Privacy Display Makes It the Android King!
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: Redhill1974
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra doesn’t shout about a redesign — it wins by fixing daily annoyances. After a week with it, two things stand out: Privacy Display actually works, and the cameras finally deliver cleaner low-light shots without gimmicks.
Privacy Display is the headliner. It dims sensitive content from side angles, app-by-app, so you can read messages on the train without broadcasting them. It’s customizable, not a blunt filter, and it solves a real problem. The trade-off is slightly narrower viewing angles than the S25 Ultra, but for commuters and office workers, it’s worth it.
Performance is effortless thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy and a larger vapor chamber — fast, cool, and stable even in long gaming sessions. The 6.9-inch QHD+ AMOLED hits 2600 nits, adds ProScaler sharpening and more natural color via Samsung’s new image engine, and keeps S Pen support. The phone is thinner and lighter than last year, though the camera bump is undeniably bigger and wobbles on a desk.
Cameras: same 200MP + 50MP ultrawide + 50MP 5x + 10MP 3x layout, but with wider apertures (f/1.4 main, f/2.9 telephoto) that pull in 47% and 37% more light respectively. The result is brighter low-light photos, better detail retention, and more natural background separation. The 5x telephoto is noticeably more vivid, and Horizontal Lock in video keeps footage level even with shaky hands. The 3x telephoto is unchanged and feels dated, but the main and 5x lenses are genuine upgrades.

Not a lot of improvement on the camera

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a great phone but I was expecting huge improvements in the camera since the 23 and tbh, I haven't noticed that it is any better at all. Since the camera is the only reason I bought the phone, it was a big disappointment. Overall though, it is a great phone and the camera, still a good camera. Just not what I was personally expecting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I joined the family with Note 9 and now have the S26 Ultra. The Ultra is a freash revamp of great phone. I use it for personal and business use. The ease of set up is phenomenal. I enjoy taking pictures and creating posts on social media. I look forward to using the Galaxy AI for further enhancements.

Ultra fan for life!
on March 31, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Oh lordy, I really didn't want to give up my s24 Ultra but as much as I used it, day and day out, I knew the battery was slowing down after 2+ years of hard daily use. So I hit up the reviews on YouTube, read my Sammy newsletter on all things Samsung and finally got my S26. Transition was seamless, the Galaxy AI helped me create some new wallpapers and the operating system was warp speed fast. What else was fast? The charging!!! That made me a very happy camper! I love the little things in life. Even the Spen felt like home...well, not quite. It was thinner. Makes me feel like I'm going to break it every time I do my paint by numbers app. Alzo, not quite as functional as my last SPen because it doesn't have WiFi. I could use it like a remote control for the camera. Speaking off, this camera is sick! I.love taking pics of the wildlife around my house. What's irksome is that the csmer sticks out so harshly from the body of the phone, it made it hard to put the phone flat on a table as I used it. Had to get a case. The sound quality is still top notch. My s24untra was perfect, but ghis S26 is nothing to sneeze at
It will continue to be my daily driver as I manage my disability.
