More Galaxy AI features than I expected!
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: WascallyWabbit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The most notable thing as I activated this phone was how many Galaxy AI features there were - much more than in the S25. In truth, there are more AI features than I have time to play around with. This phone anticipates my needs on various screens and offers me quick links to navigate me to where I need to go. I like simple things like the font. Moving my data/settings/info from my old Galaxy was very simple and straightforward since this new phone was preloaded with the app to facilitate the transfer of info and came with a cable to connect my old phone to this new phone (didn't have to go looking for a cable to connect them). All the data transferred very quickly.
One negative: with the camera lenses being so big and bulky, the phone does not sit flush/flat when laid down on a surface so it wobbles back and forth when you type or touch the screen to do anything. You have to hold the phone with your other hand to avoid the wobble. I decided to buy a stand to hold the phone which allows me to input data/use the phone for brief periods throughout the day without having to pick it up and not feel that annoying wobble.
The phone feels light in my hand. The screen seems fairly fingerprint resistant.
If I had to sum up how I feel about this phone, I would say: I LOVE IT!

I'm so glad I switched
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Fanatic26u
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly, I am so glad I finally made the switch to the S26 Ultra. If you’ve been on the fence, let me tell you—the hype is actually real this time.
First off, the display is just gorgeous. Coming from the s24u, the brightness and the colors on this thing are insane. But what’s actually cool is the new privacy screen, it’s one of those "options" you didn't know you needed until you had it. I can scroll through my stuff in public and the person next to me can't see a thing. It’s super slick and makes the whole experience feel way more premium.
I’m usually skeptical about "AI" features, but Galaxy AI is surprisingly helpful. It’s not just gimmicks it actually makes the phone feel faster and helps out with little things like editing photos or organizing my day. It’s like the phone is actually thinking ahead for once.
My Favorite Part though is the camera.
It's the absolute winner for me. It is easily my favorite part of the whole upgrade.
I’ve been taking shots that look like they came off a professional DSLR. It picks up light in places where my eyes can barely see.
Even when I'm zoomed way in, the quality stays sharp instead of turning into a pixelated mess.
I’m seriously impressed. If you're looking for a reason to upgrade, the camera alone makes it worth it.

It's beast of a phone,packed with amazing features
on March 14, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 Ultra features the first-ever built-in Privacy Display.
No More Peeping: You can limit the viewing angle so that people next to you (like on a bus or elevator) can’t see your screen.
It can automatically turn on for sensitive tasks, like when you're entering a PIN or password.
PRO-LEVEL CAMERA UPGRADES with a Massive 200MP Sensor: The main camera now has a wider f/1.4 aperture, which lets in nearly 47% more light than the S25 Ultra for much better night photos.
It features a quad-camera system, including a 50MP periscope lens with 5x optical zoom and 10x optical-quality zoom, also with a wider aperture for clearer long-distance shots.
THE AI MAGIC got Photo Assist tools it allow me to describe changes in plain English—like asking to "change my outfit" or "restore a missing piece of a cake" in a photo—and the AI does it instantly.
It got the Fastest Processor: It runs on the custom Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, delivering 39% faster AI performance and 24% better graphics for gaming.
Despite the power, it’s the slimmest Ultra yet at just 7.9mm thick, with more rounded corners for a more comfortable grip. It now supports Super Fast Charging 3.0, reaching a 75% charge in just 30 minutes.
Samsung is promising 7 years of security and OS updates, meaning this phone will stay current until 2033.
Durability: It uses Titanium or Armor Aluminum frames (depending on the region/model) and Corning Gorilla Armor 2 for elite scratch and drop resistance.
