Battery life alone was worth the upgrade
on August 5, 2026
Posted by: SnapPhotosForFun
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've gone through a few phones over the years, and this is the first one where I haven't felt that low battery panic by mid-afternoon. I'm someone who's constantly pulling my phone out to snap photos, whether it's something random that catches my eye on a walk or trying to get a decent shot in a dim room, and the camera has handled all of it without much effort on my part, especially with the 50mp and 200mp. Details come through clean, colors look natural instead of overly processed, and low-light shots actually look usable instead of grainy.
What really won me over though is how the battery keeps up with all that. I'll shoot photos throughout the day, have several apps running, watching videos, etc, keep the screen brightness up, and still end the night with charge left over. It's changed how I think about carrying a charger around. I used to plan my day around finding an outlet or bringing a battery bank, and now I genuinely don't think about it.
The two things together, a camera that makes everyday moments look better than they probably are, and a battery that doesn't quit on me, are exactly why I chose this device over sticking with my old one. It feels like an upgrade I'll actually notice in daily use, not just on paper.

Phone Junkie
on August 5, 2026
Posted by: Galaxy5Queen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I was the one that was always getting new phones! I chose this phone originally because I love the pen but I absolutely love this phonefor many other reasons! The only CON I can come up with is they don't offer very many colors. The system is fast, the camera is amazing, and the pen is always good! Its literally the best phone on the market right now you won't regret it.

Great upgrade from the S24 Ultra.
on August 4, 2026
Posted by: AlmaPR
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually upgrade after 3 or 4 models but after seeing the S26 Ultra's specs I chose to do so from the theS24 Ultra (which many people still say is the best ever). No regrets. The processing is way faster and the Privacy Screen is super awesome.

Upgraded from S23 Ultra to S26 Ultra
on August 4, 2026
Posted by: Geekedout
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from the S23 Ultra, I honestly wasn't sure the jump to the S26 Ultra would feel that different. I'm so glad I made the move.
The performance boost is immediately noticeable, everything from opening apps to multitasking with several windows just feels snappier and smoother, zero lag even with a dozen tabs and apps running in the background.
The camera is where this upgrade really shines. Video quality got a real bump too, especially stabilization while walking or moving.
I chose the S26 Ultra because battery life is super important to me. I use my phone to work and sometimes need to take notes in hour long meetings multiple times a day. The S26 battery life surprised me most. I was expecting a marginal improvement, but I'm consistently getting through a full day with heavy use with battery to spare, something the S23 Ultra started struggling with after a couple years of use. I used to have to recharge mid day to keep up with my use.
The display is brighter and easier to read in direct sunlight. It also came with the privacy screen function and this honestly is a game changer.
Trade-in value plus the overall jump made this an easy call. If you're still on an S23 Ultra and wondering whether it's worth it, it is.

Way more than I knew I needed
on August 4, 2026
Posted by: Jamguy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Galaxy S26 Ultra because it was the next edition in the lineage and I was upgrading from my S24+ but I've loved every feature. The camera quality is insane, as I was able to zoom in on a bird from a little under a mile away and had little to no drop-off in quality.
The stylus is what I've needed in my life for years. As a person who is still stuck to the manual way of doing things, having the screen prep you to write or draw, when you remove the stylus has been a joy. I'd recommend this phone to anyone looking for a change or upgrade.
