Everything Is Organic
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: TheFirstCurse
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The galaxy AI is absolutely the best image eraser/creator on any phone. Didn't even need to download a 3rd party app. I pre-ordered the phone and came early. I'd still prefer some type of metal for the back of the phone but the glass feels fine. Camera is absolutely Chef's Kiss.

S26 ultra
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Samsungfan1973DR
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm absolutely loving my new phone. The Galaxy AI is so fun to use. I'm still discovering all the new things it does. I'm a week in and I couldn't be more pleased. The camera is great! Video stabilizer works well. I always have trouble holding the phone completely still so this is fabulous. The colors of the pictures that I've taken have been brighter and look more natural. Before the colors almost appeared exaggerated and a photo that shows the colors you photographed is so much better. I like to remember things how they were seen with my eyes and this new camera does that. I will probably need a few weeks to learn everything it is able to do but I'm already more than happy with it. Operating system runs really smooth so scrolling is better on my apps and also my games run smoother. I'm always excited about the new phones when they're released and this one did not disappoint. I just can't say how much I love it. There are endless wonderful things to say about it. Samsung phones and devices are my favorite and I always tell everyone that they're the best. So keep improving and making them better. It's truly exciting.

Function Meets Style
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Mercenarycoma
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After sitting on the S23 Ultra for a long while, upgrading to the S26 Ultra felt right. The initial setup was extremely simple and with Galaxy Ai and all the updated smart components, the phone was ready to go in an extremely short amount of time. The phone itself moves quickly when using it. No slow downs or hiccups, it processes everything I need efficiently and can juggle tasks with ease, especially with the AI assistant. The AI is completely optional but I choose to give it a go and see what it was capable of and it did not disappoint. It works well with other AI as well such as your Google Ai and Home products.
The style of the phone is a welcomed return to "fuller" phone. While the edged screens were nice in older models, the grip was the biggest downfall and how sensitive the screen was to any drops, even with a case and screen protector. This new phone feels solid! Not bulky, still a slimmedndown design but not like I could drop it just by reaching for my pocket.
The camera is excellent! The upgrades here are better then ever and no matter what angle, lighting, weather or distance, shots come out incredible. The Galaxy AI helps out here as well and can be turned on to help you get the perfect shot. The new added feature of the rotating camera is super cool. Lock on to you subject and the camera can be turned upside down without losing focus and orientation.
The overall display with the screen is excellent. Games looks great and text is super clear. Overall, 10/10

Blazing Fast
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Speedfreak
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything about this phone is much quicker and snappier than my old S23 Ultra. Apps open faster. camera is faster. games are smoother. scrolling is smoother. Charging is faster. Fingerprint reader is faster. NFC payments are faster. Wi-Fi is faster. 5G is faster and is more usable in places with spotty coverage.
Unfortunately the Spen is now smaller and you can't use it as a remote to control the camera or play/pause media anymore.

Great upgrades and new Galaxy AI features.
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Mattchupichu
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm super excited about my new Galaxy S26 Ultra. Getting to know it better and play round with all of the new Galaxy AI features is such a treat. Gemini Pro is outstanding. I've already created a lot of really great photos, videos and memories. I'm currently making stickers by integrating images of places we love, with photos. The camera is my favorite by far. The low light is better than ever.

The S26 That Has Created A Lifetime Customer
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: MrMintTree
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra has been amazing for streaming, gaming, and school. I love all the AI features, especially the ones for customizing the screen layout, and the built in game booster lets me prioritize performance or power saving - perfect for long gaming sessions. The fast charging is a lifesaver, and I also really like the S Pen for notes and editing photos, along with great battery life.

I really love the new look
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Askarovna
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm in love, I thought 1 year apart (i had s25 ultra) wouldn't make a big difference but it did. I got beautiful grey phone, cameras look outstanding. The new screen feature aka spy screen is exactly what I needed since I dont like screen protectors. Galaxy ai is the beast now I don't need my any chat gpt anymore.
I didn't expect such an improvement.
