Built in on/off Privacy screen!
on March 20, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to look for cases with built in screens that would turn on and off when i needed it, but could never find it. and then as if Samsung hears me, they come out with the built in privacy screen. it is private when you need it, and then full Brightness and viewing angles when you don't. i love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm absolutely blown away by the new device! The camera capabilities are simply phenomenal, capturing moments with incredible detail and clarity. The performance is incredibly snappy, making multitasking an absolute breeze. I'm also really impressed with the battery life, which easily gets me through the entire day and then some. This is definitely a fantastic upgrade and a joy to use.

A perfect upgrade

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always had a samsung galaxy device and have always been impressed. The S26 Ultra was nothing short of that. It's fast and sleek. I especially love the new video features, and the privacy screen feature. It also automatically comes with galaxy AI. Going from a S23 Ultra to a S26 Ultra was the move!

The battery life sucks, like really bad! The privacy screen option isn't as good as the actual screen protector. It's also very heavy, but if you like heavy phones, then it'll be good for you. The camera is great and some other cool features. I honestly liked my 25 ultra better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The 45w charging get your phone charge in minutes.
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: BaseballGuy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For someone who uses their phone constantly, being able to have it charged from low battery to mid or full charge in minutes just is so appreciated. The phone is also buttery smooth and responsive and Samsung has just been a phone I've relied upon for 10+ years now. It pairs with my other devices seamlessly and just offers more than I can even figure out with each new device. The Galaxy AI seems to also be just the chery on top of an already great phone offering intuitive phone functionalities for multitasking and different app cycling and utilization.

Best phone yet
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: Angel5
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had a lot of phones over the years but nothing has come close to amazing me like this one right here. The built in privacy screen is a chefs kiss when it comes to keeping your screen away from nosey people. Like any other ultra it comes with the built in pen which is very cool as well. Grabbing this phone was a wise decision as I have been in the samsung family for a very very long time.
