[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Why I Ditched the Galaxy S26 Ultra for My S23 Ultra
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is a powerhouse. With its blazing-fast Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, bright flat display, and rapid 60W charging, there is a lot to like. It is incredibly fluid, and the wider F1.4 main camera lens captures fantastic low-light shots.
But despite liking the phone, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Samsung traded genuine utility for sleek design. In its pursuit of trimming weight, it stripped away core hardware features that made older models great. Ultimately, I moved my SIM card back to my S23 Ultra. Here is why:
No True 10x Optical Zoom: The S23 Ultra has a dedicated 10x physical zoom lens that takes crisp long-range shots. The S26 Ultra drops this for a 5x lens, using AI to crop in for 10x images. In low light, the S26 Ultra’s shots look digitally softened and muddy compared to the raw physics of the S23 Ultra.
The Flat Screen vs. Premium Ergonomics: The S26 Ultra’s flat panel makes it feel boxy and rigid. The S23 Ultra’s subtle edge curves feel distinctly luxurious and blend seamlessly into the frame, providing a more immersive media experience.
Muted Display Colors: The S26 Ultra tuned its screen for "clinical accuracy." Side-by-side, it looks washed out compared to the rich contrast and vibrant, eye-popping colors that define the S23 Ultra.

The S26 Ultra
on May 27, 2026
Posted by: Fakebaddie
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am loving the S26 Ultra ever since I finally made the decision to switch from the note 20 ultra. The sound quality is amazing for watching videos and listening to music. One of my favorite features is galaxy Ai it's has been real handy on how I am able to get news articles and videos recommended to me, and being able to use Ai to translate other languages on the fly has been real nice.

With its sensitivity and screen touching.
on May 26, 2026
Posted by: CHEYROME
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new pretty galaxy ultra 25 it's cute. The sensitivity of the screen is this to touchy nor is it not where you can barely use it like most androids. Also very light weight. The camera lens takes really great photos as well. The Galaxy AI is very smart and learns you fast also.
