Now with update, it's a 5-star device
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: GalaxyGirl4Ever
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded from my beloved Galaxy Note 20 Ultra since support stopped last year. Initially had some issues, but an uodate was issued that seems to have fixed it. While I was initially not happy with dropping this much on a phone, I'm now somewhat over it. The layout is much better, as is screen resolution. While the Galaxy AI features seem cool, it's a no for me with the surveillance so I turned as much off as possible. Overall, the features I've come to love are better, faster and more intuitive. I do not understand how the eye fone crowd sticks with their non-split screen devices LOL.

The product is truly the best worldwide!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed the product very much ! Being samsung fan , and staying trustworthy to my favorite company always made me to compare with other brands , which made me seen that Samsung is truly a very top-level brand! Galaxy AI is the most convenient and easy to understand even for the elder generation! The privacy Screen - that's what we really need on a daily basis, to keep strangers out of our personal information !Innovation that Samsung provides every year makes staying loyal to my favorite brand !

Privacy screen
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Gshopforlife
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been daily-driving the S26 Ultra for 3 weeks and honestly, the two things I cared about most ended up being my favorite parts: the privacy screen and the S Pen.
*Privacy screen:*
This thing is clutch. Tilt it 30° off-center and the display basically goes black for anyone next to you. On the subway or at coffee shops, I can actually reply to work chats or check banking apps without doing the awkward hunch-and-shield move. Straight-on the brightness and color don’t take a hit like some older “privacy glass” protectors I’ve tried. Trade-off is you do have to be looking at it dead-on — sharing a video with someone next to you means you both have to crowd in. Worth it for me though. Nighttime viewing in bed is fine too; no weird grainy filter effect.

*S Pen:*
Still the reason to get an Ultra. Latency is basically zero now — feels like real pen on paper, even quick notes. I use it way more than I thought I would: signing PDFs on the fly, cropping screenshots to send, and the hover translate for Japanese menus is stupid useful. The new matte coating on the nib gives it a little bite so it’s not skating across glass. Only complaint: I wish Samsung gave us a spot to dock it on the side. Top corner means I still occasionally grab the phone and realize I left the pen on my desk.

For $X it’s not cheap, but if you handle sensitive stuff in public and actually write/sketch, those two features alone make it hard to go back to a regular.

S26 Ultra
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: KAB1AZ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI seems to be improving and becoming a bit more intuitive. I love the addition of the privacy screen as well as making that feature so customizable to exact content and portions of the screen to apply it to.

S26 Ultra Review
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Ainz99
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 Ultra has been a massive improvement compared to my previous phone the S24 Ultra. The newer model has been more smoother especially when using it for daily use. New features has been enjoyable only for the S26 Ultra for example the AI is more improved that it helps me screen calls and help me with things that I need advice on from fixing something minor or just to chat. Especially my video watch and gaming have been improved from both quality and performance. Overall it's been amazing using this phone and the more I mess it the more features I'm able to use.

Really Great Phone
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Thanos
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this phone for a while now and it’s actually been great. I mostly use it for gaming and watching videos, and the screen looks amazing. It’s super fast and doesn't lag at all, even when I have a bunch of apps open for school stuff. The battery also lasts a long time so I don't have to worry about it dying in the middle of the day. If you want a phone that can handle a lot of gaming and still work perfectly for everyday things, this is definitely it.

Excellent phone with great battery
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: SCHWIKE3
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone mostly for streaming music, tv, and some games. I have not had a chance to use a lot of galaxy AI but it seems to work well when I use it to search or research topics as well as being able to search with a picture. The camera works really well with the image stabilization as well. Best phone yet especially in the silver shadow color.
