Same old, same old

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The big feature of s26 ultra is supposed to be the privacy screen. But after using it for several days I just turned it off. In extremely rare cases you actually need a feature like this. And its not like the feature is without its drawbacks. The screen genuinely looks worse with it being on. Best to just keep it off.
Barring the screen, what new stuff is here compares to 25 ultra? There's nothing, really. The galaxy AI features are cute. But s25 ultra can do all the same stuff.
As an yearly upgrade this doesn't feel like an upgrade at all. Almost a downgrade because of the screen.
This is a reliable phone. But it's also a boring one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is amazing. From the normal text messaging to the AI picture transformation and camera. The sounds from the speakers with clarity. The s pin and features it has. Keep up the great work with this. It only gets better. For the color, I got the light blue and looks great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Takes way better night or in the dark pictures, faster processor, loads apps, games, feeds and other things fast and a privacy screen is nice feature.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A very intuitive device. Significant improvment from my S23. I'm glad I upgraded. Looking forward to my automation and simplicity.

Favorite phone yet!
on March 15, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always wanted to upgrade to the ultra base models but I wasn't able to until now! With the new round corners and light weight design, the phone fits well in my tinny hands.
Galaxy AI has been so useful and helpful for my daily routines. It's like a personal assistant in my pocket!
I love how fast the phone works, how great the graphics are when I game, and the beautiful pictures and videos I get to take with my S26 Ultra. Plus!! My phones battery last all day and that's so important for me!!!
Overall, if you're looking for an elevated classy-lookin phone, you've come to the right place!! Samsung has had my heart for over 10yrs, and they continue to produce amazing innovative products!

Wild Camera - Great Battery
on March 15, 2026
Posted by: HeroicPhoneReviewGuy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the dual sim capabilities because I'm a business owner and used to carry around 2 phones. The side task bar is super convenient for getting to apps and staying efficient and productive, and I'm also enjoying the NFC feature which makes taking tap payments from customers a breeze. Haven't used galaxy Ai much.
