First class features!
on May 23, 2026
Posted by: Kandy1123
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The privacy display has stopped "over my shoulder" glances from those who want to see what I'm doing on my phone. The AI features have made routine tasks so much easier by having them work in the background, reducing the amount of time I have to spend with my eyes on my screen. Also, the way you can use AI to edit pictures makes it so much fun to take pics of my friends and send them my creations. Hands down the most advanced, fast and entertaining phone I've owned to date. Would 1000% recommend.

The product did not hold a charge/defective
on March 7, 2026
Posted by: Unhappy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worst experience with Samsung! I always have had a positive experience, except on this purchase. The phone lasted me less than 24hrs. I charged it overnight and it only charged to 70 percent, in less than 2 hrs the battery was down to 20 percent. The whole time the phone is overheating, hot to the touch. I called to get the issue resolved, worst options given to solve issue/ nothing was resolved. Returned item. The phone is so expensive, not worth the headache.

Thoughts for the future
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: Jackofalltrades
from Springfield, Mo
It's a great phone super nice but I really wish they would offer thier high end phone with a more durable option... like no s pen so it could be more water an dust proof for the people that work in a more out of the box environment an more prone to dropping while in the field. I crawl around under houses in rafters, I get dirty but enjoy my phone an its camera quality but they could offer a more work force vs business version of the ultra.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Screen is worse, same ram, no big upgrade
on April 30, 2026
Posted by: Baba007
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What can I can l say that's positive?
Ram is faster but not increased.
Screen is the same(ish) but worse, unless the use the new privacy filter (worsens quality).
S-Pen has no Bluetooth and is only 1-sided. Harder to get out and put back in.
Rounded edges feel better in the hand.
Upgrade options are worse than before.
Screen is the same(ish) but worse, unless the use the new privacy filter (worsens quality).
S-Pen has no Bluetooth and is only 1-sided. Harder to get out and put back in.
Rounded edges feel better in the hand.
Upgrade options are worse than before.
Privacy screen requires specific screen protectors that are MUCH more likely to scratch.
No noticable increase in speed during games or movies.
