Great phone - awful camera bump
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: Seth
Upgraded from s24 plus to s26 ultra. Phone has overall quality Samsung is known for. I removed two stars as Samsung refuses to include built in magnets for QI charging and more importantly because the camera bump is huge. The camera makes it impossible for the phone to sit flat on a table and wobbles when you try to use it that way.

Awesome everything EXCEPT the display
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: Bpnd
The phone feels great, camera is great, battery is great.
But the display is so fuzzy to me that I can't use it. Even with privacy display off, the screen strains my eyes when reading text. I wanted to like this phone a lot but I unfortunately will have to return it.
If you are thinking of buying this phone, definitely check it out in store before you do. I did not, and I probably should have.
I had a s23u and a fold 7, and my partner had a s25u, and I had no problem with those phones screens. So there's definitely something introduced with the s26u that strains my eyes.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Smooth and Fast
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: Luv4phonez
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been using my 26 ultra for a couple of days. Phone runs fast and very smooth when scrolling thru the apps. The AI and interpretation with the Galaxy Buds 4 pro is amazing. The size and feel of the phone is fantastic. Still trying to get used to the built in privacy screen. I had higher hopes for it and as for now I am still a fan of a screen protector that has the privacy feature.

Glad I upgraded!
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: imnotcuteanymore
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't upgraded my phone in 4 to 5 years and honestly I'm glad I changed it to the 26 ultra! The features on the phone is really cool especially the privacy mode and the phone feels a bit lighter as well, which I didn't except. The new UI makes the phone even cooler! So if you're like me having a old phone I think you won't regret it at all!

Top of the line
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: RaeLee
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a Galaxy user and fan since the Galaxy 4 and I upgrade every year or two and they just keep getting better and better although each new release is so amazing it seems like they can't get better but they do. The clarity and sharpness of the screen is amazing, the phone is super fast and so customizable. The new privacy screen is such a great feature. Some of the new features like the now nudge has been fun and useful and the AI features are coming in so many different areas that it's fun to learn and it's teaching me so many new things even sometimes when I wasn't trying. The AI recognizing what I'm looking at on my screen and in conversations that I'm having then suggesting places to go or appointments and such is amazing. The camera quality is exceptional and the new super steady feature it's a total game changer. Taking pictures at night has never been so clear also. The new rounded corners are so much more comfortable to hold, the size and weight are great Samsung outdid themselves once again and the Galaxy s26 Ultra is absolutely amazing as my phone, my appointment book, my computer, my book reader, my note taker, my bill organizer/payer and my fun game player. I don't use any computer or laptop any longer because it's all wrapped up in this top of the line phone

So far great phone
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: FredKz
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great phone. Love the privacy screen feature. Not happy that no all settings were transferred from my S25 Ultra but that it's not related to this phone
