The Ultra is still...Ultra

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Many reviews are complaining how the Ultra has fallen far from its moniker, I'm here to tell you that's far from the truth.
I had the Note 20, the s23 ultra, then the fold 6. For years the Ultra line of phones has offered an experience that no other phone can offer, and switching to the fold 6 for over a year made that exceedingly obvious. The cameras, and not just the quality but the utility of having 4 spectacular lenses to choose from, there is a camera for every scenario. When you switch to any other phone with 3 lenses or less, you are immediately aware of the limits that the Ultra absolutely smashes through.
"The Ultra has not innovated enough to be worth it"
I can tell you right now, comparing to the s23 ultra... there is lots of innovation. Yes you won't be wanting to upgrade from the 25 or maybe the 24, but that's a positive not a negative. When you buy the Ultra, you are hoping to have a reliable (and exceptional) companion for years to come. No phone manufacturer makes a phone worthy of upgrade from last gen in 2026... It's time to stop pretending like that's a bad thing. The software is smoother and more polished, from the camera app to the smart ai search in the settings. The AI call screening, Gemini and Bixby not only having LLM capabilities but LAM capabilities making them actually useful assistants.
We don't need endless hardware upgrades because what we have is already so amazing and future proof. But the software improvements you will notice every day.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the design; it feels very light and slim. Its "Galxy AI" features are excellent, but I do miss the SPen's Bluetooth connectivity.
The product has great features, that work perfect.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my device for entertainment. Taking pictures and videos. The pictures are priceless. I dont have to add no features on them.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the rounded corners of the S26 Ultra coming from the S24 Ultra. The performance and display are really good.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone as my primary camera for travel. The pictures are stunning. The color and deph of field are unmatched. I love the hands free photography using my voice or my pen. The AI allows me to remove anything I want quickly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] S26 Ultra is a marvel in itself. A powerful device capable of handling multiple tasks, with many AI capabilities included in this latest innovation with a pen 🖊 for the individual to innovate. An upgrade from the S25 Ultra is beautiful device which I recommend. I opted for 512GB because I take a lot of pictures and record videos too. Nightography is a beauty as it brings so much clearer pictures irrespective of the lighting at night. I will gladly buy another one for my wife during the next promotion.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone lives up to all the hype. It very fast. It fits great in my hands. The screen is unique with brightness in colors. I upgraded from the 23 ultra and it was very easy to get my personal information moved over.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The upgraded lenses really allows for better clean faster shots in both day and night! Battery life and charging speed with the new 60 watt charging actually makes a difference this year...the new Galaxy A.I features really help you make a difference in our photography. Would definitely recommend.
