[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The speed of the camera is faster, the camera takes profesional pictures and the speaker is louder. Over all, it's the beat phone out there. The new AI in the S26ultra is awesome!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Device is great and packed with great features. The intuitive Galaxy AI helps shorten my daily routines. Love the camera! Only gripe is the switch from titanium to aluminum. The phone is very fragile. Invest in a quality case.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the camera. I can take great pictures and make amazing videos with ease. I use it for a few tasks at work and it is very fast. Love the S Pen as well. It connects really fast with other Samsung devices and most branded android as well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy AI is very useful when deleting unwanted items from photos. Overall the Galaxy series has been a great phone to have. The one downfall is Samsung removing the SMS text feature from the S26. The protective cases are better especially the UAG having a clip on the back the can be used for a stand and a way to hold onto the phone while taking pics.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI has been a genuinely useful feature in my day-to-day use. I use my Samsung device for work, streaming, photos, and staying organized throughout the day. The phone is fast, the screen looks great, and the battery holds up well. Galaxy AI adds features that actually feel practical instead of gimmicky, especially for helping streamline everyday tasks. Overall, it has been reliable, easy to use, and packed with features that make the experience better.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is beautiful and super functional. I especially love the camera and the security screen.
I have been using Samsung products for many years, originally with the galaxy note line, and now a few generations of the ultra series - 22, 24 and now 26. Don't get me wrong this phone is a powerhouse, the battery is better, the cameras are great, screen is very nice, it is nicely built/durable (after you get used to the massive camera bump) and I find the privacy display to be quite useful. I don't use the AI features as much but more and more a creeping into my daily workflow. The phone excels in everything that I need a phone to do, and I am sure for every person buying this phone, your experience will be the same. But it's the moments away from doing every day tasks well that make me miss my prior phones - the spark of "ultra" just seems to be gone.
Bluetooth S pen features have been the biggest missed component to this phone for me, especially coming from an S24. Experimental features seem to have been traded for stability and a more grounded experience, which is great again for daily use, but for me as someone who every now and again enjoys expanding the use of my expensive pocket computer this is noticeably absent in this device. This phone is very good, but to me it just isn't ultra anymore, and I hope newer generations bring back niche hardware features and breaks the mold more like the previous phones did, and truly provide something no other phone has (or at least just bring back the Bluetooth S pen features).
I still recommend buying it if you need a workhorse.
