A firm 9.6 out of 10 - ALMOST perfect
on June 11, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from an S22U to an S26U, here is my new unbiased experience and opinion thus far.
The Good:
1) The chipset rocks!
-The overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy is a beast! Incredibly power efficient and a gaming juggernaut, it doesn't understand the word "slow" at all!

2) The privacy screen sealed the deal for me!
- Simply a game changer! Eyes where you want them and none where you don't. It works incredibly well and I'm sure privacy screen manufacturers are still punching the air right now. 😂

3) Galaxy AI is worth using.
- AI is a dicey subject, but with an on-board NPU, an option to only process data on the device only and an actually upheld ethics policy, it very much stands apart as the only AI phone truly in the space. The AI select tool and Gen edit features are very useful when necessary!

The compromises:
1) Privacy screen tech noticeably hinders display performance.
- A trade-off for sure. No more anti-glare coating and you do get a noticeable decline in overall sharpness and worse outdoor viewability compared to the S25U.

2) Now Nudge feature seldom works.
- Despite purposefully giving prompts, it seemingly picks and chooses when to work, save for the occasional "save date" function.

3) I just really miss the Bluetooth S-Pen
- enuff said. 😞😞

Overall, It's a fantastic phone with very few trade-offs. I'm hoping that the privacy display sticks around and sees improvement, and in a perfect world, maybe the bluetooth S-Pen makes a come back! 🤞

Great features and visuals.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm upgrading from a s9+. I've had plenty of Samsung phones but the galaxy has been really good. The s9+ lasted me 5 years with no problems. So I have high hopes for this one and it hasn't disappointed yet. Features like the galaxy Ai, camera, screen resolution, and sound are stunning. The s pen is a blessing for someone like me with big hands lol. All in all this is by far the best phone I've ever owned.

Five Stars for the S26 Ultra and Galaxy AI
on June 11, 2026
Posted by: SnapperPiston
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is easily one of the most impressive smartphones I've ever used. The display is stunning, the camera system captures incredible photos and videos, and the battery life keeps up with even the busiest days. What really sets this phone apart is Galaxy AI. Features like real-time translation, intelligent photo editing, note summarization, and advanced search tools make everyday tasks faster and more convenient. The performance is lightning-fast, the design feels premium, and the AI-powered features genuinely enhance the user experience rather than feeling like a gimmick. Samsung has created a device that is both powerful and innovative. I highly recommend the Galaxy S26 Ultra to anyone looking for a flagship smartphone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The AI is intuitive for frequently performed tasks. Sending a text while driving, adding a destination to your trip and summaries of the stories of the day.
The display is crisp and adapts well to lighting conditions.
