Best AI features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted this device purely because i wanted the best AI on the market. Galaxy AI goes beyond the basics. It's made my traveling life a breeze! I can ask it from translation request to asking what something is just by taking a photo of it. I love my new phone!

The device runs incredibly smooth, and the intuitive interface makes multitasking much easier. It's a fantastic piece of tech for anyone who values efficiency."

The battery life is the best I've ever had.
on March 14, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used Samsung almost exclusively since the S7 when the pixel 9 pro xl came out I tried that and I'm so glad I'm back to Samsung. Galaxy AI writing assist makes texting and emailing super simple and quick replies are better than ever. The camera is fantastic younger me never would have imagined what a camera in my pocket would be capable of. The absolute highlight for me however is the battery life I can confidently get through an entire 24 hours without worrying my phone will die or need charged. I'm talking texts, streaming YouTube, listening to podcasts or music and scrolling Instagram or Twitter I only have to charge once every 24 hours and some days I get more than 24 hours before I drop below 15%. I always get a new phone when my old one starts needing charged multiple times just to get through the day this phone hands down has the best battery of any smartphone I've ever used. I highly recommend the S26 ultra to anyone looking for an upgrade or a new phone. You cannot go wrong with this model.

Pinnacle of Galaxy S series!
on March 14, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the smoothest Galaxy phone Samsung has released. There's something magical about it. 24MP mode is game changing! There's really so much customization real photographers and videographers can use! And Samsung is able to produce outstanding results with camera sensors from 4 years ago! The day Samsung use updated sensors and bigger battery, it's game over for all other phones!

New features are amazing
on March 14, 2026

[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
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: YearlyUpgrade
[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.
