An Ultra upgrade
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: GARRETT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have recently upgraded from an S23 Ultra, and I must express that this new device represents a significant enhancement. The Galaxy AI features are particularly beneficial and highly effective for managing multiple tasks, setting alarms, taking notes or even editing photos. Also, the night mode on the camera is quite impressive, especially when capturing moments in low-light conditions.

Smooth performance and lighter than previous model
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Techuser26
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Galaxy S26 Ultra for daily activities like streaming videos, browsing the web, and taking photos. The device feels very smooth and responsive, and the performance is noticeably faster compared to older versions of the Galaxy Ultra series.
One thing I immediately noticed is that the phone feels lighter and more comfortable to hold, which makes it easier to use for long periods. The display is bright, sharp, and great for watching movies or playing games.
The camera quality is excellent, producing clear photos with good detail in different lighting conditions. I also like how Galaxy AI helps improve photos and makes everyday tasks easier.
Overall, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is a great upgrade with smooth performance, a premium design, and useful features for everyday use.

I wish there was more to the unbox Experience
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Felippe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded from the Galaxy S23 Ultra to the S26 Ultra, and overall I’m very happy with the device. The phone feels lighter, more modern, and beautifully designed. I chose the gold version that was available online, and it looks amazing — honestly, I think this color should also be available in stores because it’s stunning.
That said, I feel like I have only explored a small fraction of what the phone can do — probably not even 20%. Coming from the S23 Ultra, it’s actually hard to immediately spot what the major differences are in daily use. I know the device is more powerful and that there are many new AI capabilities, but it isn’t always clear how to discover or leverage them.
I think Samsung could greatly improve the onboarding and unboxing experience. For example, when someone upgrades, the phone could highlight: “You came from this device — here are the 5 new things you should try first.” Even small suggestions over the first few weeks like “Try this feature today” would help users explore the innovations you’ve built.
AI is especially important here. Samsung talks a lot about AI features, but AI is still new to most people. Users don’t always know how to use these tools or how they can improve everyday tasks. I’m personally a big AI enthusiast and early adopter — I use Gemini extensively for work — and I would love to see clearer guidance on how the Galaxy AI can act as a true assistant or co-pilot, not just for personal tasks but for productivity as well.
