Worth the upgrade!
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: TechSavy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been using Galaxy phones since the Note 1 and the best just keeps getting better. With security at a premium the privacy screen is the next leap in to the future of technology. The phone is fast and smooth and a prime example why I keep upgrading to new Samsung Galaxy devices!

S26 Ultra is a great phone.
on March 13, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First and foremost, the S26 Ultra is gorgeous. From it's redesign flat screen, curved corners, and enhanced camera layout, to colors available. The screen glare is reduced while also decreasing finger prints. Privacy screen is a welcome addition. Under the hood, it's a faster processor that makes anything from Google AI to watching YouTube videos a breeze. I use my primarily for every day life. Paying bills, shopping, and keeping in touch with family. Whatever your into, this phone can handle it. And with the assistance of AI, it doesn't get any better.

Amazing phone!
on March 13, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok first of all let's start off by saying that I've owned the S10+ the S21, 22,24 and now the S26 ultra. This by far is my favorite ultra. The camera quality is amazing now even at night. The phone operates so smoothly and the display is gorgeous despite what other people that don't own or ever plan on owning the phone say about it. The privacy display is extremely useful to those that like that feature. I've never owned a privacy display so having this available without needing to add hardware is very convenient.
The software in the one ui 8.5 is smooth and probably the best it's ever been. What I use the most is the Galaxy AI to edit photos. I've been taking old family photos and using the "portrait" Galaxy AI function to make some pretty fun pictures. They look so realistic that other family members don't remember ever taking portraits. Highly recommend this phone to anyone that wants a flagship top of the line phone. Last thing is the hardware and the smooth gaming this phone can accomplish. It's incredible how smooth games run even with complex graphics. Definitely console worthy comparisons

A agile mobile office in my pocket!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Galaxy phone!
My Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is the center of how I work, create, and stay organized every day. I start my mornings by glancing at the Always‑On Display, which gives me the time, weather, battery level, and any notifications I actually need to see. I like that I don’t have to unlock anything unless something requires my attention, and when I do, the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor makes it instant. I keep my home screen clean and intentional, with only the apps I use daily on the front page and everything else organized into folders or accessed through search. I don’t like clutter, and I don’t like friction.

The camera is one of the features I use the most. I’m constantly capturing content for work, branding, and everyday life, and the S26 Ultra makes that easy. I double‑tap the power button to open the camera quickly, and I switch between high‑resolution shots, portrait mode, night mode, and stabilized video depending on what I’m doing. The zoom is powerful enough that I can capture distant details without losing quality. I don’t over-edit my photos either — the phone’s AI usually gives me the look I want right away.
Productivity is where this phone really becomes my mobile office. I manage emails, scheduling, messaging, social media, document reviews, and quick edits all from the device. Samsung Notes is where I jot down ideas, and I use Google Workspace or Microsoft apps when I need to work on documents. When I want a desktop-like experience, I swit

Perfect For Me
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: VAMPLYF
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hesitant because I heard some reviews about the privacy screen not being great, but it works amazingly for me. I usually have the blue light filter on anyways, so I'm used to the screen being dimmer.
The "Galaxy AI" features have been great so far. I mainly use my phone for my schedule, email, work schedule, taking pictures and videos, and talking or texting with friends. The camera is most important for me as I have 3 children and I love to capture ALL the memories!!
The only thing I wish was different is the Bluetooth functionality of the s-pen. I used it a lot to take pictures so that is a big bummer I can't do that anymore.
Overall, I'm very happy with this device. I love the one handed mode- as I am constantly juggling many tasks at once.
