Good quality phone
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: ADuharte
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since I bought my S26 Ultra I have had no issues. It is my personal phone. Regarding performance I believe it is outstanding, the Snapdragon Gen Elite 5 for Galaxy is way better than the one in the S25 Ultra. I have noticed a great improvement in performance and that it has not overheated. My S25 Ultra did overheat from time to time. The display is very good, arguably the best in the market. I have solved the privacy screen issue regarding diminished resolution by just activating it for certain applications and notifications. Pertaining to the camera I have noticed an improvement in photo and video quality due to the bigger aperture on the lens, which lets more light in. Galaxy AI is improved, especially with Now Nudge. ONE UI is extremely optimized, which for me has translated in longer battery life. Great improvement also in charging time and stability. When I had the S25 Ultra many times charging was slower than what it should normally take. I have not experienced that with my S26 Ultra. In conclusion, here are the areas where I believe the upcoming S27 Ultra has to improve over the S26 Ultra in order to be worth the upgrade, true 10-bit M14 display, substantial upgrades to cameras, and at least 5,500 mAh of battery capacity. One last minor improvement, which can be solved with an upcoming software update would be to allow the Samsung Weather widget to expand from the maximum of 4x2 to 4x4. I had that option for a little bit when I owned the S25 Ultra but it went away.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone transfers everything from old phone with ease, it gets to know you and reacts to me personally in ways I never could've imagined. The s-pen is smooth amd very convenient. There's so much to say but hard to focus on just handful of things when its so great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best Galaxy so far. The Galaxy AI is so intuitive and flows with everyday use.
The privacy display works smoothly. It's perfect for those who don't require 24/7 screen privacy. Love it so far.

Samsung S26 ultra
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Best2buy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is a powerhouse for users who want the best in performance and privacy. Released in March 2026, it features a massive 6.9-inch display and a specialized Privacy Display that prevents pedestrians from snooping on your screen.
Key Specifications
Processor: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (customized for Galaxy)
Camera: 200MP main sensor with improved f/1.4 aperture for low light
Battery: 5,000mAh with upgraded 65W fast charging
Build: Slimmer and lighter aluminum frame with Gorilla Glass Armor 2
Why You Should Buy It
This phone is ideal if you value high-fidelity photography and elite processing power. Its improved low-light video and "Horizontal Lock" stabilization make it a top choice for capturing detailed content, while the 7-year update commitment ensures it remains a long-term investment. While its large size can be unwieldy for some, the S Pen and cutting-edge AI features like "Now Nudge" make it a premier tool for multitasking and organization.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really wish samsung would offer an Ultra with the same performance in a slightly smaller package.. like who's hand is this fitting in!
Galaxy Ai is super fun to use when making photos more animated or adding/removing objects.
I game a lot and samsung has made it super easy to check walk through or youtube for tips and tricks.

Even better than before

I have been a faithful user of Samsung phones for well over a decade, and I just can't express how great the new Samsung S26 Ultra is...far above all the others from Samsung let alone all other products n phones on todays shelves. I just can't stress how great the AI feature is above any other phone products . It's possiblely the best resolution I have ever had on a Samsung product to date. The battery seems to outlast all others since I can start my day with 100%charged n by the time I get home in the evening I still have plenty of life left. The durability of the Samsung S26 Ultra is top of the line , I have dropped my phone several times n it still looks like it did when I took it out of the box. I can't even express how awesome my pictures come out ,such resolution is amazing. I can even search with just a shot of an image with the camera n it pulls up whatever I want to know about the image I searched. I could not be a happier faithful user of Samsung n will continue to be. I just don't imagine them topping themselves this product.
I would recommend this to a friend!
