Love the privacy screen built in
on March 10, 2026
Posted by: Walkthewalk93
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been daily driving the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for a bit now, and while it looks familiar, the small changes make a huge difference. The new 7.9mm thickness and Armour Aluminum 2.0 make it feel way more premium and less like a brick in my pocket compared to previous Ultras.
The real star is the Privacy Display. If you hate people peeking at your phone on a plane or in a meeting, this is a game-changer. It narrows the viewing angles so only you see the content. Performance-wise, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 handles everything I throw at it—from heavy multitasking to high-end gaming—without even getting warm.
The Downside? Still no Qi2 magnetic charging in 2026 feels like a missed opportunity, and the S-Pen silo is a bit pickier about how you slide it in. Overall, if you want the best screen and most secure phone out there, this is it.

S26 Ultra Great Festures
on March 10, 2026
Posted by: HappyinAZ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far I've found the phone great. The migration from the S25 Ultra was relatively seamless. I love the privacy display as I can select the apps to apply this feature to.
Had some questions about authentication and AI was right there to provide the answer. Love the fit and feel of the phone in my hand.

UI 8.5 is smooth. Icons easy to view. Love creating groups for apps.

Powerhouse Superphone, Upgrades +
on March 10, 2026
Posted by: Taxman1969
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used each Ultra since the S22 Ultra and this is the most powerful unit yet. Great camera, faster charging and WOW the performance. DEX is going to be fun. As the Galaxy universe grows, this is a great addition. Really looking forward to employing the new AI features in my photography.

Galaxy S26 Ultra shines with epic AI and camera!
on March 10, 2026
Posted by: Dwiddy1
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra yesterday, and I’m already hooked! The display is stunningly sharp...streaming movies and YouTube videos feels like having a mini theater in my hands. The 120Hz refresh makes everything silky smooth, and the anti-reflective layer keeps it crystal clear even in bright sunlight.
Performance is a dream: the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 zips through apps and multitasks flawlessly, while Galaxy AI is my handy sidekick...real-time translations, quick photo edits, and Note Assist make life so much smoother.
The camera absolutely captures every detail, from busy Brooklyn streets to Prospect Park nighttime shots. The battery has been keeping up with all my streaming and app hopping, and fast charging means I’m ready to go in no time.
Honestly, just one day in, and I can tell this phone is a joy to use...especially that gorgeous, sharp display.

Ultra phone
on March 10, 2026
Posted by: Ultrauser
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is a nice incremental upgrade from my last phone which was the S25 Ultra. The screen is massive and looks incredible for streaming movies from my Plex server or gaming, and the new Galaxy AI features like Now Nudge actually save me a ton of time on scheduling and logistics. Whether I'm taking high-res shots with the 200MP camera or using Photo Assist to quickly fix up family photos, the hardware and AI just work together to make my daily routine a lot smoother.
