AMAZING!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Listen, I didn't think I needed to upgrade from my S23 Ultra, but the S26 Ultra is an absolute BEAST of a phone. Between running delivery apps all day and needing reliable navigation, the improved battery efficiency and that massive, bright 6.9-inch screen are total lifesavers. It easily handles being mounted on the dash of my Suburban without overheating, even with the brightness cranked up.
Whether I'm firing up remote access to my PC to tweak a mix in my home studio, playing high-speed platformers on the go, or messing around with new Al video tools, this phone doesn't skip a beat. The camera setup is also insane-the 20OMP main lens and the new Horizon Lock stabilization are going to be perfect for capturing super smooth, high-quality footage at upcoming shows and festivals.
The new built-in Privacy Display is a great touch when you're writing new bars in public and don't want shoulder surfers snooping. I went with the 1TB model because I previously had the 512GB, and I nearly filled it! 🤣
All in all, the S26 Ultra is expensive, but if you need a phone that can keep up with heavy multitasking, gaming, and content creation, it's totally worth it.

Not Impressed

Posted by: Strubel
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone is ok but not really impressed for the cost. The screen privacy is not good at all being when you put it on full privacy the quality of the display gets terrible not to mention the first privacy setting barely does anything at all.
I feel the S26 Ultra was not worth the upgrade from my S25 Ultra and unfortunately it's already been sent in for trade on this one so I'm stuck with it now.
Al in all I'm Disappointed in the phone.

S26 ultra is Amazing!!
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Penguin1030
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone works amazing!!! The Galaxy AI is great when it comes to replying to clients and editing photos to show my clients a better idea on how their windows or doors will look in their home. It makes my daily routine much easier by using the Ai notes to take down measurements and makes side notes about projects. I also love how well it runs my games and streams movies. I can run Genshin Impact with no problems to complete my dailies.

My biggest surprise...
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Alonzo2019
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my third Samsung phone and every model has progressively been better. But really surprised me was how quickly and accurately the Samsung data transfer worked. Just stunned me, I highly recommend not only Samsung products, but also Samsung applications! Very impressive!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Galaxy S26 for a while now, and it has completely transformed how I handle my daily entertainment and productivity. The display is absolutely stunning, making it my go-to device for streaming 4K content and watching movies on the go. The colors are vibrant, and the brightness makes it easy to enjoy a show even when I’m outdoors.
When it comes to gaming, this phone is a beast. I’ve experienced zero lag even during high-intensity sessions, and the thermal management keeps it cool in my hands. Beyond just raw power, the integration of Galaxy AI has been a total game-changer. I use the AI features daily to summarize long articles for school and work, and the photo editing tools are incredibly intuitive—it’s like having a professional editor in my pocket.
Whether I’m multitasking between apps or just relaxing with a game, the Galaxy S26 handles it all with ease. It truly is the perfect companion for anyone who needs a device that can do it all.
