The display and screen is amazing with the privacy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from I phone, I can totally say the AI and intelligence is beyond my grasp and still learning everyday. Watching Netflix and YouTube have been amazing. What i didn't expect was this magical or even movie like steady stable mode. Where it makes moving people, animals stay in focus.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the new 26 ultra love it much better than my 24, still trying to figure out the AI stuff. I'm not tech savage, but I'm liking this new phone from Samsung.

BUYER'S REGRET. Wish I'd kept my S24 Ultra.

Phone is ok.
Got this to replace my S24 Ultra.
Definitely feels like a downgrade.
Got this to replace my S24 Ultra.
Definitely feels like a downgrade.
Camera is a lateral move at best.. I hate that the lenses stick out so far from the back of the phone.
Spen is a definite downgrade. Why bother if it's just a stylus? Really miss the camera shutter control on my S24 spen.
Also why did Samsung Messages go away? I HATE Google Messages. I really loved being able to pin favorite conversations to the top. And why is half the screen used up as a "Google Messages" title? We already know whose terrible app we're using, don't need the constant reminder.

Why is it shaped like the other phones (brand name is being "moderated") again? If I wanted a generic looking phone, I'd have gotten the other phone (brand name is being "moderated") or Google phone.
Sad that my two-year-old phone feels so much better than the brand new one.
Overall, I really regret buying this phone.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Amazing flagship phone
on March 17, 2026
Posted by: Nicholas
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded to the Galaxy S26 Ultra a couple weeks ago from the S23 Ultra —So far best phone I've owned in ages. Screen pops showing detailed vivid colors, battery lasts all day, and it flies through everything I throw at it so far no matter what is whether it's watching 4K HDR videos or playing some fortnite or even video editing.
Galaxy AI is the real game-changer though. Real-time call translation helps a ton with international calls, Writing Assist fixes my sloppy texts without sounding fake, and the photo editor removes distractions or corrects shots in seconds. Even the smart suggestions feel genuinely helpful, not annoying.
Camera's excellent, performance is smooth, and it's built like it should be. If you're thinking about it, pull the trigger—this thing actually makes daily life easier. Solid recommendation 👌

Great Phone!
on March 17, 2026
Posted by: 360precision
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The transfer process from my S24 ultra to my s26 ultra was superb. The smarthings app made the transition very seamless and streamlined.
I am enjoying the improved display, the AI features, overall trying to get a better feel for the phone. I like how I can enable the privacy screen based conditions. The phone is also incredibly powerful, efficient, and fast.
I'm still getting to know the phone, and all the wonderful features. So things that I don't particularly love is that the cameras are very bulky, so the phone can't lay flat on a table face up. The s-pen is also located in a odd place, towards the corner. I hope the ultra series continues with the s-pen! I use it frequently.
