New new plus ultra
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Esepepe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for a little while now and overall I’m really happy with it. It feels like a serious upgrade and definitely one of the best phones I’ve owned.
Three things I really love:
First, the camera is amazing. The pictures come out super sharp and the zoom is crazy good. I took some night photos and they looked way better than I expected from a phone.
Second, the screen is beautiful. It’s big, bright, and smooth when scrolling. Watching videos or just browsing feels great on it.
Third, the speed and AI features are impressive. Everything runs fast and some of the built-in AI tools actually feel useful instead of gimmicky. Editing photos and multitasking is really easy.
One thing that’s just okay:
The battery is decent but not mind-blowing. It lasts me most of the day, but if you’re using the camera and apps a lot you’ll probably still want to charge it at night.
Overall:
I’m really happy with the S26 Ultra. It’s powerful, the camera is awesome, and the screen alone makes it worth it. If you like big phones with great cameras, this one is definitely worth considering. 👍📱

100x zoom is bad even in comparison to my S24 Ult

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI demonstrates exceptional capabilities, particularly its image manipulation feature, which allows for precise alterations based on user prompts. My colleague and I find this functionality highly beneficial, especially for artistic design applications.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the design; it feels very light and slim. Its "Galxy AI" features are excellent, but I do miss the SPen's Bluetooth connectivity.

The Ultra is still...Ultra
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: WillorBillorWilliam
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Many reviews are complaining how the Ultra has fallen far from its moniker, I'm here to tell you that's far from the truth.
I had the Note 20, the s23 ultra, then the fold 6. For years the Ultra line of phones has offered an experience that no other phone can offer, and switching to the fold 6 for over a year made that exceedingly obvious. The cameras, and not just the quality but the utility of having 4 spectacular lenses to choose from, there is a camera for every scenario. When you switch to any other phone with 3 lenses or less, you are immediately aware of the limits that the Ultra absolutely smashes through.
"The Ultra has not innovated enough to be worth it"
I can tell you right now, comparing to the s23 ultra... there is lots of innovation. Yes you won't be wanting to upgrade from the 25 or maybe the 24, but that's a positive not a negative. When you buy the Ultra, you are hoping to have a reliable (and exceptional) companion for years to come. No phone manufacturer makes a phone worthy of upgrade from last gen in 2026... It's time to stop pretending like that's a bad thing. The software is smoother and more polished, from the camera app to the smart ai search in the settings. The AI call screening, Gemini and Bixby not only having LLM capabilities but LAM capabilities making them actually useful assistants.
We don't need endless hardware upgrades because what we have is already so amazing and future proof. But the software improvements you will notice every day.

Greatest phone ever
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: SpankyTheDon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just when I thought the S25 ultra was the greatest invention because of how much you can do especially with the Galaxy Ai, samsung invents the S26 Ultra. The gap between how far Galaxy Ai went from the S25 ultra to the S26 Ultra is huge. The photo editing like changing complete backgrounds in yor photos. Adding a image from one photo to another. The wall paper creator and so much more. The combination of s26 ultra and the galaxy buds 4 together using the translator is amazing. The privacy display and the settings like choosing when it activates is great. This phone is just unbelievably intelligent.

Lightning fast but one major flaw
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Huge speed and overall performance upgrade over my previous Galaxy S23 Ultra.
However, there's one major flaw. If you are used to using a magnetic case and use a portable magnetic battery charger, the lower camera makes it so that the battery doesn't have space. If you hold it just right and don't use it, you can get it to make contact and change but I can't actually is it like that. Bummer
Galaxy AI for contest
