S26 Ultra 1TB Review
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: S26UltraNOTTHATBAD
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After a few weeks and a couple software updates, the phones initial screen resolution issues seem to have cleared up a bit. I saw many complaints about the privacy screen feature making everything fuzzy, and that is true, it does due to the narrow pixels being new tech for Samsung. It's not bad, and during everyday use you don't really notice it much with just privacy notification pop ups enabled, and only using the privacy screen for certain apps like banking, passwords, etc.
Overall the 1TB 16gb Ram version is a monster with the newest snapdragon optimized chip for Samsung. Benchmarks are fast, and ahead of the game.
Battery life has been really solid..I saw many people complain about poor life, I enabled the "adaptive power saving" mode and it has been learning well to know when I need full power and when I do not. Tweak your power saving settings so you keep the 120hz refresh on and it's normal.
Overall, coming from an S25 Ultra 1TB with the same 16GB of ram, the experience is pretty much identical, smoother corners, better screen brightness, and the same Ultra experience like usual.
I'd recommend the upgrade if you have an older phone than last year's. If the battery life wasn't so bad on my S25 Ultra, this wouldn't be a necessary upgrade.
Galaxy AI is a joke as usual. They definitely shove that down your throat. Only cool thing is with photos you can now add in images with Google AI. "It's not really samsungs"

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the camera on this phone. The pictures are awesome. I look forward to taking great pictures wherever I go.
The privacy feature is wonderful. I can do things and not have prying eyes see.
I am always amazed whenever I upgrade to the newer phone at how much better it is from the previous. I have been a Samsung lover since the beginning. I have fun creating characters with the new AI features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really enjoying the s26 ultra - all the normal capabilities and much more comfortable to hold. Galaxy AI has become much more useful, though wish you could do more directly in the gallery with modifying pictures with it. The nudges are awesome though

Great phone
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: AlexRN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great phone. The Galaxy AI feature is awesome! I'm a nursing student and I use it to explain concepts to me. It is better than other AIs I've used in the past. Also, the quality of the camera is outstanding. The pictures you can take are on pro-level. The size, weight and the feel is great as well, and overall the phone looks solid and "expensive". I got mine in white, and I have a clear cover.... It just looks awesome! I love samsung products, all my electronics are samsung.
