Pretty good upgrade so far
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: Not2basic
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had a Samsung phone now for years, I have also been an Ultra fan since they came out. I was never one who felt the need for a privacy screen until recently. As I was about to change my phone case and add a privacy screen to the phone, Samsung comes out with a built-in privacy screen. Problem solved. Since my birthday was coming up, I decided to buy a new phone. The cameras seem to be the same but I haven't really explored the phone just yet so I'll keep you posted once I do...

Smooth operating system

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] AI is top notch on this device, everything is smooth and the features are to much. My last device was an S25 and I did not think there was going to be to much of a difference, I was wrong. A+++++++

Massive Upgrade with Powerful AI and Performance
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: Leeroy8
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgrading from the S22 series to the S26 Ultra has been a significant step forward in every category. The overall performance is noticeably faster and smoother thanks to the ultra fast processor, and the increased RAM on the 1TB model makes multitasking effortless. Apps launch instantly, switching between tasks is seamless, and demanding workloads like gaming or video editing run without slowdown.
One of the standout features is Galaxy AI, which genuinely improves how I use the device day to day. From smarter search and real-time assistance to enhanced photo editing, it adds practical value rather than feeling like a gimmick. It helps streamline productivity and makes everyday tasks quicker and more intuitive.
The camera system is another major highlight. The zoom capabilities are incredibly sharp and usable even at long distances, making it easy to capture detailed shots that simply were not possible on my previous device. Low-light performance and image processing are also noticeably improved, producing clearer and more balanced photos.
Battery life has been excellent. I can comfortably get through a full day of heavy use without worrying about charging, and it holds up well even with streaming, gaming, and multitasking throughout the day.
Overall, the S26 Ultra feels like a true flagship upgrade. Between the performance boost, advanced Galaxy AI features, exceptional camera zoom, and long-lasting battery, it delivers a coomplete refined experience that clearly surpasses.

Great update from an S22 Ultra
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: GalaxyFan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from an S6, then Note9, then S22 Ultra, This is a fantastic device, the next step in a great line of phones.
Being in technology, my phone is indispensable to my daily routine, going far beyond just communicating and web browsing. Up to now, I've been skeptical of AI, but Galaxy AI is showing signs that AI may be coming into it's own.
I look forward to many years with this new device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this phone since March 9th and I've got to say that I love it so far I really like the privacy display that's built in and I've also been using the Galaxy Ai features and they work really good I've been using them specially to edit photos and being able to use my phone to upscale or add elements from other pictures is really cool

Top of the Line

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] New Galaxy AI for photos is a game changer. This is essentially a supercomputer in your pocket. If you want the best of the best then this is it. Crapple can't come close. Super easy to set up. Especially if you're going from another Samsung product. It has the s pen still. It's a little different but it works great. You can even live translate with your Galaxy buds. Just select the language and the way you go.

Awesome New Features
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: smartskeptic
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This year the focus is on the screen and Galaxy AI! The new privacy screen is especially useful when banking in a crowded area or when you are sending text and don't want others to see it. Galaxy AI got new useful features like screening your calls especially with so many scam callers. Youtube sound filtering is also great for when you are watching videos with lots of background noise and it can filter it out.
