New Phone Same Phone
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Strive4Gr8ness
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While the Galaxy AI is cool and engaging but honestly I went from a S23 Ultra to this 26 model and I truly feel my previous phone was bigger that I liked and allowed me to use older apps such as the Numberpad Keyboard because the T9 keyboard is very complicated on this device. It could option to save added words like slang to dictionary and a space bar where the 0 would be while allowing the prediction to work better. The new camera itself is great especially for close up in depth photos. I do wish charger boxes would be a thing again as with what phones are costing now there should be more included not less. I've been Team Samsung for years such as washers, televisions and phones but I feel lately they are doing too much to compare phone wise to the "fruit phone". While the phone is nice I sadly don't feel it was worth the jump I expected when upgrading.

This phone has Awesome new features!
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Roxas420
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is amazing for gaming, loads extremely fast... i am shocked at how fast it lasts games up, literally faster than my ps5. The galaxy AI feature that makes it to where you can change up photos you have taken to look even cooler, like an anime version of yourself or even an oil painting, plus quite a few other options to choose from, is one of my favorite things about this device. I love it!

S26 ultra too expensive and no Bluetooth on stylus pen, instead of moving forward with new technology, it's going backwards. It's a shame

Nothing Special
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: SamsungT23
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There's really nothing that stands out on the new S26 ultra. Coming from an S23 Ultra,i feel it's similar. The privacy display they promoted is still a work in-progress feature. The Galaxy AI is useful, but they can still make it better

The product did not hold a charge/defective
on March 7, 2026
Posted by: Unhappy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worst experience with Samsung! I always have had a positive experience, except on this purchase. The phone lasted me less than 24hrs. I charged it overnight and it only charged to 70 percent, in less than 2 hrs the battery was down to 20 percent. The whole time the phone is overheating, hot to the touch. I called to get the issue resolved, worst options given to solve issue/ nothing was resolved. Returned item. The phone is so expensive, not worth the headache.

The best galaxy yet!
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: Kain99
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who has owned every galaxy flagship, I have to say the S26 Ultra is the best galaxy yet! It's so light and comfortable to hold and easily the smoothest experience I've had. There's nothing the phone can't handle and with all the new Galaxy AI features there's alot of fun to be had! The battery now lasts longer which is amazing and speaks volumes for the phone!
