[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI is a really nice new feature. The reduced battery consumption of the new chip is significantly better than the S24 Ultra. Very happy with the AI, processor improvements, and better battery life!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is best for everything I do on a daily basis I would drop another 1300 this phone is worh the price .
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love how they have 60 watt fast charging and 25 wireless beem able to keep phone charged and love the privacy screen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung 26 Ultra is by far the BEST. I buy a new Ultra every year when they are released. The camera and clarity is phenomenal! You really can zoom in across the street and your photo looks as is it was a few feet away. Galaxy AI simplifies my daily life tasks and makes life easier with photo assist. The S26 has a feature called Nudge that can suggest photos ans actions based on your conversations. I just learned that it identifies PDF documents for quick PDF saving. I could go on and on. This phone is simply state of the art in technology for a mobile device. Get you one and find out!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone is just okay. It's loaded with a bunch of Galaxy AI features most people won't care about or even want.
The privacy display is a cool feature in theory, but that's where it ends. In reality the privacy display just dims the screen and makes it a little darker when viewed from an angle, but it is still easily viewable and readable. Hopefully Samsung will improve the privacy display if they continue to use it on future models.
The material the phone is made of is also subpar. Just from trying on 2 different cases there is a spot on my phone where the colour has been rubbed off.
It's a shame Samsung chose to spend so much time pushing features nobody wants, while completely neglecting any development or improvement of hardware and features their customers have been asking for for years now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this phone for 2 weeks so far. It is performing well and charges quickly. Smart Switch worked well to transfer data from my previous model. I love the cobalt violet color. I haven't had a chance to use Galaxy AI very much yet.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgrading from my previous device, this phone feels like a big step forward in every way. The battery life is noticeably better and easily lasts through a full day of use without any concerns. The display is sharper, brighter, and more vibrant, making everything from videos to everyday use look great. The S Pen feels more refined and responsive, which makes it much more enjoyable to use for notes and quick tasks. The overall design is also more attractive and feels premium in hand. Galaxy AI features have been a nice addition and actually useful in day-to-day use, helping streamline tasks and improve the overall experience. Overall, this device feels faster, smoother, and more polished. It was absolutely worth upgrading.
