If they only brought back old features
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: Tiff918
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The battery compared to my previous phone is so much better especially running certain apps that usually drains it so fast, like games and shows that I binge. The galaxy ai doesn't change too much of my normal experience but it does have a hard time predicting what I type. The s-pen, boy i wish they brought back the bluetooth. The s-pen had more use and the reason for it back then. Now its like a fixable stylus. It's like I can use any 3rd party stylus in its place and still get the same thing besides the button. The fingerprint scanner on the screen lacks because it doesn't read as well like when it was on the button or exterior of the phone. The camera being so low that when I want to use anything magnetic (magsafe cases) to pair with things like a portable charger, it has to be round or squared because a regular battery pack is going to block or hit the camera. I also don't like how much the camera is protruding. I cannot lay my phone flat unless I use the screen side.

Awesome phone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra is a great upgrade to the S25 Ultra. It has better battery life, faster UI and awesome AI and camera features. It was more than what I wanted to pay for the 512GB model but it is what it is. Got the Buds 4 pro and they are amazing as well.

S26 ULTRA SURPRISED ME WITH A SMILE
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: HotGeorgia
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have buying Note series since the first Note and I do miss them but this new S26 Ultra still manages to carry the legacy of the Notes! I traded my S24 Ultra and was nicely surprised to see a difference between the 2 phones. This new Galaxy AI technology that is used in these phones is very helpful and it does help when using the different functions of the phone... The camera is indeed improved and I can tell that other features are mich faster and smoother! The new Galaxy AI is definitely made to improve our experiences with these phone so I highly recommend trying the different functions... So far so good so hopefully I will end up liking this phone even more...

Not great - Bloatware Fest
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: Skeptical Customer
The Phone is nice. The bloatware is horrible. Even after you turn it off it keeps coming back. I upgraded from a S22 and it overwrite most of my settings and just took control of my phone. There are slot of things I don't want to use on here (I have my own software preferences) yet I can't turn the Samsung feature off. Dex has gotten clutzy too. It does not work as well as on previous versions of the phone. Time will tell, but I am not sure I am happy with this upgrade.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
