A much improved S24Ultra
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: Phranque
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved my S24Galaxy Ultra and felt that the new S26 Ultra was well worth getting. The transition was great, and everything transferred so easily, including Samsung pass. I had a hard time packing my s24 and sending it in for tradein, and I would have loved to keep it as a spare...But the new S26 quickly changed my mind.
I have had Samsung S Ultra phones since my Note 20, and love all the features available. I only wish I could use all of them easily. I love my Galaxy buds and Ai watches, and that completes my phone needs.
S26 is a terrific product, and is so much better than Iphones...

This phone has great screen improvements
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: Dvtone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] S26 ultra is a masterclass in refinement proving that innovation don't requires always a redesign. The standout feature is the new privacy display. It's a genuine innovative piece that let's you switch to a built in privacy screen saving you from awkward screen protectors. Also the features in the camera with the horizontal lock that keeps your footage perfectly level even if you spin the phone
There are a lot of improvement. This is a fantastic upgrade that brings genuine hardware features to the table. Thanks samsung

Love the way it feels in your hand
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: Blackout
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is one of the most capable Android phones you can buy, but it feels more like a refined upgrade than a bold reinvention. Its standout feature is the new Privacy Display, which actually feels useful instead of gimmicky, while Samsung’s One UI 8.5 remains one of the strongest software experiences on Android
The camera system stays close to last year’s formula, but Samsung appears to have improved the main sensor and processing, which helps with motion capture and overall consistency. Photos can still look a little flat compared with some rivals, even though the phone remains one of the strongest camera phones in Samsung’s lineup. Battery life is solid, and faster charging is a welcome improvement over past Samsung flagships.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is an easy phone to recommend if you want the best Samsung has to offer: a huge display, strong performance, long software support, and genuinely useful new features.It is not the most exciting upgrade in the world, but it is a polished, powerful, and very complete flagship.
Samsung slimmed the phone down and made it lighter, which helps a lot on a device this large. The rounded corners and softened edges make it more comfortable to hold, but the camera bump still keeps the design from feeling perfectly balanced. Overall, it looks premium and feels unmistakably like a Galaxy Ultra.
And the Galaxy AI integration is just absolutely amazing

Excellent product. Worth the wait
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: Joe213
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This device is currently my preferred mobile phone. I previously owned the Galaxy S23 Ultra and subsequently upgraded to the S26 Ultra, which represented a significant enhancement for my needs. The privacy display feature is particularly noteworthy, as it eliminates the necessity for external privacy screen protectors, thereby preventing any consistent dimming of the screen. The battery life is amazing as well.

Amazing phone. Falls short of being perfect
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: GearOfFire
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone works perfectly and it has so many functions it become a pocket computer, camera is amazing and the Galaxy IA helps out a lot as it very intuitive.
Battery is that area that could be so much better at. I remember i had a Galaxy S8+ and that phone was giving me 2 full days of battery. I wad expecting that with this phone but it fell short unfortunately.
