4 1/2 actually. Almost a 5

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought an S26 Ultra after coming from a 6 year old A71 5G. So, in my case it's a dramatic leap. Even though I've upgraded from a 6 year old mid range device I've played with a lot of phones over the years whether it be friend's phones or in store demo models. I appreciate all the AI features this phone has but have yet to really mess around with them in depth. That said, it's clear that the AI features are incredibly advanced and capable. The cameras are awesome in my book. I know some people say they're in need of an upgrade but I find the cameras very capable. As an Android device, I appreciate the customization. I love the fact this phone will have 7 years of software updates as I tend to keep phones a long time before upgrading.
Now for the negative....I do wish the S-Pen had built in Bluetooth that still had air gestures and to be able to use as a camera shutter in hand. I also feel like the S-Pen is a bit flimsy compared to past S-Pens. I don't care for how narrow it is now. Makes it a little less comfortable to hold and write on the screen and kind of feels like it can easily be snapped into two. I also wish it gad micro SD card support for expandable storage but I got the 1tb model so I'm not going to run out of storage space anytime soon. Other than those complaints it's a great phone and I'm enjoying it. I'm a Samsung guy so I'm a bit biased but I'd recommend an S26 Ultra for anyone wanting a flagship with all the bells & whistles.

Unmatched Performance and Smart AI Features

Posted by: ApexUser
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra is an absolute beast when it comes to performance. As someone who demands a lot from a smartphone—running multiple complex background apps, diagnostics, and seamless workflows—this phone never stutters. The integration with Galaxy AI has been a game-changer, making daily routines much smarter, faster, and more intuitive. The camera is outstanding, capturing crisp details in any lighting, and the processing power is top-tier. If you want a phone that delivers peak performance and reliable connectivity without compromise, this is definitely the one to get.

A Masterpiece
on May 25, 2026
Posted by: UniversalMan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is an exceptional device that redefines the capabilities of a flagship smartphone. Upgrading to this phone has been a remarkable improvement, offering a level of speed, sophistication, and utility that significantly enhances my daily technological interactions.
A prominent feature is the comprehensive suite of Galaxy AI tools, which are seamlessly integrated rather than being mere novelties. Tools such as Notification Highlights are truly transformative, as they automatically organize and summarize cluttered notification panels into clear, easily digestible text. The real-time automation tools and Now Brief effortlessly synthesize my calendar, health data, and daily alerts, providing me with precisely what I need at the opportune moment. For photography, the AI-driven Photo Assist makes editing feel extraordinary; I can effortlessly remove distracting elements or reconfigure visual scenes using natural language prompts, instantly elevating the quality of low-light photographs to a professional standard.
Beyond the software, the hardware is exceptionally polished. The custom processor delivers incredibly fast performance with remarkable efficiency, the battery life comfortably extends beyond a day and a half of intensive use, and the new Privacy Display introduces an excellent layer of security by preventing others from viewing my screen from any angles. It is an elegant, remarkably intelligent, and arguably the finest phone currently availab.

Best on the market!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Samsung Galaxy phones for many years and the S26 Ultra is the ultimate in cellphone technology. Everything about it is top tier. The screen is gorgeous, the processor is outstanding, the feel in my hand is totally comfortable. Battery life is exceptional and the upgrade in charging speed shines. The S26 Ultra has been the perfect fit for me. Samsung has always made it their mission to remain true to innovation without being trendy. I look forward to seeing the next generation and can't wait to see how Samsung will top this phone. Absolutely love it.

S26 Ultra
on May 25, 2026
Posted by: Talid21
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I like my phone! A little upset about the Google messaging, but I'll get over that. I updated from the S23 ultra, had to get use to the new design. I loved the edge on the older phones. Samsung should have kept that on the Ultra model phones, would have really set them apart.
