[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since I received my new Galaxy S26 Ultra, I have been extremely impressed by the quality of the photos and videos.
Accessibility to Galaxy AI makes searching for information, music, materials and contacts super easy.

Great phone
on April 27, 2026
Posted by: NightRavenRise
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for a bit now, and it’s hands down my favorite phone I’ve owned so far.
The camera is the standout. It’s not just “good for a phone”—it’s legitimately impressive. Photos come out sharp, detailed, and consistent whether I’m outside at the lake or just snapping something quick during the day. It’s the kind of camera that makes you actually want to use it instead of carrying something separate.
I also didn’t expect to appreciate the privacy screen as much as I do, but it’s a game changer. Being able to use my phone in public without everyone around me seeing what’s on my screen adds a level of comfort I didn’t realize I was missing.
Performance-wise, it’s smooth and responsive with zero frustration. Everything just works the way it should—no lag, no fighting with it.
The Galaxy AI features are a solid addition too. They’re not gimmicky—they actually help with everyday tasks, whether it’s quick edits, organizing things, or just making the phone feel more intuitive to use. It feels like the phone is working with you instead of making you do all the work.
Bottom line: if you want a phone that delivers across the board—camera, performance, and useful AI features—the S26 Ultra checks every box. For me, it’s an easy win.

Love the color options (purple)!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Cobalt Violet purple and the amazing camera; you really notice how fast and smooth the performance is, and you find Gemini very helpful and like going live with it. For improvements, you wish for better S Pen features for business tasks, the return of expandable storage, easier navigation in your settings, and for Gemini to be more personal, generate images while live, and give more precise product info on live chat.

Galaxy s26 ultra
on April 27, 2026
Posted by: Amost489
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been happy with the phone this far. Takes a nice picture, but I'm not a pro so take that for what you will. Size is still way to big but that's the only way to get a battery that will make it a day sadly. Rarely use the s pen Ai features and Gemini seem OK but I haven't used them a ton. Really silly that it doesn't support of all things the Amazon app now.
