Review of s26 ultra
on March 21, 2026
Posted by: Dobetter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a lot of problems with the Samsung Galaxy s26 Ultra if I try to watch a video it will constantly try to put itself to sleep if I'm not watching a video and just set it down it stays on. Bigsby is a joke. With the galaxy AI I can't register my voice because all It keeps saying is did not recognize. So Bixby just turns on and off randomly but never answers to my voice when I say the wake up phrase. Speak into the microphone and then read what it writes afterwards most of the time is nowhere near what I said. And for having 12 gigs of RAM this thing is slow or it could just be the processor or everything about the phone that makes it slow. And yes I have it switched on to where it's not supposed to turn off or go to sleep while you're watching it a lot of the apps are buggy. I would like to play some games on it but I'm not even going to try because it probably just make it crash way too much for it. So far I've only had a week but I'm not too happy with it it would be nice if this review mattered somehow but I know you guys are just going to look at it shrug it off and start worrying more about your pockets again, and to be honest I should have stuck with my last Galaxy phone too late now.

Not worth the hype
on March 22, 2026
Posted by: Maugham
I've been playing around with the phone and I gotta say I'm not impressed. Quite honestly I hate the bulky feeling it has due to the raised camera. I'm also upset to hear that the phone is now aluminum vs the titanium. The only feature I can say I like is the privacy screen. I feel like samsung is trying to hard to be like other big name brands. I've been a samsung lover for years but I'm seriously contemplating returning this and switching to a new brand entirely due to this new lineup.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The camera is awsome. Great features, clear photos and good zoom. The display is big and has vivid colors. Love the new privacy feature and it out performs all the other phones I have!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worst Ultra I've ever had
on April 2, 2026
Posted by: Noneya
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had many Samsung Ultra's and this is by far the worst. Glitches galore. If you copy some text, the "Copied" notification bubble (for lack of better words) at the bottom of the screen doesn't leave the screen until you manipulate the phone to make it go away. It does that with alot of the phone's text bubbles. Makes it hard to read text messages until you get rid of it. It'll tell me I have text messages that are unread, which I don't, and so I have to go into my settings and click "Mark as read" for the notification to go away. None of my other Ultras did this.

I love the new ultra. It's exceptionally made.
on April 7, 2026
Posted by: Angelface
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the new Ultra. It’s exceptionally fast, smooth, and honestly makes everything easier day to day. The display is bright and crisp, and the battery easily keeps up with me, even when I’m using it all day for streaming, social media, and staying organized.
One of my favorite features is Galaxy AI. It really feels like having a built-in assistant that helps with everything from writing to searching and even organizing my thoughts. It saves time and makes things feel effortless.
The camera is also incredible. Pictures come out sharp, detailed, and vibrant without needing to edit much at all. Whether I’m taking quick photos or capturing important moments, it always delivers.
I use my Samsung device for a little bit of everything—watching shows, managing daily tasks, connecting with family, and even helping with creative projects—and it handles it all without slowing down.
Overall, this phone just feels reliable, powerful, and smart. Definitely one of the best upgrades I’ve made.
