Easy data transfer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the new S26 Ultra, and needed the data transferred from an older phone. Galaxy AI made the transfer efficiently while maintaining many of the settings and organization from the older phone. I was impressed with the experience!!

Why is love my new phone.
on March 17, 2026
Posted by: Olie20
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my S26 Ultra. One nice factor is the speed in processing my commands. Additionally the new AI is really great and seamless. The only issue i have is deleting my messages. The program transfers messages to an archive folder. I read some help and it talks about deleting the archive folder. Not sure how to do that but it seems like an unnecessary step.

S26 ultra have great features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is one of the most impressive phones I’ve used. I’ve been a Samsung user for over 15 years, starting with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 series and now using the Ultra, so I’ve seen how much these devices have improved.
The display is incredibly bright, sharp, and vibrant, making everything look amazing whether you’re indoors or outside. The camera is a standout feature, producing beautiful, detailed photos with rich colors. It’s especially great for action shots like baseball, capturing smooth, high-quality video. I love that you can even apply slow motion after recording, which makes it easy to highlight the best moments.
The privacy screen is another feature I appreciate. I may not use it every day, but it’s perfect when you’re in public and want to keep your screen private.
One thing I do miss is being able to use the stylus as a remote to take pictures. Since the Ultra is a large phone, it can be a bit difficult to press the capture button while holding it, so that feature would have been very useful.
Samsung AI is another great addition. It helps enhance photos automatically, improves video quality, and makes everyday tasks smoother and more efficient without you having to do much.

A new, powerful Galaxy phone that you need!
on March 17, 2026
Posted by: PorterH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra is a powerhouse across the board: it's updated display, camera, processing, and AI capabilities are the fastest and most refined of any smartphone to this day!
The new cameras show great improvement over its predecessors: coming from the S22 Ultra, I still easily see advancements in both hardware and software, enhancing its capabilities in photo and video.
The privacy display is a work of engineering perfection. From a hardware point of view, the display is capable of fully and even partially engaging in a quite impressive privacy mode that utilizes pixels that can be viewed at much more limited angles. The downside, however, is that these pixels are limited, effectively halving your device resolution when being used (note: the device is not meant to be kept in this mode, but it's best to be used when in public or other time-limited situations when it is needed). Furthermore, this new pixel organization to allow the privacy display allows for them to be a bit more visible when viewing from close up (this is mostly only a minor issue to those familiar with previous ultra model iterations that have flawless, high pixel-dense displays). All in all, the privacy display is a marvel of hardware and software advancements that reminds us of Samsung's dedication to nuance and innovation.
The CPU, GPU, and NPU are fast as ever: allowing for quick and seamless use of Galaxy AI, taking photos, gaming, or simply scrolling social media!

26 ultra phone unlocked
on March 17, 2026
Posted by: Ldopey6s1
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Or if all Samsung phones I've had, I find that this phones display is actually clearer and brighter. Like having the display privacy display on the phone to help block people from seeing what your inputting. Smooth animation on going from screen to screen. Easy to use. Even tho the pixels do something funky when you turn on the privacy display, I'm happy that my info is being protected by having the feature on the phone. I also found the cameras to be better. I've had the 24 ultra, and the pictures seem like crap when taking pictures. Going to experiment with all camera features to see which picture is better. Will be doing a lot of experimenting with this phone. I'm sure there is a lot to see and do with it.
