[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The device has the AI feature and Bixby if you like those. I haven't done alot with them yet. I use my phone for calls, texts, gaming, sometimes tv, and taking pictures. I'm still exploring my S26, but like everything about it so far. I want to try more of the creative features with the pictures and pen.

S26 ultra review
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: Bigco504
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If the S25 Ultra was a masterpiece, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is the "Collector’s Edition" that fixes everything you didn't know was broken. Released in March 2026, it doesn't reinvent the wheel—it just makes it roll smoother than ever.
The standout feature is undoubtedly the 6.9-inch Privacy Display. Using "Flex Magic Pixel" technology, it effectively blacks out your screen for anyone looking from an angle. It’s a game-changer for commuters or anyone tired of "shoulder surfers" peaking at their texts. Coupled with a 2600-nit peak brightness, it’s the most legible and secure panel on the market.
Under the hood, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 "for Galaxy" is a beast. Whether you’re gaming on Genshin Impact or juggling 20+ apps, the new cooling system keeps the titanium frame impressively chill. But the real star is Galaxy AI. From "Now Nudge"—which anticipates the photos you want to share—to the revamped Bixby agent that understands natural intent (like "stop people from seeing my screen" to trigger privacy mode), the phone finally feels like it’s thinking with you.
While the 200MP sensor remains, the f/1.4 aperture on the main lens is a massive low-light win, capturing 47% more light. Nightography video is now strikingly clean, and the 50MP 5x periscope telephoto delivers optical-quality crops that make 10x shots look native. I love my S26 Ultra.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely loving my new S26 Ultra! The Galaxy AI features are top notch! With superior productivity, I can run my entire household from my phone phone.
The next generation should step up connectivity and data transfer capabilities to match the most current Thunderbolt bus capabilities and speeds.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Personally, it is an excellent phone, many improvements after the S23 Ultra, which was undoubtedly one of the best in its years and still is, the S26 Ultra is already top 1 above many brands, it will always be my number 1 mark in almost everything. My Galaxy phone I use for almost everything, very essential, practical and comfortable for everything I do in my daily routine, 10/10 for me is the best phone of 2026, congratulations from a super fan of the brand.

This phone has great screen improvements

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] S26 ultra is a masterclass in refinement proving that innovation don't requires always a redesign. The standout feature is the new privacy display. It's a genuine innovative piece that let's you switch to a built in privacy screen saving you from awkward screen protectors. Also the features in the camera with the horizontal lock that keeps your footage perfectly level even if you spin the phone
There are a lot of improvement. This is a fantastic upgrade that brings genuine hardware features to the table. Thanks samsung
