As far as phones go, this is it;

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In a stagnant breath of technology where we are no longer improving on most things due to tech constraints, Samsung yet again pushes the boundaries of how a phone should feel.
The upgraded chip makes you really appreciate the new device, as someone who had mo issues with the s25 Ultra, I was pleasantly surprised to notice how smooth, quick and more stable the s26 ultra felt, granted the feel is not a massive difference but being able to already improve on peak is incredible.
The Camera is still as wonderful as ever, with beautiful photos that usually people say are not as colorful as other mainline phones but that's the big point, my pictures feel and look real to what my mine sees, not over saturated color swatches.
The Galaxy AI features are fun as well, I like the privacy filter, though I don't really have too much of a reason to use it. Having it being able to be set for specific things was a smart move that I did like, so hopefully I find a reason to use that. On board assistant and perplexity work well too though I haven't messed with them an awful lot.
The only thing I wish that samsung would bring back is the sPen functionality. I miss being able to take photos with the pen or control small aspects with the connectivity to it.
Over all a wonderful device, as always. I look forward to the updates.

Great so far
on March 16, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This version of the Galaxy family has not changed a whole lot from the S25. The few things is has changed has been the rounder corners of the phone itself. Although it's slightly more rounded it doesn't take away from the screen at all.
The location of the S-Pen has changed too. It's closer to the corner and to be honest it is a little annoying having to make sure the correct side is facing up so it can fit inside correctly.
The quality of the screen has changed and it has better resolution. Right out of the box it is set to a lower setting by default, so you would have to adjust it to see the difference.

I've only had it for a few days so I'm still playing with the different features,but I would say it's been great so far.

Great battery life

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my Samsung 26 Ultra to create AI videos and make music with Suno. The camera is amazing, and the zoom absolutely blew my mind. The battery lasts much longer than my 24 FE did. I also really like the privacy feature on the screen—it’s a really cool addition. By far the best phone I have ever owned

Best galaxy release yet
on March 16, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded to the Samsung galaxy s26 ultra and it has not disappointed. It starts with the new flat screen instead of the round edges and the built in privacy screen is an amazing feature. I use my phone for basically everything from work to my personal use. I am very happy with the AI features and I am looking forward to trying them all in the near future. Great job Samsung on the new flagship phone.
