Disappointed - Not up to Samsung standards
on October 3, 2026
Posted by: GGAmma
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to upgrade from S24 Ultra to S26 Ultra. We have been very loyal Samsung users for nearly 15 yrs and have always been happy. Do not get me wrong, there is always going to be, the one off, problematic device here and there. TVs have always been great as well. The tablet on the fridge, that was garage.
1st: camera protrudes so far on the front of the device that it problematic. Even with a case on, it still will NOT lie nowhere near flat.
2ND: ONE of my biggest gripes, voice to text. It does not matter whether I am screaming at it or speaking in a normal tone in a completely quiet area, it still messes up my words. It could be something simple to something extreme and it cannot get it right. It chooses to make my words conjunctions versus the words I am actually speaking. If I wanted it to type "I'm" I would say "I'm" but I want it to type "I am" because that is proper when you are typing verses the verbal conversation. AND no matter what, after how many years, you still cannot spell either one of my children's names correctly. 🙄
3rd:, I can no longer use my stylus as a shutter button for the camera.
4th, accuracy of the touch screen is tremendously off. I keep losing my game because it thinks I am tapping a place that I did not tap and not the actual place I did that.
5th: Over heating. This is hotter then my Note 8 ever got.
6th: Not always capitalizing the 1st word in my sentences.
I cannot wait to trade this version out for the next one ugh 😫

I LOVE THE CAMERA
on October 3, 2026
Posted by: Naturelover33
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently, I upgraded my phone and I chose the Samsung Galaxy S 26 Ultra. I was NOT disappointed! I love the thin and sleek feel of this phone with the completely flat screen, rounded corners and fun colors. It's such an aesthetically pleasing device! But the inside is just as good... If you love to take crisp, clear, photos from your phone, this device has your back in that department! I'm amazed at the quality of the photo even after you zoom in a lot! The colors are vibrant and the picture is so clean!!
I was slightly worried about transferring info from my old phone but Samsung and my new device made it a BREEZE! And it's like I'm using my older device just far better and newer!!
This a great device for your next smartphone upgrade!!

My favorite
on October 3, 2026
Posted by: Lexi000
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung s22 ultra so many years ago because LG had discontinued making phones and I really needed a new phone that was similar and had a stylus. My friend who was a previous Samsung note owner had suggested I ger the S22 because it was similar. And it was I fell madly in love with my phone and the burgundy color. Now all thse years later ive switched to rhe S26 ultra and its the same amazing phone/style with some really good upgrades.

Better than the last phone
on October 3, 2026
Posted by: Desha85
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't think Samsung can get any better but the s26 ultra is the best phone I've ever had. I absolutely love the features still learning but so far I'm in love.... Not to mention how great the battery life is and how fast it charges I never have to worry about not having a working phone ever again. I'll forever be an Samsung user as long as the production of their products keep being consistent

I just love Samsung products
on October 3, 2026
Posted by: KingKash
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose Samsung long time ago with the Galaxy Note and been a fan ever since. Its the only brand of phone I'll ever own. I use the stylus in multiple ways. I really appreciate it for the selfies because it's hard to get everyone and click the button to take the picture. Samsung pay is the best and I don't know what I'd do without it and the perks

Awesome privacy screen mode
on October 3, 2026
Posted by: DarkAce
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to get the Samsung s26 Ultra because I had the previous model and really loved it, so it was only natural that I upgraded to the S26 Ultra when my last phone broke. I use it everyday for work and it has not failed me yet. The privacy screen feature on it is really interesting and I haven't seen it in any other phone. I also really enjoy using the stylus built into the phone.

My S22 Ultra and Galaxy Watch 8 Make Life Easier
on October 3, 2026
Posted by: Ansari
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using my Samsung S22 Ultra for a few years now, and it is still my main phone every day. I use it for almost everything—work, emails, taking pictures and videos, watching YouTube, browsing, and keeping up with my family. The camera is one of my favorite features, especially the zoom, and the S Pen comes in handy when I need to quickly write something down.
I also use my Galaxy Watch 8 every day, and I really like how well it works together with my phone. I can quickly check calls, messages, notifications, steps, and other daily activities without always taking my phone out. It is especially useful when I am busy or on the go.
What I like most is how the phone and watch feel connected and make everyday things a little more convenient. I chose Samsung because I like the features, customization, and how everything works together. Even after using my S22 Ultra for a long time, I am still happy with it and continue discovering useful features.

Samsung Galaxy ultra

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose Galaxy S25 because I have used Samsung for many years and like the smoothness and versatility. I am disappointed the messaging app was discontinued.
