Excellent phone
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: CMinus92
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how much lighter and pocket friendly is now. The privacy screen is great. Galaxy AI is cool. You can do a lot with it; my favorite being translations and removing objects from photos. I love to stream Netflix and YouTube on it. The phone feels so fast coming from the S24U. It also stays a lot cooler while I play mobile games. All in all, it's a winner. Definitely worth a try if you're on the fence about getting it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to say this is the best phone I've used so far. The galaxy AI feature has been pretty helpful. Still learning the ins and outs of it though.

Function Meets Style
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: Mercenarycoma
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After sitting on the S23 Ultra for a long while, upgrading to the S26 Ultra felt right. The initial setup was extremely simple and with Galaxy Ai and all the updated smart components, the phone was ready to go in an extremely short amount of time. The phone itself moves quickly when using it. No slow downs or hiccups, it processes everything I need efficiently and can juggle tasks with ease, especially with the AI assistant. The AI is completely optional but I choose to give it a go and see what it was capable of and it did not disappoint. It works well with other AI as well such as your Google Ai and Home products.
The style of the phone is a welcomed return to "fuller" phone. While the edged screens were nice in older models, the grip was the biggest downfall and how sensitive the screen was to any drops, even with a case and screen protector. This new phone feels solid! Not bulky, still a slimmedndown design but not like I could drop it just by reaching for my pocket.
The camera is excellent! The upgrades here are better then ever and no matter what angle, lighting, weather or distance, shots come out incredible. The Galaxy AI helps out here as well and can be turned on to help you get the perfect shot. The new added feature of the rotating camera is super cool. Lock on to you subject and the camera can be turned upside down without losing focus and orientation.
The overall display with the screen is excellent. Games looks great and text is super clear. Overall, 10/10

Blazing Fast
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: Speedfreak
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything about this phone is much quicker and snappier than my old S23 Ultra. Apps open faster. camera is faster. games are smoother. scrolling is smoother. Charging is faster. Fingerprint reader is faster. NFC payments are faster. Wi-Fi is faster. 5G is faster and is more usable in places with spotty coverage.
Unfortunately the Spen is now smaller and you can't use it as a remote to control the camera or play/pause media anymore.

A good product, but with its nuances.
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: Alecuba
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I think the new Galaxy AI is incredible; it's one of the best on the market, especially the call assistant, which is very useful. The AI image editing is amazing, the new screen technology is super useful, but I think it has slightly reduced the overall screen quality, i was comparing the new screen with that of the S23+, you can definitely notice the loss of quality, especially in the viewing angles. And let's not even talk about the battery, we've been using the same battery for years, it's useless

Great for busy moms

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The s26 ultra has been like extra hands for me. As a busy working mom, I use my phone for work, school, extra curricular activities, dr appts, and keeping up with my family. The galaxy ai feature has definitely made my life easier. The phone is easy to use. I LOVE all the customization because I made this phone work for my life. I can be hands free and talk to Bixby to do everything for me. Definitely recommended.

S26 ultra phone housing
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: Zayho35
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new housing for the s26 ultra is amazing in your hands. It feels comfortable and can hours editing files on the go. The screen looks great while watching videos. For the gameplay it's pretty to see the amount of work that it went through to get to this point. Controls are easy to get to and won't hurt your hand for a while. So the s26 ultra is definitely my top choice for video and camera capture.

Another great Ultra phone
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: TechManager1974
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the s26 Ultra to update my s22 Ultra. I love the new camera and features. AI is becoming more helpful. This phone is much faster and more powerful than the s22.
I highly recommend the 2s6 Ultra. I have been 100% samsung smart phones since the S5.
