A Polished Upgrade
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Averagejoe2026
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the S23 Ultra to the S26 Ultra and the experience has been excellent so far. The updated UI really ties the phone together and makes everything feel smoother and more polished. Compared to my S23 Ultra, this phone feels noticeably more responsive in everyday use, with faster app launches and smoother animations.
The display is beautiful—bright, sharp, and great for both media and daily tasks. Battery life has also been outstanding and easily lasts through the day. I’ve also noticed that Google services seem better integrated, and Android Auto runs much smoother than before.
Galaxy AI has been a surprisingly useful addition. Samsung has integrated AI features in ways that actually help with everyday tasks. The updated phone app is a great example, with new AI-powered call features that help manage and summarize calls, making it easier to keep track of important conversations.
I also really like the addition of magnetic charging support, which makes using charging accessories much more convenient.
The only improvement I’d like to see is camera placement. Since the camera layout is similar to previous models, it makes it difficult to use magnetic battery packs because they don’t sit flush on the back. Hopefully this is something Samsung considers improving in the next model.
Overall, the S26 Ultra feels like a polished and worthwhile upgrade.

Overall great product
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Ciso10
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall this is an amazing phone and the AI features are both amazing and accurate, it responds very well and have many tips and tricks to play around with the configurations and have the phone do things that seemed not realistic as always great quality in the display and the privacy screen is one of my favorite parts and I know people complain about it talking about it looks pixeled but let's be honest the privacy screen protector does the exact same thing so to me that is just right there are 2 things that I noticed that are interesting and almost flaws to me but not really a deal breaker the first one is how much the cameras come out from the phone body giving it an unbalance feeling and even with a case your camera lens are the first to touch surfaces so I am worried that this is going to cause scratches if not careful the second one is the S pen placement and shape as it is actually in the corner and it comes out the phone it self again even in a case it seems like is really easy to hit it and push it to unlock the pen even inside your pocket so I am worried that I am going to loose it at any given time so be careful any other than that I love the phone as always great job Samsung

Amazing device but that wobble tho
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: BrandoCalrissian
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did the annual uograde from the 25 ultra. I thought it would be a meh upgrade but I was wrong. The privacy screen is worth it alone. But what else nobody has mentioned is that with galaxyAI samsung has done what Google promised to do almost ten years ago: they erased a fence. I had a picture of a jaguar i took at the zoo. I told the phone to get rid of the netting between me and the cat and voila! It as gone. So cool.
The new camera island is not great. I wish it were horizontal because it protrudes so much the phone is basically useless lying on a table. Even with a case.

The product is great!

Posted by: Love2read
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new s26 ultra has a nice thin design and no more rounded side screen which is nice.(i switched from a s23 ultra). The setup was extremely easy using smartswitch! The new galaxy AI options give you endless possibilities! Ai can help you make your pictures flawless and answer any of your questions. I really enjoy having it all at my fingertips in my busy lifestyle.

The Smasung 26 Ultra is a "Beast!"
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Guzakian
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve spent time with the new Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, and while it looks similar to last year's model, Samsung has refined this phone to perfection. The biggest game-changer? The Privacy Display and the updated AI features! I have been a Samsung user for over 26 years and Samsung keeps making a great product, enough so that I continue to upgrade my entire family every year!! Keep it up Samsung!!
