A Polished Upgrade
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Averagejoe2026
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the S23 Ultra to the S26 Ultra and the experience has been excellent so far. The updated UI really ties the phone together and makes everything feel smoother and more polished. Compared to my S23 Ultra, this phone feels noticeably more responsive in everyday use, with faster app launches and smoother animations.
The display is beautiful—bright, sharp, and great for both media and daily tasks. Battery life has also been outstanding and easily lasts through the day. I’ve also noticed that Google services seem better integrated, and Android Auto runs much smoother than before.
Galaxy AI has been a surprisingly useful addition. Samsung has integrated AI features in ways that actually help with everyday tasks. The updated phone app is a great example, with new AI-powered call features that help manage and summarize calls, making it easier to keep track of important conversations.
I also really like the addition of magnetic charging support, which makes using charging accessories much more convenient.
The only improvement I’d like to see is camera placement. Since the camera layout is similar to previous models, it makes it difficult to use magnetic battery packs because they don’t sit flush on the back. Hopefully this is something Samsung considers improving in the next model.
Overall, the S26 Ultra feels like a polished and worthwhile upgrade.

Flawless phone with all the features you need!

Posted by: MrBlueRulz
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hey "Galaxy AI" keeps getting stronger and ever more galactic! This phone has all the features that one could ever need and dream of! Only criticism is that i think maybe a 50MP selfie cam would be stellar. S27 Ultra I hope!

This phone is amazing.
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: JagerW
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded my phone to the new ultra every 2 years and this year is bu far the best upgrade. The new galaxy AI is impeccable. Not to mention the convenience of the built in privacy screen. This is the smoothest phone I have ever had and it even updates extremely fast. The switch this this phone as been the most seamless. Overall amazing!!
