From S24 to S26

Love my new s26 ultra. The privacy screen is an awesome addition. My s24 use to have a significant delay with refreshing emails. S26 is flawless.
I would recommend this to a friend!

cant complain
on April 17, 2026
Posted by: myIoveejc
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] still getting used to having an ultra. I've always just stuck with the base or plus models bc im usually not a fan of the bigger screen/bigger phone in general. I have always loved the s pen feature though. I am a huge fan of the privacy screen feature though. Only complaint I would have is this phone seems to get overly warm at times which is a bummer, especially given that I have only had this phone about a week now.

Crazy difference from s23
on April 17, 2026
Posted by: DrCruNK614
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is amazing all the apps from the Galaxy shop are great there's so many different features to play with and customize to your liking all the AI capabilities are great. Got the one terabyte version and I immediately maxed out the virtual RAM. Can't wait to get some buds and better case with some cool magnetic accessories.

S26 Ultra is a BEAST!
on April 17, 2026
Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is easily one of the best devices I’ve used for both streaming and gaming. The display is the standout feature—bright, ultra-smooth, and incredibly sharp. Whether you're watching movies or bingeing shows, the colors pop and the detail feels almost cinematic. Paired with powerful stereo speakers, it delivers a truly immersive experience.
For gaming, this phone is a beast. Performance is fast and consistent, even with demanding titles. There’s no noticeable lag, frame drops, or overheating during long sessions. The high refresh rate keeps everything fluid, and the touch response is precise, which makes a real difference in competitive games.
Battery life holds up impressively well too. I can stream for hours or game heavily without constantly worrying about charging, and fast charging gets you back up quickly when needed.
What really sets it apart, though, is Galaxy AI—it’s phenomenal. From smart performance optimization while gaming to enhancing video quality during streaming, it quietly elevates the entire experience without you having to think about it.
Overall, the S26 Ultra delivers top-tier power and entertainment. If streaming and gaming matter to you, this phone absolutely delivers.

I miss my S24 Ultra
on April 17, 2026
Posted by: Novahs1124
from Baltimore, MD
I've used samsung phones for over 15 years and this one is my least favorite. Many of the personalization features are gone. Battery life is good and camera works well but I have to reset my device multiple times per day for my text or email to come through. Constantly updating my apps because it does not do it automatically. Wish I could return it for my S24 :(
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Samsung has raised the bar once again. The Galaxy S26

I have ever used. It is the only device a serious user
