23 ultra to 26 ultra
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: Happycustomer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been excited to update my phone and when the 26 came out and it was time. The features are wonderful and very similar to the 23 Ultra. I only wish you didn't have to turn on the quote unquote extra information and labs and features. I love that there is the opportunity to use perplexity as your browser and as your Bixby substitute.
The camera lenses are larger but I don't notice any difference between the 23 and the 26th as far as camera quality and picture quality goes.

Amazing Device
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: GalaxyUser
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Uprading from S21+, this is a huge jump for me and I have only positive things to say about the device. The cameras are excellent, the zoom, the video, pro features are all excellent for an avid photographer. The display is as usual, which is top class from Samsung add with that the privacy display feature which I find useful for certain applications.
The Galaxy AI features are also fun to use and in some cases quite useful in day to day life. This thing is also super snappy, I have experienced no lag and it handles high graphic games without a sweat. The battery life on standy is great thanks to the new chip, I am comfortably getting by my day with heavy use. Overall a solid device.

No more awesomeness from samsung.
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a samsung user for more than 15 years I have been enjoying all the changes and the improvements that Samsung has offered. Until now.
Since last galaxy s25 I have seen lack of improvements. More problems to conect to devices that are not Samsung brand, hard to make an android system from a car to conect, the camera has an amazing zoom but the transition from one camera to another one is rough. Less futures with the spen, overall the phone feels cheap.

Upgrade from S20+
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: MrSunshine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Moved from older Galaxy S20+ to S26 Ultra. So far there's a significant battery and processor upgrade. Current battery usage is much more efficient. The S20+ new, would still need to be charged everyday. So far, the S26 Ultra charge is every other day with same usage. Privacy mode is interesting feature, I still chose a privacy screen protector because the privacy mode strains my eyes. I have not used Galaxy AI as much, I do avoid constant and forced AI features if possible

Ultra Upgrade, S26 Just Hits Different
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: CyberTechGuy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgrading from the S23 Ultra to the S26 Ultra feels like a true leap forward, not just an incremental update. The first thing you notice is how much lighter it is. It’s immediately more comfortable to hold, especially during long use, which surprised me with this phone not having the curved edge. Samsung really nailed the balance between premium build and everyday usability.
The display is another standout. It feels incredibly durable while still being ultra-responsive. Scrolling, gaming, and even simple navigation feel smoother and more precise, like the phone is always one step ahead of you. It’s one of those upgrades you don’t realize you needed until you experience it. There's absolutely zero input lag.
And the camera is honestly on another level. The clarity, detail, and color accuracy are unreal, whether you’re shooting in daylight or low light. It turns everyday moments into something that looks professionally captured. You even lose the super grainy or blurry results from zooming in to capture your far away shots.
Overall, the S26 Ultra doesn’t just improve on the S23 Ultra—it refines nearly every part of the experience in a way that feels meaningful day-to-day.
