Samsung Galaxy 26 Ultra
on March 16, 2026
Posted by: Jessica
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am enjoying my new Galaxy S26 Ultra. I love the privacy display feature. It's cool how you can turn it on for only certain apps. It has a great camera, and I love the photo editing. I can easily use Galaxy AI to delete things from photos and make them look better or remove audio from a video. My neighbors speak Spanish, and I am excited to try the interpreter with them since we always have to call someone to translate for us. Creative Studio is such a fun app to play with. I had fun using AI to make fun new images of my dog. I highly recommend the new Galaxy S26 Ultra!

Upgraded from a s22 ultra. Nice, with a few bugs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone comes with "Galaxy AI". Irrelevant... but hey. I get an additional entry it states.
I upgraded from a s22 ultra. I needed a new phone.
Pros: New technology. Works very well. Cameras are great as usual. And of course.... its samsung.
Cons: Gonna state the obvious, which i already knew.
• No Bluetooth s pen.
• No curved edges (loved that feature)
• Cannot get Samsung messages on it for some reason. Tried every tutorial. Fail. It isn't in the store. I anticipated this will come in time.
• Still have not figured out how to rearrange my quick panel. (I'm sure will come later).
• No real discount offered this time. Bring back the Free and really cheap with trade ins!

Over all I'm pleased with this phone. Usually as with samsung products. I'm excited to see what the future holds.

S26 ultra - A true next- Generation smartphone
on March 16, 2026
Posted by: Shay4849
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After spending time with the S36 Ultra, I can honestly say this is one of the most impressive smartphones Samsung has ever created. From the moment you pick it up, the device feels premium, powerful, and thoughtfully designed. The display is absolutely stunning. Samsung continues to lead the industry with its Ultra dynamic AMOLED screen, delivering vibrant colors, deep contrast and exceptional brightness. Whether I'm watching videos, browsing photos or simply scrolling through apps, everything looks incredibly crisp and smooth. Performance has been excellent. The s26 ultra feels incredibly fast & responsive. The camera system is one my favorite features. Photos come out sharp & vibrant, even in low light. The zoom is especially impressive and makes it easy to capture details from far away. Battery life has been very reliable & phone charge last all day. Overall the s26 ultra is powerful, beautifully designed smartphone. It delivers excellent performance, an amazing display and a camera system that truly stands out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the new Galaxy s26 Ultra. Privacy screen and embedded AI features are tow of the many great things. The speed and the camera are the next two improvements. The UI8.5 and Android 26 are very intuitve.

All is good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra feels less like a radical reinvention and more like a highly polished tool. Having upgraded from the S23 Ultra, the transition is seamless, though perhaps a bit too familiar for those looking for a "wow" factor.
The Hardware & Battery
Physically, there isn't much to report—it retains the similar form factor with no obviously exciting changes to the aesthetic. If you were hoping for a bold new look, this isn't it. Furthermore, battery life remains consistent with previous generations; while reliable, I didn't notice any significant gains in longevity.

The Standout Features
Where this phone actually earns its keep is in the software and display technology:
Galaxy AI Integration: This is easily the most improved aspect of the daily experience. The AI tools are deeply baked into the OS, and I find myself using them multiple times a day—specifically for search, which has become much more intuitive.
Privacy Display: This is the true "innovation" of the S26 series. The new display tech is incredibly helpful for maintaining privacy in public. The app-specific privacy function is particularly clever, allowing you to shield sensitive information on a per-app basis without compromising the entire viewing experience.

If you are coming from an S23 Ultra, you aren't getting a brand-new look or better battery, but you are getting a much smarter device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon unboxing, this phone is the real deal! Lighter than I was expecting. Setup was a breeze. The Galaxy AI features are helpful and not bothersome like other AI things in this world. Overall, this phone gets 10 out of 10 for all of the features included.
Based on upgrading from the S23 Ultra.
