Completely disappointed!
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: MEISHA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The galaxy AI was about the same as my s24 ultra.
I TRIED THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S26 ULTRA TO TRADE IN MY S24 ULTRA AND I SENT THE S26 ULTRA BACK! ONE OF THE REASONS WAS GOOGLE MESSAGES WAS THE ONLY OPTION ON THERE, WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT! I CAN SEE ON A GOOGLE PIXEL PHONE, BUT THESE ARE SAMSUNG PHONES! I DOWNLOADED AN APK FOR SAMSUNG MESSAGES, BUT NOW YOU HAVE THIS PERMANENT MESSAGE THAT IT IS GOING AWAY IN JULY! I WANT THAT MESSAGE GONE TOO!
THE NEW GALAXY S26 ULTRA WAS SOOOO DISSAPOINTING!
- GOOGLE MESSAGES WAS THE ONLY OPTION
- THE S-PEN IS CURVED WITH THE CORNER OF THE PHONE SO YOU HAVE TO LOOK WHICH WAY YOU ARE PUTTING IT BACK IN, I USE MY SPEN ALL THE TIME AND IF ITS AT NIGHT I DONT WANT TO BE STRUGGLING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH WAY ITS FACING!
- IT OVERHEATED WHEN I WAS SETTING IT UP
- THEY WHEN BACK TO ALUMINUM INSTEAD OF TITANIUM LIKE THE S24 ULTRA HAS!

Posted by: Bakri00
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's very interesting device very reliable especially the speed of processing the orders and data due to unique process
Display great especially screen protector feature
Good battery but I believe if the capacity increases would be perfect
I noticed that I feel some hotness when I worked long time
I don't used all the Ai features but when I asked for something I found that feature present in my device

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use an S26 Ultra, and honestly, it's excellent for delivery work. It's fast, reliable, and has enough battery life for long shifts.
If you can invest in one, it's a very solid work tool.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone has been great. The privacy screen is a must now that I have it and cant really trade it for something else. This little machine is fast, galaxy IA helps allow with what I want to to do, super happy with my purchase.

on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Tajones
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using Samsung phones since the first s series but I'm also open to other companies cuz I love all technology. But Samsung was always my main device and I did 5 months ago start using pixels and I was going to do pixel as my device but I ended up getting the s26 ultra like 2 weeks ago and I have to say it is an amazing device and I'm glad I have it
