I see some articles about customers complaining that the screen is not as clear as it's supposed to be. I also saw it more faded than my previous phone, S23 Ultra. So I went to Settings > Display > turn off Adaptive color tone > Screen mode > choose Vivid > Advanced settings > set Vividness to high (only three levels). This improved the screen appearance to a satisfactory level.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy ai is legit, makes doing things a breeze. Adding sporting events two months out was super easy thanks to the Galaxy AI. I wish the S pen was easier to pull out once there is a phone protector in place. Phone felt a little too bulky for me. I switched back to the plus. It's definitely lighter, but I do miss the awesome camera that comes with the Ultra.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love google Gemini both texting and talking to it, it's mind blowing how well it responds to my questions and even remember details of our past conversations for future questions related to the same thing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an owner of the S26 Ultra, I can say it’s easily one of the most complete smartphones I’ve used. The performance is consistently smooth, whether multitasking, gaming, or handling heavy apps. The camera system stands out—sharp images, great low-light performance, and impressive zoom that actually feels usable in real life. Battery life is solid for a full day of heavy use, and the fast charging helps top up quickly when needed. The display is another highlight—bright, crisp, and very fluid, making everything from scrolling to watching content feel premium.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this phone. It is bigger than my last galaxy. Better pictures and great graphics. I use the Galaxy AI frequently and am very satisfied with the results. The data transfer was seamless and the use of e Sim instead of physically replacing the Sim card made the first use much easier. Love the purple color. Thanks
I have always had Samsung phones, I'm talking since Edge and before. I purchased my first note over ten years ago, and have been hooked on the S pen since. Even when I had a Z Flip I always kept an Ultra as it is a premium phone in my opinion. I say all that to get to (Samsung if you're listening) the sub par S pen with the S26 Ultra. I am coming from the S24 Ultra which I absolutely love and has the Bluetooth S pen. I am really interested as to why this feature would be removed from the star of the show. For everything that was upgraded--I do love the privacy screen--why remove this? Add it back and keep it or improve UP, not down. It is the only thing so far that I feel slightly regretful for as I loved it for pics. Now that my S pen rant is over, the phone is fantastic! Noticeably lighter than the S24 Ultra, and I'm not mad at the rounded edges. Camera, AI, Display, great improvements! I think I'll go ahead and finally pack up the S24 Ultra as the other upgrades outweigh my S pen disappointment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me set the scene. I stood in that store, phone in hand, and talked myself out of it at least a dozen times. Put it back. Picked it up. Put it back again — and that's not counting the hours spent adding it to my preorder cart online, removing it, and adding it back. I'm a single mother, MSW student, and small business owner. Spending money on myself feels basically illegal. Buyer's remorse always wins and everything goes toward my son. Except this time. I bought it anyway. My only regret is the energy I wasted being dramatic about it.
I need a phone that keeps up with me and that is not a small ask. Between my son's specialized needs, running a business, surviving grad school, and a calendar that looks like a Tetris game someone is actively losing — I needed a device that does not quit. This one does not quit. The camera alone justifies everything. I photograph constantly — work, school, and every moment with my kid I refuse to let blur into a forgotten memory. Low light, fast motion, close-ups, wide shots. It just works. Every single time. Galaxy AI has genuinely saved my brain — summarizing, organizing, keeping me focused when I have seventeen things pulling at me mentally and emotionally. Which is always. Still finding new features days later. Battery lasts all day. Screen is gorgeous. Zero complaints. Five stars. Buy the phone. Stop talking yourself out of it like I did!
