Voice to Text Button Still Out of Reach
on March 22, 2026
Posted by: J951
The new S26 Ultra continues to have the voice to text button on the left side of the keyboard, which is awkward considering most users are right handed and I use it all the time.

Hey J951, thank you for sharing your thoughts about your Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra with us.

some things can only be controlled by watch
on May 4, 2026
Posted by: cat person
from idaho
bought this phone for large screen and camera capabilities. the main downside that makes me think about changing to different company is that Samsung now has all smart things going to the Samsung watch. I can no longer control or adjust settings for things like buds or smart items in my home (like my thermostat) from my phone.
1. not everyone has a smart phone
2 not everyone wears their smart phone at all times
3 if you have a medical eye condition (like I do) doing things on the smaller screen of the watch is a
nightmare. i bought the larger screen phone for a reason.
What were you thinking???

The best galaxy yet!
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: Kain99
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who has owned every galaxy flagship, I have to say the S26 Ultra is the best galaxy yet! It's so light and comfortable to hold and easily the smoothest experience I've had. There's nothing the phone can't handle and with all the new Galaxy AI features there's alot of fun to be had! The battery now lasts longer which is amazing and speaks volumes for the phone!

The best phone of the year
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Glytch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 Ultra is easily the best phone I've ever used. The privacy screen is one of the best features of this with no annoying glass cover on the screen or anything like that. In the AI age I have to say galaxy AI is integrated so well that it doesn't feel out of place or clunky, it just works and only when you want it. Fantastic phone.

Galaxy ai are truly revolutionary
on March 24, 2026
Posted by: MrEDude
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the feel of this phone, it's solid! The processor is stupid fast and I love all of the Galaxy AI features that come right out of the box. My favorite is the photo AI generator that is built right into the Gallery app!
I also game on the phone and there is 0 lag from what I have experienced so far.
The camera is excellent quality, I just wish that it showed what per detail while zoomed in but other than that, no complaints.
I love this phone and I highly recommend it.
