Loving my new S26 Ultra
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Tauras
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 Ultra has been such a solid upgrade. The screen is incredibly bright, so I never have any trouble seeing it even when I’m outside in direct sunlight. It’s also super fast—everything feels smooth and snappy, whether I’m jumping between a bunch of apps or playing games, and it never seems to lag or slow down on me.
I’m really impressed with the new Galaxy AI features; the live translation and photo editing tools actually feel useful and not just like a gimmick. My only real disappointment is that the battery is the exact same size as my old phone, so I was hoping for a bit more longevity there. That said, the new privacy display is genius because I can set it to only hide my screen when I’m in specific apps like my bank, while keeping it normal for everything else.

Good fun & nice upgrade from s24+

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the lightweight feel of the product, definitely lighter than my previous Samsung. I missed the S.pen which is one reason I purchased this. I tend to edit video/photos so the screen size is a plus, also the various galaxy AI apoz are worth exploring can help in some areas. I also love the exclusive color of the phone direct from Samsung!

The privacy display is a really cool feature
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Ahkrah
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just finished getting my new phone. Set up and already having the built-in privacy display is nice because I had to take it to work with me today and I kept having people trying to look at my screen as I was trying to figure out something for work
And the using Galaxy AI for notifications has been really nice

S26 Ultra, King of privacy glass!!
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: SDOTKERLIN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 Ultra does not disappoint!! I'm extremely happy about the privacy display, it works really well! Especially in situations where you need to be discreet, like the airport or subway! As a hobby photographer, my favorite thing about this phone has to be the new camera sensor hardware! Anchored by a 200MP main sensor with a wider aperture (47% more light) and a 50MP 5x telephoto lens with a faster aperture. With this, night photography has been taken to a whole different level! A lot less noise and less sky banding in your photos! Such a wonderful improvement! Battery life has been amazing as has the faster charging! Lots of new galaxy Ai features as well. New creative ways to create artistic looking wallpapers among lots of other features such as photo assist and creative studio! Makes editing fun, easier and a lot less time consuming! To cap it off it is their thinnest and lightest S series "Ultra" phone to date! Sooo what are you waiting for!!?

The Galaxy AI features are a total game-changer for staying organized and getting things done faster.
