S26 ultra features
on September 28, 2026
Posted by: Davidbuff1979
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent phone overall: extremely fast, great display, strong cameras, long software support, and the new Privacy Display is genuinely different.
But it’s an incremental upgrade: the design, 5,000mAh battery, and much of the camera hardware remain familiar. Several reviewers specifically describe the upgrade from the S25 Ultra as modest.
Ars Technica +1
Charging is a meaningful improvement: 60W wired and 25W wireless, compared with 45W/15W previously.
Camera improvements aren't dramatic: the main and 5× cameras benefit from wider apertures, but the 3× camera remains a weak point in some testing.
Battery is still a mixed area: some reviewers get a day and a half, while others find it merely adequate for a full day.
So I'd describe the S26 Ultra as “refined and excellent, rather than revolutionary.” If you're already using an S25 Ultra, the reviews don't point to a huge night-and-day upgrade. If you're coming from an older Galaxy or another older phone the difference can be much more noticeable.

Must Have Phone
on September 28, 2026
Posted by: GalaxyShopper
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm satisfied that I chose the S26 Ultra as my new phone. I upgraded from the S23FE and I was astonished by everything. The size, graphics, performance, AI capabilities, everything. The main feature I love is privacy display, when I'm in public my stuff stays my stuff. Love it

Great experience
on September 28, 2026
Posted by: Akbakes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Galaxy S26 Ultra because I wanted a phone with amazing camera quality and plenty of cool features—and it definitely hasn’t disappointed! The photos and videos are incredibly clear, vibrant, and detailed, even in lower lighting. I’m still discovering new features, which makes the phone fun to use, and everything runs smoothly and quickly. I would absolutely choose the Galaxy S26 Ultra again and recommend it to anyone who wants a powerful phone with an outstanding camera!

S26U I chose the Gold standard
on September 28, 2026
Posted by: BeeRad777
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the S26U upgrading from the S25U. The battery life, the camera, the screen privacy control is incredible and useful. No need to buy a privacy screen. The S series has been my go to since the S1. Innovation, and that new phone feeling is back.

The best phone to upgrade to
on September 28, 2026
Posted by: CometEvan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Firstly; I want to say that this is my second time owning an ultra model phone thanks to my beloved partner ♡
Secondly; The reason why I chose this phone is because, I love samsung. Their phones are incredible and the features they've added keep rolling in with amazing reviews. The cameras, processor, color choices and size make this phone one of the best choices for a powerful, daily all rounder device.
This is easily the best phone I've gotten. I went from an S23 to an S26 Ultra (Pink Gold) and I have never been more happier with my decision.

A great phone and an office away from work
on September 28, 2026
Posted by: Aceofbwandies
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my Galaxy for everything from playing games to checking emails, but the best thing about it is how well it integrates my work life into easy to use apps.
Using Microsoft products, I can almost do everything on my phone that I would normally do in the office. This means that I never have to miss a meeting, call, or email.
The camera is amazing. I use this for hi-res images for sales and promotions for my side business. This is also a powerful device for livestreams.

Perfect Phone
on September 28, 2026
Posted by: Droidboy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung Galxy S26 ultra because of the size and features especially since it came with a stylus. The stylus comes in handy. I've have android phones in the past and this is by the far the best one I've had. Definitely recommend for those that want a reliable and fast operating system of a phone at their finger tips.

Best Phone I’ve Ever Owned — Worth Every Penny
on September 28, 2026
Posted by: Samsunglover
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra as my daily driver for a couple of weeks now, and it is easily the best smartphone on the market right now. Samsung took everything great about previous Ultras and made meaningful improvements across the board.
What I love:
Screen & Privacy Display: The display is ridiculously sharp and bright outdoors, but the built-in Privacy Display feature is a total game-changer. Being able to block side-viewing with a quick toggle while reading sensitive emails in public gives so much peace of mind.
