Missing feathers

on April 8, 2026

Posted by: Bren

I traded up from the s25 ultra to the s26 ultra and was very disappointed that there were some features missing. What happened to Samsung messages? And the S pen is no longer Bluetooth! And the one that upset me the most was the Samsung themes. They only show up on the home page. I purchased a lot of them on my previous phones and I'm disappointed I can't use them on this one. Other that that, I love the phone.

Love the upgrade

from Salem, Oregon

The camera is awsome. Great features, clear photos and good zoom. The display is big and has vivid colors. Love the new privacy feature and it out performs all the other phones I have!

I would recommend this to a friend!

New Phone Same Phone

on March 13, 2026

Posted by: Strive4Gr8ness

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While the Galaxy AI is cool and engaging but honestly I went from a S23 Ultra to this 26 model and I truly feel my previous phone was bigger that I liked and allowed me to use older apps such as the Numberpad Keyboard because the T9 keyboard is very complicated on this device. It could option to save added words like slang to dictionary and a space bar where the 0 would be while allowing the prediction to work better. The new camera itself is great especially for close up in depth photos. I do wish charger boxes would be a thing again as with what phones are costing now there should be more included not less. I've been Team Samsung for years such as washers, televisions and phones but I feel lately they are doing too much to compare phone wise to the "fruit phone". While the phone is nice I sadly don't feel it was worth the jump I expected when upgrading.

Disappointing!

on March 23, 2026

Posted by: Joanna

I'm disappointed with the Galaxy S26 Ultra! I replaced my S23 with this, and the S23 is a much better phone. The fact that the S Pen has no connectivity and can't snap photos is a major downgrade. The built-in privacy screen isn't worth it when you can buy a privacy screen protector.
