Super responsive but not without faults
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: Brandonjr36
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off I've been buying Samsung phones for a long time, i love the s26 ultra. It's super fast but the screen has issues. The privacy display causes the screen to have a fuzzy look. There's tons of us out there that have no use for the privacy screen, we would rather have good quality vs a feature like that. I also wish the spen was on the right side like the older notes. And I wish Samsung would offer less high quality megapixel camera. There's no reason in the bump being this big. I miss the old note phones they were super slim and had small camera bumps.

Response from Samsung USBy R&R Team, March 20, 2026
Hi there Brandonjr36, thank you for your feedback on your Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. We are happy to hear that you are overall pleased with the usage of your device, and we would love nothing more than to help you best customize your device for the best possible experience. For the privacy display the Maximum Privacy protection mode is designed to enhance privacy effects more than the standard Privacy mode. In this mode, pixel operation control is used to strengthen privacy effects, which may cause slight color changes or a blurry appearance on the screen. While this increases privacy protection, it may also make the screen appear somewhat hazy. If you find this uncomfortable, we recommend using the standard Privacy mode, or we have provided a link to the complete manual to help you disable this feature if it does not align with your preferences. We also recommend protective cases on all devices to help ensure your device is secure from accidental bumps and drops that can happen. This has the added benefit of helping minimize the appearance of the camera lenses and get the feel you are seeking with your device. We have provided a link to the Samsung Support Team if you have questions about available accessories, or you have questions about your device during usage. We appreciate you being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth

Awesome Phone!
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: AwimbahWeh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is insanely fast compared to my S24 Ultra. Everything feels smoother and more responsive in day-to-day use. I use it as my main phone for everything—calls, apps, and social media—and it handles it all effortlessly.
I also use it for photos and videos, including some astrophotography, and the quality has been solid. The camera performance combined with the processing speed makes it really easy to capture and share content.
Galaxy AI is a standout feature—it makes editing photos quick and simple, especially when removing unwanted objects. Overall, it just makes everything faster and easier.

The S26 That Has Created A Lifetime Customer
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: MrMintTree
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra has been amazing for streaming, gaming, and school. I love all the AI features, especially the ones for customizing the screen layout, and the built in game booster lets me prioritize performance or power saving - perfect for long gaming sessions. The fast charging is a lifesaver, and I also really like the S Pen for notes and editing photos, along with great battery life.

From the moment you hold it, you can feel the premium craftsmanship and attention to detail that Samsung has mastered over the years. The design is sleek, powerful, and refined, making it stand out instantly.

What truly makes this phone special is how perfectly everything comes together — design, power, camera, and user experience. Samsung has clearly pushed boundaries and delivered something exceptional.
This is more than just an upgrade — it’s a complete experience.
