Fantastic, with a bit of disappointment
on April 10, 2026
Posted by: Muffinman
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thie new S26 ultra is fantastic. I feel like the response is an upgrade from my S24+, the picture quality is also pretty amazing. The one disappointing thing I have found so far is the stylus is no longer bluetooth and will not take pictures. Overall the phone is great. The new galaxy AI features are also pretty neat. I can't wait to take some pictures and use some of the Galaxy AI features for editing.

Amazing cameras and new AI video functions!
on April 10, 2026
Posted by: FlagFootballDad
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra is a total game-changer for video creators. The new cameras makes low-light "Nightography" look incredibly professional and crisp. Also, the new video stabilization feature acts like a built-in gimbal, keeping every frame perfectly level while filming my kids sports events. It’s rare to find a device that delivers cinematic, buttery-smooth results without any extra gear. Also the Galaxy AI editing features make this a professional-grade studio that fits right in your pocket!

Great Samsung S series 👌
on April 10, 2026
Posted by: Robreview
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Premium phone. it has all the things that you'll need in a phone. It works wonderfully. Thermals are great. Camera quality is amazing period I really love all the Samsung AI features that are built into this phone. For example, the Samsung AI stickers that you can send through Instagram are really wonderful. I went out and got this spigen case for this. And it protects it pretty well. I haven't had any scratches or dents. This is a very
well built Samsung product much like many of their product.

This product is amazing but not much new
on April 10, 2026
Posted by: Goodstuff
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 Ultra remains a top-tier choice for power users, though it emphasizes refinement over radical change. Its new elite gen 5 processor ensures that performance, from fps gaming to heavy multitasking, is flawless.
Key Takeaways:
Galaxy AI: This is where the phone shines. The upgraded Galaxy AI features like Note Assist and Photo Assist feel more intuitive, proactively suggesting edits and summaries that actually save time.
Privacy Tech: The new display technology is perfect for keeping on-screen information private from side-viewers, which is a major plus for commuters.
Hardware: The S Pen is ok, no bluetooth again which sucks! And the massive camera bump causes a significant wobble on flat surfaces. Additionally, the return to an aluminum frame feels like a slight step back in "premium" feel compared to previous titanium builds.
My Daily Usage:
Work: I use the S Pen daily for marking up digital documents and Note Assist to write brief notes during appointments.
Streaming & Movies: The 6.9-inch AMOLED screen is my go-to for watching movies and streaming content while traveling. Dude, it's fast. And the battery lasts a while during streaming.
Gaming: The device handles the most demanding mobile games with zero lag and impressive thermal management.
Photography: I rely on the AI-enhanced "Nightography" for sharp low-light photos and use the creative tools to polish images for personal projects.

Good device that deserves to be great.
on April 10, 2026
Posted by: BrutallyHonest
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The amount of additional features that are included thanks to Galaxy AI make this device very awesome. It is only lacking a larger battery because all the processing power used for Galaxy AI drains the current battery quickly.

Nice but I miss my S25U
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: siouxzi
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded because of a great offer through Samsung...
Camera is excellent as always... however... the raised lenses of the camera does make it difficult to find a slim case that I feel protects the lenses...
Same battery... although it feels like it drains quicker...
I don't really use Galaxy AI other than when I do internet search...
I'm very disappointed that I can no longer use Samsung messages...
Textra it is for now...
I have an android because I like the customization factor... with Samsung I used to be able to entirely and now I am having difficulties...
the privacy display takes getting used to...
I really like the cobalt violet color... looks good with my otterbox case...
I didnt have any of these issues with my S25Ultra... I use my phone for personal use...
