Phone is a great upgrade
on March 22, 2026
Posted by: Tmoney
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone screen looks much clearer than the s23 ultra and the camera is clearer. Galaxy AI is much more integrated and feels like a part of the phone now. On the S23 Ultra it felt like an afterthought.

Happy I upgraded to S26 Ultra
on March 22, 2026
Posted by: GentryofSanDiego
One week into activating my brand new S26 Ultra with a sense of satisfaction equally as fulfilling as my S23 Ultra I traded in for this S26 Ultra for. I am confident of your brand, the S23 proved it, this S26 ULTRA in a week of use continues my happiness in owning a Samsung.

A Great Upgrade
on March 22, 2026
Posted by: Lena06
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ruled the world with my S22 Ultra for 4 years because there was truly no reason to upgrade as it was such a great phone. I had it all through highschool and absolutely beat the thing up and it still worked as perfectly as when I got it.
But the S26 Ultra has really been a game changer. It's so much smoother and has focus on security and privacy. The privacy screen being a real upgrade and the biggest reason I got the phone. It's something different and flows so great between apps and focus modes.
Overall, I really think it's a meaningful upgrade, it's not just another phone that's a little bit better like the past iterations. 10/10 would recommend.

Big upgrade from S23 ultra.
on March 22, 2026
Posted by: Jumbocar
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from the S23 ultra, the S26 ultra is a much needed power boost. Phone feels much snappier and boots far quicker. The Galaxy AI is as good as it's always been and OneUI 8.5 is very sleek and modern. The one major downside is the Spen. It feels cheaper and the lack of Bluetooth really does suck.

What an upgrade!
on March 22, 2026
Posted by: Sedona2026
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from a S22U this is a wonderful upgrade! I use my S26U everyday. Its really a tool I use through the whole day. The display is clear, crisp and snappy. I love that.
The Galaxy AI is so amazing.
I have been editing my photos with the erase option which has worked perfectly. I can't wait to experiment more with my photos.
This phone also helps me in my personal studies I use it to ask deeper questions, helping to have better understanding of what I'm reading. Having this right in my hand any time is fantastic!
I watch a lot of videos on my phone and they look really nice.
Now for the battery... it does get used up pretty quickly, but to be fair, I'm on my phone ALOT. I have watched videos that say my phone has to learn as I use it so maybe it will get better. It is a trade off with my heavy use, and not such a big deal with the fast charger. But it's something to keep in mind if you use your phone a lot.
Over all I ❤️ MY PHONE! I'm so happy I upgraded.
PS. I have 7yrs of upgrades where my S22U had four. That's a huge bonus!

This is the best phone I've ever had
on March 22, 2026
Posted by: Kkroth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for a few weeks now, and it is easily the best smartphone I have ever owned. The overall experience feels extremely refined, from the premium design and build quality to the remarkable performance.
The performance is outstanding. Everything feels fast, fluid, and responsive no matter what I am doing. Apps open instantly, multitasking is effortless, and the phone handles demanding tasks without any slowdown. Right behind the performance, the camera quality is exceptional. Photos and videos come out incredibly sharp with excellent color and detail, even in challenging lighting conditions.
Battery life has also impressed me a great deal. The phone comfortably lasts through a full day of heavy use, which gives me confidence that it will keep up with whatever I need to do.
I also use the phone extensively for work, messaging, navigation, browsing, and everyday productivity tasks. The display is beautiful and makes reading and viewing content very enjoyable. When it comes time to relax, watching YouTube or streaming movies on this screen is fantastic.
One of the most exciting aspects is Galaxy AI. I have been using many of the Galaxy AI features and I am still discovering new ones. The AI tools make everyday tasks easier and more efficient, whether it is helping with writing, organizing information, or enhancing photos. It genuinely feels like a smart assistant built directly into the phone.
