4 1/2 actually. Almost a 5

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought an S26 Ultra after coming from a 6 year old A71 5G. So, in my case it's a dramatic leap. Even though I've upgraded from a 6 year old mid range device I've played with a lot of phones over the years whether it be friend's phones or in store demo models. I appreciate all the AI features this phone has but have yet to really mess around with them in depth. That said, it's clear that the AI features are incredibly advanced and capable. The cameras are awesome in my book. I know some people say they're in need of an upgrade but I find the cameras very capable. As an Android device, I appreciate the customization. I love the fact this phone will have 7 years of software updates as I tend to keep phones a long time before upgrading.
Now for the negative....I do wish the S-Pen had built in Bluetooth that still had air gestures and to be able to use as a camera shutter in hand. I also feel like the S-Pen is a bit flimsy compared to past S-Pens. I don't care for how narrow it is now. Makes it a little less comfortable to hold and write on the screen and kind of feels like it can easily be snapped into two. I also wish it gad micro SD card support for expandable storage but I got the 1tb model so I'm not going to run out of storage space anytime soon. Other than those complaints it's a great phone and I'm enjoying it. I'm a Samsung guy so I'm a bit biased but I'd recommend an S26 Ultra for anyone wanting a flagship with all the bells & whistles.

Best phone for my family
on May 25, 2026
Posted by: Familyphone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best phone for the family. It has all the features and very little downside...
Let's get to the cons before the pros...
Its expensive at 1200 each...
Now the pro's
They are hard to break... the screens are as tough as steel. They hold up to family life...
And they just work.. no fussing over small things... no fighting for wifi. This things connects to my home wifi from down the road.. I swear they put some special sauce in the hardware...
I have all phone set to restart at noon.. so there is no android issue from ram... other then that... this phone is a work of art and ment for family life

Fast, Beautiful, and Surprisingly Fun to Use
on May 25, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for a while now, and honestly it’s the best phone I’ve ever owned.
The display is absolutely gorgeous. Watching videos, editing photos, gaming, even simple daily scrolling feels premium. The brightness outdoors is amazing and the screen quality is on another level.
The performance is insanely smooth. Apps open instantly, multitasking is effortless, and the phone never feels slow even with heavy usage. Battery life has also been very solid for me and easily lasts through the day.
One of my favorite parts is the camera system. The photos come out incredibly sharp with great colors and detail, especially in low light and zoom shots. Video stabilization is also seriously impressive.
I also really enjoy the AI features and One UI experience. Everything feels polished, smart, and actually useful instead of gimmicky.
The build quality makes the phone feel extremely premium in hand, and the S Pen is still one of those features that once you start using it, you don’t want to lose it.
Overall, Samsung really refined the experience with the S26 Ultra. It feels powerful, polished, reliable, and genuinely enjoyable to use every day.
Definitely my favorite Galaxy phone so far.

G26 Ultra
on May 25, 2026
Posted by: Blaze24
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra is a powerhouse flagship that blends tier-one performance with enterprise-grade security. Thanks to deep collaboration with Google, the software feels incredibly intuitive. Google’s foundational AI tools work natively with the system, making features like Circle to Search lightning-fast. Background data syncing between Google Workspace and Samsung's native UI is entirely frictionless.
Driven by the latest Snapdragon chipset, it’s an absolute monster for gaming. Samsung overhauled the vapor chamber, translating to zero thermal throttling even after an hour of heavy load. Frames remain locked at a smooth 120Hz on the stunning AMOLED panel. Security is another massive win. Alongside the standard secure folder, it introduces a physical Privacy Display layer. With a quick toggle, it blacks out the screen from side angles, keeping your data safe from prying eyes.
However, the phone has one incredibly frustrating design flaw: the S Pen. The spring-loaded click mechanism in the chamber is simply too loose. If you happen to drop the phone—even from a minor 1-foot drop onto a desk or floor—the physical impact easily triggers the mechanism, causing the pen to shoot right out of its slot. You have to be extra vigilant during minor tumbles, or risk leaving an expensive stylus behind.
Aside from that mechanical quirk, the S26 Ultra is an absolute triumph that easily earns its crown.

The smoothness of the S25 Ultra

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The video editing with the AI text to photo is amazing. Being able to talk to your phone and have it complete tasks saves a lot of time. The S26 Ultra is extremely fast on everything I've done e on the phone.

Absolutely the BEST phone available
on May 25, 2026
Posted by: CaptKaaaveman
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my Galaxy S26 Ultra 16 gb 1 tb of storage. I was torn between waiting for the Fold 8 wide, but the 16gb and 1tb of power is actually quite impressive. I have no hesitation, lag nor problems at all. Zero. This S26 Ultra plays CoDM on maximum settings both visually and frame rate. When I've got a fast internet connection with wifi I can play as though it was a computer with a graphic card. From a phone. Absolutely insane! The camera is fast, beautiful and easy to use. The ai turns my phone into a friend who ALWAYS acts happy to chatter back at me. Like an real actual human. Then the ai let's set up too many things to type out. This IS the best phone available today from a pure use and power stance yet the phone feels and looks the part also. Yep call me a fan boy if you want this Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 16gb 1tb is easily the best money I've spent in a while. I intend on using this thing for 2-4 years.

This device offers exceptional functionality.
on May 25, 2026
Posted by: Greatphone28
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would rate my Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra overall around a 9 out of 10. So far, my experience with the device has been very positive. One of the best features is definitely the display quality. The screen is bright, sharp, and smooth, which makes watching videos, scrolling through apps, and even reading much more enjoyable. The performance is also excellent. Apps open quickly, multitasking feels seamless, and I have not experienced any major lag or freezing issues during everyday use.
Another feature I really enjoy is the camera system. The photos come out detailed and vibrant, especially in good lighting, and the zoom capabilities are impressive. Night mode has also improved a lot compared to older devices, making low-light pictures look clearer and more natural. Battery life has been reliable as well. Even with heavy daily use such as streaming, social media, taking photos, and messaging, the phone lasts throughout the day without needing constant charging.
The design of the phone feels premium and modern. It is comfortable to hold despite being a larger device, and the build quality feels very durable. I also appreciate the customization options and features that Samsung includes with its software, allowing the phone to feel more personalized and user-friendly.
The reason I would not give it a perfect 10 is because there are still a few small things that could improve, such as the price being quite high and some apps occasionally using a lot of battery in the background.

The phone is well constructed, feels solid, but you will still appreciate a case.
Wish samsung would incorporate magsafe into their phones
For what you pay, it is top of the line for a phone today.
