Happily Surprised
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: HLuna52180
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, I first purchased the Galaxy S26 Ultra as my secondary choice of phone with no expectations other than it was an evolutionary upgrade to my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. It was going to be another iteration of the easy familiarity in experience Ive loved with the previous generation. Boy, was I wrong! The improved case ergonomics, privacy screen, smoother user functionality and a more capable Galaxy AI were among the many features that happily surprised me. The more I use and explore my new S26 Ultra the more I understand what a gem of a phone I now own. Easily would recommend to anyone looking for a smartphone that's the apex in its category in 2026.

Hardly any difference from S24 Ultra
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: manojsh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Three days in with the S26 Ultra and I’m impressed… mostly. The screen is ridiculous (in a good way), the speakers are loud, and the cameras are fun to play with. Galaxy AI has been surprisingly handy—especially the photo editing tools and the text assist stuff.
But yeah, it’s not flawless. The phone is heavier than I expected, and the curved edges still make it a bit slippery. The camera sometimes struggles in low indoor lighting, and the phone warms up when pushing it with games or long camera sessions. Also, some AI features feel like they need a couple more updates to really shine.
Still, it’s a beast of a phone and feels super premium. Just not a perfect one.

From the moment you start using it, the performance feels extremely smooth and responsive. Applications open quickly, multitasking is effortless, and the overall experience feels very refined.

The camera system is also remarkable. Photos come out sharp and well balanced in different lighting conditions. The zoom capability is particularly impressive and allows you to capture details that many smartphones simply cannot reach. Video recording is also stable and high quality.
Battery performance has been very reliable during daily use. It easily lasts through a full day with a mix of work, media, and normal smartphone tasks. Charging is quick and convenient.
Overall, the S26 Ultra feels like a premium device designed for users who want top level performance, an excellent camera, and a beautiful display. It delivers a smooth and dependable experience that stands out in everyday use.

Great product
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Slowpez
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Switched from the Flip 5 to the S26 Ultra and it feels like I went from a cool party trick to a full-on superhero phone. The screen is huge, the battery actually lasts all day, and the camera makes me look like I know photography. Only downside: my pockets now know it’s there. 😄

Great BUT...
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: LeoTruth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI glitches and pulls up Nudges for a year ago. Flight details. Not helpful. Fantastic upgrade from s23 Ultra. But not worth the price as is and the privacy screen really does make it extremely hard to see the screen to just unlocking and privacy screen for just that also just having the feature. Needs a lot more improvement. Also the worst thing is that you get notified that you can buy it cheaper. Which makes any customer definitely want to return it or buy more storage for the cheapest price. I will be returning mine.

Hello LeoTruth, thank you for sharing your thoughts about your Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra with us. We completely understand how disappointing it can be when you have a device that is not meeting your expectations or operating as intended. We have provided a link to the complete manual for your device that can help you customize the privacy display to only activate when you need the privacy rather than being on all the time, if you prefer the appearance without this setting enabled. We have also provided a link to the Samsung Support Team to assist you with the features of Galaxy AI that are not operating as intended or expected. We appreciate you being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth
