Great camera
on August 10, 2026
Posted by: Herbenz
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung Galaxy 26 Ultra because I loved the camera and the phone itself. However, I really wish they would not of got rid of the S pen being Bluetooth as it made taking pictures really easy from a distance so we could all be together in a family Picture

Honestly the best phone I've had for school
on August 10, 2026
Posted by: Campuslife26
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the S26 Ultra mostly because my old phone couldn't keep up with my class schedule anymore, and so far it's been a solid upgrade. The screen is honestly great for reading through slides and PDFs, even when I'm sitting outside between classes and the sun is glaring right at it.
The stylus surprised me the most. I wasn't sure I'd actually use it, but I've been taking notes with it during lectures and it just feels more natural than typing everything out. Random doodles in the margins too, not gonna lie.
Camera-wise, I've been snapping pics of whiteboards after class so I don't lose track of stuff, and they come out clear even when the lighting in the room is bad. Battery has held up through a full day of back-to-back classes plus scrolling on breaks, which is more than I can say for my last phone.
It's also just fun to use outside of school stuff, streaming shows at night, gaming when I need a break. Not a perfect phone, but it's handled everything I've thrown at it so far

S SERIES AT ITS BEST
on August 10, 2026
Posted by: Deadpool3793
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra to handle everything from intense work days to everyday entertainment.
The built-in Privacy Display is an absolute game-changer for working in public spaces—it keeps confidential docs and notifications completely hidden from side-glancers without needing an annoying plastic screen protector. When it comes to productivity, the integrated S Pen makes signing PDFs, marking up blueprints, and taking quick meeting notes completely seamless.
For media consumption, the 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED panel paired with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor offers an unmatched experience whether I'm streaming high-bitrate 4K movies, watching live sports, or running demanding games with rock-solid frame rates. The quad-camera system with 5x optical zoom and enhanced low-light performance is incredible for capturing sharp photos and stable videos on the go. It truly is the ultimate all-in-one powerhouse device.

S26 ultra
on August 10, 2026
Posted by: WVFAN1
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start by saying I switch phones several times a year and I keep coming
back to Samsung due to the cameras and great aftermarket accessories. I really like the new privacy display I can turn it on and off and don't have to worry about weird angles when watching YouTube at night in bed like with a traditional privacy screen protector.

Galaxy S Series For Life
on August 10, 2026
Posted by: NYColas57
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S23 Ultra had been broken and pulled apart by me too many times. It was time for an upgrade. I was hesitant at first because I really prefer the form factor of the "note-style" devices. The new Ultra series were just too mainstream in their design and didn't feel special. However, I knew that I couldn't go wrong with the internal hardware and latest features. So, I chose to do a complete upgrade from the S23 Ultra 256GB 8GB RAM to the S26 Ultra 1TB 16GB RAM that now comes standard. The processing power is remarkably more sufficient and truly feels worthy of the Ultra name (as did the S23 Ultra at the time). The overall design of the phone is quite beautiful in its own way. It may not be as cool as the S22-24 Ultra design, but just as beautiful in craftsmanship. I decided against removing a star for the unfortunate downgrade in zoom capabilities because who really needs that anyways. Besides, I've chewed through my storage using the unnecessarily good APV HDR video that the 23 didn't have. However, I should start using external storage while recording APV so I can enjoy the vast amount that 1TB really is. That's an excellent feature to be able to record professionally with external storage. Anyways, I could go on, but my legs are falling asleep on this porcelain throne while typing this. I look forward to seeing what Samsung does next; we truly seem to have hit a peak.
