Also the most anticipated feature the privacy screen mode. The software upgraded 8.5 brought many new features that I still learning how use it. I love this phone and spend a lot of time on my daily routine.

Galaxy S26 Ultra: A True Upgrade Win
on May 25, 2026
Posted by: AuratrixNyxa
Upgrading from the Galaxy S24 Ultra to the Galaxy S26 Ultra has been one of the best tech decisions I’ve made. I expected a small jump, but the improvements are noticeable in almost every part of my day. The new design feels more refined, the performance is faster and smoother, and the battery life easily outlasts what I was getting before. It’s a true upgrade, not just a refresh.
The addition of Galaxy AI has made the biggest difference. I use it constantly—cleaning up photos, summarizing long notes, generating quick messages, and organizing my day. It feels like the phone is actively helping me instead of just being a tool.
The display is brighter and more vibrant, making streaming, movies, and sports look incredible. Gaming is smoother too, with better heat management than my S24 Ultra ever had. The camera system is another huge step up. Low‑light shots look cleaner, zoom photos are sharper, and video stabilization is noticeably better.
For work, the S Pen and multitasking tools make switching between apps and taking notes effortless. Everything feels faster and more polished.
Overall, I’m genuinely happy with the upgrade. The S26 Ultra improves every part of my routine—entertainment, productivity, creativity, and communication. It’s the kind of upgrade that makes you glad you made the jump.

Greatness in a phone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new galaxy s26 ultra is truly an amazing phone . From the ai technology to the camera that can take professional quality photos to the speed and smoothness of the operating system there really isn't anything you can not do.
The transitions on the thing are smooth as butter and the power and memory of it can handle anything you throw at it. There will never be a perfect phone since every one has there own wants and needs in a phone, but this is as close to perfect as I have experienced yet.

Overall I would rate this a 9 out of 10. The only place that I feel it could improve is in the battery life. There are other companies that have went with much bigger batteries and I feel its time for Samsung to do the same.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone has by far the best camera ever. My child play alot of sports and i love the photos i capture with the S26 Ultra. Galaxy AI has the fastest responses and best result search vs Other AI.. Live the gaming visuals and streaming as well. Can't get enough of this phone, as im still learning all the perks the phone offers. After 12+ years of using iphones this is a better change and still adjusting to the new one.

This Phone has Great Features
on May 25, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that I can change the way my pen reacts when I remove it. I can start a note instantly. Also I set up a routine so that I can double tap my home screen to search my entire phone and web for something. I use AI almost every day to help me find answers and to locate products for me just from my specific likes and dislikes. I like that the camera can pan effortlessly. I'm also enjoying Gemini and bixby to handle day to day things i.e set a timer, enter an appointment, place a call, send a message. It was totally worth the upgrade!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would rate my Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra overall around a 9 out of 10. So far, my experience with the device has been very positive. One of the best features is definitely the display quality. The screen is bright, sharp, and smooth, which makes watching videos, scrolling through apps, and even reading much more enjoyable. The performance is also excellent. Apps open quickly, multitasking feels seamless, and I have not experienced any major lag or freezing issues during everyday use.
Another feature I really enjoy is the camera system. The photos come out detailed and vibrant, especially in good lighting, and the zoom capabilities are impressive. Night mode has also improved a lot compared to older devices, making low-light pictures look clearer and more natural. Battery life has been reliable as well. Even with heavy daily use such as streaming, social media, taking photos, and messaging, the phone lasts throughout the day without needing constant charging.
The design of the phone feels premium and modern. It is comfortable to hold despite being a larger device, and the build quality feels very durable. I also appreciate the customization options and features that Samsung includes with its software, allowing the phone to feel more personalized and user-friendly.
The reason I would not give it a perfect 10 is because there are still a few small things that could improve, such as the price being quite high and some apps occasionally using a lot of battery in the background.
