Upgrade from S24 Ultra
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: TTech002
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Weight was an interesting change form the S24 Ultra, not sure on the specs, but in hand it feels notably lighter.
Galaxy AI still preforms great. has been easy to edit out people and objects from pictures.
Smart Switch works good, only thing is the prompt to move phone number over (esim) forces a reboot, and have to start Smart Switch again.

Great Phone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently updated from S22 Ultra to S26 Ultra. I find this to phone be more smooth and games and apps run together without lag. The camera is superb as well. I'm still exploring all the AI features but everything looks very cool with spam call blocks, AI language options, updates to Bixby etc

Love the new Samsung S26 Ultra
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: Nurselife12
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am in love with the new S26 Ultra!
First, just the lighter feel of it is great. As a nurse, my old phone would weigh my scrubs down and it could make caring for a patient difficult at times. With the new Ultra, this is no longer an issue. It fits in my scrubs really well and is not constantly causing me to readjust my scrubs while I'm working.
Second, THE PRIVACY SCREEN!! OMG, I have needed this in my life for so very long! Gone are the days of having to sit sideways to prevent others from being able to see what I'm doing. Love, love, LOVE!!
I've only had my new Ultra for a little over a week, so still learning all the new features, but with the help of "tips" and Galaxy AI, I am loving the new S26 Ultra more and more every day!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The use of Galaxy AI has helped so much with my content creation and the new privacy screen absolutely delivers. I'm really loving how customizable the privacy screen settings are. I switched from an S23 to the 26 Ultra and im just blown away.

This product is fantastic
on March 18, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is a powerhouse that refines the ultra-premium experience with a focus on privacy and performance. The standout feature is the Privacy Display, a hardware-level innovation that obscures your screen from side-angle "shoulder surfers"—perfect for commuting or handling sensitive work.
Under the hood, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 delivers blistering speeds, paired with a massive 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel that remains the gold standard for brightness and clarity. Despite its size, the switch back to a refined aluminum frame makes the phone surprisingly lighter and thinner (7.9mm) than its predecessor, offering better ergonomics for one-handed use.
Key Highlights:
Cameras: The 200MP main sensor and 50MP 5x telephoto lens now feature wider apertures (f/1.4 and f/2.9), significantly boosting low-light performance and "Nightography" video.
Galaxy AI: New "Agentic AI" tools like Now Nudge offer proactive suggestions based on your screen context, while Photo Assist makes complex edits effortless.
Battery & Charging: The 5,000mAh cell easily lasts over a day, now supported by faster 60W wired charging.
While the camera bump is substantial and the Privacy Display slightly narrows viewing angles for intentional sharing, the S26 Ultra remains the best Android flagship for power users and creatives who demand the S Pen and top-tier optics.
Wonderful for work business/family affairs..for this product it's excellent; for day to day projects/tasks etc.
