[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tested my Samsung s26 ultra and got stunned with the new privacy display and also the Galaxy AI features loaded with it. The customization is limitless. Still exploring new new things.

Galaxy Game Changer
on March 16, 2026
Posted by: Sarahzar
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm honestly obsessed with the Samsung S26 Ultra! My favorite part has to be the camera quality. It's a total game changer not having to lug around a separate camera to get professional looking shots. I've also been messing around with the Galaxy AI features lately and have been having a blast creating and enhancing images. I'm looking forward to exploring more advanced and automated productivity features. My Samsung ecosystem just keeps growing and I'm really hyped to add the Galaxy S26 Ultra to the family!

Win Some, Lose Some.
on March 16, 2026
Posted by: Luce
Pros: Improved camera and new camera features like Super Steady and Horizontal Lock. Better performance, privacy screen, and AI nudge. Better physical build too.
Cons: They took away Samsung messages. Google messages has no organization to it and zero aesthetic appeal, so be prepared to have to deal with every spam text and verification code going straight to your main chat category. Lastly, they make you have to use their keyboard for the nudge features. This wouldn't be a problem if their keyboard weren't absolutely horrible at autocorrect. It won't do it in most apps, and sometimes it autocorrects to nonsense. It rarely functions correctly. Additionally, they removed the BLE S Pen, so the new version is a downgrade that can't control media playback or be used as a capture button.
Overall, it's kind of a trade-off for features they haven't actually ironed out yet (compared to the S24 Ultra).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The New Ultra 26 Feels Powerful. It's the Future

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI marks the moment the future truly arrives. With phenomenal intelligence and flawless design, every detail, from its feel to its effortless responsiveness, makes it irresistible. Acting as a seamless personal assistant, it anticipates your needs, simplifies your day, and redefines what’s possible with a smartphone. Samsung isn’t just innovating; it’s shaping what comes next.

Posted by: Shadowrocks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The s26 is a nice phone. It is lighter than the s24. It's nice that it has the galaxy Ai. The pictures look nice and crisp. It is a great phone that I use for social media and for taking pictures and videos.
