetooth. I only had my phone for a day now, so I can't speak for the battery yet, but I know my 24 would be <40% after 9 hours of 'my multi-tasking'. Otherwise, I prefer the sharper look of the 24 screen to the rounder 26. I don't care much for a privacy screen, but the function is pretty comparable to a privacy screen protector, so it makes sense that you would need a brighter screen, too. I'm not versed in AI chats or functions in general, so I can't speak to the included Perplexity app. I often used the AI photo editor on my 24, and I didn't notice any difference in functionality. Although the 26 pen is less precise and sensitive than my 24. Otherwise, I transferred the same MagSafe ring holder to the new MagSafe case, but it affects some functions. Particularly the 26 pen, it doesn't respond at all where the ring is, unless I remove it, which I didn't for my 24. The NFC card reader didn't respond either when I was activating my Samsung wallet. Plus, the placement is slightly higher than before, so my finger covers the camera when I use my holder. Also, I don't know if it was a lag issue, but an hour after my phone transfer was complete, some of my apps crashed and froze when I tried to log in. The app(s) is one problem, but the phone was unresponsive for me to force close, turn off, or do anything until a minute later.

Privacy Display and 8.5 UI is awesome 👌
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: Anand2all
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent performance
Uses Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (3nm) chip, making it extremely fast for gaming and multitasking
5000 mAh battery can easily last over 24 hours with heavy use.
200 MP main camera with brighter f/1.4 aperture
Improved low-light “Nightography”
Strong HDR and detail.
This makes the phone feel more automated and productivity-focused with Galexy AI.
the phone feels like a refined S25 Ultra rather than a big leap

Great upgrade over my 24+

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful phone and easy to hold. Galaxy Ai did a great job in understanding my calls and requesting settings. Added dual eSim and looking forward to how it works in public safety and daily shift work. The data transfer from my 24+ to this was seamless from my data to my Ultra Watch and Pro Buds. No complaints!

Excellence

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung S26 Ultra for a short time now and I’m really impressed. The screen is incredibly bright and sharp, and the performance is extremely fast with no lag at all. The camera is outstanding, especially in low light, and the zoom is very impressive. Battery life easily lasts a full day even with heavy use. The build quality feels very premium and the S Pen is a great bonus for productivity. Overall, this is one of the best smartphones Samsung has made.
