My S26 Ultra Upgrade
on September 7, 2026
Posted by: WantedSomethingBetter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to purchase the s26 ultra to upgrade from the a32 I had. I was hoping for this great new phone and all the new features I would find. I was also excited to try out the new stylus. What I found was somewhat disappointing. The phone is noticeably faster and that is great to see. I have not used the stylus yet - bummer. I spent the first several days turning off all the spam. Notifications for this and that, that I don't need or want. Changing a yellow or blue tinted screen to white. Turning off "news selected for you". Google backup turned on by default instead of by request. So Google backup filled up immediately and more spam started for me to buy more backup storage space. I think you need a "leave me alone" button. All the Samsung "features" turned on by default that had to be turned off. How about a new phone setup process that takes you through a checklist - do you want this, do you want this, etc., etc. Let me pick what i want. And bring back the micro sd card slot. Having to spend the first 2-3 hours copying data from the old phone to the new one instead of just moving the old SD card to the new phone. Except for the noticeable speed change, I don't see anything that required me to move from a 5 year old A32 to the new S26 Ultra with stylus.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am glad I chose to upgrade from the base galaxy s24 to the galaxy s26 ultra. There is major improvement in the screen size and hardware which is a big bonus for me because I love playing video games on my phone so it's nice to have a beast of a machine in my hands. It makes the newest mobile titles feel like console quality games. I love the bright and vivid screen for watching my favorite YouTubers and Netflix shows/movies I can't forget to mention the beautiful loud speakers which makes everything feel super immersive. I like the ai features of the phone it definitely improved a lot over the years kinda makes me wish we had these features on the galaxy s5 which was my first Samsung phone. Overall I really recommend this phone to anyone who is looking for some serious power.
