Galaxy AI Changes Everything — This Phone Does It
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: DrTechWA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After upgrading to the Galaxy S26 Ultra, I genuinely cannot imagine going back. Galaxy AI is the real star of the show, features like Now Nudge and Photo Assist with natural language prompts make daily tasks feel effortless. The AI anticipates what I need before I even ask for it, and that level of intelligence integrated into the phone feels like a genuine leap forward, not just a marketing term.
The camera is outstanding. The 200MP wide lens with the wider F1.4 aperture captures incredible detail even in low light, and Nightography video keeps footage sharp and vibrant in conditions where my old phone would have struggled. I shoot a lot of video and the upgraded Super Steady with horizontal lock is a game changer for smooth, cinematic shots on the go.
Performance is seamless. Everything loads instantly, multitasking is buttery smooth, and the redesigned cooling system keeps the device running without any heat throttling even during extended use.
The built-in Privacy Display is something I did not expect to love as much as I do. Being able to hide my screen from side angles in public without a bulky privacy screen protector is brilliant. It works exactly as advertised and gives real peace of mind in crowded spaces.
This is the most complete smartphone I have ever owned. Five stars without hesitation.

Love the Privacy screen feature!
on March 11, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is great! I got the S26 Ultra in Cobalt Violet. I love the stylus! The camera feature is great as well! I love that I can zoom in and it will not lose focus.
I love how easy it was to transfer everything from the old one to the new one.
So far everythings great!
Now to the negative.
The color is hinting more blue than violet, which isnt that big of a deal, I just hoped it was more purple than blue.

One thing I DISLIKED was that samsung messages was not available on this phone. It was not preinstalled and it is NOT available in the galaxy store to download. Bring it back!!!! I prefer that method waaaaay better than google messages! Bring back samsung messages!
Other than those 2 things, this phone is great. Like my 24 but better. The screen just seems more vibrant and it responds a lot faster! Love my S26 Ultra!

4.5 Overall phone
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: ILoveSamsung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Samsung phones. I have been a user of this products since the Galaxy S series launched, I have never had other brand. I love the way this brand has evolved over the years.
I have been using the S26 Ultra for a week now so I think that I am on a very good position to give my feedback.
As all the Galaxy phone family this is a great phone overall. My only complaint this year is about the screen. I understand that for every new feature there is a trade off. I love the new feature (Privacy Display) but for some reason I feel like the quality of the screen "decreased". I work a lot on the outside so my device constantly receives direct sun light the S25 Ultra was great for that because of the anti reflecting coating, I have noticed that is not as good on this one.
Another thing that can be upgraded for the next generations is the battery capacity. There a lot of manufacturers that are starting to use silicon carbon batteries and are getting excellent results. Overall I think the batterie is sufficient but not great.
The Galaxy AI features are great, I still don't use them very frequently but it's a great addition that helps the phone be the great product that it is.
Keep doing what you are doing Samsung team. I can tell there is a great group of people that are passionate about what they do.
Best regards from a forever and ever user of Galaxy S's smartphones!

Great update!
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: GalaxyYiyi
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've upgraded from an S24+ to the S26 Ultra, and I'm very happy with it! I love the new design and colors. Some of the new features I've been playing with for the past 24h and I love the new Galaxy AI, the privacy mode and (In my case) the S pen.
As always transfering everything from one Galaxy to the other was very smooth! And I've been using extra hours to organize everything again, the batteries life is great and it charges really fast.
I'm a loyal customer for a reason, and I can't wait to see how it will improve my daily routines.
