A surprisingly slender powerhouse
on March 26, 2026
Posted by: AGalacticalBigCat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I mostly use my phone for daily browsing and news as well as staying reachable for work, it has proven to be an invaluable asset.
In my downtime, the device is the pinnacle in easy browsing and the Galaxy Ai's conversation assistant has even helped me better understand the requests made by my wife.
Just today I used Gemini to help determine if the pickled eggs i had eaten would make me ill, which I found profoundly comforting.
All in all, I would highly recommend this phone to anyone with the funds to spare!

This phone is the most amazing phone of all time
on March 26, 2026
Posted by: Joeshmoelovesphone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is amazing. It runs smoothly and soundly with no issues. Camera takes amazing pictures, privacy mode is great when out in public, built-in barcode scanner on the camera so you no longer have to download an app. Galaxy ai mode seems updated faster responses better answers looks up anything I ask. I used the AI mode every single day. Screen quality and picture is amazing for watching movies YouTube shows. It works well with my Samsung Galaxy 4 pro buds the music sounds amazing show sound amazing lots of bass guitar solos really hit as well as rap songs with heavy Bass. I love this phone so much

More new features, new learning curve?
on March 26, 2026
Posted by: jauto123
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like the newer features and improved version over the older S22 Ultra, like the camera, privacy screen, the higher screen resolution, faster processor and more.
But I'm having difficulty and frustrating experiences with repeated security login requests for locked screens, private folders and different Applications. Most of my passwords are in locked files and my biometrics logins were working fine to access them on the old phone but switching to new phone required me to re-login into evey app and security screen. I couldn't access passwords in locked folders because I had to verify it's me who made changes and the request wasn't clear if it's my Samsung account or phone password or folder password? And not being able to open my notes Applications has me locked out and frustrated. Please fix this redundant sign in feature.

Loving this phone so far
on March 26, 2026
Posted by: UltraUserNY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Galaxy S24 Ultra for a few weeks now, and it’s easily one of the best phones I’ve owned. The performance is incredibly smooth whether I’m multitasking for work, streaming, or gaming. I rely on my phone heavily throughout the day, and this one keeps up without any lag.
One of my favorite features is Galaxy AI. The live translation and note assist tools have actually made a difference in how I handle communication and stay organized. It feels like the phone is helping me work smarter, not just faster.
The camera is another standout. The zoom is impressive, and photos come out sharp and vibrant in almost any lighting. I’ve been using it for everything from everyday moments to more detailed shots, and it consistently delivers.
Battery life has also been solid—I can get through a full day of use without worrying about charging constantly, which is a huge plus for my schedule.
Overall, this phone fits seamlessly into both my work and personal life. Whether I’m handling tasks on the go, watching content, or capturing memories, it performs at a high level across the board.

Replaces S23 Plus with S26 Ultra
on March 26, 2026
Posted by: Andy123
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced my s23 Plus with an S26 Ultra since I often had to charge teh S23 early in the evening. I received the S26 a few weeks ago. The first thing I noticed was teh S26U screen is easier to read. I tried the privacy display and did not notice andy change in clarity, but it prevented me from using the phone when it was angled to my face. I turned it off for normal use but will use it when concerned about shoulder surfing.
I am experimenting with the pen and like the ability to take notes when teh phone is locked. It will take a while to get used to the lack of resistance when writting on glass verses paper. I have not seen any issues using it with my non-Samsung magnetic case but be careful on which case you buy. There are on-line video showing which cases are compatable with the pen.
Since I use my phone primarily for calls, text, email and wb browsing, I haven't yet tried Galaxy AI nor taking pictures. I will try those soon.
At night I used the same wireless charger I used with my S23 Plus. If fully charges the phone while I am sleeping. I have a 25W car charger but haven't used it enough to see the decrease in charging time. I initally charged my phone using Supper Fast Charging by pluggin it into a 65W charger. The phone quickly charged and did not feel warm.
The S26 Ultra is a good replacement for the S23 Plus.
