The Ultra is WONDERFUL!!!
on May 25, 2026
Posted by: RichardA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra feels less like an annual upgrade and more like a device that finally refines nearly every idea Samsung has been building toward over the past decade. From the moment you pick it up, the exterior design communicates intent—this is a tool as much as it is a smartphone.
The front is dominated by an edge-to-edge display that somehow manages to be both immersive and practical. Samsung has toned down the aggressive curvature just enough to reduce accidental touches without sacrificing that signature "infinite" feel. The glass feels denser and more resilient, and the anti-reflective coating is noticeably improved, especially outdoors here in bright Texas sun. Around the back, the matte finish provides a confident grip while resisting fingerprints far better than previous models. The camera array is cleaner this year—less protrusion, more integration—which gives the device a more balanced, intentional look.
Button placement is precise and tactile. The volume rocker and power button have a firmer, more satisfying click, and they sit exactly where your fingers expect them to be. It sounds minor, but it adds to the sense of control. And then there's the S Pen, which remains the defining feature that sets the Ultra apart from everything else. The latency is now practically nonexistent, and writing feels closer to pen-on-paper than ever before. Air actions are no longer a gimmick—they're reliable enough actually to use, whether you're controlling media or

Best Android Phone I’ve Used
on May 25, 2026
Posted by: Barberguy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra has honestly exceeded my expectations in almost every area. The display is incredibly sharp, bright, and smooth, making everything from watching videos to scrolling through social media feel premium. Samsung continues to lead when it comes to screen quality, and this device really shows it.
Performance has been extremely fast and reliable. Apps open instantly, multitasking feels effortless, and gaming performance has been excellent without noticeable lag or overheating during normal use. Battery life has also been impressive. I can comfortably get through a full day with heavy use including video recording, navigation, social media, and streaming.
The camera system is one of the biggest highlights. Photos come out detailed and vibrant in both daylight and low light conditions. The zoom capabilities are especially impressive and genuinely useful instead of feeling gimmicky. Video quality is also very stable and cinematic, making it a great device for content creation.
Galaxy AI has also been surprisingly useful in everyday situations. Features like photo editing, writing assistance, translation tools, and smart search options actually improve the experience instead of feeling like unnecessary extras. Samsung integrated the AI features in a way that feels practical and easy to use.
The design feels premium and durable, and the phone has a very polished overall experience. One UI continues to improve and gives a lot of customization options without sacrifici

Gemini saved my s26
on May 25, 2026
Posted by: Gemini
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Using my s26 has been a very pleasant experience The integration of AI especially Galaxy AI has been kind of lackluster in my opinion
The integration of Google Gemini has been a great addition to help close the gap between what galaxy AI left behind

4 1/2 actually. Almost a 5
on May 25, 2026
Posted by: SamsungFan22
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought an S26 Ultra after coming from a 6 year old A71 5G. So, in my case it's a dramatic leap. Even though I've upgraded from a 6 year old mid range device I've played with a lot of phones over the years whether it be friend's phones or in store demo models. I appreciate all the AI features this phone has but have yet to really mess around with them in depth. That said, it's clear that the AI features are incredibly advanced and capable. The cameras are awesome in my book. I know some people say they're in need of an upgrade but I find the cameras very capable. As an Android device, I appreciate the customization. I love the fact this phone will have 7 years of software updates as I tend to keep phones a long time before upgrading.
Now for the negative....I do wish the S-Pen had built in Bluetooth that still had air gestures and to be able to use as a camera shutter in hand. I also feel like the S-Pen is a bit flimsy compared to past S-Pens. I don't care for how narrow it is now. Makes it a little less comfortable to hold and write on the screen and kind of feels like it can easily be snapped into two. I also wish it gad micro SD card support for expandable storage but I got the 1tb model so I'm not going to run out of storage space anytime soon. Other than those complaints it's a great phone and I'm enjoying it. I'm a Samsung guy so I'm a bit biased but I'd recommend an S26 Ultra for anyone wanting a flagship with all the bells & whistles.
