Another awesome phone
on May 21, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a samsung galaxy user for a long time. I have always has a Note/Ultra due to the size of my hands.
I am always amazes at the quality of the camera that are equipped in the device. The clarity thay produce has allowed me to do client photos without the use of an SLR camera. An the use of galaxy Ai to help identify obscure items on a jobsite has been indispensable.
The translation features have helped me in business meetings when the there may not br a human translator present or when catching up with an acquaintance who has rough time translating certain words. But be careful as some languages translate better than others.
The main reason that I upgraded to the S26 ultra is for the new privacy features. I travel alot and I hate privacy films that make it difficult for mr to use my screen.

Galaxy S26 Ultra... Great phone!
on May 21, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Galaxy S26 Ultra for a while now, and overall I’m satisfied with it. It feels very similar to the S25, so if you already have that model, there might not be a huge reason to upgrade—though the new privacy display is a nice touch.
The build quality is excellent, and the battery lasts even longer than the S25, which is a pleasant surprise. Photos and videos are still top-notch, and the new Galaxy AI features really stand out, especially when editing pictures—it makes enhancing and customizing shots much easier and more intuitive.
For anyone coming from the S24 or older models, the S26 Ultra is definitely worth considering. My only small gripe is that I miss the Bluetooth pen connection from the S24 for taking pictures—it was a convenient feature that’s not available here.
All in all, it’s a solid, premium phone that delivers what you’d expect, with thoughtful improvements and some smart Galaxy AI enhancements that make using it more enjoyable.

The Ultimate Powerhouse Phone
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Pnatic
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just upgraded to the S26 Ultra and it's easily the best phone I've owned. The new Privacy Display is a game-changer for when I'm out in public, and the phone feels much lighter and more comfortable in my hand compared to the older models. The performance is super fast, and the battery life has been holding up great all day. If you're on the fence, definitely go for it!

My S 26 Ultra
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Mistery2C
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I switched from an I Phone, I researched for a new phone for a long time. My phone service was offering a nice deal. I tried the deal and I am so glad I did. The Samsung S 26 Ultra offers alot as far as accessories and options. I love the privacy screen option also the easy set up. The phone is very fast and no lagging at all. I am very satisfied with my phone! I also received a watch and tablet and I am happy with all of it! It does cost a lot to have an I phone and I am loving my Samsung, it does just as much as my old phone if not more! Great job on this Phone,

This mobile has great features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The device has the AI feature and Bixby if you like those. I haven't done alot with them yet. I use my phone for calls, texts, gaming, sometimes tv, and taking pictures. I'm still exploring my S26, but like everything about it so far. I want to try more of the creative features with the pictures and pen.

Cam's amazing. Screens amazing. Brightness ehh
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: vileflower
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really loved the phone. I had the as 25 old trip before this and I think it's a major upgrade, the 65 watt charging charges my phone faster than I thought imaginable. The screen looks amazing in comparison, the only downside is the brightness is kind of shot and there's been many of times where it's just not bright enough at all for me. Especially when I'm outside which is a surprise and also a hindrance. Outside of that, though, I really am loving the phone, and I think it was a worthy upgrade. Everything about it from the weight to the feel. It all is amazing, even if it doesn't weigh less, and I don't know if it's the case that I have, but it's all fantastic. If they could get the brightness locked in, even when the privacy setting is on on-sun some apps are not. It needs to be adjusted and the adaptive brightness definitely doesn't work where I'm constantly having to swipe up on the brightness just to get it visible. I heard that they were creating it so that if you're wearing glasses, sunglasses, that it will make it easier to see. But when I'm wearing my sunglasses, I can hardly see anything. If they could fix those things, it would be fantastic all around. And for anyone who says that the camera quality hasn't upgraded their wrong because my shots look fantastic. Bixby is as bad as it has always been and I wish that they can fix that because it's really not of much use at all.

A much improved S24Ultra
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Phranque
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved my S24Galaxy Ultra and felt that the new S26 Ultra was well worth getting. The transition was great, and everything transferred so easily, including Samsung pass. I had a hard time packing my s24 and sending it in for tradein, and I would have loved to keep it as a spare...But the new S26 quickly changed my mind.
I have had Samsung S Ultra phones since my Note 20, and love all the features available. I only wish I could use all of them easily. I love my Galaxy buds and Ai watches, and that completes my phone needs.
S26 is a terrific product, and is so much better than Iphones...
