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
Posted by: Samsung4life23
[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.

S26 Review
on March 16, 2026
Posted by: Pjg2166
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 Ultra is very nice coming from the S24 Ultra.
The only issue In having is the face unlock. It takes very long to recognize and unlock.
Otherwise very happy.

Solid option!!
on March 16, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I think the Galaxy S26 Ultra is one of the best Android phones out right now. It has an excellent display, strong performance, and great battery life, though a couple of design choices might bother some people.On the positive side, the 6.9‑inch AMOLED screen looks fantastic with its 120 Hz refresh rate, and the new privacy display feature is useful if you don’t want others seeing your screen from the side. The camera system is also very impressive: the 200 MP main sensor, better low‑light performance, and stable video (with a horizontal lock option) make it great for photos and videos. Day‑to‑day performance is fast and smooth thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Elite for Galaxy, whether you’re gaming, multitasking, or using AI features. Battery life is strong as well; the 5,000 mAh battery, combined with 60 W wired charging and wireless charging, comfortably gets through a full busy day. I also really like that it keeps the built‑in S Pen in a slimmer, lighter body, which makes it more comfortable to use for notes and editing.There are a couple of drawbacks. The privacy display can make the screen look a bit washed out and reduces viewing angles, which isn’t ideal if you often show your screen to others. Also, even though 5,000 mAh is solid, it’s the same capacity you see in some cheaper phones, and there’s still no magnetic charging option, which feels like a missed opportunity on a premium “Ultra” device. Love the Galaxy AI features!

Lightning fast!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone for daily organization, social media, and watching videos (mostly YT). I started to use the Galaxy AI on my last phone, and it was OK, but it's soooo much better on the S26 Ultra!

The features are great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone is amazing! Especially how they implemented the the Galaxy AI into the system. It allows for fast and reliable searches when you see a product you're interested in or want to know more about. The Galaxy AI also help when it comes to writing no matter what scenario it might be for, either that being a family gc, work emails, and so much more!
