A real upgrade with useful AI features
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: chandler
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the S23+ to the S26 Ultra, and this actually feels like a meaningful upgrade, not just a routine yearly refresh.
The display is the first thing I noticed. It’s bigger, sharper, and much more comfortable for long use. I spend a lot of time on my phone for both work and daily use, and the screen really makes a difference.
Performance is fast and smooth. Everything runs effortlessly, and multitasking has been very reliable so far.
Battery life easily gets me through a full day, which is important for me since I’m often on the go.
The camera is solid as expected — sharp images, good colors, and consistent results in different lighting.
One thing I didn’t expect to use as much is the AI features. Some of them actually feel practical, not just gimmicks. Things like photo editing, suggestions, and smart assistance help save time in everyday use. It’s not something you rely on constantly, but when you use it, it’s genuinely helpful.
If I had to mention one downside, the overall design hasn’t changed much from previous Ultra models. But since the design was already strong, it’s not a deal breaker.
Overall, this feels like a polished upgrade with real improvements in display, performance, and now AI features that are actually useful.

Loaded with all new features
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Bwulforst
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new features offered by Galaxy AI on the Galaxy S 26 Ultra are a game changer for me as a small business owner. From the generative photo features to the new ai document scanner it makes it so easy to edit on the fly and scan receipts and documents instantly digitizing them. My favorite so far is the Smart Ai assistant that helps by screening calls when they come in and using the smart ai features to help cut down on telemarketers and spam. I'm coming from a s22 ultra and the sheer quantity of spam calls I no longer receive have easily been cut down from twenty to MAYBE 2 a day. So now I'm no longer wasting time answering scam and spam and now getting to clients that help us grow. The time spent dealing with spam can now be allocated to legitimate work and progress. The cameras are great they are clear and the motion smoothing for video is great, taking photos and videos especially with the new horizon lock feature make content creation super easy now. It's been about a month with the phone and I'm still learning about new features everyday. If your coming from an older Samsung Galaxy S Series this might be the time to upgrade.

New phone great new features
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: Bwulforst
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is an absolute masterpiece and undeniably the king of smartphones. Everything about this device feels like a leap into the future. Coming from a 22 ultra the 26 ultra packed with new AI features has been a monsterous game changer for my small business and I. From the simplest feature of the ai assistant being able to screen calls prior to answering to the ai spam blocker the amount of calls I have received from scammers has been cut in half easily. By getting less spam calls I'm spending less time now answering calls and can get more work done, not only am I more productive but now I'm making more $$$ and this phone has already almost paid itself off already. Between the fantastic cameras for content creation and generative ai built in to the phone it's a powerhouse for small business owners and content creation. If your on the fence pull the trigger

The Samsung family is the best of the best.
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: JDAVID
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been part of the Samsung family since the very beginning, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Samsung has truly changed my life, providing the tools I need to grow both personally and professionally. As the owner of my company, Dimensions LLC, my Samsung device is my most essential work tool.
Thanks to Galaxy AI, I have taken my business to a whole new level. The real-time translation and language features have been a game-changer for me, allowing me to communicate fluently and professionally with clients and vendors. This has removed communication barriers and given me the confidence I need every day.
Additionally, the AI helps me organize the logistics for my professional audio and lighting equipment, as well as my specialized welding projects. I use my device for everything: from managing my business and drafting important documents to streaming and daily productivity. Samsung’s innovation is constant and fits perfectly with the demands of my life. It’s not just technology; it’s the motor that helps me improve every day. Loyal to Samsung forever!

Posted by: Mmlove
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The AI Camara is amazing, the zoom is insane. Definitely an update from the s25 ultra..
The gaming system is great, and the battery is long lasting. Imagine playing games for hours, phone doesn't overheat and does not run slow.

S26 Ultra On Point
on May 21, 2026
Posted by: InnoWorxs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 Ultra continues the trend of responsive performance set by the S23 Ultra. The S26 ups the game with increased performance and AI enhanced features. An autofocused night time moon shot displayed clear image of the craters. The AI call assist which allows users to screen before answering with text to speech is a game changer. Realtime AI powered translation is another game changer highly used during overseas travel.
Fully integrated Google Gemini assistant while infight is another great coupled with Google Antigravity. Condicted Business planning, system analysis and design all using S26 Ultra while infight with WiFi. The connected device capability allowed sharing with Mac Book Pro running Antigravity and Codex for coding.
