This product has great features
on March 14, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my S26 Ultra for work and school every single day. The integration of Galaxy AI across the entire interface has completely changed my workflow. For example, Galaxy AI helps me summarize long meeting transcripts instantly, while the Galaxy AI writing assistant ensures my professional emails are perfectly toned. When I’m doing research, Galaxy AI allows me to circle anything on my screen to find information immediately. It’s more than just a phone; the Galaxy AI makes it feel like having a personal assistant in my pocket.
For streaming and photography, the S26 Ultra is unmatched. I love how Galaxy AI enhances every photo I take, automatically suggesting the best edits. The Galaxy AI generative edit feature is incredible for moving objects around in my shots to get the perfect composition. Even when I’m just watching movies, Galaxy AI optimizes the display and sound settings in real-time based on what I’m viewing.

This is my new favorite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Haven't had for long, but so far it's amazing, the screen is crisp and i love the built in privacy screen. Haven't tried out the galaxy AI yet. The camera is amazing, super clear pictures. I go back and forth between phones, I've had all the big names and this is my favorite.

Love The S Series
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Josiee
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the S24 since it came out. The S22 Ultra before that. I missed the Spen so I waited for the latest. I love it so far. However, I have a few complaints. Maybe it's just my phone, maybe not. The Spen isn't as calibrated to the screen as it should be. I have to write either at an angle or further from the letters I've just written or they'd be ontop of each other as I write.
The screen doesn't freeze, but the selections do. I can still use my navigation bar but the middle of the screen doesn't let me select things sometimes.
Other than that, the camera is impeccable. I'm in absolute awe at the zoom and 200mp camera. I know it's been the same since the 22, but this one has a much higher quality.
Galaxy AI has gotten better since the S24 and the layout of the phone is nice as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Happy with it so far. Seems easier to move around in my hands than the S24 ultra. Galaxy AI isn't too bad.

The new privacy screen is awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My First Weeks With It
I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra as my main phone, and it feels every bit like a top‑tier flagship. The huge 6.9‑inch Dynamic AMOLED display is bright, sharp, and incredibly smooth, and the new privacy viewing angle feature is surprisingly useful when I’m in public or on a plane.
Performance has been flawless so far. Battery life comfortably lasts a full day for me, and the new 60 W wired charging gets the phone to around three‑quarters full in about half an hour, which makes quick top‑ups easy.
Camera quality is one of the best parts of this phone. The 200 MP main camera takes detailed, vibrant photos, and the telephoto lenses handle zoom shots well, especially in good light. Low‑light photos from the main camera look clean and bright, though the other lenses are a bit weaker at night. Portrait mode looks natural, and Samsung’s Galaxy AI tools like object eraser are handy for quick edits.
Design‑wise, the S26 Ultra looks familiar but refined. It’s thinner and lighter than previous Ultras while still feeling premium, and the color options (like the new blue and violet) stand out without being too flashy. The S Pen is still built in and works great for quick notes and precise edits, though its new position might take a little getting used to.
Overall, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is an excellent choice if you

Another great addition

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After getting the new device I have been pleasantly surprised at how much of an improvement the s26u is over my old s24u. With the new processor being a massive upgrade, the device using about 30% battery in a normal day of usage, and the new privacy display being a nice piece of mind while using the phone in public places. Some of the Galaxy AI features that I use are the weather wallpapers, the photo assist, and the now brief.
