[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra transforms the phone from just another communication device into a functional device that becomes part of your life. The AI assistant makes every aspect of my life easier that it was before. From making my drive conversational where topics range from complex work task or discussing a recipe to cook when I get home. For those that love photography, the phone comes with a very capable and brilliant camera system with which Galaxy AI ensures that it doesn't just stop with capturing a moment and ending there, but provides extended functionality that bring either the moment to life flawlessly. I have used all the S series from S23 ultra but this is the best that I have used and owned.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Magic pixel is not only useful for privacy but also reading in bed without disturbing your significant other with bright screen light. It does lighten the screen but it is a small consolation. It can be turned on or off for any app or all the time.
Galaxy AI is very useful for photos and doing searches and questions about anything on the screen. Just hold down the home key. Very fast and extremely useful.
The phone is well worth the upgrade and the energy efficiency is amazing. The phone barely warms up at all even under high brightness and gaming.
To sum it up - I love the S26 Ultra and I think you will too.
