Smooth like butter
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: ShenDa
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded from a S23U and it does feel like a big leap in technology. Responsiveness is crisp, the display is beautifully clean, and the improvements in the camera and optimizing battery life have been very noticeable. Thought I wouldn't use the Galaxy AI functions very much but they have been surprisingly useful in day to day life. Definitely worth an investment.

Ugh... it's just OK
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Strubel
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone is nice but the privacy screen doesn't work very well. When in full privacy the screen quality is absolutely terrible. It was a selling point when I purchased the phone but samsung definitely dropped the ball on it being worth the upgrade. A privacy screen protector is way better and doesn't diminish the screen picture qualty like this auto one built in.
If you're in the market to upgrade from a 23 ultra or up, I'd hold off.

Hey Strubel, thank you for your feedback on your Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. We understand how disappointing it can be when your new device is not meeting your expectations in quality of specific features. We have provided a link to the complete manual for your device to help you adjust the settings on the Privacy Display so you can have it only enable for specific apps and notifications so you can have the best of both worlds with brightness during your usage, and privacy when desired. This can also help you with additional features you may want to integrate in to your usage. We have also provided a link to the Samsung Support Team to assist you further if you have questions or believe your device is not operating as intended. We appreciate you being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth

The Ultimate Creative Powerhouse
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: DMVShortie
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the S26 for a few weeks now, and the camera system is on another level. The new f/1.4 aperture on the main sensor makes a massive difference in low-light—night shots are crisp without that artificial 'over-processed' look.
The AI Photo Assist features are where it really shines. Being able to just describe a change (like 'change the sky to a sunset' or 'remove this person') and having the AI reconstruct the background seamlessly feels like magic. It’s not just a filter; it’s a full-on editor in your pocket.
Also, a huge shoutout to the battery life. Even with heavy camera use and 5G, the 5,000mAh battery (on the Ultra) easily gets me through a full day. Plus, the new 60W fast charging means I'm back to full in no time. If you’re a creator, this is the one.

Perfect features
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Xilefthepenguin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The galaxy ai is out of this world. I upgraded from the s20 fe with 125 gb of storage to this s26 ultra with 512 gb of storage and its like buying a new car. It's a million times faster, charges way faster, lasts like a good easy two days on a full battery, the camera quality is beyond insane. Everything about it is just leagues ahead of my last phone. And it comes in purple which is super cool

The best so far!
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Julesb
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my new Samsung phone! This phone is so easy to use, and the battery life is amazing! The use of AI is also really easy and very helpful! I really enjoy a lot of the speed of this phone, but the biggest thing for me was the privacy screen! That privacy screen is so nice because you can keep it on and you can turn it off as needed. It is so nice to be able to do things on my phone and have privacy if needed though. I would absolutely recommend this phone to anybody, it is 100% worth it!
