Exceeds expectations
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Brandon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good! I've been using it for about a week and they delivered on everything they set out to do. The privacy feature is amazing and the Galaxy AI features are surprisingly well integrated and useful. The camera and screen brightness improvements are my favorite part especially for streaming outdoors. Looking forward to exploring additional features as I use it more.

Beautiful and smart

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had galaxy phones for a while now but this one is different. It's sleek and light and honestly I think Galaxy AI might be smarter than me but I am still working on figuring it out. The camera is amazing, and I'm glad we went back to the rounded edges. Speed processing is fast and everything integrates together well. Looking forward to using this thing to it's full potential

New S26 Ultra
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Herentx
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After purchasing my first Samsung years ago, a Note, which is dearly missed, there has never been another phone that comes close to this brand. It's functionality and efficiency is remarkable. Also, the Galaxy AI technology is absolutely amazing. Great job Samsung. Another winner.

Powerful phone with impressive Galaxy AI features
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: UltraExplorer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra has been an excellent device in my daily routine. The performance is incredibly smooth whether I am using it for work, streaming videos, browsing, or multitasking between apps. The display is bright, sharp, and easy to read even outdoors, which makes it great for watching movies or reviewing documents on the go.
One feature that stands out the most is Galaxy AI. The Galaxy AI tools make everyday tasks faster and more convenient. Features like smart text suggestions, photo editing assistance, and intelligent search help save time and make the phone feel more responsive to how I actually use it.
The camera system is also impressive. Photos come out detailed with great color and clarity, even in lower light conditions. The zoom capability is particularly useful when capturing distant subjects.
Battery life has been very reliable throughout the day, even with heavy use such as streaming, navigation, and productivity apps. The overall design of the phone feels premium and comfortable to hold.
Overall, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is a powerful and reliable device that combines strong performance, a beautiful display, and helpful Galaxy AI features that improve everyday use.

Sleek design and user friendly
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Culvey
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This new phone is super fast, it was a massive upgrade from the old s22 ultra I had, and it is just a little faster than my wife's s25 ultra.
I really appreciate the new privacy display feature. It isn't just an on or off thing, but can be customized to turn on for specific apps. That means I can have full screen functionality on my day to day but privacy for any sensitive information.
The Galaxy AI background creator was a lot of fun. It was the first time I got any AI to show a viable blacksmith workshop with an anvil, normally they have some random nonsense but the AI kept it simple and smooth. The only thing I didn't like was it shows a sample including an anime like person, but when trying to add one into an image using multiple prompts it would never add a person.
This phone is very user friendly right out of the box but, being a tech nerd, it still gives me a ton of customization options like developer mode.
If only this brought back the old-school micro-SD card slots since nobody uses the physical Sim cards any more... but it seems samsung refuses to give that back to us so they can upsell memory at a massive cost per GB.

To fold or not to fold?
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Gcdzla
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I keep bouncing back and forth between a fold and slab phone. I really liked my s23 ultra but upgraded to the fold 7 because the bigger cover display. I really missed the cameras and better battery life so I switched back to a slab with this s26 ultra. So far, I'm impressed. I did sacrifice a big inner display as I watch plenty of multimedia but I take lots more pictures of my family and hobbies so it was the right move. Galaxy AI was good on the fold7 but it's more smooth on the s26 ultra. Hopefully the fold8 won't have flagship specs or I might be forced to move again.

Nice changes but just a good phone
on March 13, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brightness got lowered, disappointed that screen technology has not changed still 8 bit panel, could have gotten a bigger battery life for the cost.
