[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is amazing all the apps from the Galaxy shop are great there's so many different features to play with and customize to your liking all the AI capabilities are great. Got the one terabyte version and I immediately maxed out the virtual RAM. Can't wait to get some buds and better case with some cool magnetic accessories.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is easily one of the best devices I’ve used for both streaming and gaming. The display is the standout feature—bright, ultra-smooth, and incredibly sharp. Whether you're watching movies or bingeing shows, the colors pop and the detail feels almost cinematic. Paired with powerful stereo speakers, it delivers a truly immersive experience. For gaming, this phone is a beast. Performance is fast and consistent, even with demanding titles. There’s no noticeable lag, frame drops, or overheating during long sessions. The high refresh rate keeps everything fluid, and the touch response is precise, which makes a real difference in competitive games. Battery life holds up impressively well too. I can stream for hours or game heavily without constantly worrying about charging, and fast charging gets you back up quickly when needed. What really sets it apart, though, is Galaxy AI—it’s phenomenal. From smart performance optimization while gaming to enhancing video quality during streaming, it quietly elevates the entire experience without you having to think about it. Overall, the S26 Ultra delivers top-tier power and entertainment. If streaming and gaming matter to you, this phone absolutely delivers.
I've used samsung phones for over 15 years and this one is my least favorite. Many of the personalization features are gone. Battery life is good and camera works well but I have to reset my device multiple times per day for my text or email to come through. Constantly updating my apps because it does not do it automatically. Wish I could return it for my S24 :(
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and it has completely redefined what I expect from a smartphone.
The Galaxy AI features are smarter and more intuitive than ever. Circle to Search, real-time Live Translate, and AI note assistance are part of my daily routine. The on-device AI feels faster and more accurate with every use.
The camera system is breathtaking. Every shot comes out sharp, detailed, and true to life whether in bright sunlight or low light. The zoom range and video capabilities are truly in a class of their own.
The S Pen experience is smoother and more responsive than any previous generation. Writing, sketching, and annotating feels completely natural on the stunning large display.
Performance is exceptional across everything I do, from streaming and gaming to managing school projects and work tasks. The battery easily handles a full day of heavy use without any concern.
Samsung has raised the bar once again. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is the most powerful and intelligent smartphone I have ever used. It is the only device a serious user will ever need.
Enjoyable photo and video customization in gallery

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Editing photos and videos taken from my Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has been so easy with Galaxy AI. Being able to effortlessly correct photos and videos has made my experience with this device so much more enjoyable.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just recently received my new device but already feels like I took 3 years in the future as the system is so fluid it comes naturally....
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The battery doesn't stay charger that long it's drops quickly. Anytime I use maps it zooms out of the mad and take it to another area in town but is still giving me directions. Some of the apps will still play in the background with the sound even If I clear them. I ha e to restart the phone constantly.
The Galaxy S26 Ult is everything I could hope for!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned the Galaxy S26 Ultra for about a month and it has exceeded my expectations. The main new features are the Galaxy AI and the privacy screen setting. I use them both daily. I am still getting used to the AI but it hasn't made my life any more difficult, so that's a benefit. This phone is noticeably more powerful than my old S24 Plus even though it's specs are similar. Not sure how that was managed technically but I noticed the difference. The S26 Ultra is so well-balanced in its weight distribution that I haven't had a single "slip and catch" or accidental drop. I had that issue with the S24 and didn't realize it was the slightly unbalanced phone and not me being clumsy until I got the S26 Ultra. This is particularly impressive considering the pro-quality camera should make it top heavy but it doesn't. My absolute fave feature IS the camera. It is by far the best I have ever used and the flashlight is more powerful than my previous phone. I was skeptical about upgrading my S24 since I thought it was a wonderful phone at the time. I am so glad I did!
