Privacy upgrade
on March 10, 2026
Posted by: KarlSan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Privacy screen is a must now days. S26 screen is programmable for those apps, you want total privacy.
Main processing chip is a huge improvement, mainly because of the lack of overheating.
Camera features are also a impoetant improvement.
Overall, to inclube the less weight and thinner dimensions, its a good upgrade.

Not as impressive as its predecessors
on March 10, 2026
Posted by: EdoOkati123
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The battery drain on this is higher than I initially expected it to be. By contrast, my S23Ultra which I traded in for upgrading to this, had a better battery life when I initially bought it. It used to last more than 1 day comfortably. With all the new Galaxy AI features packed into this new S26 Ultra, it seems to be consuming considerably more battery in initial days of usage, compared to how long the S23 Ultra lasted.
Also, the new Privacy Display, when enabled under "Maximum Privacy Protection" mode, is a disappointment. Needs a lot of refinement in future iterations of the upcoming Galaxy devices. As a lifelong Samsung Galaxy phone user, I am convinced Samsung is capable of much more than what the S26 Ultra delivered. I hope the upcoming flagships have a bigger battery and a much more improved privacy display feature. No regular user uses as many AI features as they are focusing on. Hardware improvements such as battery and camera are what matter more.
