Posted by: HamzaRalliart
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the best features of the galaxy s26 ultra is the brand new never before seen on a phone privacy display witch covers more than a normal screen protector privacy screen, I love using galaxy edit especially for photos and videos and the Galaxy AI is amazing at touching up of all types of photos and videos I really like it and appreciate the work put into making it this amazing keep doing great things and innovating more into the new phones so we get even better display technology and better AI, I know samsung can always make anything better especially with the foldable phones I'd like to soon purchase the all new Tri-Fold in the near future, thank you samsung for this great phone.

HUGE upgrade!!
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: rastolin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] finally bit the bullet and retired my trusty s10 (rip headphone jack & sd slot). other reviews indicated that the s26 ultra wouldn't be much of an upgrade to s24 ultra or the s25 ultra but having tried both for a few weeks, I can definitely say that it IS a substantial upgrade in terms of refinement. Way better Galaxy AI integrations with this gen and seems to be much quicker while being lighter on the battery usage. I also prefer having a privacy mode that I can toggle than a permanent privacy screen protector for when I show things to people.

This phone leaves its competition in the dust!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I switched from a Google Pixel smartphone, to Samsung's latest Galaxy S26 "genius"-phone, featuring the best AI you could ever ask for. The features on this phone are endless! The built- in AI technology is superb! I can't put this phone down!

Unexpected huge disappointment
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: Suca
from Seattle
It seems like I may be one of the few people who can’t adapt to the latest Samsung display changes. I’ve tried what I believe are all the available settings and adjustments (all privacy settings kept turned off) , but this screen consistently causes headaches, eye strain, and even dizziness with extended use.
I’ve been using Samsung phones for years, and this is the first time I’ve experienced anything like this. Unfortunately, it makes the device unusable for me.
Since I already shipped my trade-in device, my old phone is gone and I am left with an unusable device, which I’ll now have to try to sell and look elsewhere for a replacement.
I’m very disappointed with Samsung’s “improvements,” as this experience has been a major step back for me compared to previous devices
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Feature Request:Video Frame Interpolation on Phone
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: Blin980
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hi Samsung,
The Galaxy S26 Ultra does not feel like a major upgrade over the previous generation. There are not many standout improvements, and the move from a titanium frame to an aluminum frame makes it feel less premium.
I also feel that the privacy feature may have come at the cost of display quality, and the screen looks less impressive than the S25 Ultra. What I would really like to see instead is a video frame interpolation feature. Aside from communication, I mainly use my phone for listening to music and watching videos, so multimedia performance matters a lot to me.
Since Galaxy phones already have high-refresh-rate displays, video frame interpolation would make video playback smoother and improve the overall viewing experience.
Many other smartphone brands already offer similar features, so I hope Samsung will consider adding it as well, with an option for users to turn it on or off depending on their preference.
