Super simple
on May 18, 2026
Posted by: Amers800
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the S24 Ultra. The thing that I like most about upgrading is how simple it is to switch all of the ridiculous amounts of information from one phone to another. It's so easy!

My Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra!
on May 18, 2026
Posted by: BoatshitcrazyX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I've had my new Galaxy S26 Ultra for about a month now and this phone is far and away the best phone I've ever owned. I film alot , as i post on 4 different platforms daily and the Camera and native features on this phone are insane, personally i work on ships so the horizon lock feature is game changong for my content. Galaxy AI is helpful and intuitive, and every new feature i discover or use for the first time has me scratching my head as to simple and easy they are to use. The price point on this phone was also easily in my price range where as other platforms with lesser features and equipment were not. So to round it all out I am supremely happy with my puchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is very impressive from the speed and performance to the AI capabilities. Your options are endless with this phone. The AI is crazy smart and does some amazing stuff with ease.
I have been very impressed with the response and smoothness this phone offers. The new features samsung has packed in this phone like call screener, audio eraser and nudge make your life so much simpler and are very helpful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone is very snappy and highly customizable. Love how you can change your icons without the use of a third party launcher.
Photos are great with the enhanced zoom and night shots are stellar.
Galaxy AI works well in editing photos. Overall very happy with it.

Solid phone with excellent features
on May 18, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Now Brief is one of my favorite AI features that shows at a glance the weather, your calendar, and more. The caveat is you need to use Samsung apps for it to work. I do hope this restriction will be lifted soon.
The Privacy Screen is an awesome feature asdition. Coupled with modes and routines, I am able to turn this off when home and it activates for the apps I have selected when I am away. I tested the privacy screen with my wife and even sitting next to me, she could see what app I had open but could not read the text.
I have found the overall performance of the phone to be very good. I notice quicker screen responses, faster processing of data, great camera updates especially the AI integration that assists with getting better shots. It is magsafe ready and requires a case with a magnet.
Plugged in, this the fastest charging phone I have had and that is using a 45W adapter. I can go from 15% to 50% in roughly 15 min tops, full charge in under an hour. Magsafe charging takes longer and is based on the rating of the charger. Spigen makes a solid magnet charger which provides quick wireless charging.
I had been using Fold phones until this series was released. The Ultra has a large enough screen that I have not noticed not having a fold - almost.
The main gripe I have is the camera bump out. I no longer can use my magnet battery and other non-round magsafe accessories. It needs to be horizontal.
Despite this, I feel the features gained made the upgrade worth it.

Samsung galaxy s26 ultra
on May 18, 2026
Posted by: Samsungconsumer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The performance of Galaxy AI has shown significant improvement. While there have been occasional instances of Bixby activating unexpectedly, the overall experience has been quite positive. Regarding the display, the screen on the S26 Ultra appears slightly less vibrant compared to the S25 Ultra, though this is mitigated by the inclusion of a built-in privacy screen. Gaming on the device has been excellent offering smooth frame rates without excessive heating. Integration with my home setup and television has been seamless, thanks to the SmartThings application. As a long-standing customer, with my initial Samsung device being the S7 I can attest to Samsung's continuous pursuit of innovation. However I have observed that the S26 Ultra exhibits a slight delay of a few milliseconds when loading games applications, and online content compared to the S25 Ultra. The camera quality on the S26 Ultra has improved, featuring enhanced software and greater flexibility for image adjustments. I found the 25-megapixel camera to be superior to both the 12-megapixel and 50-megapixel options for close-up photography The added clarity at 100x zoom is a welcome feature for achieving sharper images The photo editor, however, seems to have regressed somewhat. Previously one could crop and drag elements between pictures and then utilize AI for refinement. Now, one must rely on the AI to generate the desired image based on a text prompt, which can sometimes result in an awkward or distorted original
