Big upgrade from S24 Ultra
on March 21, 2026
Posted by: AGrabs100
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Noticeable difference in how the phone runs from my S24 Ultra. It is sleek. Feels great. Does everything I need my phone to do.

So so (1500 chars not enough for good review))

Posted by: SammyFanSteve
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start by saying I upgraded to the S26 ultra from an S24 ultra. Overall I’m not impressed. I’m guessing the tech change curve is slowing down and two years doesn’t get you what it used to. Neither cpu, screen, battery, nor camera improved as much as between my S20 to S22 nor my S22 to S24.
While I notice a slight increase in speed it isn't leaps and bounds better.
I was really disappointed that the display was NOT 10bit as originally touted. Hoping to see what difference it would have made. While display is a bit brighter the adaptive brightness still doesn’t work for me. Samsung needs to allow the user to adjust it. IE set minimum/maximum over which it adjusts. And the privacy display is a nice gimmick but not worth the loss of screen brightness.
One of my biggest complaints is with the camera bump out. If you lay phone down on desk it rocks something fierce. Perhaps Samsung can look at rotating it 90 degrees and center it vertically across the top edge of the phone. The camera larger aperture has improved pictures in low light slightly. Camera tech has maxed out and only increasing pixel count and improving optical zoom are left. AI can't fix this you just can’t create accurate picture content that wasn’t captured to start with.
As for the AI it seldom suggests things I find useful.
Please bring back Spen remote picture taking.
Overall I’m still a Sammy fan and will most likely buy again, though I may wait three years next time. Had more to say but not enough roo

New S26 Ultra
on March 21, 2026
Posted by: Baker7Alpha
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Traded in my trusty S24 Ultra for my new S26 Ultra. It's a beauty- Silver 512 GB.
Received a nice deal, thanks Samsung.
The screen is very clear and bright. Love the new UI, better than I imagined. The battery outlasts my day.
I've been dabbling with the AI photo editing. Have to say it's pretty amazing. I've tried out the privacy screen, though I'm retired so won't use it a great deal though nice to have it. Overall, I'm pretty pleased. Been a Samsung Galaxy customer for over 20 years. Moved over from my Motorola Droid days of yore . Now I'm a Samsung customer for life- TV; sound bar: Galaxy watch and now my S26 Ultra!
Thank you Samsung!

Posted by: DRManey69
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy S26 Ultra is a really good phone. I don't do a lot of extra stuff on my phone, but I still love it. Pictures I take are great. When on a call I can hear everything really well. Just overall a great phone.
