Amazing samsung never fails!
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Bobos777
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are no words to describe the S26 ultra. I've been a longtime fan of the samsung series since the s2 and I have been loyal since, but this s26ultra, it just feels so futuristic beyond its time from Galaxy Ai to the speed of its functions and capabilities and the cameras everything is beyond WOW! I also love the new display I feel it's a higher quality of picture and the privacy options are a plus and definitely is a upgrade from my s24 ultra I also feel like the biometrics have improved and work easier i look forward to enjoying my new s26ultra and to see what samsung has next!

The camera bump is a accident waiting to happen.
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: 2disappointted
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have not had much of a chance to use the S26 Ultra, as the camera bump and trying to find a case that will properly protect it is proving to be elusive.
Making the phone thin is great. But that slight extra thinness creates a bigger problem with the Ultra's huge camera bump.

Fast and smooth software experience
on March 19, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S 26 Ultra is fast, smooth, and powerful. The Galaxy AI call screening feature is new to Galaxy phones and does a good job cutting down on spam calls. I've already used the galaxy AI photo editing to remove unwanted people and objects from my photos. One UI 8.5 is the best system yet

Could be better
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: RGreen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the phone since March 10th, so just over a week. So far, I'm not seeing much difference between the S26 Ultra and the S24 Ultra I traded in. I do feel like the screen resolution was better on the 24. I think it's because of the new privacy screen capabilities. I do not use it, but it does seem to affect the overall quality of the screen resolution.
The only AI feature I have used is the audio eraser. It's great for removing background noise in videos either in your gallery or on YouTube.
Overall, I don't think the S26 Ultra was much of an upgrade from the S24 Ultra I had before. I was hoping the new Samsung phones would have Qi2/magsafe technology built in, but it does not. With a magsafe case, which Samsung does have, Qi2 accessories do work, but I cannot use this technology with any case.

The S26 ultra has been good by far
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: imalphachild
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I traded in my S24 Ultra for the S26 Ultra, and the features did not disappoint. The camera is improved, and the Galaxy AI is awesome. Being able to create and customize your own stickers in Creative Studio is a game-changer for me. The privacy display is also cool, and the battery seems to last longer than I expected. I also like the circular design at the edge.
But I do wish they would bring back the Bluetooth on the S Pen.

Best Phone to date by far
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: MoProblems
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is far superior to any other launch Samsung has had. With Galaxy AI, the battery life and the privacy screen the S26 has taken some tremendous leaps in technology for just a year from the s25 model. I came from and s24 ultra because I felt the S25 was very similar. With the S26 there is no comparison. From the super fast charging to the camera this phone has been upgraded all around. Don't hesitate to upgrade.
