Great upgrade from the S23+ to the S26 Ultra!

Coming from the S23+, using the S26 Ultra is such a huge upgrade. It's my first time transferring phones from Samsung to Samsung and it was very seamless. Everything transfered really quick.
The camera was also so good. I was already impressed with my previous device's camera but the S26 Ultra's camera wow-ed me even more. I can't wait to take loads of photos with it!
On to the new privacy display, what can I say? It's really good. I have been using it a lot especially when I am out in public. It's really innovative! Though just as a note, the screen does get a bit dimmer when you have the privacy display on which isn't a big deal for me but something to point out.
Battery is also really good! I only charge it up to 85% on a daily but it can last me the whole day which I am really happy about since I don't really like carrying a powerbank all the time.
Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase. It is a huge upgrade for me, and it is definitely worth it!

It really was power on and all go. Love the feel of the rounded edges, the excellent and easier camera and the vibrant colour pallet. My new 'go to' mobile!

Great upgrade - worth it!

A massive step up from the S23 Ultra. The camera and speed are fantastic, but the real winner is the battery life - I'm getting two full days compared to the one day I got on my S23U (even with a new battery). It’s also significantly lighter and more comfortable to hold. The display is crisp and the build quality feels truly premium. Very happy with the upgrade.

Highly impressed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The transition between my old S23 and my new 26 Ultra was super easy. The new features of the S26 Ultra are awesome and I especially love the creative studio. The camera is obvious high quality and the battery life seems really solid. Great high definition images and it moves at a very high speed. I am very impressed and I have hardly even scratched the surface.

Amazing step up!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm really loving the battery life. This has been noticeably a improved even compare to my S25 ultra.
The new privacy screen has been amazing and a really fun demo to show off to friends and family.
The camera is trippy amazing and I have been especially loving the new super stwady with horizon lock.
Performance is great! Battery charges fast. I'm yet to test out the QI2.2 but am excited to do that in the near future :)

The Perfect Phone for Me, and for Everyone
on March 29, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra packs a massive battery that easily lasts all day without a single charge. Thanks to its incredibly fast charging speed, a quick boost in the morning is all I need to power through the entire day.
The camera performance is a massive leap forward compared to my previous phone, and the 100x zoom is simply fantastic.
One standout feature is the new Privacy Display. Being able to customize it for individual apps—like banking or message notifications—is an absolute game-changer for privacy.
In terms of performance, it handles every app and game with extreme smoothness and power. What impressed me the most is that I barely felt any heat even during heavy use, which is a huge plus in my book.
Truly the perfect smartphone.
