Great phone! The battery is incredible!
on April 8, 2026
Posted by: Aj2828
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new phone. I went from an S21 ultra to an S26 ultra. I love all the new features. The camera quality is amazing and now with the upgraded storage space I don't have to delete old videos or pictures to make space for more. I am still getting used to having an S-Pen so I haven't really used it much but it is nice because my daughter can use it to draw and color directly on my phone.
The battery life is incredible. My s21 I was always carrying a charger with me and charged it multiple times a day. On the S26 the battery life is amazing. I have a fast charger and it actually charges super fast compared to my old phone using the same charger. I'll have music playing throughout the day and stream sports and movies on my phone and never feel like it is draining my battery.
The privacy screen is pretty neat as well! There is also a button on the keyboard to help with responses using A.I. whenever I'm stuck formulating a response.
The only thing that keeps it from being 5 stars is that I have trouble with the Bluetooth. Some devices have trouble connecting and I have to keep trying to connect until it actually does. I believe this is something they're working on fixing but overall it is a great phone !

I'm really enjoying the great upgraded graphics quality and improved sound capability. Been really excited to explore my phones many features and hidden menus. Galaxy AI is fun and exciting. I can't hardly put this new phone down.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The photo and video quality is top level. The zoom is so clean it's making my friends want to get this phone.
The s pin is great for editing for social media. And gives me old DS vibes.
I also love how easy it is to make the phone customizable to fit your esthetic.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely thrilled with this device. The camera quality is on another level; the photos are fantastic, capturing every detail with clarity, and the videos are equally impressive. What really stands out in my day-to-day use is the excellent fluidity of the interface, which makes navigating between apps feel incredibly smooth and responsive.
How I use it:
Work & Productivity: As a professional with a busy schedule, I rely on this device to stay organized. Galaxy AI has been a total lifesaver here—features like Note Assist and real-time translation help me manage my tasks and communications much more efficiently.
Streaming & Entertainment: Whether I’m catching up on sports highlights or streaming movies during my downtime, the display quality is stunning. The colors are vibrant, making it my go-to screen for entertainment.
Gaming: The performance is top-notch. I can play graphics-intensive games without any lag, which speaks volumes about the processing power.
Impact on my routine:
This Samsung product has seamlessly integrated into my life. From using Galaxy AI to enhance my workflow to enjoying high-quality media on the go, it has significantly upgraded my daily productivity and leisure time. It's more than just a phone; it's a versatile tool that handles everything I throw at it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Handles multitasking, gaming (with ray tracing support and better thermals via larger vapor chamber), and AI tasks smoothly with no noticeable lag or overheating.

Missing feathers
on April 8, 2026
Posted by: Bren
I traded up from the s25 ultra to the s26 ultra and was very disappointed that there were some features missing. What happened to Samsung messages? And the S pen is no longer Bluetooth! And the one that upset me the most was the Samsung themes. They only show up on the home page. I purchased a lot of them on my previous phones and I'm disappointed I can't use them on this one. Other that that, I love the phone.
