I am highly satisfied with my S26 Ultra; it unquestionably represents the most exceptional phone I have possessed in the past decade. The features of this device provide me with comprehensive control. The camera quality is unparalleled. Samsung clearly demonstrates a forward-looking approach, whereas other brands are approximately three years behind.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the S24 Ultra to the S26 Ultra. So far, I am loving all the new features that I have been able to explore. I know there are so many other new features, but trying to figure out what they all are and how to access them isn't easy. If I were to make any recommendation to a new model, i would highly suggest a section, either in settings or in tips, that show how to access and use any and all of the new features that come with a new device. Kind of like the way Galaxy AI is set up. I love that I can go into my settings and boom! Tap on it and you have a full list of all the different functions, how to access and use it. Im still learning all the ways I can use Galaxy AI on my new phone but from what I've experienced so far, it's incredible to say the least! I've only ever used my phones for personal use so I can't speak on behalf of those who would use it strictly for business, but I'd say this phone would be great for any type of use!
PS. PLEASE 🙏🏻 put the Galaxy buds settings back in the wearable app! It just makes more sense to have all your wearable settings in one place.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and it’s easily one of the best phones I’ve owned. The 6.9-inch display is bright, smooth, and perfect for streaming or everyday use. A standout feature is the Privacy Display, which limits side viewing—great for public use.
The camera is incredible. The 200MP lens captures sharp detail, and the zoom lets you take clear photos from far away. Low-light shots also look great.
Performance is fast and smooth, even with multitasking or gaming. The Galaxy AI features are genuinely useful, especially for quick photo edits and smart enhancements. Battery life easily lasts all day.
Overall, it’s a powerful, well-rounded phone with features you’ll actually use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI is useful for learning my routines and adjusting to allow me to get the best from the device.
Software updates now come through Samsung and One UI as opposed to coming directly from Google/Android. This allows Samsung to protect against bugs and defects in the updates.
I have typically been getting 2 days on the battery.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a long time Samsung fan I had avoided upgrading from my S22 Ultra as even years after it still was a great device. I decided it was time, and man I wished I had sooner. The smoothness of the S26 Ultra is impressive, the photos are AMAZING and I am even enjoying exploring the new Galaxy AI.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a dedicated Samsung phone customer for several years and intend to continue being so. In my opinion, no other phones can compare to my Ultra series. They are easy to manage, feature an excellent camera, and offer the convenience of installment payments.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded to the s26 ultra from the s23 ultra and I honestly didn't care about updating but my phone was cracked and was continously loosing data signal. I didn't care about any of the AI or the privacy screen features... but, after receiving this phone it turns out I like to have the features. While I don't use them constantly it is nice to have. I am happy with my upgrade
