LOVE THIS PHONE!!!
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: GeeFeezy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded to the S26 Ultra and love all the new features! The only thing i miss is the Bluetooth S Pen on my old phone. I took a lot of photos using the S pen but now I just use my galaxy 8 classic watch to do so. The Galaxy AI features are very useful for me this time around too!. Adding Perplexity is a must from the galaxy store!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The AI is great still trying to get use to it. I wish the call screening had it's own button. Between the answer and end button. Instead of having to hit 2 different buttons! All in all love my purchase!

The slightest (maybe) upgrade over the S24 Ultra
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Taylor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The software features of the S26 Ultra are a very slight improvement coming from the S24 Ultra like the super fast charging, while some were not upgraded at all. The Galaxy AI is probably the best feature of this phone, as I do not use the new Privacy technology for the screen.
For me, the hardware feels like a downgrade. The phone itself is aluminum instead of titanium, and has more rounded corners like every other phone. This iteration does not have the "premium" feel of the S24 Ultra for these reasons.
I was able to trade in for a discount on this device. If I had paid full price, I would have returned this phone and kept the S24.

The upgrade was worth it!
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Katama
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the Samsung fold 6, loved the size difference. The sleek and larger size was ergonomically better than my previous device.
The incorporated Galaxy AI is both a blessing but also an annoyance. I appreciate the ability to edit videos and photos similarly to Photoshop quality, however, AI being mandatory for this product is worrisome.
A minor detail I noticed is that the camera facing me was able to blend with videos in my previous device. This device does not offer that option. I grew accustomed to that feature that the absence has become cumbersome.

Display Innovation and Galaxy AI
on April 9, 2026
Posted by: Void402
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This year's S26 Ultra features quite a nice privacy display built in, which I quite enjoy. Having the ability to turn on the privacy display on banking apps and off on everything else is amazing, and something that cannot be done on any other smartphone. This year's Galaxy AI features seem to be more interactive than ever before. I very much enjoy using the daily recaps. Overall, great device. The innovations provided by Galaxy AI and the Display are amazing additions and allow the S26 Ultra to stay competitive in an ever evolving smartphone market.
