[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's hard to even tell them Samsung is the best now.

Pretty, Pretty, Pretty Good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty, pretty, pretty good, as Larry David would say in Curb Your Enthusiasm. Speaking of curb, the curb type bezel around the cameras is annoying. The phone doesn't sit flat because of it. Battery life has been good, and Galaxy AI is helpful. Coming from an S24 Ultra, there isn't a lot of upgrades though. Screen protectors apparently aren't needed, and the Otterbox Defender case peels them up at the corners.

Bad and the Good
on April 1, 2026
Posted by: Nahc
Product performs as advertised however some of the features face some issues.
First the magnet gets in the way of some of the sensors, as the pen or other features in the middle of the phone fails to work, if there is something magnetic working through the back of the phone. The phone sometimes fails to recognize inputs to the center of the phone, if the magnet is active through the back of the phone, or if the phone case is activating the magnet.

The finger recognition goes in and out and sometimes errors to the point, it will not recognize the fingerprint. There are times I have changed out the phone screen protector from the one I received from Samsung, to a commercial one and vice versa, it still errors out the front of the phone press sensor for fingerprint recognition.
Other than that, using it for a little over a month, I like the camera and privacy portions of the phone.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Upgrade from s23 ultra
on April 1, 2026
Posted by: TripOD
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im just discovering Galaxy Ai and i think i will use it more often. The s23 did not have it as a resource. This is an awesome upgrade!
I use Infinite paint with the stylus to make unique tattoo art. Im so impressed by everything the new S26 ultra has to offer!

Does everything I need it to, and then some!
on April 1, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where do I start about this phone? From my first note phone years ago, to the s26 ultra, they never disappoint. I never knew how much I love using galaxy ai in my daily pictures and tasks for work. They make it all so seamless, with a fast processing phone, I can make it into my laptop on the go. Long enough battery life to last 1.5 days, what more can you ask for?

I'm loving it so far!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a huge samsung fan so I have a lot of positive things to say about this phone. I upgraded from the s22 ultra and this phone is highly customizable. There's always an app to change most everything. The ai is really good it's fun to have my girlfriend draw something and see how the ai interprets it. As well as the ability to remove a problematic person in a photo is a huge plus. Using it for recommendations on food from restaurants and I use the ai translator at work alot because I have no Spanish understanding at all. The cameras are more than enough for taking pictures of our cats. Never have a bad picture because I have the live photo enabled so I can find the best picture from it. The battery life is really good usually only have to charge it once a day. The battery saver is nice too because it improves the longevity of the battery.

This phone is the best yet!
on April 1, 2026
Posted by: Rogerkm69
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've owned the S Ultra series since S20. I had the S22 and S24 phones and this one is the easiest to operate and fastest yet! I love all the AI features for photography and Gemini assistant and it makes any task i want to use it for much easier! I love my new S26 Ultra phone. Thank you Samsung!
