[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this is the first phone I've bought where I can honestly say the new features are easily accessible and easy to use. there are a few hidden features you have to dig around for but they don't make you jump through hoops for the more useful ones. its a new phone that actually feels like a new phone, not your old phone wrapped in a new skin with one or two added changes. phones aren't ment to last forever the parts get old through time regardless of how carefully you take care of it. if you've been waiting a while for an upgrade worth spending your money on this would be my pick. you can find build specs many other places if that's what your interested in but if your in the reviews you want to know it's safe take the gamble and you won't regret this. the battery is ridiculously good the speaker is okay my s23 ultra was much louder and clearer but its a phone not a megaphone get ear buds or a speaker if you need more volume. picture quality is quite nice and the screen can get brighter then you'll probably ever need it to be. at its core its a good phone that just works.

Great phone overall
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: BLNCE8
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 26 Ultra runs smooth as butter. It feels comfortable in the hands because of the rounded corners. The camera is amazing, point and shoot certified if you don't want to work too hard for a good picture but if you want more control you can control absolutely everything about the photo you're taking with the controls they have available. Galaxy AI runs so seamless in the background I sometimes take it for granted. Only thing I can say needs some improvement is the built in privacy display. It works as intended just can't wait to see how it improves in the future.

Love the new AI Features and Super Steady Video
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: IloveSamsung4Life
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Galaxy AI features that allow you to make changes in multiple apps is great. I'm able to ask it to create a calendar event from an event on my screen or even a photo of a flyer someone sent me. In addition I love the super steady camera. It makes taking videos a breeze as it stays locked on the horizon and is no longer moves when I accidentally bump into someone while taking video.

Posted by: UnwantedTuck
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The use of Galaxy AI has helped so much with my content creation and the new privacy screen absolutely delivers. I'm really loving how customizable the privacy screen settings are. I switched from an S23 to the 26 Ultra and im just blown away.
