The product did not hold a charge/defective
on March 7, 2026
Posted by: Unhappy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worst experience with Samsung! I always have had a positive experience, except on this purchase. The phone lasted me less than 24hrs. I charged it overnight and it only charged to 70 percent, in less than 2 hrs the battery was down to 20 percent. The whole time the phone is overheating, hot to the touch. I called to get the issue resolved, worst options given to solve issue/ nothing was resolved. Returned item. The phone is so expensive, not worth the headache.

The best galaxy yet!
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: Kain99
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who has owned every galaxy flagship, I have to say the S26 Ultra is the best galaxy yet! It's so light and comfortable to hold and easily the smoothest experience I've had. There's nothing the phone can't handle and with all the new Galaxy AI features there's alot of fun to be had! The battery now lasts longer which is amazing and speaks volumes for the phone!

The best phone of the year
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Glytch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 Ultra is easily the best phone I've ever used. The privacy screen is one of the best features of this with no annoying glass cover on the screen or anything like that. In the AI age I have to say galaxy AI is integrated so well that it doesn't feel out of place or clunky, it just works and only when you want it. Fantastic phone.

Not so durable
on April 3, 2026
Posted by: Sohamsj
Plz use a screenprotector, I learnt the hard way.
Owned note series since s9, always bought a screen protector, skipped for the first time buying into hype of a strong durable screen.
Another issue with this phone is it goes into listening AI mode even if the phone is idle or not in use.
My First note that's cracked, not a first I was looking forward to.

I expected more
on March 17, 2026
Posted by: csaba20
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are a lot of good things to say about the phone. The battery life (and charging speed), the performance, the improved speakers, etc... But I can't help but to dwell on where it falls short. The display is clearly worse than previous iterations. Not only it's noticeably dimmer (even when privacy display is off), but it looks looks pixelated; I noticed it as soon as I turned on the phone when reading text. The fact that Samsung flagship still doesn't have built in magnets for magsafe is baffling; and they also created a technology (Qi 2.2) that practically blocks all case manufacturers from having a case that allows your phone to reach the advertised 25w magsafe charging speed consistently.
