a super phone on steroids!
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: 210yeti
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the built in A.I features! No need to download apps when you have it at your fingertips!
The A.I features integrated in the photo editing is a huge plus!
I was able to make my self look like a neurosurgeon, even though I am not! Who would have guessed!!

Good phone! But some compromises!
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: YungMochi
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone has great battery life and feels good in the hand! Coming from the SSD Ultra it's a pretty decent upgrade. Honestly not really noticing much of a change in camera quality but I haven't had many opportunities to use the cameras yet. Galaxy AI got a lot of updates, but I feel like it really doesn't change much about my daily routine. As a student who also has clinic twice a week the battery lasts forever! I get more than 24 hrs off the charger WITH 6+ hours of screen on time. The privacy display is a little gimmicky but is nice to hide your passwords and notifications from nosy people. I wouldn't say it's worth buying the phone for. My biggest gripes are the bigger camera bump and the side buttons. The phone wobbles so much even with a case and the buttons are a little too easy to press. I accidentally lock the screen all the time because the actuation force on the buttons are a little light. All in all, I'm really happy with the phone and the battery life and feel in the hand are improvements that I feel daily.

Great new phone
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Schlunger
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love the new phone. The privacy display is very nice as someone who is regularly out in public on my phone. Galaxy AI introduces new features, including now nudge, so that's been nice as well when it's popped up. The camera improvements are huge, I'd recommend the phone based on that alone, and so many other things make it a great experience

The S26 Ultra is a feature packed powerhouse.
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: MoonShooter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from a Galaxy S23 Ultra to the S26 Ultra. I was a little hesitant of the Galaxy AI, but have been pleasantly surprised by the functionality and how much it helps everyday life. I use the photo editing fearure the most, it is surprising how well the software improves photos.
The screen is gorgeous, bright colors with sharp contrast really makes photos and videos pop.
Battery life has improved since the S23 Ultra. My old phone would last about half a day, but this S26 Ultra I can use it for twenty hours, with battery saver off, before having to charge it. Turning battery saver on boost this to a total usage time of twenty six hours!
Overall this phone is amazing! Plenty of storage space, with so many features you will probably never use them all.

Love this phone
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Iconiq5n
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this phone daily for content creation, social media, and everyday life, and it’s easily the best upgrade I’ve made. The performance is insanely fast, and everything from editing videos to multitasking feels smooth.
The camera quality is a huge standout for me. I shoot a lot of car content, and the detail, stabilization, and low light performance make a big difference. It honestly replaced the need for extra gear in a lot of situations.
Galaxy AI has been surprisingly useful too. I use it for quick edits, translations, and even helping clean up photos, which saves me a ton of time when I’m posting consistently.
Battery life has been solid even with heavy use throughout the day, and the display is super bright and sharp whether I’m outside or editing content.
Overall, this phone just makes everything easier. Whether it’s content creation, streaming, or everyday use, it handles it all without slowing down.

Pre ordered the S26 Ultra 1T storage
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Lifeina360degreeview
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the S26 Ultra 1T because I'm a Independent Google street View 360 Photographer. I need the space and capacity of the larger storage. I also do General Life in360 photography so the ablility of the Camera is excellent. The Galaxy AI is great to sugjesting photo changes and such . Do miss a few of the style option in the photo editor of my S20 but I know how to transpher the photo across the phones . Have yet to try the night photos but that is next. Overall a great improvement from my S Note 20
