[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just got the new Galaxy S26 Ultra and I’m honestly impressed so far.
First off, the display is gorgeous. Everything looks insanely crisp and smooth, and it somehow makes even basic things like scrolling or watching videos feel more premium. The camera is also incredible. I’ve only had the phone for a short time, but the photos already look ridiculously sharp, especially in low light. It feels like I’m carrying a mini pro camera around.
Performance has been flawless too. Apps open instantly, multitasking is effortless, and the whole phone just feels fast and polished. The battery has also been holding up really well, which is always a big plus.
One thing I’ve been enjoying a lot is the new Galaxy AI features. Little things like smarter photo editing, quick summaries, and helpful suggestions actually make everyday tasks easier. It doesn’t feel gimmicky. It just feels useful.
What I like most is that the phone feels powerful without being overwhelming. Samsung packed it with features, but the experience still feels clean and easy to use.
Still early, but first impression: I’m genuinely loving the S26 Ultra. Definitely one of those upgrades that actually feels like a real upgrade.
The S26 ultra causes eye strain, dizziness and nauseousness. I have had Samsun my whole life and recently the S24 Ultra for two years and have had no issues, I also have perfect vision. The display on the S26ultra is not well made or changed to cause these health issues, I am using the same settings and have adjusted setting and nothing resolves the issue. Like many on social media and Samsung forums, I will be returning the phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with my new S26Ultra. The phone is powerful and flawless. It feels substantial in my hands and the screen display is clear and precise. I also like that Galaxy AI is always ready to assist me with getting things done. I know I am going to enjoy using this phone!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Yes, the Galaxy AI is one of the best features. I use it all the time. I love it. It's so fast, an efficient And I'm looking forward to learn more. I used my phone just for the regular stuff. Videos, music, photos and watching YouTube videos also and everything else. I could do with the phone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Main reason I upgraded was for the privacy screen feature. Camera also seems faster and better than the s24. Galaxy AI is very useful in organizing photos in gallery. I really wish we could get an ad card slot again for extra storage .
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone is awesome. It takes fantastic pictures. Using the AI feature on photos is great. I've only had the phone for a short time, but so far I think it is great and would highly recommend it.
