[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the s26 ultra phone. It comes with a lot of features. The only thing I would like to see is a more user way to navigate it all and how to use everything. I'm not super tech, but I can usually figure things out on my own. But, it would be nice to see it as well. The galaxy AI is kind of the same way, I just dont understand how to fully use it. The privacy screen though is an amazing feature and thats what drew me to it. I use my phone for work things and it's great to turn that on.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone is excellent responsive time quick fast and accurate although I purchased it for the AI on the phone hoping that it could take control of a few elements of my business that take a lot of my time it is not impressed me yet for tasks.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my galaxy s26 ultra. I like using the GALAXY A Ifeature.. i use my phone for gaming and for work , it help me all the time. 10 out of 10
Well it's a waste of money. I have no complaints on the use other than they should have taken advantage of android technology to use ai for better quality pictures. The SPen has zero practical use. It does not even function as a good swiping tool let alone work for taking notes
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My favorite Galaxy AI feature so far is the remastering/upscaling of photos.
Removing objects falls under generative AI even if I'm not generating a new image, so I tend to not do that as I don't want the watermark on my actual photos—but the upscaling of cropped photos is definitely great for localized processing (I avoid the cloud).
Some refinement is needed for object edges selection, and I do wish the watermark applied only to images generated rather than touched-up images…baby steps, I guess.
The UI is smooth and snappy. Even at full brightness, the screen could be brighter (I work in the sun, could use higher nits).
With that said, I've been using Samsung phones since high school–I've tried the other two major brands and I don't care for the fruit's closed ecosystem, or the alphabet's production…they're so close, but Samsung has been at it a while, they know what they're doing!
