Better than my Note 20 but do miss a couple things
on April 1, 2026
Posted by: Tore23
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Battery longevity has greatly increased as well as the speed of apps opening. Though I do miss my extra memory card slot and the blue tooth pin that I could use as a controller for my camera. The S26 ultra camera is outstanding. With the most noticeable improvement in lower light. The AI in photo editing is fun and very functional. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just started getting into my new phone and the screen looks AMAZING. First thing i noticed! So far i love it! So glad i upgraded from the 25 ultra to the 26 ultra. Transfer from old phone to new one was the easiest tranfer i have ever done as well. Im even using the Galaxy AI this round and im pumped to try it out on photos of my work!

Greatest and the bestest
on April 1, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] On paper, the camera specs look nearly identical to the S25 Ultra. In practice, the experience is meaningfully better — and the reason is a combination of smarter optics and deeper AI integration.
The setup includes a 200MP wide-angle, 50MP ultra-wide, 10MP 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP telephoto delivering optical-quality zoom up to 10x. The key hardware change is a wider f/1.4 aperture on the 200MP camera, allowing more light to hit the sensor. (Droid Life) That single tweak cascades into dramatically better results across the board.
The wider apertures allow 47% more light into the main camera and 37% more into the 5x telephoto compared to the S25 Ultra, delivering clearer photos with richer detail in low-light conditions, even when zoomed in.

Galaxy S26 Ultra is the best phone I 've owned
on April 1, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra has completely raised the bar for what I expect from a smartphone. From the moment I picked it up, the build quality made it clear this is a premium device — solid, refined, and built to last.
The display is stunning. Colors are vivid, text is razor sharp, and outdoor visibility is excellent. It's the kind of screen that makes everything else look dated by comparison.
Camera quality is in a league of its own. Whether it's low-light shots, zoomed portraits, or quick candids, every photo comes out looking intentional. It's replaced my need for a dedicated camera entirely.
Galaxy AI is where things get really impressive. It's deeply integrated in a way that actually saves time — summarizing, editing, translating, and assisting without feeling gimmicky. It genuinely makes the phone smarter.
The S Pen remains one of my favorite features. Note-taking, sketching, precision editing — it adds a productivity dimension no other phone offers.
Battery life rounds it all out. Heavy use days and it still keeps up. The S26 Ultra isn't just the best Samsung phone — it's the best phone I've ever owned.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since Galaxy AI is built into the phone itself, I don't have to install another AI app.

This is the best phone i've ever had.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung S26 Ultra for a few weeks now, and it’s easily one of the most impressive smartphones I’ve ever owned. The design feels premium and solid in hand, with a sleek finish that really stands out. The display is absolutely stunning—bright, crisp, and incredibly smooth, making everything from streaming videos to scrolling through apps feel top-tier.
Performance-wise, this phone is a powerhouse. Apps open instantly, multitasking is seamless, and gaming runs flawlessly without lag or overheating. The battery life has also been excellent, easily lasting me a full day with heavy use, and the fast charging is a huge bonus when I need a quick top-up.
The camera system is where this phone really shines. Photos come out sharp, vibrant, and detailed in all lighting conditions. The zoom capabilities are especially impressive, letting me capture shots I wouldn’t have thought possible on a phone.
One of my favorite features is Galaxy AI, which genuinely enhances the overall experience. From smart photo editing to helpful productivity tools, it feels like the phone adapts to how I use it and makes everyday tasks easier and faster.
Overall, the Samsung S26 Ultra delivers on every level—performance, design, camera, and innovation. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a premium smartphone experience.
