Easy Transition to a Great Phone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I traded a Note20Ultra for the S26U phone and the transition was straightforward and fairly easy. I had watched videos, so I knew what to do to make this phone work like my Note20U.
Do watch videos by expert users about hidden features. I'm a senior and use only the basics, however the videos have shown me the vast features available, especially with Galaxy AI and AI Select.
I like the S pen, however I miss the Bluetooth features, especially the camera remote button. I prefer the rounded corners and flat screen of the S26U.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my Samsung S26 Ultra for everything! Work, personal, camera, games, music! Its so handy to have everything in one places. I sold phones for years and Samsung is where it's at! Best camera available!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I went from a Samsung Galaxy s24+ to the Samsung Galaxy s26 Ultra and what an upgrade it has been. I opted out to not upgrade when the s25 came out because I didn't feel it would be much different. However, when the s26 came out, the privacy setting really stood out for me. Aside from that, the Galaxy AI features for texting and picture edits is great as well as the camera megapixels was also an upgrade I appreciate. The S series has always been next level to me and this phone did not disappoint. The price is on the more expensive side but it's worth it for a phone you plan to keep for a while, also it's not too much when you have a phone available to trade in. I definitely recommend especially if you haven't upgraded your phone in 2 years or more.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my new Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra! Hands down, this series has the best camera technology and capabilities on the Market!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone has an amazing camera, that can do close up which is what I need for my jewelry that I make. The best part overall is the storage for my videos, I can finally record longer for my channel. I especially like the privacy display the most since I work with alot of people on a daily basis that can be a bit nosy during lunch time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new galaxy is fast moving and actually feels like an upgrade from my previous S24 Ultra. I have tried AI once on a photo and the capabilities are insane. I am actually happy that I upgraded to the new glaaxy. One thing I wasnt aware of was the ability to use the pen as a remote for photos on my s24 until I was upgrading and honestly feel as though that should be brought back and marketed. I would have used it if I was aware. I also like that the rolled edges are gone. However curious as to why the cameras are so far off of the phone. The new festures compared to the 24 were alot, so many suggestions and things I had never seen before. Finally an upgrade that feels like an upgrade.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the S23 Ultra, and the S26 Ultra has been a noticeable upgrade. I use the phone casually daily, playing games, streaming audiobooks and music, and social media.
So far, the battery life has held up to my daily use. I'm a regular concert goer, and I'm interested to see how the camera and battery perform in that scenario.
Galaxy AI has been integrated into many aspects of the phone, but I don't feel they are necessary, and I ignore and disable them when I am able. I was also thrown by the forced use of Google messages as the SMS default app, but I have gotten used to that!
The S26 Ultra is a solid phone. I think the most unique feature is the built in privacy screen. I never felt the need for a privacy screen protector in the past, but I have the built in screen enabled for my banking apps now, and it's nice to have.
