Great phone with amazing privacy features
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: GalaxyFanJ92
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m really happy with this Samsung phone. It looks great, feels premium, and works very smoothly every day. I use it for work, watching videos, browsing, and staying connected, and it has been fast and reliable for everything I need.
One of the things I like the most is Galaxy AI. It makes the phone feel more advanced and helpful in everyday use. I’m also really impressed with the new privacy features. They make me feel more secure and comfortable when using my phone for personal things, and that gives me a lot of confidence.
The screen is beautiful, the performance is excellent, and the overall experience has been amazing. Samsung really did a great job with this device. I’m honestly very satisfied and enjoying it a lot.

Amazing phone with one wish
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: UltraSatisfies
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is amazing. The display, camera, processing speed, smoothness and Galaxy AI are all top notch.
Almost all everyday uses are perfect.
I only wish the face recognition was better. However, the fingerprint reader is so fast that it doesn't bother me at all.

So far so good
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: LeeLee
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far I'm loving this phone. I just upgraded and this one is a bigger screen size, battery life so far is great. I love the stylus pen and the fact that you can put notes on your lock screen to remind you to do something,that's very helpful for me. I love the privacy screen has 2 options I can sorta black it out or I can really black it out that's really awesome too. In all this phone is great and I'm loving it.

I love the new Privacy Display and AI Features
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Sacred
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not gonna lie, jumping from the S23 Ultra to the S26 Ultra, I see a significant improvement in battery life, Galaxy AI features, Power of the device, and Gaming. My S23 Ultra could already handle certain apps flawlessly, but the S26 Ultra does it with relative ease. Paired up with my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic and my Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, I'm getting the most I can, so far, with my devices. Device switching is easy and everything sounds so clear. Calling has never felt better because instead of holding my phone up to my ear and trying to listen from speakerphone, I can have my Buds in talk normally without the hassle. Now to my phone. I love the display and I love that the refresh rate creates smoother transitions. Colors pop more, and when running certain apps, Privacy Display mode comes on. I feel more secure about my phone and it puts me at ease. The Galaxy AI is vastly improved, as well. I've used Circle to Search for finding multiple objects and I love it. I feel like my phone does a lot more now that I had to manually adjust on my own. I recently changed shifts at my job and it would take me a minute or two to change my alarm clocks. This time, all I had to do was tell Galaxy AI to do it for me and it handled it like a breeze. I love my new Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Light upgrade from S23 Ultra, missing a few things
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: teedog
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My S23 Ultra served me quite well, but started to show signs of aging. The S26 Ultra is a nice upgrade, but I have found a few things from my S23 that I am missing:
-10x optical zoom (even though the picture quality on the S26 is amazing, it can't get that zoom quality the S23 had)
-Brighter screen. I understand that the S26 has the new privacy mode, however found the S23 screen to be more vibrant
-SPen Bluetooth. I miss the ability to use air gestures

-SPen Bluetooth. I miss the ability to use air gestures
Overall the S26 Ultra is an amazing and light device. Glad I did the upgrade and the responsiveness is quite snappy. It's still too new in my hands to speak to any of the Galaxy AI capabilities. I have not used the MagSafe feature yet either. The transfer was a breeze using the SmartSwitch capability. Everything just worked! Looking forward to the same rock solid performance of the S23 Ultra. Hope that the lighter weight (feels way lighter than the few grams difference it really is) does not mean cheaper build. Thanks Samsung!

The S26 Ultra has the BEST Galaxy AI around.
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Sweetpea352
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my S26 Ultra mostly for Social Media and Photography. With Photography the Galaxy AI truly helps. The camera is absolutely phenomenal as is but you throw the Galaxy AI in with it and BOOM. Can make even the newest photographer look like they are a pro. The privacy display that can be turned on and off or even just for certain apps is amazing.. Huge round of applause for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.
