Overall solid upgrade, with some drawbacks
on March 16, 2026
Posted by: spence
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded from a S23 Ultra to the S26 Ultra due to the special trade-in offer, and while there are some great improvements, I have some mixed feelings.
I really like the new rounded edges and design language of the S26, although, the even larger camera bump is slightly annoying when the phone is on a desk. The faster charging is a long overdue step forward for Samsung, which was the main reason I upgraded. General battery life, gaming performance, cameras, and overall look & feel is on point.
However, the display is a disappointment. It isn't nearly as sharp or bright as my old S23 Ultra, likely because of the new privacy display. While the idea is cool, it feels like a gimmick, especially in low light. I also find the heavily marketed Galaxy AI features to be useless in daily practice, and I really think it's a bunch of marketing fluff. The term "agentic" is not at all reflective of the experience, and I don't think anybody (except maybe tech executives) wants AI slopware to eat into battery life.
It's a solid phone for the daily use, as the build and charging is quite good, but the screen sharpness and AI bloatware keeps it from being perfect. I'm not sure the MSRP makes sense from a value proposition, especially compared to a previous year S25U.

A Premium Powerhouse with Refined Elegance.
on March 16, 2026
Posted by: Flaco1
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Plus delivers a significant leap in computational power. The display remains sleek, featuring a durable frame and a vibrant Dynamic AMOLED screen. The processing power under the hood is formidable, and the battery longevity is a standout. The camera continues to be impressive and remains a benchmark for mobile phones.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sleek and powerful, love the blue screen and great features.
The camera is great and combined with the Samsung AI makes it fun applying the enhancements.

Nice upgrade from S23 ultra
on March 16, 2026
Posted by: pjammies
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this new phone. Easy to setup, easy to use and easy to see what's on the screen by older eyes. I'm experimenting nearly everyday - learning something new about the phone and the new Galaxy AI. Have appreciated at least 1 new integration with Gallery as that's one of my many uses for my phone. I feel a bit more comfortable knowing data remains on my phone unless I approve when using the AI features as well, as I often use it as a personal assistant throughout my day.
