Steady and reliable
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: StevieBee
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgrading from a S23 Ultra, I wasn't expecting a lot of changes - and frankly, there aren't. I'm okay with that. I welcome the faster charging speeds though, it's refreshing to be able to plug in for a few minutes and have full battery whenever I need to.
I was concerned about giving up the 10x optical zoom featured on the S23 Ultra. The higher megapixels on the S26 Ultra, combined with some Galaxy AI magic, seem to make up the difference.
The privacy display is pretty cool. Being able to select when it is used based on what app I'm in makes it seamless. The intensity settings could be more diverse, as the highest setting even affects viewing the screen straight on.
One thing about battery life - with hours of use doom scrolling, this won't make it through the day with the screen set to the highest resolution. It hasn't been an issue for me - as simply plugging it in for 5 minutes gets me going for the rest of the day.
All in all, it's a steady and safe replacement to my S23 Ultra, with the faster charging spends being the crowning feature to highlight, along with the privacy screen.
One additional note - I've read that the privacy screen was giving people headaches. I haven't experienced that. Also, I didn't notice much of a difference in screen quality between my S23 Ultra and the S26 Ultra. So, the screen changes didn't compromise on quality to bring the new privacy screen feature.

Improved charging speed and performance
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: STARCOM17
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded my S25 ultra with this phone and I see minor hardware improvements, phone feels lighter and slimmer in your hand, WiFi reception seems to be better. Battery life has improved I would say a 25%. The smart switch app had issues while transferring data from previous phone, had to resume a couple of times, so it was a little time consuming. For the price paid I was expecting better hardware specs like more RAM and more mAh, however, AI features and software improvements clearly win over other flagship phones. So far I'm happy with my new phone.
