It's beast of a phone,packed with amazing features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 Ultra features the first-ever built-in Privacy Display.
No More Peeping: You can limit the viewing angle so that people next to you (like on a bus or elevator) can’t see your screen.
It can automatically turn on for sensitive tasks, like when you're entering a PIN or password.
PRO-LEVEL CAMERA UPGRADES with a Massive 200MP Sensor: The main camera now has a wider f/1.4 aperture, which lets in nearly 47% more light than the S25 Ultra for much better night photos.
It features a quad-camera system, including a 50MP periscope lens with 5x optical zoom and 10x optical-quality zoom, also with a wider aperture for clearer long-distance shots.
THE AI MAGIC got Photo Assist tools it allow me to describe changes in plain English—like asking to "change my outfit" or "restore a missing piece of a cake" in a photo—and the AI does it instantly.
It got the Fastest Processor: It runs on the custom Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, delivering 39% faster AI performance and 24% better graphics for gaming.
Despite the power, it’s the slimmest Ultra yet at just 7.9mm thick, with more rounded corners for a more comfortable grip. It now supports Super Fast Charging 3.0, reaching a 75% charge in just 30 minutes.
Samsung is promising 7 years of security and OS updates, meaning this phone will stay current until 2033.
Durability: It uses Titanium or Armor Aluminum frames (depending on the region/model) and Corning Gorilla Armor 2 for elite scratch and drop resistance.

Don't be afraid to trade up
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Lovemydog2019
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hesitant to trade in my S24 ultra as I really loved that phone. I made the right decision.
The new S26 ultra has a better battery life, lighter and feels better in my small hands.
I'm still learning all the AI features as they are really amazing.
if you are considering trading DO IT. You won't regret your decision at all!

Good phone
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Johanna00771
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Switching to the Galaxy S26 Ultra has been a great upgrade for me, both personally and professionally. The camera delivers sharp, clean photos without effort, even in low light, which I appreciate when I need quick, accurate images. The Privacy Display has become one of my favorite features because it keeps my screen protected from side glances while I’m working or out in public. The phone handles multitasking smoothly, letting me move between apps without slowing down or heating up, and the battery reliably lasts through long, busy days. The screen is bright and crisp, a bit reflective at times, but still beautiful to use. Overall, the S26 Ultra feels like a dependable, polished device that fits perfectly with my lifestyle and the demands of my work.

Incredible Upgrade
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Dovahkittin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So excited about this new device. Upgrading from the Galaxy s22 Ultra. The Galaxy Ai features alone seem incredible. Built in object eraser? I don't even need to import to Lightroom. I mainly wanted to upgrade to the newer lenses.

Problems accessing gmail msgs
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Photodoc
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've successfully transferred prior ultras since s20u each year without a hitch. For some reason with the 26u all I can do is send an email. It refuses to go to inbox. I will also be contacting Google to see if they have a fix.
