[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In just few weeks, I can say this is the best smartphone ever build, the great privacy display, which is one features the competition do not have, in addition with perform tremendously beat them all.
Then, Galaxy AI, which become like a personal secretary, providing ideas and resume into a professional development environment that will help me do a better job.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Even though I switched from a 25 ultra to 26 ultra the phone feels so much better. With the new cpu my battery life lasts longer and who doesn't even using Galaxy AI edits with your dog lol. Overall phone is great and the built in privacy is a neat feature all my friends want to see

Feature Request:Video Frame Interpolation on Phone
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: Blin980
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hi Samsung,
The Galaxy S26 Ultra does not feel like a major upgrade over the previous generation. There are not many standout improvements, and the move from a titanium frame to an aluminum frame makes it feel less premium.
I also feel that the privacy feature may have come at the cost of display quality, and the screen looks less impressive than the S25 Ultra. What I would really like to see instead is a video frame interpolation feature. Aside from communication, I mainly use my phone for listening to music and watching videos, so multimedia performance matters a lot to me.
Since Galaxy phones already have high-refresh-rate displays, video frame interpolation would make video playback smoother and improve the overall viewing experience.
Many other smartphone brands already offer similar features, so I hope Samsung will consider adding it as well, with an option for users to turn it on or off depending on their preference.

HUGE upgrade!!
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: rastolin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] finally bit the bullet and retired my trusty s10 (rip headphone jack & sd slot). other reviews indicated that the s26 ultra wouldn't be much of an upgrade to s24 ultra or the s25 ultra but having tried both for a few weeks, I can definitely say that it IS a substantial upgrade in terms of refinement. Way better Galaxy AI integrations with this gen and seems to be much quicker while being lighter on the battery usage. I also prefer having a privacy mode that I can toggle than a permanent privacy screen protector for when I show things to people.

Galaxy S26 Ultra... Great phone!
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: BZGIVMX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Galaxy S26 Ultra for a while now, and overall I’m satisfied with it. It feels very similar to the S25, so if you already have that model, there might not be a huge reason to upgrade—though the new privacy display is a nice touch.
The build quality is excellent, and the battery lasts even longer than the S25, which is a pleasant surprise. Photos and videos are still top-notch, and the new Galaxy AI features really stand out, especially when editing pictures—it makes enhancing and customizing shots much easier and more intuitive.
For anyone coming from the S24 or older models, the S26 Ultra is definitely worth considering. My only small gripe is that I miss the Bluetooth pen connection from the S24 for taking pictures—it was a convenient feature that’s not available here.
All in all, it’s a solid, premium phone that delivers what you’d expect, with thoughtful improvements and some smart Galaxy AI enhancements that make using it more enjoyable.
