[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good. I'm still learning how to use AI features. The privacy display is not as good as I expected.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone as my primary camera for travel. The pictures are stunning. The color and deph of field are unmatched. I love the hands free photography using my voice or my pen. The AI allows me to remove anything I want quickly.

A fantastic upgrade with a few bumps
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: IshScout
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been a devoted Galaxy fan for years. Last year I went from the S22 Ultra to the S25 Edge but something felt off.
With the announcement of privacy display & horizon lock I knew I had to find away to get this device. That camera setting can be extremely helpful to those with things like hand tremors where it's difficult to stay still to get those perfect shots. The night photography upgrade will help for those upcoming BTS concerts. 🫰🏻💜
The only thing I miss so far is the old object remover that doesn't use AI. Sometimes you just want to make small edits without being slapped with an AI watermark. Now I have to use a 3rd party app for that when it was built in previously.

Is it really an update or upgrade from previous...
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: SamsungLovva
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm Not so sure if this new galaxy device deserves all the attention it has gotten recently in the media?! The updates or so called upgrades are literally Not existing with this latest model of Ultra Samsung phone. The privacy screen might be useful for few of us but definitely Not worth it since it's reduced brightness level will be annoying for most of us. Also there are screen protector brands that offer the feature for a lot less dough than the actual cost of upgrade from previous model galaxy phones like S25 /S24 Ultras

Galaxy 26 ultra
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Sloppytacos
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Couldnt be happier with my galaxy purchase. Has all the things I need conveniently at my finger tips. Plus the addition of galaxy AI just makes the whole process easier. Just by clicking a few buttons and speaking to the AI, I can write a text, send an email, mark the date and time on a calender all at the same time.

Screen issues

Posted by: Whywhy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new privacy feature makes the screen blurry and dim even when the feature is off. This is a terrible compromise for a useless feature.

Not a true upgrade unless your phone is >5yrs old
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: GalaxyLvr
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its faster than my S22u but the screen is not nearly as bright and vibrant. The screen is also a fingerprint magnet. The biggest things youll notice is a more efficient batrery and buttery smooth performance.
