Can't wait to explore the new features.
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: Katiedid
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just got my new Samung Galaxy S26 Ultra and can't wait to explore all the new features (especially AI). I upgraded from the S23 Ultra ( which I loved and was sad to give up). Right off the bat, this model seems lighter and easy to grip. The privacy block is a cool and useful tool as well as the adaptive dimming feature. It makes it easy on the eyes when using in the dark. Pictures are sharp and clear and love the little tutorial pop ups I have been seeing. Glad this still has the stylus to take notes and is still in a convenient place. I am looking forward to using all of the new additions on this phone. AI feature is a must have. Pairs easily with other devices. Have the Samsung watch and buds which I can't live without. S23 Ultra is another homerun from Samsung.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Feels like the s24 ultra that I traded it for, I like the privacy screen feature, however the animation controls are too general and I'd like to tweak it slightly but the new option is on or off, otherwise a great device.

Built in on/off Privacy screen!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to look for cases with built in screens that would turn on and off when i needed it, but could never find it. and then as if Samsung hears me, they come out with the built in privacy screen. it is private when you need it, and then full Brightness and viewing angles when you don't. i love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm absolutely blown away by the new device! The camera capabilities are simply phenomenal, capturing moments with incredible detail and clarity. The performance is incredibly snappy, making multitasking an absolute breeze. I'm also really impressed with the battery life, which easily gets me through the entire day and then some. This is definitely a fantastic upgrade and a joy to use.

A perfect upgrade

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always had a samsung galaxy device and have always been impressed. The S26 Ultra was nothing short of that. It's fast and sleek. I especially love the new video features, and the privacy screen feature. It also automatically comes with galaxy AI. Going from a S23 Ultra to a S26 Ultra was the move!

The battery life sucks, like really bad! The privacy screen option isn't as good as the actual screen protector. It's also very heavy, but if you like heavy phones, then it'll be good for you. The camera is great and some other cool features. I honestly liked my 25 ultra better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
