The Ultimate Work & School Powerhouse
on April 13, 2026
Posted by: NightShiftPro86
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded from the S23 Ultra to the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and I’m so glad I waited—this investment was worth every penny. Working night shifts at a hospital, the battery life is a lifesaver; I can stream podcasts all night long without even glancing at a charger. The new Privacy Display is a game-changer for me—it keeps nosy coworkers from seeing my screen, which is essential in a professional setting.
The S Pen is as smooth as ever, but the real star is the Galaxy AI. As a graduate student, the AI tools for summarizing long emails and assisting with complex homework have become a companion I truly cannot live without. It streamlines my workflow in a way I never thought possible.
The camera is exceptional. I captured stunning 8K videos and photos during my daughter’s birthday trip in Orlando. The stability is professional-grade, making every memory look like a movie. While I pre-ordered the 512GB model (one for me and one for my wife!), the seamless integration with my Google Cloud package gives me 5TB of space, so I never worry about running out of room for those high-res files. If you are on the fence about upgrading, do it. The "Galaxy AI" experience alone makes this phone feel like the future.

S22 Ultra to S26 Ultra Worth the Upgrade
on April 13, 2026
Posted by: JoNasty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded from the S22 Ultra to the S26 Ultra (512GB) and the difference is immediately noticeable. Everything feels faster, smoother, and more refined. The display is brighter and easier to see outside, the battery lasts longer, and the performance is on another level. The camera improvements—especially zoom and detail—are a big step up. I also appreciate the added features and overall polish; it finally feels like a true next-gen upgrade instead of a small refresh. If you're coming from an older Ultra, this one is absolutely worth it.

Battery life has made a major difference!
on April 13, 2026
Posted by: Nervebreaker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I still have an S25 Ultra and I really didn't expect to switch because I really have been happy with call screening in a pixel and was not sure how well the S26 Ultra would do in this area but it has hit all the marks! The privacy screen I use for logins, notices and bank apps and it works so well I normally forget that I have it on until I see the effects when I'm not looking dead straight at it, it keeps me another level of comfort than I was expecting.
Speaking of increased level of comfort, nothing prepared me for the impact on usable hours because of the increased efficiency of the processor combined with the large increase in charging speed, incredible difference and biggest impact day to day of any change. I did try and switch back to some of my favorite phones for a few days and I had to give them up. To me that's the "hero" feature even over the privacy screen.
The other big surprise that keeps me on the phone is the Galaxy AI features! I love taking my profile pictures and making them 3d models including shipping boxes, such fun! I even posted one on Facebook as a fake, collect the whole series of my character in different outfits like it was a comic book action feature character!
There is also a Galaxy AI feature in the Gallery app that allows me to create or change things in a dialog box that the Pixels can do because of the US state that I am in but the S26 Ultra has worked it out! A very satisfied, no a very happy customer, great job!

The Best Phone at the Wright price!
on April 13, 2026
Posted by: Steveb
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is a replacement of my S25 ultra people were saying no need to buy not enough improvements to justify it purchase. We'll they were wrong, this phone is a big improvement to my S25 ultra. From camera and additional components a noticeable improvement, AI lot's of improvements and software to go with it. Speed and battery life not to mention, feel and appearance, and ease of customization all make it AAA+++ phone. Go to YouTube to good details on using and upgrades.

Amazing phone!
on April 13, 2026
Posted by: JCinthePNW
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and very happy! Very quick. Excellent Galaxy AI. Excellent UI. And very pleased that their wasn't a lot of bloatware. Don't miss the bluetooth functionality of the SPen at all so far either. With Samsung Switch the upgrade from one phone to another was a breeze. Definitely recommend!

Good upgrade from an S23 Ultra
on April 13, 2026
Posted by: Sybaritic
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't upgrade every year (or two), so keep that in mind when reading this.
I like the better is the screen and the lighter weight. I do not like the privacy mode: it actually gives me a headache to use it. But I do appreciate having it and an option. I might use it if I had to do financial transactions in public.
I haven't intentionally used the Galaxy AI much, other than for photos. But I appreciate how well it works to select things to edit it to crop.
I am still a big fan of the sPen. I think it's great for drawing, note taking, and e-signing.
Thus far I have no regrets!
