The only saving grace for this phone is the privacy feature. Nothing new or exciting.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I expect improvements with each new phone model, and the S26 Ultra did not disappoint. Fastr and better looking than my S23, and i finally have a stylus again for the first time since i had to return the flammable Note7. The violet color is subtle but beautiful. It's nice to have a better camera, although the phone does not lie flat with the powerful lenses protruding. My only real complaint is with the game bloatware that seemed to increase until i shut it off. Now it installs onle one new game per week, which i can easily delete.
The samsung galaxy s26 ultra. To best describe this phone is medium up grade from a 22 ultra. The s pen sucks. There no use for it. The pen feels like a toy vs 22 pen. U could take pictures with it. The phone speed is medium at best the thing worth the upgrade is the privacy mode.
The Screen is bright and colorful, also flat (is better) and not curved like my previous S23 ultra. The cameras are very good in now light, and the quality of the phone is super nice. I also love how fast it is in the apps and games, also the battery last a lot.
