Voice to Text Button Still Out of Reach
on March 22, 2026
Posted by: Anonymous
The new S26 Ultra continues to have the voice to text button on the left side of the keyboard, which is awkward considering most users are right handed and I use it all the time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a teacher, I used my phone to look for resources to used in my classroom. Ej. Pictures. Images, print worksheets. I take a lot of pictures of my students on a daily basis, and I received a lot of videos from my family. I communicate with my family by calls, video call, wasap, and IG. I also used chat GPT to help me with my Vpk teacher activities. And last but not least, I shop almost everything from my phone.

Feature Request:Video Frame Interpolation on Phone
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hi Samsung,
The Galaxy S26 Ultra does not feel like a major upgrade over the previous generation. There are not many standout improvements, and the move from a titanium frame to an aluminum frame makes it feel less premium.
I also feel that the privacy feature may have come at the cost of display quality, and the screen looks less impressive than the S25 Ultra. What I would really like to see instead is a video frame interpolation feature. Aside from communication, I mainly use my phone for listening to music and watching videos, so multimedia performance matters a lot to me.
Since Galaxy phones already have high-refresh-rate displays, video frame interpolation would make video playback smoother and improve the overall viewing experience.
Many other smartphone brands already offer similar features, so I hope Samsung will consider adding it as well, with an option for users to turn it on or off depending on their preference.

Fantastic photo features
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: RBphotobug
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been a galaxy fan for quite some time, and this did not disappoint. The camera is my primary interest and I'm loving all the options I can utilize on my S26 ultra and am still discovering the variety of features available! The photo editor works even better than my S22 ultra, especially with removal of shadows and reflections.
The physical size of the phone is perfect for me and easy to navigate. Battery life is amazing. I'm glad they kept the stylus, but wish it still had the remote feature on it. I used that when taking group photos.
As far as privacy features, the facial recognition works very well; better than my previous phone. I love the option of the privacy screen and that I can personalize when to use it, but I honestly haven't played with it enough to have an opinion.
I'm not as techy as some people and Galaxy has made this very user friendly which I appreciate. A friend of mine also has this phone who is very technical, and he is really happy with the upgrades this offers. Very versatile for both ends of the spectrum.
Overall it does what it advertised and performs it smoothly!

S26 ultra review
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: Bigco504
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If the S25 Ultra was a masterpiece, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is the "Collector’s Edition" that fixes everything you didn't know was broken. Released in March 2026, it doesn't reinvent the wheel—it just makes it roll smoother than ever.
The standout feature is undoubtedly the 6.9-inch Privacy Display. Using "Flex Magic Pixel" technology, it effectively blacks out your screen for anyone looking from an angle. It’s a game-changer for commuters or anyone tired of "shoulder surfers" peaking at their texts. Coupled with a 2600-nit peak brightness, it’s the most legible and secure panel on the market.
Under the hood, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 "for Galaxy" is a beast. Whether you’re gaming on Genshin Impact or juggling 20+ apps, the new cooling system keeps the titanium frame impressively chill. But the real star is Galaxy AI. From "Now Nudge"—which anticipates the photos you want to share—to the revamped Bixby agent that understands natural intent (like "stop people from seeing my screen" to trigger privacy mode), the phone finally feels like it’s thinking with you.
While the 200MP sensor remains, the f/1.4 aperture on the main lens is a massive low-light win, capturing 47% more light. Nightography video is now strikingly clean, and the 50MP 5x periscope telephoto delivers optical-quality crops that make 10x shots look native. I love my S26 Ultra.
