So so (1500 chars not enough for good review))
on March 21, 2026
Posted by: SammyFanSteve
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start by saying I upgraded to the S26 ultra from an S24 ultra. Overall I’m not impressed. I’m guessing the tech change curve is slowing down and two years doesn’t get you what it used to. Neither cpu, screen, battery, nor camera improved as much as between my S20 to S22 nor my S22 to S24.
While I notice a slight increase in speed it isn't leaps and bounds better.
I was really disappointed that the display was NOT 10bit as originally touted. Hoping to see what difference it would have made. While display is a bit brighter the adaptive brightness still doesn’t work for me. Samsung needs to allow the user to adjust it. IE set minimum/maximum over which it adjusts. And the privacy display is a nice gimmick but not worth the loss of screen brightness.
One of my biggest complaints is with the camera bump out. If you lay phone down on desk it rocks something fierce. Perhaps Samsung can look at rotating it 90 degrees and center it vertically across the top edge of the phone. The camera larger aperture has improved pictures in low light slightly. Camera tech has maxed out and only increasing pixel count and improving optical zoom are left. AI can't fix this you just can’t create accurate picture content that wasn’t captured to start with.
As for the AI it seldom suggests things I find useful.
Please bring back Spen remote picture taking.
Overall I’m still a Sammy fan and will most likely buy again, though I may wait three years next time. Had more to say but not enough roo

S26 Ultra is a step in the right direction!
on March 21, 2026
Posted by: CamJam
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The transition from the S24 Ultra to the S26 Ultra represents a significant advancement in design, complemented by notable enhancements in artificial intelligence and display technology. My preference for the Ultra series is primarily driven by the integral S Pen, which significantly contributes to my daily productivity.

on March 21, 2026
Posted by: Clecle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy AI, the anti-spy screen feature, the fastest processor the world has ever witnessed have really impacted my life alot from my routine tasks like making calls, multitasking on different tabs to heavy tasks like playing high end video games like my favorite game "Subnautica: Below Zero", CarX street and eFootball 2026. Since I got this phone I am nolonger having panic attacks because now I am living the future in present times, Thanks Samsung for saving my life.
