A firm 9.6 out of 10 - ALMOST perfect
on June 11, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from an S22U to an S26U, here is my new unbiased experience and opinion thus far.
The Good:
1) The chipset rocks!
-The overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy is a beast! Incredibly power efficient and a gaming juggernaut, it doesn't understand the word "slow" at all!

2) The privacy screen sealed the deal for me!
- Simply a game changer! Eyes where you want them and none where you don't. It works incredibly well and I'm sure privacy screen manufacturers are still punching the air right now. 😂

3) Galaxy AI is worth using.
- AI is a dicey subject, but with an on-board NPU, an option to only process data on the device only and an actually upheld ethics policy, it very much stands apart as the only AI phone truly in the space. The AI select tool and Gen edit features are very useful when necessary!

The compromises:
1) Privacy screen tech noticeably hinders display performance.
- A trade-off for sure. No more anti-glare coating and you do get a noticeable decline in overall sharpness and worse outdoor viewability compared to the S25U.

2) Now Nudge feature seldom works.
- Despite purposefully giving prompts, it seemingly picks and chooses when to work, save for the occasional "save date" function.

3) I just really miss the Bluetooth S-Pen
- enuff said. 😞😞

Overall, It's a fantastic phone with very few trade-offs. I'm hoping that the privacy display sticks around and sees improvement, and in a perfect world, maybe the bluetooth S-Pen makes a come back! 🤞

LOVE THIS PHONE!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new AI features on this phone are incredible. I've never been happier with an upgrade. I use my Samsung S26 Ultra for everything. It's my handheld computer that goes everywhere I go. It takes the most amazing photos too. There is nothing this little handheld wonder can't do. It works amazingly well with all my Samsung accessories & gadgets. I've been a loyal Samsung customer for many, many years & I don't see that ever changing. Even my household appliances are Samsung!! I can track & run everything right from my phone. I appreciate that!!

Loving my new S26 Ultra
on June 11, 2026
Posted by: Gungnir
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is Samsung’s most premium flagship phone of 2026, and its biggest selling point is clear: this is an Ultra phone built around Galaxy AI. It still has the things people expect from Samsung’s top model — a large display, powerful cameras, fast performance, long battery life, and S Pen support — but the S26 Ultra feels more focused on software intelligence than major hardware reinvention. Samsung gives the S26 Ultra a large 6.9-inch QHD+ AMOLED display, and one of its standout additions is a built-in Privacy Display that can reduce side-angle visibility to help prevent people nearby from reading your screen. By far my favorite addition and the camera. The camera system remains one of the strongest reasons to buy the Ultra. Samsung lists a 200MP wide camera, 50MP ultrawide, 50MP telephoto, and an additional 10MP telephoto camera. Galaxy AI is the real centerpiece. On the S26 Ultra, Galaxy AI helps with photo editing, document scanning, call transcription, translation, camera intelligence, and smarter daily suggestions.

This product out performs my expectation In gaming

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I got the new S26 Ultra i thought to myself and hoping that it will preform better then my S24 Ulta in gaming which I play alot I mean alot will I can say that the S26 Ultra blew my mind for 1 how light it is compare to the phone I got the S 26 Ultra is like holding nothing I am surprise but love it makes it easier to grip between my fingers with how the corners are rounded and the picture is so clear and the colors are so bright it's hard for me to put it down that's not talking about what else it offers. The AI Iis alot better when it comes in making video when you tell it what you want and over all this phone is a 10 out of 10 I really recommend in getting the S26 Ultra

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my S26 Ultra a week ago. So far I have been blown away by the intuitive AI assistance and over-all performance! I use my phone for work, streaming, and pictures and am in love with the screen definition and camera. The S pen is great for jotting down notes for work. I couldn't be happier with my upgrade!
