[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sleek and powerful, love the blue screen and great features.
The camera is great and combined with the Samsung AI makes it fun applying the enhancements.

Overall solid upgrade, with some drawbacks
on March 16, 2026
Posted by: spence
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded from a S23 Ultra to the S26 Ultra due to the special trade-in offer, and while there are some great improvements, I have some mixed feelings.
I really like the new rounded edges and design language of the S26, although, the even larger camera bump is slightly annoying when the phone is on a desk. The faster charging is a long overdue step forward for Samsung, which was the main reason I upgraded. General battery life, gaming performance, cameras, and overall look & feel is on point.
However, the display is a disappointment. It isn't nearly as sharp or bright as my old S23 Ultra, likely because of the new privacy display. While the idea is cool, it feels like a gimmick, especially in low light. I also find the heavily marketed Galaxy AI features to be useless in daily practice, and I really think it's a bunch of marketing fluff. The term "agentic" is not at all reflective of the experience, and I don't think anybody (except maybe tech executives) wants AI slopware to eat into battery life.
It's a solid phone for the daily use, as the build and charging is quite good, but the screen sharpness and AI bloatware keeps it from being perfect. I'm not sure the MSRP makes sense from a value proposition, especially compared to a previous year S25U.

Good upgrade
on March 16, 2026
Posted by: Sgp16smg
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] S26 ultra is really good, the display is better compared to s25 ultra. I privacy display is really nice to have for specific apps only instead of everything. Galaxy AI is really useful has more features when compared to other Samsung mobile way better feature when compared to other company mobiles. One UI 8.5 is also good and customizable.

As far as phones go, this is it;
on March 16, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In a stagnant breath of technology where we are no longer improving on most things due to tech constraints, Samsung yet again pushes the boundaries of how a phone should feel.
The upgraded chip makes you really appreciate the new device, as someone who had mo issues with the s25 Ultra, I was pleasantly surprised to notice how smooth, quick and more stable the s26 ultra felt, granted the feel is not a massive difference but being able to already improve on peak is incredible.
The Camera is still as wonderful as ever, with beautiful photos that usually people say are not as colorful as other mainline phones but that's the big point, my pictures feel and look real to what my mine sees, not over saturated color swatches.
The Galaxy AI features are fun as well, I like the privacy filter, though I don't really have too much of a reason to use it. Having it being able to be set for specific things was a smart move that I did like, so hopefully I find a reason to use that. On board assistant and perplexity work well too though I haven't messed with them an awful lot.
The only thing I wish that samsung would bring back is the sPen functionality. I miss being able to take photos with the pen or control small aspects with the connectivity to it.
Over all a wonderful device, as always. I look forward to the updates.
