Great phone

from Hawkes bay. New zealand.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The camera quality is amazing and the zoom is pretty extreme. I also like that the phone comes with its own e-pen built in and that offers a range of uses, from art to finding hidden objects. I like that my phone is powerful enough to play Minecraft with 20 add ons without crashing, its like my personal portable gaming console. The battery lasts me all day even if im gaming most the day and it charges super fast. The Ai is pretty intelligent on this phone and the display is crystal clear.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Satisfactory phone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall an extremely mediocre device.
The privacy display seemed like a great invention, especially since it can be turned off and on at anytime. The basic privacy screen mode is mediocre as it can still be viewed relatively easily on the sides, but it still keeps the nice colors on the s26 ultra. Maximum privacy makes the screen extremely grey but makes it almost impossible to see from a certain angle. It does cause quite a bit of eye strain when using for extended periods of time.
The jump from 45W to 60W is a noticeable improvement from older generation devices, charging slightly quicker. The battery life is also basically the same. I would have expected the s26 ultra to have a larger battery this year and also faster charging before, as competitors had this many years ago.
The camera quality is also very similar to its predecessor, but apparently captures more light than before. It has issues with focusing after 5x zoom at a certain distance range, making the image incredibly blurry. This was said to be a worse alop sensor. The 3x-5x zoom is okayish at certain scenes, but makes the image very grey at other places. For night pictures, it is amazing, especially in low light (refer to picture below) Other than that, the camera is overall an acceptable step up from its last gen, especially switching from my Asus ROG 6.
Performance obviously is the top its league, as it uses the new snapdragon chip. Mostly smooth with some stutters but again, it uses the newest chip, so I can't complain.
Feels like a pretty solid device, although it is pretty heavy for most users, but I don't mind. The camera bump is much larger this year, which is extremely annoying, as when flat on a surface, it moves up and down when using it. Feels pretty durable, though the recent durability tests are pretty good I would say. Most people use a case, so it shouldn't an issue.
The starting price is absolutely ridiculous, though there are discounts and trade in boosts, but still relatively expensive for the average user.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
