Amazing upgrade for people who have older phones
on March 15, 2026
Posted by: NehemiasYAY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to have a Galaxy S23 Ultra, and I loved it so much, as it was my first Ultra phone, but I've been looking to switch because I was running out of space, and quite frankly it wasn't running the same as it used to. Luckily I bought this new phone just in time for the S26 to come out, and I am enjoying it so much. It feels so much smoother, and it actually feels like an upgrade instead of, "just another phone." Galaxy AI can help with many things as well, as it's there with you at all times to assist you. You can even ask it to control your phone for you if you have your hands full. Ontop of that, the camera is also an upgrade. Many people don't think so, but I do notice that my pictures look more detailed. And pictures are also refined by Galaxy AI. Texting is much easier, as the AI also detects when you're talking about locations or time, and when someone asks about where you are or when an event is, the phone pulls it out from past information. For gaming, I play lighter games, like Roblox and Mario Kart Tour, and they run so smooth thanks to the new generation Snapdragon CPU made specifically for the phone. I also got the Buds 4 Pro, it compliments the phone so well. All in all, if you're still on the fence about getting the phone, don't be. It's really easy to switch by usint Smart Switch, transferring all your photos and app data. It's also very modern and can do everything any phone can do and more! My model is a S26 Ultra 1TB Cobalt Violet. The color is super nice!

Samsung s26 ultra is Amazing
on March 15, 2026
Posted by: MoeTech
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Galaxy S26 Ultra every day for work, photos, streaming, and staying organized, and it has been an excellent phone. The display is bright and sharp, the battery lasts through my day, and the performance is smooth and fast. The camera takes clear, detailed photos, even in different lighting conditions. One of my favorite parts is Galaxy Al because it helps make everyday tasks quicker and easier, especially when searching, editing, and staying productive on the go. Overall, the Galaxy S26 Ultra feels premium, reliable, and packed with useful features. It has definitely been one of the best Samsung phones I've used.

Good phone but not worth upgrading from s24 ultra
on March 15, 2026
Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone is nice but not much different than my s24 ultra. The S24 ultra had a sturdier titanium build, a Bluetooth S pen and surprisingly a better display. The color looks less vibrant than the s24 ultra. The S24 ultra had this color issue when it came out and Samsung fixed it with an update. They need to do the same with the S26 ultra. The camera is more or less the same. And the camera bump makes it that with a case laying in its back it wobbles as opposed to the s24 ultra with the case on it I can lay it flat on its back. The privacy display does hide that much when it is on and when you put it on maximum it makes the screen look grey when looking straight at it. The Galaxy AI features are more or less the same as well. Overall Im disappointed. I give the phone 3 stars because it is a good phone but compared to the s24 ultra its not with the money foe the upgrade. It feels like more of a downgrade. Wait for the next one.

The new Galaxy s26 ultra
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Bigsky406
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have had the new s26 ultra for about 5 days now and so far im very impressed .Feels good in your hand not too big not too small super easy setup easy to navigate and so far the new Galaxy AI is like none other on the market. The things you can do with photo editing is amazing with just a simple command. What I've used it for the most so far is probably the summarizing rather than having to read a whole page it puts together a summary for me of the highlights and the important things then reads it out loud which is way cool and helpful. It can translate calls and texts in real time on demand. It's literally like having a secretary/ personal assistant in your pocket 24/7 and that's just scratching the surface of what this thing can do like I said I've only had it 5 days can't wait to get more efficient with it. Very happy with my purchase . A++

I love the new features on the s26 ultra
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: NightRyder06
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use Galaxy AI to give me a brief in the morning before I go to work, and throughout my day as a mechanic. It also helps me with looking up items and so forth. I also use the spelling and grammar check feature quite a bit as well.
