Now with update, it's a 5-star device
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: GalaxyGirl4Ever
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded from my beloved Galaxy Note 20 Ultra since support stopped last year. Initially had some issues, but an uodate was issued that seems to have fixed it. While I was initially not happy with dropping this much on a phone, I'm now somewhat over it. The layout is much better, as is screen resolution. While the Galaxy AI features seem cool, it's a no for me with the surveillance so I turned as much off as possible. Overall, the features I've come to love are better, faster and more intuitive. I do not understand how the eye fone crowd sticks with their non-split screen devices LOL.

Smooth Performance and Smart Features
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Mikeonmars
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using my Samsung Galaxy device daily, and it has been a very reliable and efficient experience. The performance is fast and responsive, whether I’m multitasking between apps, streaming videos, or browsing the web. The display is sharp and vibrant, making everything from social media to movies look great.
One of the standout features for me is Galaxy AI. It makes everyday tasks easier, especially when it comes to organizing content and improving productivity. The device feels intuitive and adapts well to how I use it throughout the day.
Battery life has also been solid, lasting through a full day of regular use without needing to recharge. The camera performs well in different lighting conditions and captures clear, detailed photos.
Overall, this Galaxy device combines performance, smart features, and ease of use into one well-rounded package.

S26 ultra from S24 ultra
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Stiletto
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 Ultra ha a much crisper look when reading or sending texts and email. It seems quicker than the S24 as well. The Galaxy AI is easy to access and clearly has access to many databases. Battery life is about the same as the S24. The phone looks sleeker and feels a bit lighter. The raised edges on camera lens do look like they will protect against scratching.

The product is truly the best worldwide!
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Nemrak
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed the product very much ! Being samsung fan , and staying trustworthy to my favorite company always made me to compare with other brands , which made me seen that Samsung is truly a very top-level brand! Galaxy AI is the most convenient and easy to understand even for the elder generation! The privacy Screen - that's what we really need on a daily basis, to keep strangers out of our personal information !Innovation that Samsung provides every year makes staying loyal to my favorite brand !

Great new operating system
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: GalaxyForLife
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Galaxy S26 Ultra. It's faster than the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the battery last a little longer. The Galaxy AI integrations works seamlessly. I've been really trying to crash the phone before I made this review but I've not been able to. I'm really impressed with the the camera ability as well. The camera is really versatile for a phone. The productivity apps also work great and updates across all my devices. Great job Samsung!

Privacy screen
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Gshopforlife
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been daily-driving the S26 Ultra for 3 weeks and honestly, the two things I cared about most ended up being my favorite parts: the privacy screen and the S Pen.
*Privacy screen:*
This thing is clutch. Tilt it 30° off-center and the display basically goes black for anyone next to you. On the subway or at coffee shops, I can actually reply to work chats or check banking apps without doing the awkward hunch-and-shield move. Straight-on the brightness and color don’t take a hit like some older “privacy glass” protectors I’ve tried. Trade-off is you do have to be looking at it dead-on — sharing a video with someone next to you means you both have to crowd in. Worth it for me though. Nighttime viewing in bed is fine too; no weird grainy filter effect.

*S Pen:*
Still the reason to get an Ultra. Latency is basically zero now — feels like real pen on paper, even quick notes. I use it way more than I thought I would: signing PDFs on the fly, cropping screenshots to send, and the hover translate for Japanese menus is stupid useful. The new matte coating on the nib gives it a little bite so it’s not skating across glass. Only complaint: I wish Samsung gave us a spot to dock it on the side. Top corner means I still occasionally grab the phone and realize I left the pen on my desk.

For $X it’s not cheap, but if you handle sensitive stuff in public and actually write/sketch, those two features alone make it hard to go back to a regular.

Great upgrade
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Purplelover
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from an S21 and love that it is very similar but with way better features, like Galaxy AI. I have been a bit wary of AI in general but since the phone has it integrated, there is no escaping it so mind as well embrace it. I love it so far, big plus that it is purple. I went from a purple S21 to a purple S26, I'm not obsessed I promise, okay maybe a little. Thanks Samsung for bringing purple back.

S26 Ultra
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: KAB1AZ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI seems to be improving and becoming a bit more intuitive. I love the addition of the privacy screen as well as making that feature so customizable to exact content and portions of the screen to apply it to.
