Great so far
on March 16, 2026
Posted by: LDom91
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This version of the Galaxy family has not changed a whole lot from the S25. The few things is has changed has been the rounder corners of the phone itself. Although it's slightly more rounded it doesn't take away from the screen at all.
The location of the S-Pen has changed too. It's closer to the corner and to be honest it is a little annoying having to make sure the correct side is facing up so it can fit inside correctly.
The quality of the screen has changed and it has better resolution. Right out of the box it is set to a lower setting by default, so you would have to adjust it to see the difference.

I've only had it for a few days so I'm still playing with the different features,but I would say it's been great so far.

Good upgrade
on March 16, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] S26 ultra is really good, the display is better compared to s25 ultra. I privacy display is really nice to have for specific apps only instead of everything. Galaxy AI is really useful has more features when compared to other Samsung mobile way better feature when compared to other company mobiles. One UI 8.5 is also good and customizable.

Overall solid upgrade, with some drawbacks
on March 16, 2026
Posted by: spence
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded from a S23 Ultra to the S26 Ultra due to the special trade-in offer, and while there are some great improvements, I have some mixed feelings.
I really like the new rounded edges and design language of the S26, although, the even larger camera bump is slightly annoying when the phone is on a desk. The faster charging is a long overdue step forward for Samsung, which was the main reason I upgraded. General battery life, gaming performance, cameras, and overall look & feel is on point.
However, the display is a disappointment. It isn't nearly as sharp or bright as my old S23 Ultra, likely because of the new privacy display. While the idea is cool, it feels like a gimmick, especially in low light. I also find the heavily marketed Galaxy AI features to be useless in daily practice, and I really think it's a bunch of marketing fluff. The term "agentic" is not at all reflective of the experience, and I don't think anybody (except maybe tech executives) wants AI slopware to eat into battery life.
It's a solid phone for the daily use, as the build and charging is quite good, but the screen sharpness and AI bloatware keeps it from being perfect. I'm not sure the MSRP makes sense from a value proposition, especially compared to a previous year S25U.

A Premium Powerhouse with Refined Elegance.
on March 16, 2026
Posted by: Flaco1
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Plus delivers a significant leap in computational power. The display remains sleek, featuring a durable frame and a vibrant Dynamic AMOLED screen. The processing power under the hood is formidable, and the battery longevity is a standout. The camera continues to be impressive and remains a benchmark for mobile phones.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sleek and powerful, love the blue screen and great features.
The camera is great and combined with the Samsung AI makes it fun applying the enhancements.
