Great features and easy setup.
on March 11, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Galaxy s26 Ultra is loaded with feature including all sorts of Galaxy AI and very easy to setup. Bixby is very helpful with bringing you to the right settings on your device. Just tell it what your looking for. With 7 years of Android and security updates, I can rely on keeping it for long time.

Small, but substantial bump.
on March 11, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where to start?
I've been using a s2* Ultra since it came out. Every year there's something so cool or groundbreaking I have to try the new one. This year was no exception. And while the s26 Ultra is not a completely new experience, it is still a substantial jump forward.
I use my Galaxy phone as my primary computer. And Galaxy AI makes it a breeze. I use the drafting and editing tools when I'm working on documents, the photo and generative tools when I'm working on visuals for presentations, and I use circle to search *all of the time!* (If you're only using it to find outfits, you're seriously underutilizing it.)
I've appreciated the extra 'snappiness' of the new chip in this iteration, and the privacy screen — and specifically how it can be modified — is a true game changer!
This is an amazing device, with truly useful features in Galaxy AI, and enough power to get just about anything you want done.
Highly recommend. (10/10)

Continue Refinement
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: SamsungKnight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having the s25 ultra in my rotation of phones I did not know what to make of the s26u. After receiving the s26u and using it. I can say without a shadow of doubt that the phone is a true refinement. The phone feels premium and nice in hand. The privacy display is real handy when in public. The software is very customizable and smooth. Everything feels very polished. The Ai features continue to make the phone great and I enjoy how things sync together with galaxy buds 4 pro, my watch Ultra and my s10 ultra tablet. I am beyond happy

Solid Phone
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: MrSamsung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 Ultra is a great upgrade from my S24 Ultra. It's a shame I can't use my S-pen for taking photos and Samsung went back to aluminum frame. But, the S26 Ultra is more efficient with the 5k battery, faster processor, and privacy screen.
I've had the S26 ultra since March 9th, and after everything I said above, I'm glad to have upgraded. Each day, I'm liking the phone more.
The Galaxy AI is solid. Each day it's improving and I'm impressed by it.

Galaxy S Series Have Come A Long Way
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been a Samsung's customer for about 10 years and an S Ultra user since the S24. And I'm not lying when I say every upgrade feels like a step towards perfection.
The design is what draws me into the new S26 Ultra this year. It balances between brand identity and ergonomics.
One UI is awesome as usual. As a tech lover who has used many other brands, I can tell that Samsung's UI is one of the most (if not the most) complete iterations of Android in the market. And Galaxy AI is the most capable proprietary AI package at the moment. I really enjoy retouching my photos with Galaxy AI.
Oh and Bixby is way better this year with the collaboration with Perplexity. It's now on my radar for everyday AI chatbot.

Great update series, with useful AI features
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: SammyConvert681
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My last samsung phone was a Galaxy S20 Ultra, which I was very happy with but wanted to try a foldable from another brand. After missing many of the useful features and Samsung ecosystem integration I was excited for the S26 Ultra. The camera is fantastic, always a major selling point, and the new AI features for photos, image generation, and the new Assitant intergrations are useful, not just a gimick. I have been using the interpreter function with the Galaxy buds 4 Pro, and it works so well its almost like magic. I appreciate the way that Gemini and Bixby work together, with Gemini handleing the generative AI functions and Bixby handling the system control and device actions. Great upgrade and I am extremly excited to use these features more.

Galaxy S26 Ultra: A Serious Upgrade in Every Way
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: RdwdEmpr
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After spending meaningful time with the Galaxy S26 Ultra, I can confidently say this device sets a new benchmark for what a flagship smartphone should be. The display is stunning with vivid, rich colors and brightness that holds up beautifully even in direct sunlight.
The camera system is where this phone truly shines. Whether capturing landscapes, close-up detail shots, or low-light scenes, the results are consistently impressive. The zoom range is exceptional and the processing speed means I rarely miss a moment.
What has genuinely surprised me is how much I rely on Galaxy AI daily. Features like live translation, note summarization, and intelligent photo editing have become tools I reach for constantly. It does not feel like a gimmick. It feels like a thoughtful extension of how I actually use my phone.
Battery life has been a strong point as well. I can get through a full day of heavy use without reaching for a charger. Build quality feels premium from every angle, and the S Pen improvements to latency and pressure sensitivity make a noticeable difference for note-taking and sketching.
If you want a device that combines best-in-class hardware with genuinely useful AI capabilities, the Galaxy S26 Ultra delivers.
