Faster than S24 Ultra
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: WinnersChoice
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone is noticeably faster than replaced S24 Ultra. I have mot experienced any screen issues. The Galaxy ai works well but I am not a heavy user. Connects well to Galaxy Watch 8. Pictures are great.

General Opinion
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: SkyGemini
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently made a switch from the note 20 to the s26 ultra. Overall the features are cool. But it's still missing some of the features I hoped would have crossover from my old note. The messages are now powered by Google messaging, & you don't have the option to switch it to Samsung messages which I personally enjoy much better than Google. If I wanted google messaging I would have purchased a Google pixel instead. Also the notification at the top left are too small & they no longer display in the aod box. Overall though for the phone to be as big as it is, it's quite light. I love the color scheme. I can't wait until samsung releases a phone with a keyboard. Lol. I will be there 1st in line for that release.

Worth The Upgrade
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: Bhagu43346665
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for a bit now, and while it’s a powerful and polished device, I do have mixed feelings about the design change.
The biggest thing for me is that Samsung moved away from the boxy design. That squared-off look was what made the Ultra series feel unique and premium—it had character. The more rounded design on the S26 Ultra looks good, but it loses that signature “Ultra” identity. Personally, I really hope Samsung brings the boxy design back in future models.
That said, the phone still delivers where it matters. Performance is extremely smooth, the display is beautiful, and everything feels fast and responsive.
One standout feature is Galaxy AI. It genuinely makes everyday tasks easier—especially things like adding events to the calendar, organizing apps, and moving things around the phone. It feels more intuitive and actually saves time, which makes a noticeable difference in daily use.
The camera system is also excellent, producing sharp and detailed photos consistently.
Overall, the S26 Ultra is still a great phone with strong performance and useful AI features, but I do miss the iconic boxy design that made the Ultra series stand out. Hopefully, that makes a comeback.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the new built in privacy screen, helps against nosey people and nosey kids. I guarantee other phone companies will try to copy Samsung.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have the Ultra 26 and this phone is AMAZING! Streaming movies & surfing the internet great. The Galaxy AI is next level. Absolutely love that I'm able to take photos and change the background in the camera app, now.
