Love this phone
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Sjtiernan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the phone as an upgrade from my s21 ultra and it is so much better. The camera is awesome, the editing is great using the galaxy ai features. I had clutter in the background of my dog and it made it dissappear and you couldnt even tell. The biggest downside and why I only give 4 stars is the fact that the s pen isn't Bluetooth like they used to be. It would be great to be able to use the pen to take photos from a distance like my note used to before the s21. Over all It's a good phone.

Love the phone but the camera bump sucks
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Leviathan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using my new phone for just over a week now and love nearly everything about it. The battery lasts all day without having to turn on power saving. The privacy screen is finally something new and innovative(I have mine set to turn on for notifications and banking apps), but it isn't as strong as a privacy screen protector. I do prefer it though for the fact you can turn it on and off whenever. My biggest gripe is the camera bump. Why make a phone thinner just to add a camera that sticks out so much that putting a case on still causes it to wobble on a flat surface. I haven't tried taking too many photos yet but the increased apeture definitely helps with the zoom and night photos.

Great new AI features
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: KornSquabble
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After spending some quality time with the Galaxy S26 Ultra, I finally feel like we’ve hit the point where "AI" isn't just a marketing buzzword—it’s actually making my life easier.
If you’re thinking about upgrading, here’s my take on why this thing is a beast, especially when it comes to the new Galaxy AI features.
The Hardware: Still the King of Screens
First off, the hardware is exactly what you’d expect from an Ultra. It’s got that premium titanium feel, but the real star is the new 6.9-inch Privacy Display. If you’re ever out in public and don't want the person next to you reading your texts, this is a lifesaver. It’s crystal clear from the front but goes dark from the side.
The camera is still top-tier, too. I’ve been messing around with the 5x optical zoom and the low-light video, and the clarity is honestly wild.
Where Galaxy AI Actually Wins
I’ll be honest, I was skeptical about "Agentic AI," but it’s the most useful part of the phone.
Now Nudge: This is the feature I use the most. It’s spooky-smart. It’ll see I’m talking about a meeting and automatically pull up my calendar or suggest a document I was just looking at.
AI Photo Assist: I’m not a pro photographer, but the generative editing makes me look like one. Being able to just "describe" a change—like "make the sky more sunset-orange"—and having it happen instantly is a total flex.
Performance: Even with all these AI background tasks running, the Snapdragon 8 Elite keeps everything buttery smooth. I have

Amazing Upgrade
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: SamsungRain
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After having the Galaxy S23+ 5G for 2 years, it was time for an upgrade. The Galaxy S26 Ultra has an amazing camera and the new privacy display takes it to a whole new level. The rounded corners makes the phone comfortable to hold and I love the rose gold color. The Galaxy AI is helpful especially when I want to edit my pictures right from the gallery. Overall, I don't have any complaints. Always will be Team Samsung!!.
