Upgrade from a s24 ultra
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Chacho
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 for a little while now and it’s easily one of the most polished smartphones Samsung has released. The performance is incredibly smooth — apps open instantly, multitasking feels effortless, and everything just runs fast without lag.
The display is stunning as expected from Samsung. Colors are vibrant, the brightness is excellent outdoors, and watching videos or scrolling through photos looks amazing. The camera system is another highlight. Photos come out sharp with great dynamic range, and low-light shots are noticeably improved compared to my previous phone.
One feature I’ve really enjoyed is Galaxy AI. It adds genuinely useful tools rather than gimmicks. From helping summarize information to improving photos and making everyday tasks quicker, the AI features feel practical and well integrated into the phone.
Battery life has also been very reliable. I can comfortably get through a full day of heavy use with plenty of charge left by the evening. Charging is quick too, which is great when you need a fast top-up.
Overall, the Galaxy S26 feels like a premium, well-refined device. Between the performance, camera quality, beautiful display, and the helpful Galaxy AI features, it’s been a great upgrade and I’m very happy with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just love that this new model is so lightweight compared to my previous phone. I'm a fan of files transfer from old device to new one- flawless as usual.

Overall good phone, definite upgrade
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Kyosuke
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI function is very useful for making my notes more organized and helping me get through tasks throughout the day without having to actually touch my phone. Phone is very light, even with a case on. I've read and seen other reviews of people talking about quality degradation due to the privacy feature, but I've yet to experience that. One downside is the new camera bump, it makes it very hard to set the phone down on the back without it wobbling, especially with the magnetic case sold by Samsung.

Reasons to buy the new S26 Ultra = pros and cons
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: AndressaR
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: Effective privacy display by app/system as a whole, looks good from the front.
Fast Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 + strong AI NPU.
Excellent cameras with brighter apertures and insane video stabilization.
Faster charging: 60W wired / 25W wireless.
Cons: Minor upgrade compared to the S25 Ultra (same cameras/battery/RAM/UFS 4.0).
The screen is still 8-bit / 2600 nits, no increase to 10-bit/brightness.
No RAM increase (LPDDR5X limits for heavy multitasking).
Aluminum frame (less premium than titanium). S Pen, no Bluetooth.
Screen-to-body ratio lost 2.7. Less effective anti-reflective coating.
No evolution in the front camera. Very expensive battery charger! • Requires a magnetic case for magnetic wireless charging.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phones has a great livid screen, from watching series to gaming, it's really smooth and nice. And now with the privacy feature, that's a win. The galaxy ai has help me a lot, that being for browsing the web or to edit my pictures like a pro. That camera takes one of the best pictures, even better than my pro camera.
