The best just keeps on getting better
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: EnthusiastUser
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Going from my previous phone (S22 Ultra) to the S26 Ultra has been a comparison of night and day. The gradual improvements generation over generation have been remarkable to the responsiveness of the OS, the quality of the screens and the powerful hardware packed under the hood. Regular tasks feel instantaneous compared to the more, to put it politely, methodical speeds of my previous device. I'm normally not one for utilizing AI features on phones, but with how responsive and smart Galaxy AI is to this device, it feels like a seamless addition to an already stellar device

Great Hardware, Needs Notification Fixes
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: ToneTrapped
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this phone daily for work, content creation, and staying connected, and the hardware has been excellent. The display is sharp, performance is fast, and the camera delivers consistently strong results. Features like Galaxy AI are a nice addition and feel useful in everyday tasks.
However, the biggest issue for me is notifications, especially in the messaging app. I am not able to customize notification sounds at all and can only use the default sounds provided on the device. This makes it difficult to distinguish between contacts or prioritize messages, which impacts daily use more than expected.
I have also noticed occasional inconsistencies with notifications from other apps, including delays or missed alerts. While not constant, it happens often enough to be frustrating.
Overall, the hardware experience is top tier, but the software needs refinement. If Samsung improves notification customization and reliability, this would easily be a five star device. As it stands, it is a strong four star phone.

This product works flawlessly as advertised.

Posted by: FNTWO187
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is great at almost everything, it's UI is very responsive, fast and smooth. The cameras are an improvement over the previous galaxy series and the new form factor is very welcomed; it feels more comfortable in the hand and it's lighter!
