The Features I tested
on March 29, 2026

I checked out the Samsung Galaxy 26 Ultra and when going through the features I had honest thoughts.
Performance:
The S26 Ultra performs extremely well especially with heavier games like call of duty mobile, fortnite, etc. The refresh rate is fast and the overall specs of the performance including it's responsiveness is very good.

Features:
The new features such as the privacy display and Horizon Lock feature are both good but when using the features consistently the realization that with the privacy display the screens overall display is darker. This isn't bad but there is a lot of room to improve that feature itself. The horizon lock was good especially I want to shoot a crazy shot on my camera.

Durability:
The phone without a doubt is strong and when doing drop tests there are no minor stratches or cracks. No damages to the screen.

Battery:
The battery life is very good I had no problems with the battery initially however I understand that with time it'll wear and tear.

Overall:
I recommend this phone to anyone who wants a phone that'll last in all aspects. I also recommend that this be the upgrade for any android user and possibly for people who wish to transfer from a different phone company/manufacture

S26 ULTRA powerhouse
on March 29, 2026
Posted by: Springbok
from New Zealand, Hawkesbay
I check out the new S26 ULTRA on the weekend and I love it!
The privacy screen with Corning gorilla armour 2is awesome for the job I do and I love the robust Armor Aluminium.
Not to talk about the fast chipset it has which makes it smoother for some spare time gaming. 60W charging! Wow it is just getting better. Charging time redused significantly,which makes it easy for quick charging sessions.Galactial blue would be my choice! 😁
