S26 Ultra is 🔥
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Jmagee
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The moment I held it in my hand you could instantly feel the difference from that 25 Ultra. It's light, and overall just feels better in the hand. After using the phone for about a week, it has all the premium feel as it should. The cut backs on pre-order are a bummer. Being a Sammy Fan this was extremely disappointing, especially with price increases. I hope Samsung does not make this a continuous thing. If you're in the market for a new device, check out the S26 Ultra. It won't disappoint.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung has yet to fail there customers. This time they have did what no other phone company has done and that's with the privacy screen, without adding any additional items to your phone.

Back in SAMSUNG after 7 years outside S ecosystem
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: ars007usa
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After several years outside the SAMSUNG ecosystem, I'm back. The brilliant S26 Ultra made me think about returning. After less than one week of use, so far I have my thoughts. Lets tart with the Galaxy AI. I loved how creative the AI has become on this line of mobiles. I'm taking photos with the powerful camera ecosystem and if the results are not worthwhile, I'm using AI to improve my photos. I'm not a creator, but I'm having a lot of fun using this AI. Another option that I love is the transcript in real-time of my voicemail or calls. It's insane. Circle to search at this point it's super solid and allows me to translate the on-screen content, that's all that I need.
About the new and polemical Privacy Screen I'm not having any problems so far, and it's incredible how you can make private some pixels on the screen. I'm used to have privacy filters on my phones, so I'm ok with the tech. I know future developments are going to improve this technology.
The device runs smoothly, the speaker is super powerful, and the performance in overall is excellent.
The "battery". This is for me the weakest point. Hopefully, SAMSUNG will improve this topic in future generations. After a couple of searches, I discovered that SAMSUNG has still been using the same batteries for several years, while chinese brands are building devices with massive batteries.

I'm not a professional writer, I'm just sharing my thoughts based on my experience with the device. I attached a photo edited with AI.

S26 ultra review
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Jaktripper
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The real reason I purchased this Oconee was for the privacy mode. Other than that, not many difference from my s25 ultra. The phone feels more sleeker. The camera takes more clearer pictures as well. Not a lot of features have changed but I will be looking more into it to more out of my phone.

This phone has great features
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Luckystar
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first Ultra phone from Samsung and I am enjoying it so far. The S pen is great, I'm having fun and feeling fancy while using it. The built it privacy screen is great, I do not notice any lower performance for the brightness, especially indoors. The Galaxy AI features are there, I haven't had a need to try them, but I do enjoy the circle to search function. I use my phone for mobile gaming and watching YouTube and, for example, the CODM experience on this phone is amazing.

Great phone!
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Superman
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the S23 Ultra to the new S26 Ultra and I ALMOST love the phone...The ONLY thing I hate about the phone is the camera design...It sticks out too much to where my phone doesn't lay flat creating a wobble when trying to perform touch screen functions such as using the calculator...I'm looking for a case that will help it lay flat...Other than that, I really don't like the new Google messages app and wish you would bring back the old Samsung messages app...
