I am more productive!
on April 2, 2026
Posted by: InoyIamhereagain
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted a new phone. I saw the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra was coming out within a month so I ordered it. I assumed the new technology would be OK. I did not expect it to be LIFE CHANGING! The "Now Brief" setting sorts through my tasks that I put in the "Reminder" App and my Google Calendar to tell me my upcoming tasks, and appointments for the next day. The best part is, if I go back to the Now Brief later in the day it tells me which tasks I haven't completed yet! So now I complete more tasks and forget less appointments! Galaxy AI also helps with suggested videos and weather content in my Now Brief. There are many new Galaxy AI features and I am still learning new ways to increase my productivity.
I almost forgot my other favorite part! The instant privacy screen setting! My kids sneak beside me to see what I am doing on my phone. THEY HAVE GIVEN UP TRYING from my sides! YaY! I just have to keep them from behind me.

Great features and powerful performance
on April 3, 2026
Posted by: TechStudent24
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my Samsung device every day for school, streaming, gaming, and staying organized, and it has made my daily routine much easier. The performance is smooth, apps open quickly, and multitasking works without any problems. The screen quality is excellent for watching movies and videos, and the battery lasts long enough to get through a full day of use.
One of my favorite features is Galaxy AI, which helps with writing, searching, and organizing tasks more efficiently. It makes studying and taking notes faster and more convenient, especially when working on assignments or researching information. The device is also great for entertainment, whether I am watching sports, listening to music, or playing games.
Overall, this Samsung device is reliable, fast, and very useful for both school and daily life. It combines performance, smart features, and convenience in a way that makes it a strong choice for anyone looking for a powerful and easy-to-use device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is a great upgrade from. The S24. Its fast, bright, and the features are fantastic. The privacy screen is a game changer indeed. The UI8.5 is great. I am not having any connection issues with my phone carrier or my wifi. The Ai features are cool especially the things you can do with photo editing.

LOVE this phone.
on April 3, 2026
Posted by: Alex2Samsung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been upgrading my phone every year with samsung since the s21 ultra. I have seen them transform and improve over the years. The camera gets better and better every year. The performance improves. And now samsung has outdone themselves with the privacy display. They also brought back the sky blue color!

Text message sucks & no SD card slots anymore
on April 3, 2026
Posted by: Candy
from Atlanta Ga
I was unaware that the text message app would not be the same as in the past. The Google text messag I don't like and going back to the Samsung text message and that has ads. Also there is no slot for an internal SD card so I just didn't research assuming major changes like that were no longer available. Returning my new phone.
Response from Samsung USBy R&R Team, April 6, 2026
Hi Candy, thank you for sharing your experience of your Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra with us. We know how distressing it can be when features you have used and loved in the past have been changed or removed. We do allow for storage expansion on devices if you are finding the installed storage to be insufficient. This is accomplished through cloud-based storage expansion that allows access across your ecosystem of devices. We have also provided a link to the complete manual for your device to help you discover the changes made to the messaging app as the Samsung Messages is being phased out from devices. We appreciate you being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth

It's great, I guess
on April 4, 2026
Posted by: Nickname
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ll admit, I am not a tech guru - so far it just doesn’t feel dramatically different from my S23 Ultra. The one thing I can’t deny is the camera. It’s absolutely unbeatable, and the clarity is fantastic. The rest is on me for not taking the time to learn the features, including the Galaxy AI. My suggestion: totally buy the S26 Ultra, but don't sell this piece of magnificense by not accessing all it has to offrt.
