So Far It's Great
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Dreamer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't had this phone more than two days yet but I love do it. It might be the fact that my old phone is nearly a decade old and some of my apps on my old phone won't even update and/or work.
Galaxy AI is great. I see a lot of potential and look forward to using Galaxy AI to help me everyday.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone as my primary camera for travel. The pictures are stunning. The color and deph of field are unmatched. I love the hands free photography using my voice or my pen. The AI allows me to remove anything I want quickly.

This phone is incredible.
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Starboy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy AI features on this phone are superb. Take your normal photos and edit them or enhance them with AI for works of art.
My favorite feature is the built in privacy screen. I was skeptical upon hearing but after trying it, it is exactly as described.
The phone overall is super fast with its updated processing. It also makes multi tasking a breeze. I am already recommending my friends jump and make the upgrade to the s26 ultra.

This product boasts impressive features.
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Ambulancedriver806
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra represents a refined shift in the series, trading sharp corners for a more ergonomic, rounded design and a thinner 7.9mm chassis. Its standout innovation is the 6.9-inch Privacy Display, which allows you to narrow viewing angles to keep your screen hidden from prying eyes in public. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, it offers a significant boost in AI processing and a wider f/1.4 aperture on its 200MP main camera for superior low-light photography. While it finally bumps charging speeds to 60W, it remains an iterative but highly polished upgrade aimed at power users who prioritize privacy and top-tier mobile performance.

Not worth the upgrade, should have waited.
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Hajro
from Davenport, IA
I upgraded from S23 Ultra. I wish I waited. The battery life on the 26 Ultra is same. I'm still charging my phone 3 times a day. Performance wise, I didn't notice any change, it's still overheating from back. Even as I'm writing this review the phone is getting hot. Camera and display are good. Durability so far is good. Overall I should have waited.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

S26 Ultra
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Loverboy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] S26 Ultra is a marvel in itself. A powerful device capable of handling multiple tasks, with many AI capabilities included in this latest innovation with a pen 🖊 for the individual to innovate. An upgrade from the S25 Ultra is beautiful device which I recommend. I opted for 512GB because I take a lot of pictures and record videos too. Nightography is a beauty as it brings so much clearer pictures irrespective of the lighting at night. I will gladly buy another one for my wife during the next promotion.

Shipping was fast and seamless ordering process
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Statiq15
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Start up was super fast and setup was easy and effortless. Transfering of data was also a big plus. I am loving the privacy option as wells as other features. Only issue is that Samsung Messages is not compatible thats a bummer but other wise everything is excellent. Camera quality it phenomenal! Keep it up samsung! Galaxy AI makes task easier whether it's setting an alarm or editing a file for work, super consumer friendly and effective. Love my samsung
