So far so 👍
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Zaptorman
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good. Seems to work well streaming and multitasking. Bluetooth is quite the improvement over the Fold. It connects to my car about a half a block away. Haven't used all the features yet, only had the phone for a few days. Wish they would had made the protective case with the screen protector for this one. I liked the one they had for the S22.

Fantastic phone and upgrade!
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: ItsAHardKnockLifeForUs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Personally I came from the Note20, but I've also had hands on with the most recent phones too. I had it since it released and finally decided to upgrade, and I'm happy that I did. The Ultra 26 is a fantastic phone. The speed on this phone is insane, the AI features are steps above what I thought they would have been, and Bixby upgrade is just wonderful compared to what ut was on the Note20. I was expecting improvements, especially coming from the Note20, but this is leaps above of what I was expecting. The camera quality is excellent. I took a picture of my wife in a dark room with just the TV on, and the image came out as if the lights was on. It's hard to explain, but the picture came out really nice. Also for my gamers, gaming on this phone is great. The phone stays cooler than before because of the newest cooling system and it run games way better than before because of the SnapDragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip. I can keep going, but I'm still learning the phone and discovering new things about it. I know that the Ultra 25 have a lot of these features, but there's features on this phone that the 25 doesn't have, and this phone is much faster. Now do I think you should upgrade? I don't know. That's on you to decide. But I upgraded because it was time and I liked what I was hearing. But to experience it is different from hearing about it. And like I said, there's more to discover on this phone, way more than what was advertised and the 8.5 update is like a kiss to the chef.

Great performance with minor design flaw
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Kimklyleb
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Samsung S26 daily for work and entertainment, and overall it delivers a very smooth experience. The performance is fast and responsive, whether I am multitasking, streaming videos, or playing games. The display is sharp and vibrant, making movies and content look excellent. Galaxy AI features are also useful in everyday tasks, especially for quick edits and productivity.
The battery life comfortably lasts through a full day of regular use, and the camera produces clear, detailed photos in different lighting conditions. It is a reliable device for both work and personal use.
One issue I noticed is that the phone feels slightly wobbly when placed on a flat surface, due to the camera bump design. It does not affect functionality, but it can be a bit inconvenient when typing on a desk without a case.
Overall, the S26 is a strong upgrade with powerful features and a great display, with only a small design drawback.

Best purchase ever!!
on March 19, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI is so helpful especially when dealing with unknown phone numbers. You can have Galaxy AI answer the phone for you to see if it's an important call or if its just spam. The new privacy screen feature is so useful and now I don't have to worry about not being able to see my screen during the day like when I needed privacy screen protectors. The phone itself has so many features that I am still figuring out but in general it has been a great experience so far.

Upgrade from s25 ultra
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Eeeeezy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical about the upgrade because I've seen mixed reviews, especially going from the previous model to the next knowing the upgrades are minimal and seeing complaints online. That being said my expectations were blown out of the water. The screen is noticeably more vivid, sharper and brighter. The camera is also a noticeable upgrade, the s25 ultra camera was already the best camera I've seen on a phone and to see the upload, wide angle, and zoomed in photo quality increase was mind blowing. The battery life seems just about the same as the s25 ultra but no complaints it can last me up to 2 days - day and a half with heavy use. One thing I did notice was the charging is so fast, I was surprised how much of a difference the fast charging felt. The privacy display is really cool, seeing it in real world application is awesome, in store looking at it seemed like a gimmick but being outside, in the car, out in public, at the gym, or ar work its extremely impressive. I also didn't notice the difference in screen quality with it on it still looks amazing. Overall extremely satisfied and love my s26 ultra. The only down said I am able to say about it is just my personal preference but the new design im personally not a fan of the raised camera ledge. The phone feels very premium. But my favorite design is the s24 ultra with the boxy square sleek design. The galaxy Ai integration is also really cool im amazing for seamless and practical it is, I actually use it daily.

This is an excellent phone but with some compromis
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: MarshMallow96
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The AI features and privacy display are amazing. However, I am not extremely impressed with the battery life of this phone so far. I've had it for 8 days now and the battery life has gone down. Camera is amazing as well as screen! However, it does give me some eye strain 😭
