23 ultra to 26 ultra
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Happycustomer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been excited to update my phone and when the 26 came out and it was time. The features are wonderful and very similar to the 23 Ultra. I only wish you didn't have to turn on the quote unquote extra information and labs and features. I love that there is the opportunity to use perplexity as your browser and as your Bixby substitute.
The camera lenses are larger but I don't notice any difference between the 23 and the 26th as far as camera quality and picture quality goes.

Amazing Device
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: GalaxyUser
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Uprading from S21+, this is a huge jump for me and I have only positive things to say about the device. The cameras are excellent, the zoom, the video, pro features are all excellent for an avid photographer. The display is as usual, which is top class from Samsung add with that the privacy display feature which I find useful for certain applications.
The Galaxy AI features are also fun to use and in some cases quite useful in day to day life. This thing is also super snappy, I have experienced no lag and it handles high graphic games without a sweat. The battery life on standy is great thanks to the new chip, I am comfortably getting by my day with heavy use. Overall a solid device.

Ultra Upgrade, S26 Just Hits Different
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: CyberTechGuy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgrading from the S23 Ultra to the S26 Ultra feels like a true leap forward, not just an incremental update. The first thing you notice is how much lighter it is. It’s immediately more comfortable to hold, especially during long use, which surprised me with this phone not having the curved edge. Samsung really nailed the balance between premium build and everyday usability.
The display is another standout. It feels incredibly durable while still being ultra-responsive. Scrolling, gaming, and even simple navigation feel smoother and more precise, like the phone is always one step ahead of you. It’s one of those upgrades you don’t realize you needed until you experience it. There's absolutely zero input lag.
And the camera is honestly on another level. The clarity, detail, and color accuracy are unreal, whether you’re shooting in daylight or low light. It turns everyday moments into something that looks professionally captured. You even lose the super grainy or blurry results from zooming in to capture your far away shots.
Overall, the S26 Ultra doesn’t just improve on the S23 Ultra—it refines nearly every part of the experience in a way that feels meaningful day-to-day.

The near perfect standard Android device
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Orly819
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I could immediately tell that it's running the top of the line chipset, as everything is smooth and the battery is much better than my last Galaxy phone... I could also tell that's it's slightly thinner and lighter and don't even get me started on the privacy display... it's genuinely a really cool new technology that I hope evolves and becomes a standard. Galaxy AI is cool as well, and better than ever.

Loved this Agentic ai phone
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Pvnkmr
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This new phone is absolutely stunning, the display is so vibrant and smooth, making everything look incredible. The camera system is a total game-changer, capturing unbelievably sharp and detailed photos, even in tricky lighting. Battery life is also a huge plus; it easily gets me through a full day and then some. Plus, the performance is lightning fast, handling all my apps and games without a hitch. Honestly, it's been a fantastic upgrade and I'm really enjoying using it.

So far it is great
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: aowride
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far it is great! I am not super tech savvy. I had the S24 Ultra and wasn't sure if would like this model. I love the Galaxy AI feature for my photos. That is a big reason for buying this phone. The privacy screen is very helpful for me since I ride with passengers often. I got it in rose gold and so far i have no regrets
