Privacy and Power in a Sleek Package
on March 24, 2026
Posted by: Jesuszp94
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the new Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, and while it looks familiar, the experience is a major step up. It feels like a tool designed for real-world use rather than just a spec sheet.
The standout feature is definitely the new Privacy Display. It’s impressive how it blocks side-view "snoopers" in public while staying crystal clear for me. It’s a feature I didn’t know I needed until now.
The Highlights:
Galaxy AI: Features like Now Nudge are game-changers. The keyboard now suggests photos or events based on my chats, which really speeds up my day.
Low-Light Camera: The wider aperture on the 200MP sensor makes night shots look much more natural with significantly less noise.
Performance: The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is a beast. Even during heavy video editing or gaming, the improved cooling keeps the phone from getting hot.
Points to Note:
Brightness: The Privacy Display makes the screen slightly less "punchy" than previous models, a small trade-off for security.
Design: It’s lighter and more comfortable to hold, but the camera bump is still quite large, making it a bit wobbly on a desk without a case.
Charging: 60W is an improvement, but I’d love to see even faster speeds for a battery this size.
Verdict: If you’re upgrading from an older model, the jump is massive. The privacy features and AI fluidity make it a top-tier choice.

A BEAST of a phone. The S26 Ultra is fantastic!
on March 24, 2026
Posted by: Steven
I've had all the Samsung Note phones since the original, and then all the S Series when they were combined. I only skipped the S25 Ultra.
I traded in my S24 Ultra for the S26 Ultra.
The S26 Ultra is absolutely a BEAST! This phone is so fast. The display is absolutely gorgeous. Of course the privacy screen washes out the colors a bit. That's going to be expected. But you get amazing privacy, especially on full.

The cameras are fantastic too. They take such good videos and photos. You don't need a dedicated camera with this. I'm still figuring out the best settings and ive had my S26U for just over 2 weeks. They are beautiful shots.
The battery life is definitely better than the previous phones. And I can usually get about 15+ hours of semi heavy use.
The phone seems very durable and I love how thin it is. The phone is just a power house. It's so snappy. I highly, highly recommend the Galaxy S26.
A few things I wish were different.
Samsung, PLEASE bring back the Bluetooth S-Pen. That's is a huge feature, and I would say 90%+ use the Bluetooth S-Pen for taking pictures and videos. That was what stopped me from upgrading from the S24U to the S25U.

This phone does have more rounded corners. It's a huge difference between the S24 and S26.
Personally I love the corners on the S25U.
It's a perfect balance between.

Also, please bring back the smart view cases. Ive seen tons of people who want them back. Every Galaxy phone I've had has had a S-View case. They are amazing.
Lastly, can we please get an upgraded battery with the S27? Even a 5000mah with the newer battery tech would do. Or higher than 5000mah. That would be great.
The S Ultra series are for those of us who love using our phones for productivity, games, movies, etc. A bigger or better battery would be amazing.

Overall, if you're wanting a new phone. The GALAXY Series is where it's at. Especially the S26 Ultra.
Hands down the best phone ever!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As always the phone is great. Functions better,lighter in weight, fast processing, etc. The new features are amazing but coming from the s24 ultra and losing the Bluetooth s pen is a downer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm particularly happy with the new camera improvements, having upgraded from the S23 Ultra. Galaxy AI and the actual camera hardware are a huge leap forward!
