Display causes eye strain, dizziness and naseous
on March 12, 2026
Posted by: bteezy52
from Arizona
The S26 ultra causes eye strain, dizziness and nauseousness. I have had Samsun my whole life and recently the S24 Ultra for two years and have had no issues, I also have perfect vision. The display on the S26ultra is not well made or changed to cause these health issues, I am using the same settings and have adjusted setting and nothing resolves the issue. Like many on social media and Samsung forums, I will be returning the phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The best galaxy yet!
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: Kain99
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who has owned every galaxy flagship, I have to say the S26 Ultra is the best galaxy yet! It's so light and comfortable to hold and easily the smoothest experience I've had. There's nothing the phone can't handle and with all the new Galaxy AI features there's alot of fun to be had! The battery now lasts longer which is amazing and speaks volumes for the phone!

The best phone of the year
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Glytch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 Ultra is easily the best phone I've ever used. The privacy screen is one of the best features of this with no annoying glass cover on the screen or anything like that. In the AI age I have to say galaxy AI is integrated so well that it doesn't feel out of place or clunky, it just works and only when you want it. Fantastic phone.

Unexpected huge disappointment
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: Suca
from Seattle
It seems like I may be one of the few people who can’t adapt to the latest Samsung display changes. I’ve tried what I believe are all the available settings and adjustments (all privacy settings kept turned off) , but this screen consistently causes headaches, eye strain, and even dizziness with extended use.
I’ve been using Samsung phones for years, and this is the first time I’ve experienced anything like this. Unfortunately, it makes the device unusable for me.
Since I already shipped my trade-in device, my old phone is gone and I am left with an unusable device, which I’ll now have to try to sell and look elsewhere for a replacement.
I’m very disappointed with Samsung’s “improvements,” as this experience has been a major step back for me compared to previous devices
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The product did not hold a charge/defective
on March 7, 2026
Posted by: Unhappy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worst experience with Samsung! I always have had a positive experience, except on this purchase. The phone lasted me less than 24hrs. I charged it overnight and it only charged to 70 percent, in less than 2 hrs the battery was down to 20 percent. The whole time the phone is overheating, hot to the touch. I called to get the issue resolved, worst options given to solve issue/ nothing was resolved. Returned item. The phone is so expensive, not worth the headache.

I expected more
on March 17, 2026
Posted by: csaba20
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are a lot of good things to say about the phone. The battery life (and charging speed), the performance, the improved speakers, etc... But I can't help but to dwell on where it falls short. The display is clearly worse than previous iterations. Not only it's noticeably dimmer (even when privacy display is off), but it looks looks pixelated; I noticed it as soon as I turned on the phone when reading text. The fact that Samsung flagship still doesn't have built in magnets for magsafe is baffling; and they also created a technology (Qi 2.2) that practically blocks all case manufacturers from having a case that allows your phone to reach the advertised 25w magsafe charging speed consistently.
