My Favorite S Phone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never thought I'd get rid of my S22 Ultra (bought it on release). It worked perfectly and never had any problems up to the day I traded it in. The only reason I switched was for just the updated and faster performance/charging. Now, I'm in love all over again. I can't say enough good about this phone. It's not a crazy update if youre coming from a year old phone, but for me it has been the perfect one.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this phone because of picture quality, the size of the screen, and data storage. Because I use it for taking pix at concerts, watching my favorite shows when I travel or playing Pokémon Go, this was definitely the best phone choice for my lifestyle.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Galaxy S26 Ultra because I wanted a premium phone with a great display, excellent performance, and a decent camera system. Overall, I have enjoyed using it, and it feels like a powerful, capable device for everyday use.
However, I am not a big fan of the aluminum frame. For a phone at the higher price point, I would have preferred a different material that feels more premium. I am also a little disappointed with the Privacy Display. It is an interesting feature, but I expected it to be more effective, and I feel like there is still room for improvement.
Despite these issues, the S26 Ultra is still a great phone with a lot to offer. I just wish a few of its design choices and newer features lived up to their full potential.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the S26 Ultra for many reasons. I had the S24 Ultra. And I was deciding between the S26 or Flip. I went with the S26.
One, I love the stylus. Thats hard to give up. I edit videos a lot and that helps immensely.
Two, the built in privacy screen is a game changer. I take more public transportation now so I don't want people looking at my phone.
Three, it's just an amazing series. Ive has the S series since the 10 and cant change!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently chose to upgrade from my beloved S23 to the S26 Ultra and i can honestly say I'm not disappointed. I love the privacy features and how the phone works. The only thing that is weird is just how top heavy it is. Cameras are nice but I can easily see the phone flipping out of someone's hand. Other than that I'm super happy about my choice!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a former professional photographer, this phone blows me away. How? With this little bit of glass! Lenses used to be very big and bulky, not only that, but having to attach and detach different lenses to accomplish different things. The photo quality, plus ability to shoot macro, or up to 100x zoom with a few clicks of a button is amazing. I like that the light can be turned on now while using the ultra-wide angle lens, something my old s22 wouldn't allow. All in all, the extra battery life, camera, and strength of the new frame, (which already saved this phone from an insurance claim.) all make it apparent to me, that upgrading from my older s22 ultra, was finally really worth it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung has won me over and is worth every penny. I've tried a few brands over the years, and the S26 Ultra is the best phone I've ever seen. No matter what I throw at it from gaming to productivity to my work as a Software Dev, it performs beautifully. And with Samsung Dex, it has replaced my laptop. I see this phone lasting many many many years before feeling old. The only negative I have is the color choices. I chose the white one and put a nice case on it. I also have the Tab S8+ in pink and haven't upgraded mostly because it still feels brand new despite it being a workhorse, but also because of the color choices on the new versions. I think Samsung got me as a lifelong fan.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Galaxy S26 Ultra to serve as my primary workstation on the go, and it has handled every demanding task thrown at it seamlessly. Between drafting documents, organizing business operations, and managing digital files, the large display and crisp resolution make multitasking effortless. The built-in S Pen is indispensable for quick note-taking, sketching diagrams, and precise navigation throughout the day. Beyond work, I rely heavily on this device for media streaming, photography, and capturing detail in high resolution. The camera performance is outstanding, capturing sharp, vivid photos even in challenging outdoor or low-light conditions. Battery life reliably lasts through long working days, and the fast charging capabilities ensure minimal downtime when back on the move. Whether for productivity, streaming, or daily task management, the device offers exceptional power and reliability.
