Dumpster Fire of a phone
on March 31, 2026
Posted by: RedRocked
Samsung lets just add more Ai and say its a new phone.
Remove the only feature I used on the S Pen camera shutter button. Now its a piece of unless plastic that will never get used. I think a twig is more useful then this s pen.

Samsung thinking process lets have Bluetooth function then get rid of it then add it back and say we created this most advance pen ever you can take a photo from the S Pen.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

S26 ultra too expensive and no Bluetooth on stylus pen, instead of moving forward with new technology, it's going backwards. It's a shame

Nothing Special
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: SamsungT23
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There's really nothing that stands out on the new S26 ultra. Coming from an S23 Ultra,i feel it's similar. The privacy display they promoted is still a work in-progress feature. The Galaxy AI is useful, but they can still make it better

Display causes eye strain, dizziness and naseous
on March 12, 2026
Posted by: bteezy52
from Arizona
The S26 ultra causes eye strain, dizziness and nauseousness. I have had Samsun my whole life and recently the S24 Ultra for two years and have had no issues, I also have perfect vision. The display on the S26ultra is not well made or changed to cause these health issues, I am using the same settings and have adjusted setting and nothing resolves the issue. Like many on social media and Samsung forums, I will be returning the phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Upgraded from S22U to S26U
on April 19, 2026
Posted by: Jrodav
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would have thought it would be a giant leap forward, considering it was an upgrade from S22U to S26U. Unfortunately, it's marginally better. The privacy screen is not at all private. An
One thing is better, the camera. The S22U had a bug, that had a delay switching during zooming and colors are way off. The S26U seems a lot nicer off the bat. Will need to do more testing.

My new favorite
on April 21, 2026
Posted by: Candy
from Louisiana
This has become my new favorite Samsung. 😍 the privacy screen is a game changer. I didn't want to give up the memory card in my s20 but so far its been worth it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
