The Phone I Actually Use for Everything
on August 22, 2026
Posted by: Torybear34
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra because I use my phone for pretty much everything and wanted something that could actually keep up with me. I’m on it constantly between school, work, games, pictures, videos, shopping, and everything else I somehow end up doing on my phone.
The camera is probably my favorite part. I have four kids and two of them are little, so getting everyone to sit still for a picture is basically impossible. I love that I can just grab my phone and still get really good pictures without having to mess around with it forever.
I also use it a lot for school. I’m always checking assignments, reading stuff, looking things up, or bouncing between a bunch of different apps at once. The screen is huge, which I love, especially when I’m watching videos or playing games.
I’ve had different brands of phones before, but I always end up going back to Samsung. I like getting the newest one so much that I literally upgrade my phone every year when the new one comes out lol. The S26 Ultra just does everything I need it to do, and I’m definitely happy I upgraded again.

Love this phone
on August 22, 2026
Posted by: Bestultrayet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra & it
is easily the best phone of 2026.
I absolutely love the upgraded camera system—the new f/1.4 aperture on the 200MP main sensor makes low-light photos look astonishingly vibrant, while the updated 50MP ultrawide and dual telephoto lenses deliver unbelievable detail at any distance. Combined with top-tier performance, lightning-fast charging, and refined Galaxy AI features, it easily takes the crown as Samsung's best phone yet.

This device is alright
on August 22, 2026
Posted by: scopedya
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like to stay up at night because I'm a night owl and like gaming I tried the chose to try the s26+ and it was alright, i personally felt like it was faster than the ultra, at first I had some trouble from the ultra trying to open messages from xfinity like it wouldn't open them, and I had some bad connection in some places. I tried fortnite on the plus but for my hands the screen ain't big enough, I heard the ultra was on the top 3 for mobile gaming on fortnite from Google im yet to try it out, I'll keep call updated, also I liked to mention if their is any blue light setting my eyes get red very easy and I doomscroll a lot so I'm yet to try that setting on the default settings my eyes get dry and red so theirs that their may need some adjustments in the + I was having trouble with login ingredients the Samsung password center when I got the ultra I made sure I remembered and saved the password and changed it to finger print so I don't have to remember I think that's a cool feature. The phone takes a long time to charge you might need to get a faster lighting c port cable or and a brick as well that charge fast with the cheap one I bought from Walmart it said I needed to wait 2 hours and something minutes to charge from the port on my pc I'm yet to try the brick( it was at 9 % btw). But the battery last a long time once you charge it to deplete, the camera quality seems dark but you can time your shots and zoom pretty far.

Excellent design and feel
on August 22, 2026
Posted by: smbkt25
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the overall design. The cameras are very pronounced and prone to damage without a raised case for protection. My biggest and pretty much only real issue is the battery. Same battery for 3 Ultra releases year after year. Others have found a way to get a larger battery with longer use life daily. I miss the removable batteries of old. Much more convenient for users. Bloatware should be optionally removable. It's my phone, not yours so forcing me to have your apps that I don't even use is unfair and nearly caused this lifetime Samsung guy to go elsewhere to those who don't have as much bloat. As much as I liked the screen fingerprint at first, I miss the one on the side. The privacy screen is overrated and causes visual distortion if you're not perfectly aligned. Kinda the point but makes colors look wrong on the edges so stopped trying it after 1 day.

So far this phone has been wonderful
on August 21, 2026
Posted by: TDAWG25
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to switch over to my new Samsung Galaxy S2 ultra from a different cellphone company and so far it has been wonderful. It has been years since I owned an android device and I am very happy with making the switch back to Samsung. I look forward to exploring all the possibilities with this new phone, and hope to add new accessories to go along with it soon.

Better than expected
on August 21, 2026
Posted by: Sirenlvs2
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose and always will choose samsung with so much competition. I can't go wrong with the features this phone has to offer. Even better with AI. I enjoy using this for my every day. Work, play and personal. Easy AI helps me write a quick response when needed at work or just a simple text to someone. Keeps me sharp!

Great phone with some issues
on August 21, 2026
Posted by: Android Girl
from Tennessee
I love the phone, and the fact that it has the privacy screen already built in. The main problem I'm having is, when playing my iTunes app through Bluetooth or Android auto, my phone will shut off and then restart, which makes it a driving hazard while I'm driving down the road.
I would recommend this to a friend!
