I'm beyond exited with the Galaxy AI feature.

Posted by: Bachi71
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Every year Samsung gets better and better.
The new Galaxy AI feature on the S26 Ultra is already making a difference in my everyday life.
I have being faithful to Samsung products since 2010, and every time I think it can't get better, it absolutely does.
The easy access, the smoothness on keyboard, the buds sound, everything keeps getting better and better.
The Galaxy AI Feature, is helping me with quick tasks and have fun with pictures.
I'm extremely satisfied.

Upgraded from S24 Ultra
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: TechBuilder808
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded from the Galaxy S24 Ultra and overall I’m very impressed. The performance feels noticeably faster and smoother in daily use, especially when multitasking, gaming, and editing photos or videos. Battery life has also been excellent for me — I can comfortably get through a full day of heavy use without worrying about charging.
The display is outstanding as expected from Samsung. Bright, sharp, and easy to see outdoors. I stream a lot of content and watch sports on my phone, and the viewing experience is top-tier. The speakers are also surprisingly strong and clear.
I use Galaxy AI features regularly for productivity and convenience. Things like quick photo edits, summarizing content, and smart suggestions actually save time and make the device feel more useful, not gimmicky.
Camera quality is another big highlight. Photos look crisp with great color and detail, and low-light performance has been very reliable. Video stabilization is also impressive.
Overall this feels like a refined upgrade that improves speed, battery, AI features, and usability. If you are coming from an S24 Ultra, the improvements may not be dramatic in every area, but the total experience feels more polished and responsive. I’m happy with the upgrade.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Phone is awesome new AI features are A+ getting to create new photos instantly is awesome. The new privacy display feature is top tier in innovative nomore nosy neighbors lol. The new horizontal lock on the video camera is also one of the best things when it comes to keeping your subject in frame and without motion blur.

Refined and perfected.
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: AndroidWill
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have found that my new S26 Ultra with Galaxy AI is refined and perfected. The new privacy display is functional and simple to implement. The privacy display has many options to configure to meet different users needs. Besides the privacy display, the new S26 Ultra, the whole S26 line actually, doesn't really have many new features or grand improvements to list on paper. I have found through actual hands on use that my new phone is great. The S25 line was great, a few tweaks and updates were made the S26 line is still great. I have seen talk about the lack of magnets for wireless charging. I prefer a phone without magnets. Myself and my phone are exposed to metal (iron based) dust and chips that would get stuck to the phone. I was reluctant to trade in my S25 Edge, that I enjoyed and liked, for the S26 Ultra. I am glad I made the purchase and I am very pleased with my new phone.

Switch from Pixel
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: Dcwilliams1980
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first Galaxy product I have owned. I made the switch from Pixel and I'm not looking back. This phone is great! I love all the extra features it has. The built in Galaxy AI works flawlessly with my existing Gemini account. The difference in speed is mind blowing. There is a reason Samsung is the leader in Android phones.

The privacy display is amazing!

Posted by: BigJPNut
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a big step up from my S24 Ultra. Don't get me wrong, I loved my S24 but this phone had some features that made it worth it. The 1tb/16gb ram, privacy display, Galaxy AI is amazing and useful now with improved Bigsby/Plex system AI and integrated Gemini AI. Also having the best processor in the phone market doesn't hurt!
