Love the phone but I hate that I cannot download S

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone is great The AI is wonderful the screen protector that's built in is awesome but I cannot stand the fact that Samsung messages is not even available whatsoever in the store ,you can't download it! You can't use it at all and it's all I've ever used so it's really frustrating. I'm getting used to Google and it's okay but I would way rather have Samsung messages becsuse I just liked it way better the whole setup the way you can put things in files and I just don't like Google. I don't understand why Samsung would not let you use their own app on their own phone It makes no sense to me. Other than that the phone is magnificent! I love it a lot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this new phone so much. I had the S24 Ultra and it used to last 8 hrs when using it a lot, now the S26 Ultra last more than 20 hours!! And the 60W adapter charges the phone in 40 min!
The new features of the video and privacy screen are really good too and there's a lot of things to do with the Galaxy AI included on the device. I'm in love with this new phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Galaxy AI, especially because of the improvements. I mean, I can take pictures at night and using the power Galaxy AI tool to make it as bright as day while still retaining great camera quality.
Galaxy AI also makes typing a lot more easier, helping me make grammatical corrections in real time.
I also love the the Galaxy AI in S26 is proactive and not reactive. Making real time suggesting to possible thing I might need as I text.

I love the privacy fature in the phone, though I've not used it yet, but it feels good to know that I have that feature in my fingertips and can protect my privacy when necessary.
I love how fast and responsive the S26 is, thanks to it's great Spandragon 8 Elite Gen, I can do things faster on my phone, and it doesn't heat up like others.
I do have a bit of reservation about the S26 not having the edge screen, I don't know if it's cause of the privacy feature or it was a necessary change. But the edge screen give the Galaxy S series and extra beauty and make it more interesting to handle, it would have been great to have that in S26, that is why I rated it 4 stars.

This phone is awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is a lot faster than my older galaxy s22 ultra. I just started using Galaxy AI and I'm impressed. I still have a lot to learn with the new Galaxy AI features. I can call someone who speaks a different language and the Galaxy AI converts to my language automatically. If your on the fence deciding whether or not to purchase this phone you should definitely get it.
