Good enough
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Larrcom10
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was going to return the phone as I was upgrading from a 24 ultra. I do not like the camera bump. Even with a case it can't sit flat on a table. It's ridiculous. I decided to keep it because I wanted a newer phone. It is all around better but I feel like they are assuming we will just buy anything they put out. It's good but not great.

S26 Ultra: Great Privacy Display & smart Galaxy AI
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Seoljio
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 Ultra has completely streamlined my workday. I use it constantly for work emails and document scanning, but the new Galaxy AI 'Now Nudge' is the real standout—it proactively suggests files I need right when I'm texting. Plus, the Privacy Display is a lifesaver for checking sensitive info while I'm out in public!

Most amazing phone ever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A Flawless Upgrade with Game-Changing AI
Pros:
Built-in Privacy Display Groundbreaking Agentic AI and Call Screening AI-driven ProScaler for gaming Top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 cooling
Review:
I’ve used the S24 Ultra and the S25 Ultra, and while the Galaxy S26 Ultra looks similar at first glance, the functional upgrades and new Galaxy AI tools make it a massive leap forward.
The absolute standout is the new Privacy Display. Spending hours a day on the road with passengers in the back seat, being able to instantly toggle screen visibility so people can't snoop on personal apps is invaluable. The new AI features complement this perfectly. The Call Screening AI is incredibly effective at automatically filtering out spam and robocalls while I'm driving. Even better, the new Agentic AI takes convenience to another level—being able to just ask the phone to autonomously book a ride for me when I'm off the clock, without having to manually tap through the app, is a brilliant time-saver.
Battery life and performance remain phenomenal. The 5,000 mAh capacity easily survives long shifts of running continuous GPS navigation without needing a midday charge. When I'm taking a break from my main PC gaming rig, the new AI-powered ProScaler works wonders. It sharply upscales lower-resolution mobile games, and the new Snapdragon chip handles the heavy lifting flawlessly without turning the phone into a space heater.

Optional Upgrade
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: OberynMartell
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded to the s26 ultra from the s23 ultra and theres many things that are missing. From the bluetooth pen, to charging block no longer included in the box and no battery size improvements.
I got to say this one is the one that finally motivated me to change, the privacy screen feature. Improved battery life, and camera features are great!

Incredible
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: ILoveSamDexGalaxiAI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had Samsung since the S3 and I have tried all the versions and innovations that have been made over time but the GALAXY AI is on another level since it is an extra that gives the phone and how it relates to the day to day, something that is not mentioned but is super useful just like the GALAXY AI is Samsung DEX and Good Look I feel that I have the freedom to make the phone to my liking as much as buttons and colors and use my phone not only as a phone but also as a PC.

Great Camera and Useful Privacy Features
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: KingofCorns
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra has an excellent camera. Photos come out very clear and detailed, even in low light, and the zoom works surprisingly well for distant shots. I also like using Galaxy AI to quickly enhance photos and organize them.
Another feature I appreciate is the privacy options. Privacy mode and security settings make it easy to keep personal apps and files protected. It gives me peace of mind when using the phone for both work and personal tasks.
Overall, the S26 Ultra is powerful, easy to use, and the camera and privacy features really stand out in daily use.
