[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When the phone was first talked about I was worried.
Now that I have had it in my hands for most of the day I will say that it has been doing its job. All the Galaxy AI features are phenomenal.
The privacy display is so much better in person than shown in the unpacked event
No complaints from me

What's new in Galaxy s26 ultra
on March 7, 2026
Posted by: savboz
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the phone now for two days. The new display experience is a game changer, the new privacy display with selected notification hiding is a GAME CHANGER!
The horizontal lock of the video that I used while skate boarding , made my videos professional grade, production ready video.
I have used Galaxy AI too to add a helmet on my head in order to promote safety in my videos.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A nice step up from my s22 ultra phone. I'm anxious to try out all the AI features that my s22 did not have. Especially want to try all the photo editing capabilities. Glad I made the step to upgrade.

Samsung galaxy S26 ultra 1TB black
on March 7, 2026
Posted by: Macdelano
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a loyalist who has been with the S series since the very first Galaxy S in 2010, you’ve seen the evolution from plastic buttons and 4-inch screens to the titanium powerhouse that is the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Being in Cupertino—essentially the "backyard" of the competition—carrying the S26 Ultra is a statement. Here is a review tailored to your perspective as a long-term fan and local resident.
📱 The "Cupertino" Field Test
Living in the heart of Silicon Valley, you’re likely surrounded by iPhones. The S26 Ultra remains the ultimate "rebel" device, but this year it feels more refined than ever.
Connectivity: The S26 Ultra’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 handles the local 5G infrastructure (like T-Mobile’s 5G Advanced or AT&T’s 5G+) with ease. Whether you’re grabbing a coffee at Main Street Cupertino or walking through Stevens Creek County Park, the signal hand-offs are seamless.
Privacy in Public: The standout feature for a commuter is the Built-in Privacy Display. If you’re at a local cafe or on a shuttle, the screen uses "pixel-level privacy" to dim for anyone looking from an angle. It's built into the panel itself, so you don't need those plastic screen protectors anymore.
📸 The Camera: Seeing the Valley Differently
For someone who has used every S-series camera from the original 5MP sensor to now, the 200MP Main Sensor with the new f/1.4 aperture is a massive leap.
Low Light: The wider aperture (jumping from f/1.7 on previous models) means it pulls in significantly more

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using Samsung flagship series from 2020, and they are always the best. Reliable, best camera. In the last two years, the AI features have been super helpful for pictures and texts.
