One amazing review for one amazing piece of tech
on October 9, 2026
Posted by: LittleMike23
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The real reason I moved from my S23 Ultra was frustration from my side. At work, mobile reception was trash. The S23 Ultra used to constantly look for signal, turning the phone into a pocket heater and burning the battery until I was at 20% not even halfway through the shift.
When I chose the Galaxy S26 Ultra, I mainly was hoping the newer modem and cooling would fix the issues i used to have.
Honestly, it’s a night and day difference.
It completely solved my issues. Where the reception is weak, the phone holds onto the weak signal like a champ, it stays totally cool while idle, and I actually can come home with plenty of battery left.
Beyond that, the daily experience is awesome as well. It is very smooth, apps work great, and those slightly rounded corners are not digging into my palm anymore like the S23 did.
The anti-reflective screen is pure magic under direct sun as well, and the built-in privacy screen is amazing around coworkers and co-students since i am in university. The haptics are smooth, speakers have real punch and are very very loud, and the cameras finally began to take some great photos which on the S23 used to look like radioactive, over-sharpened oil paintings.
The S Pen even though not with Bluetooth anymore is still doing its job great overall the phone is a 10/10 and would recommend to anyone who wants to upgrade. I use it on a daily basis and the experience with the s26 ultra has been great so far.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone mainly for work. When I first upgraded I hated it but my carrier replaced it and now everything seems to better. I do think the camera on my s23 was better at taking pictures of paper work 2 to 6 inches away this s26 doesn't focus or make the words on the paper crisp. I think the new fingerprint scanner works a little faster then the 23

Best productivity device

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the s26 ultra. I use mine with 2 lines active, one for business and one for personal. It is relatively light weight. It has a very versatile camera, is very good on battery and performs flawlessly. The s26 ultra has the best multitasking experience on any US smartphone and has a built in stylus. I have a couple other phones but chose the s26 ultra for my recent vacation. Oh yes, and speaking of traveling with the s26 ultra you have a privacy display and can use the phone on the plane without the person beside being able to see your phone. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this device because I wanted an upgrade from my S22 Ultra and waited a long time for this to finally come out. I couldn't be any happier with my decision to wait for this phone. It does everything I want and so much more. You need this!

Outstanding device. Little power hungry

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gaming will drain this rapidly but normal use is reasonable. It is reasonably rugged. No scratches or dings yet and I am quite clumsy. Wouldn't recommend their case as it did break quickly but the phone itself has been just fine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to use this phone for daily task ,camera and multitasking and even gaming it's really good and perfect device and also battery lasts longer .
I use it on a daily basis and I like it so much I never had a problem with this device and it's really smooth and user friendly. As it comes to privacy it feels really private in public location to use privacy display that hides my screen visibility to others and even with the pen I can perform lot of things its cool and helpful and the AI features on this phone is really good helps a lot for daily use and even gaming and multitasking
