[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung S26 Ultra because of it's incredible camera functions. Though it was unfortunate that my last phone got ran over & destroyed. It turned out to be a true blessing in disguise. I could not be happier with any other phone!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The smartphone landscape is constantly evolving, but the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra sets a remarkably high standard for what a modern flagship device can achieve. Unveiled as the pinnacle of Samsung’s mobile engineering, the S26 Ultra seamlessly blends refined physical ergonomics with cutting-edge internal technology, establishing itself as an absolute powerhouse for creators, power users, and everyday enthusiasts alike.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't had an upgrade since my note 10+! The on camera on the S26 ultra is amazing! Love all the AI features that come along with it! Just a great phone overall! But I miss samsung messeging!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish there were more options available from other brands when it comes to this product, but it seems like Samsung has a monopoly on the market. Unfortunately, that leaves consumers with very few alternatives to choose from.
Specifically regarding this item, I've noticed it has heating issues that can be quite concerning, and its battery capacity is only average, remaining unchanged compared to previous series models. Moreover, I believe the build quality of the S25 series was significantly better than that of the S26, which adds to my disappointment. Overall, I feel that there is a lack of innovation and improvement in this latest series.
Also, the price increase was another disappointment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hey y'all. So listen, I have been and Samsung user for years now and have never been unhappy with my choices. I had a minute 20 Ultra for what seems like an eternity before the screen blacked out on me. After a warranty replacement, I was introduced to the S series of the Samsung line and wasn't too disappointed with the S22 ultra 😀 but, I still missed my Note 20 Ultra. We'll let's fast forward to deciding i wanted a newer device that I could get long use of and settle in again with confidence that I have the best there is in the moment. I chose the SAMSUNG GS26 Ultra and the first thing you will notice is how much lighter it is. My Note 20 and S22 Ultra definitely had "weight" to them but my GS26 Ultra is feather light, but the display is absolutely beautiful. Of course being a new device there may be some kinks to work out but I am exploring tips and tricks to make this device customized to me and my personality. I chose the phone because of the features like privacy screen display built in, immersion display for watching videos or playing games and the color choices. I am also going to upgrade my watch from the 4 to the 9 40mm. Can't have new and old trying to work together...lol
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to make the switch to the Samsung with the new 26 ultra. I love how many different customizations I can make to my phone and I know there's still more to uncover. Selling feature for me was the privacy display for optional apps or toggle on/off when needed. I've always used a privacy screen protector. It's nice to have the option of not needing it all the time!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this phone for it's camera resolution and zooming. It has a lot of new great features that come in handy on a daily basis as well
