Review: My Sky Blue S26 Ultra is a Huge Upgrade!
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: SkyBlueTechUser
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for two days now, and it is a great phone. I upgraded from the S22 Ultra, and since it has been a few years, I really expected to see a significant amount of changes between the two models.
I chose the Sky Blue version, and it looks amazing in person. The first thing I noticed is that this phone feels much lighter and thinner than my old one, which makes it a lot easier to hold and use with one hand despite the huge screen. That display is beautiful, which is perfect since I use the phone mostly for streaming and productivity at work.
The new AI features are actually really helpful for my workflow, especially Note Assist, which makes organizing my work much faster. The privacy screen is also great when I am working in public. I also noticed a big improvement in the speakers compared to my S22 Ultra; the sound is much clearer and richer now, which is great for streaming.
The cameras are a big step up from what I was used to, and I am already impressed with how clear my photos look at night. Everything runs very fast without any lagging, even when I have a lot of work apps open. The battery life seems solid so far and easily lasts through a full day of heavy use. It feels like a very polished and reliable upgrade.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] so far the phone is what I expected and more Coming from the S22 Ultra that I loved and did not want to give it up, but the software upgrades have stopped.So i needed to get a new device to continue receiving software updates. I've been following some of the creators that created videos of smartphones and the upcoming devices . I've been using a samsung device since the first galaxy and had loved the experience of the device. From the early leaks of the S26 series there was news regarding magnets being added to the phone but then I was disappointed when I heard that there were no magnets but I understood the reason and I am okay with it. I know that soon Samsung will figure it out to include magnets . I wish that Samsung had offered more trade i value for older phones then I would have financed it with Samsung and the carrier. Nevertheless I am rocking the S26Ultra and are loving it so far . can't wait ti see what One UI 9.0 brings . I purchased the silicone case when I preordered the phone and it s onñy been 8 days and it has a crack at the button of the case next to the s pen which makes it difficult to tapas out the s pen
Thank you samsung for always looking for ways to make tje experience of your phones better.

Innovation
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Redsoxfan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's great to see Samsung on top of the innovation chain again! The new galaxy ai in this phone is great and it is involved in every corner of the phone. The privacy display is amazing amd the fact that you can limit it to certain apps is a game changer! Because the down side to the privacy tech is that it dims the display. I gave it 4 stars because I loved the s25Ultras anti glare screen, and the 26ultra is not as good in this department. The colors in the 26 are much more natural amd samsung finally nailed it on that. Hard to tell if I am lookong at a picture I just took or if it's real life.

The S26 Ultra has the BEST Galaxy AI around.
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Sweetpea352
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my S26 Ultra mostly for Social Media and Photography. With Photography the Galaxy AI truly helps. The camera is absolutely phenomenal as is but you throw the Galaxy AI in with it and BOOM. Can make even the newest photographer look like they are a pro. The privacy display that can be turned on and off or even just for certain apps is amazing.. Huge round of applause for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Light upgrade from S23 Ultra, missing a few things
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: teedog
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My S23 Ultra served me quite well, but started to show signs of aging. The S26 Ultra is a nice upgrade, but I have found a few things from my S23 that I am missing:
-10x optical zoom (even though the picture quality on the S26 is amazing, it can't get that zoom quality the S23 had)
-Brighter screen. I understand that the S26 has the new privacy mode, however found the S23 screen to be more vibrant
-SPen Bluetooth. I miss the ability to use air gestures
-10x optical zoom (even though the picture quality on the S26 is amazing, it can't get that zoom quality the S23 had)
-Brighter screen. I understand that the S26 has the new privacy mode, however found the S23 screen to be more vibrant
-SPen Bluetooth. I miss the ability to use air gestures
Overall the S26 Ultra is an amazing and light device. Glad I did the upgrade and the responsiveness is quite snappy. It's still too new in my hands to speak to any of the Galaxy AI capabilities. I have not used the MagSafe feature yet either. The transfer was a breeze using the SmartSwitch capability. Everything just worked! Looking forward to the same rock solid performance of the S23 Ultra. Hope that the lighter weight (feels way lighter than the few grams difference it really is) does not mean cheaper build. Thanks Samsung!

I love the new Privacy Display and AI Features
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Sacred
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not gonna lie, jumping from the S23 Ultra to the S26 Ultra, I see a significant improvement in battery life, Galaxy AI features, Power of the device, and Gaming. My S23 Ultra could already handle certain apps flawlessly, but the S26 Ultra does it with relative ease. Paired up with my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic and my Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, I'm getting the most I can, so far, with my devices. Device switching is easy and everything sounds so clear. Calling has never felt better because instead of holding my phone up to my ear and trying to listen from speakerphone, I can have my Buds in talk normally without the hassle. Now to my phone. I love the display and I love that the refresh rate creates smoother transitions. Colors pop more, and when running certain apps, Privacy Display mode comes on. I feel more secure about my phone and it puts me at ease. The Galaxy AI is vastly improved, as well. I've used Circle to Search for finding multiple objects and I love it. I feel like my phone does a lot more now that I had to manually adjust on my own. I recently changed shifts at my job and it would take me a minute or two to change my alarm clocks. This time, all I had to do was tell Galaxy AI to do it for me and it handled it like a breeze. I love my new Galaxy S26 Ultra.
