[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned 5 different galaxy series phones. I am blow away with the s26 ultra. It literally lives up to its name. Ultra sophisticated and grandiose! The new private screen is amazing and very good. Speed and quality top notch. Screen size and overall appearance a 10 out of 10. Pairs well with the samsung watch . The new one UI is flawless and snappy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great phone overall and a worthy upgrade. The battery life is amazing completely blowed my S24 ultras limited battery life away. Privacy display is an awesome feature I can't wait to see expanded on in future devices. It is more useful that I thought it would be. Also the new snapdragon processor is lightning fast and actually a noticable improvement when paired with the 16gb of ram. All of the internals and software really make for a great experience although I am still not sold on the actual helpfulness of Galaxy AI but it most certainly is there and has some features that can be interesting.
For the negatives the privacy display is a feature that I do love however does come at a cost of screen clarity so sharpness and clarity do leave something to be desired. The wireless charging DOES NOT charge at 25 watt qi2 speeds. And the most annoying thing overall is definitely the ridiculously large camera bump that is in fact so large that not even a case remedies the obnoxious wobbling when this phone sits flat. It is also so large that many wireless chargers cannot align properly to be useful.
Worth a buy only if it's on sale or you take advantage of a limited time trade-in credit special.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using my Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for a bit now, and I can honestly say I love it. The Galaxy AI features are actually useful—not just something extra they added. It helps with everything from editing photos to making everyday tasks quicker, and it just makes the phone feel smarter overall.
I use my phone a lot throughout the day—for streaming shows, scrolling, taking pictures, and handling everyday responsibilities—and it keeps up with everything without slowing down. The screen is super clear and smooth, so watching movies or videos on it is really enjoyable.
As a parent, I’m constantly using my phone to capture moments, stay organized, and manage my day, and this phone makes all of that easier. The camera quality is amazing—pictures come out sharp and clear without needing much editing, which I really appreciate.
Battery life has also been solid for me. I can get through a full day without stressing about charging, even with heavy use.
Overall, the Galaxy S26 Ultra just feels reliable, easy to use, and actually helpful in everyday life. Definitely a great upgrade if you’re looking for a phone that can keep up with you.

It helps users work smarter, communicate easier, and get more out of my phone. It feels like a glimpse into the future of smartphones, and that future looks promising.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Videography and photography are top notch. Streaming is an overall accomplishment with this device. Can't complain about one thing yet.
