I upgraded from S25 Ultra, then Z Fold7 then S26 Ultra and this is my favorite of all of them. The battery is much better than S25 Ultra. Cameras are great. I love using it to take zoom photos which I really missed on the Z Fold7. It is a bit more comfortable to hold than S25 Ultra but still a bit unwieldy but that is something I am willing to endure for the big amazing display. The privacy display is truly amazing! Performance is fast and smooth as always. Durability wise unfortunately i have a scatch on my ultra wide camera glass, but not other lenses, not sure how but it does not affect the photos at all. Overall, I love this phone, tho I wish Samsung would just remove the S Pen to make it optional like the S21 Ultra then increase the batfery a bit and add magnet.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very solid phone overall. I'm really glad the S-Pen is still here! Galaxy AI has proven helpful, especially when paired with the Samsung Health app and my Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. I've found that if anything, the phone has been more powerful than I really need. I do wish the titanium build of the S25 was back since it feels less premium and that the general hardware had more of an upgrade, even if it was just the camera or battery, but you can't go wrong with the S26. The privacy screen is also a great new feature and one of the only innovations I've seen in the smartphone sphere in the past few years. One UI is beautiful and the screen is vivid! I'm not sure what the criticism about the screen being fuzzy is about.
The phone feels good in my hands, I like the desig
