on July 28, 2026
Posted by: Starrman
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just upgraded from a Galaxy S21 Ultra. Wow!! The new S26 Ultra is super cool! MAJOR upgrade from S21 Ultra. The Galaxy AI features are endless. There is so much AI can offer and content you can customize to you life . They camera is outstanding! The camera is very responsive and the zoom is amazing. I am very impressed with speakers and sound quality. Also conversations are clear and crisp. The other party can hear me speak much better! All around a great phone!

Awesome powerhouse phone with 1 flaw!
on July 28, 2026
Posted by: NotJustAnyDad
from Tampa, FL
The S26 Ultra is a lightweight power house that remains cool in almost every situation. The screen is crisp, bright and vibrant as usual. I appreciate how light One UI has become and the integration with the native Google platform. Dex is really handy when I need to connect to a large display and get some work done, yes I still use it on occasion. Privacy display auto enabled in my banking apps is AWESOME!
The phone multitasks like a pro! I can watch YouTube while streaming music to a different devices and surf all at the same time without any hiccups. It's fast and smooth to use.
Powerhouse phone that takes amazing high resolution photos and videos but doesn't have the memory to match, more on that later. The camera is fast to load and takes photos in an instant. Night time photos are really good and with some tweaking and steady hand can push to excellent. Photos of groups with many different shades of skin tones at night are not flattering to those with darker skinned complexion. Most cameras do not get this right nor does the autocorrect do a great job of fixing it. I find that I have to manually make those adjustments.
Battery life is amazing I could go the whole day without charging, turn off sync while traveling and it really lasts.
Though it's like it does feel ridged and tough enough to handle daily use, I slapped a think cheap good looking case on it and after many drops no issues.
The cost of memory is a joke, the camera features grown the size of the information stored in each photo can be huge but those that take a lot of photos and videos have to depend on cloud storage. That's great if you're able to sync without issue but as a global traveler it SUCKS!!! I took a couple of 8k videos at the start of a 3 week trip but the 2nd week my memory was full everyday I was waiting until I got to the Airbnb to sync and delete. Bring back the note with expandable memory, IR blaster and headphone jack. LET ME decide how to use a powerhouse phone. For the first time in 15 years I'm considering another brand! I'm not a pro photo guy but I take a lot of photos and videos. My daughters are athletes so getting highlights for them takes up a lot of space.

so many features!
on July 28, 2026
Posted by: ann3271
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are so many features with this ph it's going to take me awhile to learn them all. With it having the GalaxyAI it will make it easier.
The sound is amazing, picture quality is outstanding, I can't wait to start using the picture editor! Video and game clarity are awesome! Easy to switch between different tasks! I can't wait to use even more of the features!
You really need to get one, you won't be disappointed!

Aimed for the stars, and hit a galaxy.
on July 27, 2026
Posted by: Redline
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far the most versatile phone I have ever had. Whether I play a game, watch something, listen to music, or just want a photo, this phone delivers. The performance is stellar, not breaking a sweat from some of the most demanding titles. The screen is crisp, showing remarkable detail when watching media. The quality is clear when streaming music, with no issues connecting. And the camera, oh my, the camera is unbelievable. You can take your phone out, aim, and capture an unbelievably crisp and clear moment, regardless of light.
Galaxy AI is a huge perk. Not only can my phone greet me now with a recap and weather statement, but it even logs where I've parked my car and pins it to my home screen. Not to mention the fun stuff like weather synced wallpapers, image effects and the way you type a message.
The appearance is truly great as well. My phone is finished in black and yet even a flat color like that somehow pops. The camera stack is visually appealing and there is minimal screen border to give a large display.

Privacy Screen
on July 27, 2026
Posted by: Mommaj
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this device so much! One of my favorite aspects of the Galaxy AI is the privacy screen! That has not been an option previously. With teens it's a must!

Slightly better than S23 Ultra
on July 27, 2026
Posted by: Buddywoof
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are some new Galaxy AI features compared to the S23 Ultra but overall, the gain isn't worth the money IMO. I find the AI tools mostly useless. The display on the S23 Ultra is actually crisper and brighter IMO compared to the S26 Ultra. The only reason I upgraded was because I shattered my screen on the S23 Ultra and needed a new phone.

The hot new thing
on July 27, 2026
Posted by: Geekygnome72285
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the s25 ultra but it was very short lived when I destroyed it at work without insurance. I've finally paid that device off and bought the upgraded version in this s26 ultra. I'm excited to try the new galaxy Ai features as well as the translation and photo editing upgrades. I've always been a Samsung user but the note/ultras have always been my go to.
