Really Great Phone
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Thanos
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this phone for a while now and it’s actually been great. I mostly use it for gaming and watching videos, and the screen looks amazing. It’s super fast and doesn't lag at all, even when I have a bunch of apps open for school stuff. The battery also lasts a long time so I don't have to worry about it dying in the middle of the day. If you want a phone that can handle a lot of gaming and still work perfectly for everyday things, this is definitely it.

S26 Ultra Review
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Ainz99
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 Ultra has been a massive improvement compared to my previous phone the S24 Ultra. The newer model has been more smoother especially when using it for daily use. New features has been enjoyable only for the S26 Ultra for example the AI is more improved that it helps me screen calls and help me with things that I need advice on from fixing something minor or just to chat. Especially my video watch and gaming have been improved from both quality and performance. Overall it's been amazing using this phone and the more I mess it the more features I'm able to use.

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.

Well worth the wait!!!
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: AJ1982
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a Samsung girly and I absolutely love this new model. From the camera to the audio, there is so much to do and oh so much more. This phone has a long battery life. I normally begin to use my phone at 6 am and do not have a need to charge it until 10 pm. Run don't walk to get this phone!!!!

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.

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 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!
