Amazing phone
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Galaxygirl11
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is amazing. I use it for everything. With my new position, sometimes I have to take a quick note here and there so the S pen is one of my favorites. I do wish it has the Bluetooth capability like the s24 ultra. If that was added to this phone, it would be perfect! The privacy screen is amazing. I tested it out while I was at the DMV. It was super crowded and I need to look at some sensitive information. Almost forgot I had the capability but I turned that thing on and I was more than satisfied. One more thing I think is pretty great is galaxy AI. I've tried to steer away from using AI but I thought Id give it a shot...game changer!! It's way more helpful than I thought it would be and it fits seemless in my routines with how I do things.

Great battery life. Love the new privacy display
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: SamsungFan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded to the S26 Ultra from the S25 Ultra and there is noticeable difference in battery life. The S26 is lasting longer and I am loving the 60 watt charging. The privacy display works great and you can set it to even set it to turn on to hide the unlock/pin screen and notification pop ups only. Note that the privacy display is only available on the Ultra model as of the time of writing. I can't wait to really test out the camera. Be aware that some magsafe products may not fit to the phone case due to the camera bump being so close. You pretty much have to buy the Samsung wireless magsafe battery pack or wallet. I would recommend.

I upgrade my phone from Samsung S25 ultra to S26 U
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Aulakh2S
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung 26 Ultra is truly an exceptional device. Its performance is remarkably smooth and efficient for all tasks. The camera capabilities are outstanding, capturing stunning photos and videos. Battery life is impressive, easily lasting through a full day of use. I upgrade it from s25 ultra not a big difference if you are a Camera lover or AI then You must upgrade it from S25 Ultra.

Maybe just wait for the 27
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Johnyc89
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly the phone isn't as great as I was expecting. It's quite a bit slower than my s25 ultra and it says it's the same size but i think the 25 looks bigger. The galaxy ai is probably the best part of the phone by far. It reads all my emails and tell me about deliveries. Puts all my appointments straight into my calendar with reminders. The galaxy Ai translates my phone calls in real time, (which blew my mind). Galaxy Ai let's me fix photos way better than photo shop ever could and in my videos I can tune out background noises like car passing or people talking. The galaxy s26 ultra is definitely the next generation of phones. The future is here and it's in my hands.

My New Ultra
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: JustUltra88
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my new S26 Ultra now 2 days ago. So far I'm elated with my new device. Upgraded from an S23 Ultra and the difference is very apparent. The display is sharper and more vibrant. The camera takes clearer pictures, maybe due to Galaxy AI features it uses now. Overall I am very pleased with the upgrade. I took a photo of new Buds4 Pro with my new device and it's very sharp. The privacy display is great to use and not as I read on some reviews. There's no distortion to the picture when the feature is on and you're watching a video. Much faster and responsive. Great upgrade.

Amazing battery life and AI features
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Elfred
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung S26 Ultra has amazing AI features that suggests photos enhancements and good screen size that makes it easy to use. It includes a built-in privacy screen so I can be secure while using in public.
I've had multiple Samsung Android devices from A50, S22, Flip phones, and now S26 model as a daily device for both work, connected devices, and messaging use and the latest model is a great addition to such lineup.
With 12 GB of RAM and 50 Megapixels of camera gives plenty of room to use for apps and allows me to keep family photos that I can store.

A comparative
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: JOR21MN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is an impressive phone with a beautiful display, super fast performance, and an excellent camera. Photos look incredibly detailed, and the zoom works great even from far away. The battery easily lasts all day, and the phone feels very premium in hand.
Overall, it’s a powerful and reliable smartphone, perfect for people who want top performance and one of the best cameras on the market.
Overall, it’s a powerful and reliable smartphone, perfect for people who want top performance and one of the best cameras on the market.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra feels overpriced for what it offers. The improvements over previous models are minimal, and the phone is quite bulky and heavy for daily use. While the camera and performance are good, the battery and charging speeds are not very impressive compared to other flagship phones.
