Poor speaker quality compared to S25 Ultra. Sounds like a cheap phone you buy at Walmart. Not impressed. Starting to go backwards with quality. Wish I had just stuck with S25 Ultra.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung S 26 Ultra twenty has been a joy getting to know the Galaxy AI works flawlessly so far. The time to shine has everything I need to catch up on my activities for the day. Out of all the galaxy phone I've had this is the best.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I transition from a 23 ultra to the 26 ultra. I can say it was worth the wait. It has been so smooth using my phone on a day to day. I am excited to try out more of the features especially the camera functions with my kiddos.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The hardware is responsive and the battery life is excellent. The AI is pervasive, but can be managed so that it doesn't get in the way, and can be genuinely useful. Coming from an s22u, I was concerned about the loss of 10x optical zoom, but the s26u wider apertures and greater pixel density seem to balance out. I wish the phone weren't so expensive, but I'm liking it so far.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm still learning all the new features of the S26, but so far I like this phone! I'm excited to figure out all the AI features so I can maximize usage.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent screen and phone speed but I just wish they actually upgraded the battery. Why can't we have higher capacity like the one plus for this price point? Still a fantastic phone. Also add more Bluetooth audio codecs please. Galaxy AI is pretty cool tbh
