Good phone but not worth upgrading from s24 ultra

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone is nice but not much different than my s24 ultra. The S24 ultra had a sturdier titanium build, a Bluetooth S pen and surprisingly a better display. The color looks less vibrant than the s24 ultra. The S24 ultra had this color issue when it came out and Samsung fixed it with an update. They need to do the same with the S26 ultra. The camera is more or less the same. And the camera bump makes it that with a case laying in its back it wobbles as opposed to the s24 ultra with the case on it I can lay it flat on its back. The privacy display does hide that much when it is on and when you put it on maximum it makes the screen look grey when looking straight at it. The Galaxy AI features are more or less the same as well. Overall Im disappointed. I give the phone 3 stars because it is a good phone but compared to the s24 ultra its not with the money foe the upgrade. It feels like more of a downgrade. Wait for the next one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have had the new s26 ultra for about 5 days now and so far im very impressed .Feels good in your hand not too big not too small super easy setup easy to navigate and so far the new Galaxy AI is like none other on the market. The things you can do with photo editing is amazing with just a simple command. What I've used it for the most so far is probably the summarizing rather than having to read a whole page it puts together a summary for me of the highlights and the important things then reads it out loud which is way cool and helpful. It can translate calls and texts in real time on demand. It's literally like having a secretary/ personal assistant in your pocket 24/7 and that's just scratching the surface of what this thing can do like I said I've only had it 5 days can't wait to get more efficient with it. Very happy with my purchase . A++
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use Galaxy AI to give me a brief in the morning before I go to work, and throughout my day as a mechanic. It also helps me with looking up items and so forth. I also use the spelling and grammar check feature quite a bit as well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All around very good phone. However we need more innovation to differentiate between last year model.
Not sure what is it. But I'm impressed by the screen, things specially video really pop colors. Also, camera also is looking better than last year. Galaxy AI features i like the automatic call screening specially to deal with potential spam calls. Also video stabilization is awesome. I also think galaxy AI feature i use a lot is to remove things from photos, it does a great job. Also use the AI feature to rewrite email responses, makes me look like a pro.
Missing the bluetooh spen features and wish we can have a sd card slot.
Nice physical features and love the privacy screen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The physical features are great and the quality of my pictures definitely have improved. I do enjoy how easy it is to get more information on a picture just by circling it using Galaxy AI to pull more related articles. Another perk to this upgrade are how smooth the graphics are and the speed of how the programs run.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am thoroughly impressed with the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s build quality; it feels like a precision instrument in the hand. The new frame and refined ergonomics provide a secure, high-end grip, making the phone a joy to use throughout the day. Every interaction, from the crisp haptic feedback while typing to the balanced weight of the device, screams premium engineering. It’s easily the most comfortable "Ultra" model I’ve ever owned. The standout feature for me, however, is the Privacy Display. As someone who is often on a bus, in a coffee shop, or catching a flight, being able to shield my screen from "shoulder surfers" is a game-changer. The technology is seamless—it keeps my information completely private from side angles without sacrificing vibrant display quality. It provides a level of peace of mind for my personal data that I didn't realize I was missing until now.
