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.

Minimal Updates
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: Pratik1794
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While the privacy screen is good option, the specs dont justify an update over the galaxy S25 Ultra, whould wait for the next series to upgrade
The AI feature is great where you can search from any screen is definetely a bonus, making it so much easier to search, great AI advancement use Bixby and Gemini

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI took a huge step forward and I enjoyed the use of it. I use the Samsung ecosystem and have the Galaxy book 5 pro, and the tab s11. I use everything together for learning AI and the user of AI for app development

a superb device
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: 1Kuser
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the S24 Ultra to the S26 Ultra, and I could definitely feel the light weight.
Also, the privacy display function is definitely an excellent feature.
The grip of the phone has also improved significantly.
The camera, equipped with a bright lens, delivers significantly superior results. The gimbal functionality during video recording id highly impressive.
