Nice upgraded phone.
on March 10, 2026
Posted by: KeXin2026
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded from S24plus. Ultra has nice features, especially Galaxy AI. Settings are very customizable to owner. For someone who didn't care for AI, I was impressed by the options. I particularly liked the AI call settings and language associations, such as the interpreter application. It helps me when I'm trying to converse/speak with other people who don't speak English as a primary language.
I spent some time in settings, but it was worth it to personalize my phone. I really like the privacy element to display. I don't have to purchase a privacy screen protector for this anymore. It allows you to select which apps to make displays private, instead of all the time.
Another nice feature is the battery charging. It can be set to a lower percentage and stops charging to preserve the battery life.
Everything seems to be an improvement and more convenient. Graphics are nice and vivid, with a wider screen from a plus phone, so some gaming is great on it.
It's not a perfect phone, but with some new and improved features, especially the Galaxy AI element, it is a pretty awesome phone. If you have an older Samsung phone from years ago, it's probably time for you to upgrade.

10/10 device
on March 10, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off let's start with the built in privacy screen. Absolutely phenomenal. Honestly the main reason for this purchase. I am upgrading from an S23 Ultra to this S26 Ultra and I love it. My ONLY complaint is the pen. I miss using the button on the S pen to take pictures. That's about it. The battery life lasts the entire day. It is very user friendly and customizable. They did an outstanding job

Amazing as always
on March 10, 2026
Posted by: Dberg69
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, I'm really enjoying this device, going from an S24 Ultra. It is extremely smooth, and I expect to get many years of service. The AI services seem to be extremely efficient and well-thought-out. My next purchase will be a set of new buds, which are needed badly.

The features are so much better than the s24
on March 10, 2026
Posted by: Toniar431
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that it has an automatic privacy feature so you don't have to use a privacy screen protector. Also it animates still photos randomly if you'd like. I like where they moved the stylus pen on the bottom of the phone it doesn't pop out as much. And there's so many other features that I'm still playing around with and that are so much different than the last two models

Powerful Al and Amazing Privacy Features
on March 10, 2026
Posted by: Alifay
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra is an impressive upgrade. Galaxy Al makes everyday tasks easier, from improving photos to helping with quick summaries and smart suggestions. The new Privacy Display is also a great feature because it limits the viewing angle so people around you cannot see your screen in public places. It makes using the phone in cafés, airports, or on public transport much more comfortable and secure. Overall, the Galaxy S26 Ultra combines powerful Galaxy Al with useful privacy features in a fast and premium device.

Another Flawless Execution From Samsung
on March 10, 2026
Posted by: ZakinLA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Setting the standard for andoid year after year.... It should come as no surprise at this point that Samsung is a leader in technology in the modern smartphone space. That doesn't mean there should be even a slight loss of appreciation for this years flagship. What's always impressed me with Samsung's offerings is the option of diversity or tradition year after year. Where we see the foldable series of phones from samsung outside of the box, the new S26 Ultra would be almost the antithesis. Minor improvements in most areas that we've come to expect, yet still pushing the envelope in areas we care about. The S26 Ultra has features this year that I couldn't pass up. It's also nice to have features today that won't be seen on competitive devices for years to come in my hand today!
The three biggest features that stood out to me this year was the video stabilizer that allows us to spin the phone around and still capture clean video. Absolutely incredible to say the least. Second was the ability to selectively enable application privacy to prevent others from seeing your screen. And doing this while maintaining the anti reflective coating that outperforms any other phone today. Third would have to be the Galaxy AI systems. Most of important of which for me are the translation and assistance features. Being able to live translate a phone call is absolutely amazing.
There truly isn't enough space here to explain all of the features and details of the S26 Ultra.
