I've had all the Samsung Note phones since the original, and then all the S Series when they were combined. I only skipped the S25 Ultra.
I traded in my S24 Ultra for the S26 Ultra. The S26 Ultra is absolutely a BEAST! This phone is so fast. The display is absolutely gorgeous. Of course the privacy screen washes out the colors a bit. That's going to be expected. But you get amazing privacy, especially on full.
The cameras are fantastic too. They take such good videos and photos. You don't need a dedicated camera with this. I'm still figuring out the best settings and ive had my S26U for just over 2 weeks. They are beautiful shots.
The battery life is definitely better than the previous phones. And I can usually get about 15+ hours of semi heavy use.
The phone seems very durable and I love how thin it is. The phone is just a power house. It's so snappy. I highly, highly recommend the Galaxy S26.
A few things I wish were different. Samsung, PLEASE bring back the Bluetooth S-Pen. That's is a huge feature, and I would say 90%+ use the Bluetooth S-Pen for taking pictures and videos. That was what stopped me from upgrading from the S24U to the S25U.
This phone does have more rounded corners. It's a huge difference between the S24 and S26. Personally I love the corners on the S25U. It's a perfect balance between.
Also, please bring back the smart view cases. Ive seen tons of people who want them back. Every Galaxy phone I've had has had a S-View case. They are amazing.
Lastly, can we please get an upgraded battery with the S27? Even a 5000mah with the newer battery tech would do. Or higher than 5000mah. That would be great. The S Ultra series are for those of us who love using our phones for productivity, games, movies, etc. A bigger or better battery would be amazing.
Overall, if you're wanting a new phone. The GALAXY Series is where it's at. Especially the S26 Ultra. Hands down the best phone ever!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As always the phone is great. Functions better,lighter in weight, fast processing, etc. The new features are amazing but coming from the s24 ultra and losing the Bluetooth s pen is a downer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great phone! Fast, reliable operations, with all the features you could ask for. The cameras are virtually foolproof courtesy of the Galaxy AI interface, and take gorgeous pics. I dont even use my PC anymore...everything is through my wonderful phone!

S26 Ultra nice overall
on March 25, 2026
Posted by: News26ultra
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone looks and feels good but the camera bump is quiet big. You cannot lay your phone falt on its back and it will be raided. Any holder or grip that you want to put your phone will now interfere with the camera bump. The display is decent. Whites shades are definitely not white and a little Creamy but I got used to it. The font size for me is either too big or a little small. I am using the lowest setting on screen zoom as the icons feel too big and zoomed it. The Galaxy AI features are very intuitive and nice addition.
