[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using my new Samsung device for everything lately; from streaming movies during my commute to staying organized with work and school projects. One of the things I love most is how light the phone is; it’s so comfortable to hold for long periods without any hand fatigue. The Galaxy AI features have also been a total game-changer for my daily routine, especially for quickly summarizing notes and enhancing my photos. It really makes the whole experience feel next-level!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I switched back to the ultra this year just because of the new snap dragon chip and the new features. I'm amazed. It's basically a mini PC in my hands. Keep up the fabulous work.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I went from the S24 ultra, I really liked that phone, but I wanted to try the new camera setup. I have an online store and I take a lot of micro pictures. This setup is more clear and I like the colors better. The screen colors are also much better. I was worried about it being slightly bigger than the 24, but I find it feeling smaller with the rounded edges and lighter weight. I am still learning about all the AI features, remaking my photos, and have the AI screen my calls are my first choice. The transfer from my old phone seemed easier. This might be the one I keep longer than 2 years, I will have to see how it holds up.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra has an excellent camera. Photos come out very clear and detailed, even in low light, and the zoom works surprisingly well for distant shots. I also like using Galaxy AI to quickly enhance photos and organize them.
Another feature I appreciate is the privacy options. Privacy mode and security settings make it easy to keep personal apps and files protected. It gives me peace of mind when using the phone for both work and personal tasks.
Overall, the S26 Ultra is powerful, easy to use, and the camera and privacy features really stand out in daily use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just upgraded from the Samsung 24 to the Samsung 26 ultra and so far its beautiful everything transfers over super fast and easy . The "galaxy al" is super helpful with my pictures and internet so far . The battery life is wonderful so far only have to charge it every other day .
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been holding out replacing my Galaxy S22 Ultra, waiting for a phone worthy of upgrading. I am glad I did. I could not be happier with camera, the speed, look and feel, and of course the Galaxy AI! Thank you, can't wait to see what's next.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did not expect the minute difference in width would make a big difference. Boy does it. Everything just works better. The videos fit better. Emails fit better. It makes me feel more productive and I'm not sure why. Camera is much better also. I can't put this thing down. Thank you Samsung.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Three days in with the S26 Ultra and I’m impressed… mostly. The screen is ridiculous (in a good way), the speakers are loud, and the cameras are fun to play with. Galaxy AI has been surprisingly handy—especially the photo editing tools and the text assist stuff.
But yeah, it’s not flawless. The phone is heavier than I expected, and the curved edges still make it a bit slippery. The camera sometimes struggles in low indoor lighting, and the phone warms up when pushing it with games or long camera sessions. Also, some AI features feel like they need a couple more updates to really shine.
Still, it’s a beast of a phone and feels super premium. Just not a perfect one.
