Excellent Upgrade from S24 Ultra
on April 22, 2026
Posted by: HystericalMom
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am in love with my new phone. It is noticeably faster than the S24, which is awesome.
Galaxy AI is more intuitive and much easier for me to navigate. I feel more comfortable using it than some other AI options.
The rounded corners are also more asthetically pleasing as well. I also think the UI is more user friendly and I no longer use a third party launcher.

All in all, I am glad I waited to upgrade until now. The S26 Ultra is amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After having the Z Fold 6, returning to the S Ultra series was the best thing I could do.
More speed, better screen, ideal to see my pod cast which is what I use it for the most, so far I have no complaints about the

The S26 met all my expectations
on April 22, 2026
Posted by: RevPeterNC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 privacy feature is a godsend. My phone is private and I'm a bit concerned prior to purchasing. The new feature exceeds all of my expectations and then some.
I enjoy the faster speed as well. Apps load much faster aster. The screen is beautiful and provides sharp clear definition.

Glad I upgraded!!
on April 22, 2026
Posted by: MrPizzaroll
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m genuinely glad I upgraded—this phone has been a huge step up for me. Everything feels faster, smoother, and just easier to use. The display is outstanding—whether I’m catching a Cavs game, watching videos, or just scrolling, it looks sharp and bright every time.
I use Galaxy AI more than I expected. It’s been really helpful for organizing things, quick edits, and just making everyday tasks simpler. It’s one of those features that quietly makes a difference once you start using it regularly.
Battery life has been reliable, getting me through the day without worrying about charging, and performance hasn’t slowed down at all—even when I’ve got multiple apps running. It keeps up with everything I throw at it.
The camera is another highlight. Pictures come out clear and detailed, and it’s been great for capturing everyday moments and trips without needing anything extra.
Overall, this upgrade was 100% worth it. It fits right into my daily routine and makes everything a little easier.

Lateral Move with Missing Features
on April 22, 2026
Posted by: DesertSignal
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I moved from the Galaxy S24 Ultra and haven't found a meaningful improvement in day-to-day use. Performance, battery life, and camera quality all feel essentially the same, which makes this change hard to justify.
The new privacy screen is one of the more disappointing additions. While it may be intended to limit viewing angles, it reduces contrast and color accuracy, increases perceived brightness, and causes eye strain during extended use. In practice, it feels more like a visual filter than a useful tool, and I keep it disabled.
I also rely heavily on the S Pen for work, including note-taking and presentations. Earlier versions supported Bluetooth remote features, which are no longer available. That was a useful capability. I also use my phone a lot at night, and the display controls are less practical in low light.
For my usage—email, notes, navigation, media, light editing, and connecting to a mirrorless camera—the experience is nearly identical to the S24 Ultra. Charging speed does seem improved, and the more rounded edges are more comfortable to hold.
In practical use, there is nothing here that clearly separates it from other devices in the same lineup. If you do not rely on the S Pen, the experience does not stand out. Galaxy AI is present throughout the device, but I disable most of those features because they do not add value to my workflow.
Overall, this feels like a lateral move with some regressions. In hindsight, I would have kept the S24 Ultra and waited.
