Love my Upgrade
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: CirclesNSquares
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded from the Samsung S20 to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, and I absolutely love this phone. The difference is night and day—everything feels faster, smoother, and much more advanced.
One of my favorite features is Galaxy AI. It’s actually useful in everyday life, whether it’s helping with messages, organizing content, or improving photos. It makes things easier without feeling complicated.
I use my phone a lot for streaming and gaming, and the performance has been amazing. Videos look incredible on the display, and everything runs smoothly with no lag. Gaming is a much better experience on the larger screen.
Battery life is okay—not bad, but not amazing either. I do charge it daily, especially with how much I use my phone, but it gets me through the day without any major issues.
Overall, upgrading to the S26 Ultra was 100% worth it. If you’re coming from an older model like the S20, you’ll notice a huge improvement in performance, features, and overall experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked it; the screen is brighter now, and I was surprised by how well the privacy feature works. It feels more comfortable in the hand, and the blue color is the best.

Excellent upgrade!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the Galaxy Note 10+ 5g and it's night and day! The S26 Ultra has an amazing camera. I was able to take an EXCELLENT picture of the moon using the 100 times zoom. Galaxy AI is also one of my favorite things about the phone. Being able to hold the home button, circle something on screen, and easily search for it has been AMAZING! Also, picture editing is a cool experience now. I love being able to edit out unsightly additions in the background. My wife and I took a few pictures downtown and we could edit out trashcans, cars, and other things to make our pictures look special. I'm VERY happy with this upgrade!

This is an awesome phone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is hands-down the most impressive smartphone I've ever used—it's not just an upgrade; it's a genuine leap forward that redefines what a flagship phone can be.
From the moment I unboxed it, the design felt premium and refined: a sleek 6.9-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display that's brighter, more anti-reflective, and incredibly vibrant, paired with a slimmer 7.9mm profile and lighter 214g build that makes it surprisingly comfortable for all-day holding. The rounded ergonomic corners and Armor Aluminum frame give it a luxurious yet durable feel.
The camera system is phenomenal. The 200MP main sensor with its wider F1.4 aperture captures stunning detail and performs exceptionally in low light, delivering clearer, brighter shots than ever before. Combined with the 50MP telephoto (F2.9) for superior zoom and the enhanced ProVisual Engine, photos and videos look professional-grade straight out of the phone. Nightography and selfie improvements (thanks to the AI ISP) make every shot pop with natural tones and incredible dynamic range.
But what truly sets the Galaxy S26 Ultra apart is its Galaxy AI integration, powered by the custom Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor. With a massive 39% boost in NPU performance, AI tasks run seamlessly and on-device for speed and privacy. Features like Photo Assist let you edit images effortlessly—just type or speak prompts (e.g., "remove the background" or "enhance the sunset")

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone has been amazing. I have had Samsung all my life, and I just came from the S23 ultra. I didn't want to leave the curved screen, but this phone made me realize it's so worth it. The galaxy Ai this phone uses is my favorite part. It makes life so simple. 10/10 would suggest this to family.
