I recommend this phone 100%
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: aduharte
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this phone because I can say it finally feels smoother thanks to a faster processor and, in my case, more memory (16GB). Resolution is very good, but I recommend using the privacy screen feature for select notifications and/or apps. The camera is slightly better due to the bigger aperture on the main camera. In my case I do notice a bit more light in photos and videos, and appreciate it. The camera software is good. I understand it. In the case of the wireless charge (60 watts) I like the speed and appreciate the increase. AI is good and useful, especially, in my case now nudge and writing assist. I like the improved battery life thanks to a better more efficient processor and an optimized ONE UI 8.5. However, there are details that should have been fixed already, for example, I cannot extend the Samsung Weather widget to 4x4. This makes it difficult to read because of the small letters and numbers. I was able to extend the Samsung Weather widget to 4x4 about one or two generations ago. This can be fixed in the coming software update. One other thing I noticed and do not like is the increased screen flicker. To summarize, I fully recommend this phone. As of today, after a month as my personal device, I can say I am enjoying this phone overall. I recommend it 100%.

The charging speed is very good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Made the jump from The Galaxy S24 ultra to this phone and I see a noticeable difference in how the Galaxy AI has a more integrated approach. However some of the models that are available should not integrate very well as the native model that Samsung goes to. I often found it My phone talking to me in my pocket with no real clear way of making it stop. I had to change the AI models that are available back to the native one for that to stop. Other than that the phone is wonderful good charges ultra fast last a good fair amount of the day but I'm a heavy user. Can't wait to see how next year's

The features on the S26 ultra are top notch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work 70hrs a week, and I use this phone for everything like keeping in touch with my dispatcher, listening to music or watching movies, maps for navigating & etc. This phone will usually last about 12-13 hrs before I have to charge it and only takes 30 minutes to charge it back to full. The camera quality is really good too. Haven't found anything I don't like about it so far.

My favorite Galaxy phone yet!
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: Tigridia
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been a loyal Galaxy user for years, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra is hands down the best yet. The display is a stunner. It's bright and crisp, and makes everything look gorgeous. The bevel is gone, which I'm honestly very happy about. I'm very much enjoying the Galaxy AI features. The Interpreter app is fantastic and I'm looking forward to using it in my Japanese studies to test my speaking ability (as well as using it in an upcoming trip to Japan!). It's basically a personal translator right in my pocket! I also really like the Galaxy AI audio editing features and the audio clean up.
Overall phone performance so far has been great. The camera quality is wonderful and night photos are impressively clear. Battery life is quite good so far as well. As it's brand new, I haven't had a chance to try every feature yet but I'm looking forward to it! As always, I love the versatility and customization options on the Galaxy phones. I'm very happy with my phone!

S26 Ultra good and bad.
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: SamsungSinceG3
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Phone is a vast improvement over my S22 ultra. I love the Galazy AI features! Small things like call screening are amazing! Galaxy AI just suggests things daily. Many of them I like.
Samsung, why did you take away Bluetooth feom the S-pen? I used mine for the camera all the time. It may have been a deal breaker for me if I would have known before I switched.
The camera is amazing. I am very happy to have no edge screen! Switching phone was vastly improved as well.
All in all, I reluctantly love this phone. If the pen still controlled my shutter I would give it a solid 5 stars!

The screen is bright, sharp, and very smooth, which makes everything look better whether I am watching videos, browsing, or playing games.

Overall, the Galaxy S26 Ultra delivers premium performance, a great display, strong battery life, and helpful features that make it easy to recommend.

Then goes with the camera. Camera features are awesome and how it is set up. It takes beautiful pictures at 200mp.
Overall this phone a better than the other competitor phone.
