Perfect time to upgrade
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: Jcr33k
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from a Galaxy S22 Ultra for this phone and it was a great decision. The Galaxy AI has been insanely helpful and getting the phone set up and I've actually for the first time had conversations with an AI for dinner options which is very odd but fun. And I look forward to learning much much more about the phone. The call assist has been a major boon in screening spam calls. The privacy screen works as advertised. I'm thrilled with this phone.

Light, bright!
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: BiddoTiger
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is amazing. From my 24 this 26 is a big upgrade. Screen is super bright. Also much lighter than my 24 ultra.
Galaxy AI is pretty cool and in connection with Bixby I'm completely satisfied.
Dieing to pair this with the new watch this summer.

Great phone - awful camera bump
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: Seth
Upgraded from s24 plus to s26 ultra. Phone has overall quality Samsung is known for. I removed two stars as Samsung refuses to include built in magnets for QI charging and more importantly because the camera bump is huge. The camera makes it impossible for the phone to sit flat on a table and wobbles when you try to use it that way.

Awesome everything EXCEPT the display
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: Bpnd
The phone feels great, camera is great, battery is great.
But the display is so fuzzy to me that I can't use it. Even with privacy display off, the screen strains my eyes when reading text. I wanted to like this phone a lot but I unfortunately will have to return it.
If you are thinking of buying this phone, definitely check it out in store before you do. I did not, and I probably should have.
I had a s23u and a fold 7, and my partner had a s25u, and I had no problem with those phones screens. So there's definitely something introduced with the s26u that strains my eyes.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Smooth and Fast
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: Luv4phonez
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been using my 26 ultra for a couple of days. Phone runs fast and very smooth when scrolling thru the apps. The AI and interpretation with the Galaxy Buds 4 pro is amazing. The size and feel of the phone is fantastic. Still trying to get used to the built in privacy screen. I had higher hopes for it and as for now I am still a fan of a screen protector that has the privacy feature.
