Privacy screen not impressed
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: LoveMySamsung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy this phone. The feel and size are comparable to the previous models. I was really excited about the built in privacy screen without having to add a film to my screen. It works but not as great as the films. I like the galaxy AI photo assist editing options. Eraser with filler does a decent job editing out noise.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great battery life. Good cameras and camera features. Privacy display is cool. Wish there was a privacy display condition for all notifications not just pop ups including notifications on lock screen. Wish we had an spen with Bluetooth. Galaxy AI being free is nice. I like it so far.

This product is fantastic
on March 18, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is a powerhouse that refines the ultra-premium experience with a focus on privacy and performance. The standout feature is the Privacy Display, a hardware-level innovation that obscures your screen from side-angle "shoulder surfers"—perfect for commuting or handling sensitive work.
Under the hood, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 delivers blistering speeds, paired with a massive 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel that remains the gold standard for brightness and clarity. Despite its size, the switch back to a refined aluminum frame makes the phone surprisingly lighter and thinner (7.9mm) than its predecessor, offering better ergonomics for one-handed use.
Key Highlights:
Cameras: The 200MP main sensor and 50MP 5x telephoto lens now feature wider apertures (f/1.4 and f/2.9), significantly boosting low-light performance and "Nightography" video.
Galaxy AI: New "Agentic AI" tools like Now Nudge offer proactive suggestions based on your screen context, while Photo Assist makes complex edits effortless.
Battery & Charging: The 5,000mAh cell easily lasts over a day, now supported by faster 60W wired charging.
While the camera bump is substantial and the Privacy Display slightly narrows viewing angles for intentional sharing, the S26 Ultra remains the best Android flagship for power users and creatives who demand the S Pen and top-tier optics.
Wonderful for work business/family affairs..for this product it's excellent; for day to day projects/tasks etc.

Great Phone
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: Shin94
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently updated from S22 Ultra to S26 Ultra. I find this to phone be more smooth and games and apps run together without lag. The camera is superb as well. I'm still exploring all the AI features but everything looks very cool with spam call blocks, AI language options, updates to Bixby etc

Upgrade from S24 Ultra
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: TTech002
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Weight was an interesting change form the S24 Ultra, not sure on the specs, but in hand it feels notably lighter.
Galaxy AI still preforms great. has been easy to edit out people and objects from pictures.
Smart Switch works good, only thing is the prompt to move phone number over (esim) forces a reboot, and have to start Smart Switch again.

This Galaxy S26 has the best AI photo editing
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: JaimeR2
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When taking pictures to for example this vintage garden decorative statues, you use the AI editing feature to change the mood appearance of them; making them look more real and exactly to your personal mood preferences. The speed to navigate from screen to screen at the same time is super fast like never before!!
I highly recommend this new Samsung Galaxy S26 series.
