So far, so good.... mostly
on April 6, 2026
Posted by: NotesUltrasSpensLOYALTY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had 25 Ultra & not many changes so far.... I'll have to get back to you on that!
I DESPERATELY miss Samsung Messages(text); I have problems with Google Messages & frequently involving the "I"-fans. My solution was to download Samsung Messages on my S25-U, but that doesn't seem to be an option anymore!
Also, what is with the Perplexity AI Pro "1-year-trial.... oops, ignore that offer, its invalid during your device's pre-phone production.."!?¿!!??¿ I would've liked to try it, but I can't!!?! I'm happy with Galaxy AI but I'd like to compare them myself. Hard to compare Apples to unattainable Oranges.. Kinda perplexing!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is slightly thinner and lighter than the S25 Ultra, with more rounded corners that are generally considered more comfortable to hold, moving away from the sharp "brick" feel of previous generations

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since the beginning of me getting this phone, i've absolutely adored it and have loved to use it every single day, from drawing to doing math, to setting appointments and reminders of myself. I am a cook and I use it to write down all my recipes and all the ingredients that I need and all the utensils that I need. Therefore, in my recipes.I really enjoy using this phone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra! The design feels premium and the display is absolutely stunning watching videos and scrolling through apps is such a smooth experience. The performance is fast and reliable, and I appreciate how long the battery lasts. The camera is amazing, capturing sharp, vibrant photos in any light. Overall, I’m really impressed with the improvements and feel this phone is worth every bit of its price.

Loving this phone to the max!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hi, I’m Roberto. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is a masterclass in hardware and AI integration. Living in NYC, two features have completely changed the game for me: the Privacy Display and the evolution of Galaxy AI. Forget stick-on protectors. Samsung integrated privacy directly into the pixels. I have mine set to trigger automatically for banking and messaging. It’s perfect for the subway or crowded cafes, providing peace of mind without sacrificing that stunning Quad HD+ clarity. When I’m with my partner and we want to watch a video together, I just toggle it off. It’s truly the best of both worlds. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the AI has moved from "cool tricks" to "essential tools." Now Nudge: Subtly suggests actions based on your screen—like tracking a flight or summarizing long articles. AI Call Screening: This is my ultimate spam-fighter. It answers unknown calls, transcribes them in real-time, and lets me "reply" via text-to-speech.The S26 Ultra feels like it finally understands its environment. Whether it's shielding data from a nosy neighbor on the train or simplifying my workflow, Samsung is now prioritizing utility over specs. It is, without a doubt, the most "intelligent" smartphone ever made. Thank you Samsung can't wait to see what you got for next year!
Sincerely,
Roberto.
Sincerely,
Roberto.

Very powerful cell phone
on April 6, 2026
Posted by: SamsungBeliever
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have not had this phone long enough to evaluate all of its features. I bought it predominantly for its camera. That is very good. I have watched various video about some of its features and am quite sure they will soon be put to use! Altogether a great phone.

This phone is the best!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had Galaxy Ultra phones for a few years now and they just keep getting better. They run smoothly and effortlessly. They're more intuitive than ever, especially with Galaxy AI. The new privacy feature is incredible and something I know others wish they had. My daughter was so surprised to hear my Samsung had this feature. The camera is the best! Videos or photos, edits are a piece of cake. Removing unwanted images was a wonderful feature, now I can insert something, or even animate an image! I use it for everything and it basically keeps my entire life in one place for me. No more overheating on certain apps or games. No lagging. Organizing everything the way I want it; social media, music, streaming, medical, finance, etc. It's the best phone out there!
