There is just something about opening the box.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not very tech savvy but I was looking forward to the S26 Ultra codec improvements. The APV (video), Dolby Atmos (sound), Audio Enhance (AI) feature and improved bluetooth are used everyday. My favorite thing to do is listening to music on my ear buds and bluetooth speakers. Watching videos and podcasts is more enjoyable too. I am looking forward to improving my photographs with AI since that is my second favorite thing to do. But the excitement all starts with opening the box.

Now what I expected.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, overall a decent upgrade from the S24 Ultra that I had but there are some downsides. I do like the overall device and the camera is worth the hype. The security and system has improved significantly also. But, here are the improvements that could have been done.
1. Audio clarity, the audio feedback from the S26 Ultra is a bit muffled.
2. Size, a bit smaller than previous Ultra devices.
3. S-Pen Bluetooth removed - the S-Pen no longer has the Bluetooth capability to snap photos and other stuff was taken away.
4. Ram - personally disappointed that the 512gb comes with a only 12gb of ram and wished that it should've been 16gb.

Other than that, everything else is good. The battery life is great also.

A bit let down
on March 13, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a samsung customer since the note 20 I have loved my phones. This one however had been making me a bit frustrated. It took forever for my stuff to transfer over from my s25 ultra. Then sometimes the phone lags a bit. The screen kinda took a while to register what I was pressing or selecting. I like that you can use Ai for a lot of stuff so I will be playing around with it more to get a handle of it. I tried registering the device 5 times and it kept buffering and wouldn't allow me to input the numbers. I restarted the phone and after a few days it allowed me to do it finally. I hope all the bugs and issues get solved soon.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the new privacy feature on the phone and how light it feels this time unlike the s25 ultra that I traded in still wish I could trade in my galaxy buds pro 3 for the new ones though

S26 Ultra Ai and cooling big impact.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loving it more and more as the days go by. But the native hardware could use some upgrades other than just a bigger aperture. Galaxiy AI is proving pretty useful and solid.
