Just as good as it was promised.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung hit it out of the park again. I upgraded from my S24 Ultra and Fold 7 to the S26 Ultra. I do not regret this choice, "Galaxy AI" has made photo editing, and translation a breeze. The phone feels great in hand, and performance is smooth and fast. Couple all of this with One UI and you have the complete package. I have been a Samsung user for a long time and with each new device, they continue to solidify why I choose them over everyone else.

Loaded with all new features
on March 24, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new features offered by Galaxy AI on the Galaxy S 26 Ultra are a game changer for me as a small business owner. From the generative photo features to the new ai document scanner it makes it so easy to edit on the fly and scan receipts and documents instantly digitizing them. My favorite so far is the Smart Ai assistant that helps by screening calls when they come in and using the smart ai features to help cut down on telemarketers and spam. I'm coming from a s22 ultra and the sheer quantity of spam calls I no longer receive have easily been cut down from twenty to MAYBE 2 a day. So now I'm no longer wasting time answering scam and spam and now getting to clients that help us grow. The time spent dealing with spam can now be allocated to legitimate work and progress. The cameras are great they are clear and the motion smoothing for video is great, taking photos and videos especially with the new horizon lock feature make content creation super easy now. It's been about a month with the phone and I'm still learning about new features everyday. If your coming from an older Samsung Galaxy S Series this might be the time to upgrade.

Privacy and Power in a Sleek Package
on March 24, 2026
Posted by: Jesuszp94
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the new Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, and while it looks familiar, the experience is a major step up. It feels like a tool designed for real-world use rather than just a spec sheet.
The standout feature is definitely the new Privacy Display. It’s impressive how it blocks side-view "snoopers" in public while staying crystal clear for me. It’s a feature I didn’t know I needed until now.
The Highlights:
Galaxy AI: Features like Now Nudge are game-changers. The keyboard now suggests photos or events based on my chats, which really speeds up my day.
Low-Light Camera: The wider aperture on the 200MP sensor makes night shots look much more natural with significantly less noise.
Performance: The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is a beast. Even during heavy video editing or gaming, the improved cooling keeps the phone from getting hot.
Points to Note:
Brightness: The Privacy Display makes the screen slightly less "punchy" than previous models, a small trade-off for security.
Design: It’s lighter and more comfortable to hold, but the camera bump is still quite large, making it a bit wobbly on a desk without a case.
Charging: 60W is an improvement, but I’d love to see even faster speeds for a battery this size.
Verdict: If you’re upgrading from an older model, the jump is massive. The privacy features and AI fluidity make it a top-tier choice.

Its curved design makes it look elegant, lighter.
It feels soft and light in my hands.
Very surprising the privacy mode of the screen.
Definitely happy with my new Samsung galaxy s26 ultra.
