[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone has a mind of its own. I don't know if One UI 8.5 just wasn't ready or if Galaxy AI is the issue, but this phone has problems. It drops wifi whenever it wants. Android auto drops constantly. I'm always having to restart this phone. I'm a Samsung guy all the way, but this phone doesn't make me happy at all. Also, where did Samsung Messages go? It's not even in the store anymore! Change is supposed to be good. This hasn't been.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The privacy screen is great and very useful, I love the use of AI in the photos and everything we can do with it, the screen is simply great for watching videos and the sound quality seems spectacular to me, the s26 ultra is the best!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone is great and the privacy screen is cool I just wish the S pen has Bluetooth. I do miss my fold already though.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Camera features in this model with the addition of the Galaxy AI are incredible from the lighting in dark places to adjusting and removing unwanted parts.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my device as my primary device for video content creation and i am loving it so far. I waa using the s23 ultra before I upgrading and i am loving how my videos are coming out and the ability for me to be able to edit even AI Pictures in my phone without using a third party app.
All the new upgrades are helping my videos and pictures much more improved.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The battery life on the Galaxy S26 is impressive. Thanks to the seamless integration of Galaxy AI, the device manages power consumption efficiently throughout the day. It’s the perfect balance between high-end performance and long-lasting endurance.
