Total awesomeness !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Yet another great Galaxy S series phone. Sleek, amazing color, super fast and responsive.
Camera takes amazing low light pictures. Privacy screen is a HUGE plus as I use this phone in public with sensitive work documents on it.
Galaxy AI keeps improving and I'm amazing how far it has come in just a short period of find.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new rounded corner making the phone look really nice. The addition of the privacy screen is world changing. No need to worry about people peeping at your personal information.

Two thumbs up

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a surprise from my boyfriend. I'm excited for my upgrade from S21+
It has a great look and feel. I'm learning about the features like privacy that I can't wait to try. I need to watch some videos to learn because there's so much it does.

The greatest phone!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for a few days now and honestly it’s one of the best phones I’ve had. The screen is super sharp and bright, watching YouTube, Netflix, or sports looks really good. The speakers are loud and clear too so movies and streaming feel way better than on my old phone.
For school it’s also really useful. I use it to check assignments, send files, and take quick photos of notes or documents. The camera is crazy good, especially the zoom and night photos. Even when the lighting isn’t great the pictures still come out sharp.
Gaming runs really smooth. I tried a few games and there’s basically no lag, and the big display makes everything look better. The battery also lasts a long time even when I’m using it a lot during the day.
One feature I’ve been using a lot is Galaxy AI. It helps with things like editing photos, summarizing text, and small productivity stuff that actually saves time. It feels like the phone is doing more of the work for you.
Overall the Galaxy S26 Ultra feels super powerful and premium. I use it for streaming, school, photos, and gaming, and it handles everything easily. Definitely a great upgrade if you want a phone that can do pretty much everything.

Great upgrade from the S25!
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Arekusu
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from an already amazing line of phones, the S26 is a very nice upgrade! Gemini AI was already seamlessly integrated into the S25 and this phone aims to keep improving on what is already amazing. In my opinion, Gemini is probably the best AI agent for consumers out there right now and I've tried others before.
The S26 Ultra is noticeably slimmer than it's predecessor which is nice. The most noticeable improvement is how the pen sits when it's holstered. With the S25, it was a little troublesome to take it out. It is much easier to take out on this phone.
I use my phone for gaming, tracking my health, consuming media, and managing my finances. Can't complain. It's fast and everything is very smooth and aesthetic. The new privacy screen function is pretty cool too. New tech is always fun to explore!
I couldn't recommend this enough. I was against upgrading so quickly, but now that I've experienced the phone, I don't regret upgrading!

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is a beast, just the best!!!
on May 21, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra is easily one of the most impressive smartphones Samsung has ever made. What really stands out is how well the Galaxy AI is integrated into the entire experience. Instead of feeling like a gimmick, the Galaxy AI actually improves everyday tasks in a natural way. The phone feels incredibly fast thanks to the powerful processor and upgraded Galaxy AI engine, which helps with everything from smarter photo processing to real-time suggestions and automation. The camera system is outstanding, especially the 200MP sensor combined with Galaxy AI image processing that improves lighting, detail, and low-light shots automatically. Editing photos is also easier with Galaxy AI tools that can remove objects or enhance images in seconds. Another thing I appreciate is how Samsung is focusing on practical features like privacy protection and smarter on-device processing, making the phone both powerful and secure. Overall, the Galaxy S26 Ultra feels like a real step forward in AI-powered smartphones, combining premium hardware with intelligent software that actually makes the device more useful every day.

S22 to the S26
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: IshlovesS26Ultra
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy to be interduced to the Galaxy S series family absolutely phenomenal phone. Had the S22 over little for 4 years and now it was time for an upgrade. THIS upgrade to the S26 absolutely a stunner phone, very light compared to the other Samsung phones and very smooth.
The new feature of the privacy screen mode built into the phone you can't beat that. Not only that but also saves you from keep having to purchase a privacy screen protector. Camera on this new S26 is absolutely fantastic which is also another reason I went for this one. Camera on this phone speaks for itself. If you haven't already I'd highly recommend getting hands on this phone ASAP.
