Samsung Slowly Returning to Greatness
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Mika33
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have an S26 Ultra 1TB in Silver.
I'm a big lover of Samsung phones. They've been the only smartphone brand I've ever owned and generally I love their phones. Although the last few phones I've owned from them I haven't really been a fan of. This phone, I absolutely love already, and it's close to the greatness of what I remember Samsung phones being like.

Pros-
Display: It's bright, it's vibrant, and I have more control than ever over exactly how it looks and I love that. The privacy display is amazing. I set it up so my sensitive apps (banking and such), my notifications, and my pins and passwords auto trigger the privacy display for the portions of the screen they occupy, it's amazing.
Battery: The battery feels like it lasts longer than before, and even with 45w charging, it charges SO FAST!
Speakers: Holy COW these are loud and clear nowadays. Streaming with just the phone speakers is nice.

Cons:
S Pen: it's smaller and harder to hold, even for my small hands.
Ergonomics: I don't like how this phone feels in the hand, so I use a case to compensate.
Rounded Corners: I REALLY don't like thenrounded corners of the display, but it's a minor gripe.

Overall, I love this phone. Especially the Galaxy AI . I really haven't liked previous AI implementations, but it's actually feels useful now. Even if I don't know what the setting is, I can ask Bixby to take me to the setting by awkwardly describing it, and IT JUST WORK! It just understands. I like that a lot.

One of the best phones I've ever owned
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Hvx101
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've only had this phone a couple of days but so far this is genuinely one of the best phones I've owned from Samsung. The new design and curves feel so good in my hand. I upgraded from an S24 Ultra, and while I will miss the Bluetooth S-pen, the square frame was so uncomfortable in my hands. This has perfect rounded corners where it's not too much like other phones while still being pseudo boxy to keep a good viewing experience while watching content. Honestly while a lot of the Galaxy AI features are kind of gimmicky, I've genuinely been pleased with some of the AI features and it does make the user experience better overall. If you are looking to get ahead of the curb, this phone is the best experience to have with AI and features. At first I thought the privacy display feature was not that big of a deal, but it truly is a game changer, and I can not wait for them to bring this technology to the Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Book series, they will be instant hits with the privacy display. The only two things I could think to make this phone a true 10/10, is if samsung finds a way to make the Bluetooth S-pen work with and include true Qi2.2 support with magnets built in directly into the phone. Also, the camera island will need to change to accommodate true Qi 2.2 support as the camera island is way too close to the magnetic ring for third party accessories to work. With those two changes made you will have the best phone on the market hands down.

The new privacy screen is amazing.
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Ljemar
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which handles intensive multitasking and high-end gaming without noticeable lag. The shift toward Agentic AI makes the user interface feel more proactive. The 19% CPU improvement ensures that even the most demanding applications run smoothly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Switched from a Z Flip 6 to a S26 Ultra and I love it. Everything about it is such an upgrade. The cameras to the pen to the battery life. Everything is perfect. I love using the Ai features it makes things so easy from making a calendar date to searching something up. Over all its a great phone.

Incredible Phone
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Thommalay
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't upgrade my phone yearly, but when I saw the advertisement for the Galaxy 26 Ultra, I immediately knew I would get it, although my Galaxy S24 Ultra is still doing a wonderful job. It is a great upgrade from the 24U to the 26U. The 26U runs smoothly, and the battery is a beast. It lasts me almost 2 days, even though I am on my phone almost all the time. One thing I really like about the Galaxy 26 Ultra is the privacy screen. I can turn it on for my privacy when I do banking or need to enter my code to log in to any app. I've had the phone for just a couple of days but absolutely love it, and my family members are about to upgrade their phones to the Galaxy S26 series as well.

Reliable performance and practical features
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: UltraSaga26
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using this device for a short time, it has become a natural part of my daily routine. Everything feels fast and responsive, and switching between apps is smooth even when several are open at once. Everyday tasks like messaging, checking email, or navigating with maps work without delays.
The display stands out immediately. It is bright, sharp, and comfortable to look at for long periods whether reading, browsing, or watching videos. The larger screen size also makes it easier to work on documents or review photos.
Battery life has been dependable so far. With regular use throughout the day, including browsing, messaging, and some video playback, the phone still has plenty of power left by evening.
The camera is another highlight. Photos come out clear and detailed, and it handles different lighting situations well. The zoom feature is particularly useful for capturing distant subjects while keeping good image quality.
Overall, the device feels well designed and reliable. It handles everyday activities smoothly and offers useful features that make it easy to stay organized, capture moments, and enjoy media throughout the day.
