[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are a lot of good things to say about the phone. The battery life (and charging speed), the performance, the improved speakers, etc... But I can't help but to dwell on where it falls short. The display is clearly worse than previous iterations. Not only it's noticeably dimmer (even when privacy display is off), but it looks looks pixelated; I noticed it as soon as I turned on the phone when reading text. The fact that Samsung flagship still doesn't have built in magnets for magsafe is baffling; and they also created a technology (Qi 2.2) that practically blocks all case manufacturers from having a case that allows your phone to reach the advertised 25w magsafe charging speed consistently.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay, real talk fam, I was hesitant on upgrading this year, but after a few weeks with the Galaxy S26 Ultra powered with Galaxy AI, there's no going back. I'm here for it! Sleek; It's thinner and lighter than past Ultras, which matters when you're juggling a work bag, a and a toddler. The new Aluminum frame feels solid without being clunky, and the 6.9-inch screen somehow doesn't feel massive in hand and the screen just feels way bigger than the S25 Ultra A Display: Lots of those nits for brightness (3,000 , I think) and the built-in Privacy Display so nosy friends can't see at doom scrolling at parties. Galaxy AI keeps colors and brightness dialed in automatically, so I never have to think about it. Keeping Up With My Day: Work calls and threads, editing vacation photos, jumping between apps, its process is super faster, I really feel the difference. It’s the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Family Photos : The 200MP camera with a wider F1.4 aperture means better shots and golden hour beach photos all come out incredible. Galaxy AI handles the editing heavy lifting with the fun features of removing photo bombers and cleaning up backgrounds. The stylus is an extra plus as I use it for group photos and I can control when the shot is taken. The Bottom Line: This phone ain’t cheap, but when one device handles my work, my family memories, and my adventures, it absolutely earns its place. If you're on the fence, just go for it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a happy Samsung Galaxy customer for several years. The s26 ultra 1TB his hands down the best phone I've ever owned. The battery life is outstanding and the battery protection ensures its longevity. Galaxy AI integrations make owning a smartphone so much more productive. Upgrading to the 1 TB insured the 16 GB of RAM, verses the 12GB versions. I highly recommend it! Also the buds 4 pro are outstanding!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone and it's features are a great experience. I has used a lot of the galaxy ai features and it has both helped and made me more creative. So far it's been an enjoyable experience. I am still learning all the features available but all I've used so far have been excellent. Looking forward to everything this phone can do.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was neverous that it might be too big of a phone but its perfect. I see everything clearly and the lights are vibrant and the speed is perfect. Ive had many phone from different brands and this is by far the best I've ever held and used. Thank you
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new S26 ultra has been a treat. The s pen works so well to the point you could really become a digital artist by using it. With the new 'galaxy ai' feature, you have the best of all ai's in one place. Also with the health features,(which I didn't know when I bought it) can really help you get diagnosed with something serious while you sleep if you have the watch too. I have only had this phone for a few days but I love it so much. The camera features are so amazing you don't need a flash at night time, it's almost like a professional photographer in your hands. I can not wait to learn more about this phone!
