Great phone! The battery is incredible!
on April 8, 2026
Posted by: Aj2828
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new phone. I went from an S21 ultra to an S26 ultra. I love all the new features. The camera quality is amazing and now with the upgraded storage space I don't have to delete old videos or pictures to make space for more. I am still getting used to having an S-Pen so I haven't really used it much but it is nice because my daughter can use it to draw and color directly on my phone.
The battery life is incredible. My s21 I was always carrying a charger with me and charged it multiple times a day. On the S26 the battery life is amazing. I have a fast charger and it actually charges super fast compared to my old phone using the same charger. I'll have music playing throughout the day and stream sports and movies on my phone and never feel like it is draining my battery.
The privacy screen is pretty neat as well! There is also a button on the keyboard to help with responses using A.I. whenever I'm stuck formulating a response.
The only thing that keeps it from being 5 stars is that I have trouble with the Bluetooth. Some devices have trouble connecting and I have to keep trying to connect until it actually does. I believe this is something they're working on fixing but overall it is a great phone !

S26 ultra too expensive and no Bluetooth on stylus pen, instead of moving forward with new technology, it's going backwards. It's a shame

Nothing Special
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: SamsungT23
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There's really nothing that stands out on the new S26 ultra. Coming from an S23 Ultra,i feel it's similar. The privacy display they promoted is still a work in-progress feature. The Galaxy AI is useful, but they can still make it better

Display causes eye strain, dizziness and naseous
on March 12, 2026
Posted by: bteezy52
from Arizona
The S26 ultra causes eye strain, dizziness and nauseousness. I have had Samsun my whole life and recently the S24 Ultra for two years and have had no issues, I also have perfect vision. The display on the S26ultra is not well made or changed to cause these health issues, I am using the same settings and have adjusted setting and nothing resolves the issue. Like many on social media and Samsung forums, I will be returning the phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not what I expected
on March 12, 2026
Posted by: Stormi70
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Phone transfer was not smooth. Had to attempt twice. Once completed, it was still missing several apps
Home screen did not populate from my last phone and had to manually add my apps. Then phone seems to freeze often. Annoying and unwanted search bar defaults to yahoo.com and cannot be disabled and cannot figure out to switch it to Google. Pages take longer to load and sometimes do not load at all. I've had to reboot several times in less than a week.
Samsung please help!!
