I recommend this phone 100%
on March 30, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this phone because I can say it finally feels smoother thanks to a faster processor and, in my case, more memory (16GB). Resolution is very good, but I recommend using the privacy screen feature for select notifications and/or apps. The camera is slightly better due to the bigger aperture on the main camera. In my case I do notice a bit more light in photos and videos, and appreciate it. The camera software is good. I understand it. In the case of the wireless charge (60 watts) I like the speed and appreciate the increase. AI is good and useful, especially, in my case now nudge and writing assist. I like the improved battery life thanks to a better more efficient processor and an optimized ONE UI 8.5. However, there are details that should have been fixed already, for example, I cannot extend the Samsung Weather widget to 4x4. This makes it difficult to read because of the small letters and numbers. I was able to extend the Samsung Weather widget to 4x4 about one or two generations ago. This can be fixed in the coming software update. One other thing I noticed and do not like is the increased screen flicker. To summarize, I fully recommend this phone. As of today, after a month as my personal device, I can say I am enjoying this phone overall. I recommend it 100%.

The battery life on this phone is amazing last all

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The privacy screen feature on this phone is 10/10. Now I don't have to worry about checking private messages or emails in public having to worry about someone looking over my shoulder.

Love the S26 Ultra
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: ScarlettRN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was needing a new phone - my S22+ was starting to show some quirks and the battery was draining fairly quickly - and I was looking at the S26 line when it was announced. The privacy screen on the S26 Ultra seemed like a pretty impressive feature, along with the larger size and the S Pen. I pre-ordered the S26 Ultra, which is the first time I've ever pre-ordered a new phone model. I've been happy with it from day one. The battery lasts forever, the privacy screen works great, and the Galaxy AI options add even more options to the already great phone. Hopefully this phone lasts as long as my S22 did!
This is my 5th or 6th Galaxy phone and unless Samsung really messes up, I intend to stay with the Galaxy line of products.

Privacy Display Makes It the Android King!
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: Redhill1974
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra doesn’t shout about a redesign — it wins by fixing daily annoyances. After a week with it, two things stand out: Privacy Display actually works, and the cameras finally deliver cleaner low-light shots without gimmicks.
Privacy Display is the headliner. It dims sensitive content from side angles, app-by-app, so you can read messages on the train without broadcasting them. It’s customizable, not a blunt filter, and it solves a real problem. The trade-off is slightly narrower viewing angles than the S25 Ultra, but for commuters and office workers, it’s worth it.
Performance is effortless thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy and a larger vapor chamber — fast, cool, and stable even in long gaming sessions. The 6.9-inch QHD+ AMOLED hits 2600 nits, adds ProScaler sharpening and more natural color via Samsung’s new image engine, and keeps S Pen support. The phone is thinner and lighter than last year, though the camera bump is undeniably bigger and wobbles on a desk.
Cameras: same 200MP + 50MP ultrawide + 50MP 5x + 10MP 3x layout, but with wider apertures (f/1.4 main, f/2.9 telephoto) that pull in 47% and 37% more light respectively. The result is brighter low-light photos, better detail retention, and more natural background separation. The 5x telephoto is noticeably more vivid, and Horizontal Lock in video keeps footage level even with shaky hands. The 3x telephoto is unchanged and feels dated, but the main and 5x lenses are genuine upgrades.

Not a lot of improvement on the camera
on March 31, 2026
Posted by: Zooqueen77
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a great phone but I was expecting huge improvements in the camera since the 23 and tbh, I haven't noticed that it is any better at all. Since the camera is the only reason I bought the phone, it was a big disappointment. Overall though, it is a great phone and the camera, still a good camera. Just not what I was personally expecting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I joined the family with Note 9 and now have the S26 Ultra. The Ultra is a freash revamp of great phone. I use it for personal and business use. The ease of set up is phenomenal. I enjoy taking pictures and creating posts on social media. I look forward to using the Galaxy AI for further enhancements.
