Great phone with new tech
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: HoloCollecting
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the S26 Ultra for about two weeks now, and honestly, it’s the first time in a few years that a phone upgrade actually felt "new."
The first thing you notice is the screen—it’s ridiculously bright. I was outside in direct sunlight yesterday and didn't even have to squint to read my texts. The build feels super solid too; the titanium frame gives it a nice weight without feeling like a brick in my pocket.
What really sold me, though, is how much Galaxy AI has improved. It doesn't feel like a gimmick anymore. I’ve been using the live translation feature for work calls, and it’s almost instant now. Plus, the generative photo editing is a lifesaver—I managed to "clean up" some messy background clutter in a photo of my dog, and you can’t even tell it was edited.
Battery life is also a beast. I’m getting through a full day of heavy use (plenty of gaming and maps) with about 30% left by the time I hit the charger at night. If you’re on the fence about upgrading, just do it. This thing is a powerhouse.

Samsung just keeps bringing the heat with these ph

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Ai is crazy smart. Changing and creating pictures and all you have to do is tell your phone what to do. I am still learning about all the features. The privacy screen is sweet too.

Wonderful phone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This model has been my most favorite of all previous models. Being able to use the Galaxy AI on my photos and setting reminders with, has increased my user experience. The new features like being able to customize home page layout has been amazing. I like utilizing the folder option to expand on the page and click directly on the app I want to open without opening the folder. I plan to keep the s26 Ultra for the next 4years and I look forward to it.

Perfect phone for me
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Mon1Denver
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the functions available on this phone. I previously had a Note and then tried a few phones in between but this is one I will hold on to for as long as possible. It's a little big but you get used to that. It's a mini device right in my pocket.

My Thoughts
on April 9, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I came from a Galaxy s25 Ultra to the Galaxy s26 Ultra and have not been disappointed. The Privacy Screen is a very nice addition to the lineup as well as the better implementation of Galaxy AI. The phone also doesn't get as hot as quick, like my s25 Ultra did. Overall, the Galaxy s26 Ultra is a worthy upgrade!

Love GS26 ultra and all it's new features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Galaxy AI features this GS26 Ultra has like erase imperfection from photos and erase unwanted audio from videos. The integrated privacy screen feature is also great, can be used when needed. And let's talk about the video stabilizing when the phone rotates to horizontal it's absolutely awesome I love my new GS26 Ultra.

Love everything except 1 thing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this phone! Only thing I miss, is the square corners that made it easier to keep planted in the palm. The new rounded corners makes it easier to slip when using.
