Noticable step up!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well, I have been loyal to the Galaxy line up since the 9. Continously have upgraded, and loved the change every time. Now this s26 Ultra is definitely a step up comming from the S24U. Noticeable difference in CPU speed, still keeps up with all the expectations from the previous models! 10/10 would recommend.

Galaxy AI Incredible
on March 16, 2026
Posted by: Boogy1979
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is so amazing! The Galaxy AI features alone make it upgrade worthy, even if you have the previous Galaxy S25 Ultra. The Galaxy AI assistant is so handy! From remembering a conversation you had a week ago about meeting for coffee and reminding you the morning of! Absolutely the best phone on the market!!!

All is good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra feels less like a radical reinvention and more like a highly polished tool. Having upgraded from the S23 Ultra, the transition is seamless, though perhaps a bit too familiar for those looking for a "wow" factor.
The Hardware & Battery
Physically, there isn't much to report—it retains the similar form factor with no obviously exciting changes to the aesthetic. If you were hoping for a bold new look, this isn't it. Furthermore, battery life remains consistent with previous generations; while reliable, I didn't notice any significant gains in longevity.

The Standout Features
Where this phone actually earns its keep is in the software and display technology:
Galaxy AI Integration: This is easily the most improved aspect of the daily experience. The AI tools are deeply baked into the OS, and I find myself using them multiple times a day—specifically for search, which has become much more intuitive.
Privacy Display: This is the true "innovation" of the S26 series. The new display tech is incredibly helpful for maintaining privacy in public. The app-specific privacy function is particularly clever, allowing you to shield sensitive information on a per-app basis without compromising the entire viewing experience.

If you are coming from an S23 Ultra, you aren't getting a brand-new look or better battery, but you are getting a much smarter device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the new Galaxy s26 Ultra. Privacy screen and embedded AI features are tow of the many great things. The speed and the camera are the next two improvements. The UI8.5 and Android 26 are very intuitve.

A awesome upgrade from the s23 ultra!
on March 16, 2026
Posted by: DannyBassfishin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded from the S23 to the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and the new built-in privacy screen and larger S Pen are excellent hardware additions. While the interface feels familiar, the Galaxy AI is the real star, seamlessly elevating the entire experience and making it a true leap forward.
