New features are amazing
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: ColdRed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Samsung Galaxy 26 Ultra is everything and more of what they are talking about.
The new Galaxy AI features really bring the phone to life in the new age of technology. As well as the side screen viewing protection.
My favorite Galaxy AI feature is the action camera video feature!

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.

Feels like a brand new phone
on March 15, 2026
Posted by: Murubaba
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] On the specifications sheet it looks like an incremental update. Yet the phone feels like a brand new phone. All of these little changes are trending to bring it closer to perfection from what was already an awesome device.
Can't wait to try all the new Galaxy AI features. I will update this review after that happens.
