New Phone Same Phone
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Strive4Gr8ness
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While the Galaxy AI is cool and engaging but honestly I went from a S23 Ultra to this 26 model and I truly feel my previous phone was bigger that I liked and allowed me to use older apps such as the Numberpad Keyboard because the T9 keyboard is very complicated on this device. It could option to save added words like slang to dictionary and a space bar where the 0 would be while allowing the prediction to work better. The new camera itself is great especially for close up in depth photos. I do wish charger boxes would be a thing again as with what phones are costing now there should be more included not less. I've been Team Samsung for years such as washers, televisions and phones but I feel lately they are doing too much to compare phone wise to the "fruit phone". While the phone is nice I sadly don't feel it was worth the jump I expected when upgrading.

Disappointing!
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: Joanna
I'm disappointed with the Galaxy S26 Ultra! I replaced my S23 with this, and the S23 is a much better phone. The fact that the S Pen has no connectivity and can't snap photos is a major downgrade. The built-in privacy screen isn't worth it when you can buy a privacy screen protector.

Not necessarily an upgrade
on April 3, 2026
Posted by: G Pollet
Should have stayed with my S25 Ultra!
I feel misled over the so calked10bit display.
Privacy screen, not so private.
Samsung has forced their customers to use Google messaging, which sucks, I Hate it!
MAKE SAMSUNG MESSAGES COMPATIBLE!
Went from titanium to aluminum frame.

I love samsung
on April 4, 2026
Posted by: Trapped2004
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new samsung 26 ultra! The Galaxy AI is so cool. It does everything I need my phone to do. I have been struggling to figure out a medical issue and it took sending the test results and my Galaxy AI figured out everything I've been trying to figure out for years now! I love the clipboard feature and how you can pin things to the clipboard and then click them later to paste. Amazing stuff 👏

Missing feathers
on April 8, 2026
Posted by: Bren
I traded up from the s25 ultra to the s26 ultra and was very disappointed that there were some features missing. What happened to Samsung messages? And the S pen is no longer Bluetooth! And the one that upset me the most was the Samsung themes. They only show up on the home page. I purchased a lot of them on my previous phones and I'm disappointed I can't use them on this one. Other that that, I love the phone.

Dumpster Fire of a phone
on March 31, 2026
Posted by: RedRocked
Samsung lets just add more Ai and say its a new phone.
Remove the only feature I used on the S Pen camera shutter button. Now its a piece of unless plastic that will never get used. I think a twig is more useful then this s pen.

Samsung thinking process lets have Bluetooth function then get rid of it then add it back and say we created this most advance pen ever you can take a photo from the S Pen.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
