Complete Phone
on March 31, 2026
Posted by: Sammy Fan
Love the phone. I been utilizing an older Galaxy phone and was due for an upgrade, and was considering to buy a phone that has been out in the market, but decided to wait for the S26 to be released this month. The Galaxy S26 Ultra has been a more interactive experience that I find more comfortable to use. I'm glad I waited for this breakthrough phone and love the privacy display, and AI features. The battery life has been great and I love how the 60w charger charges the phone so quick. All my friends love the camera and always want to use it for pictures. Unfortunately I have dropped this phone but it's a champ at taking falls and it continues to work perfectly fine and you can't notice it's been dropped. Definitely recommend this phone and products by Samsung. They never disappoint!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung does it again
on March 31, 2026
Posted by: TehRocko
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my phone, camera gets better every year, I love the jump in the processor too. The built in privacy screen is really cool but that would also be my one complaint. Compared to my S25 Ultra the screen looks muted. I don't feel like the 26 has the same vibrancy that the 25 does. Besides that, great photo.

What's missing
on March 31, 2026
Posted by: TTaylor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the phone but it needs more space and it doesn't have everything like the old phone S24 Ultra. This phone is geared more towards galaxy AI users. Which I am not fond of. Nice slick phone other than that

Love the new AI features
on March 31, 2026
Posted by: WBBENZ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the new AI features in all aspects of the phone, and use when needed. The phone is only slightly larger than my previous S25 Ultra, and can squeeze into my old case. The phone has a nicer feel to it. It also seems to be a little faster at doing things.

Galaxy S26 Ultra Camera
on March 31, 2026
Posted by: JDAWG07
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The camera has been truly impressive and works beautifully. # 1. The "Bright" Difference (Main Sensor)
The headline spec is the f/1.4 aperture on the 200MP main lens. In person, this translates to a much shallower, more natural "bokeh" (background blur).
The Experience: You don't have to rely on "Portrait Mode" as often. If you take a photo of a coffee cup or a person within 3–5 feet, the background falls away softly and naturally, making photos look less like "phone shots" and more like they were taken on a mirrorless camera. Low Light: This is where the aperture shines. It pulls in nearly 50% more light than the S25 Ultra. Users are reporting that "Night Mode" triggers less frequently because the sensor can simply "see" more without needing long exposures

So far so good.....
on March 31, 2026
Posted by: IndigoEyes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had my s22 Ultra for over 4 yrs and I was getting a screen burn in for certain icons, but other than that, it's still an amazing phone. I just wanted to see what all the hype was about. So far, so good. It took forever to transfer the data because there's no advice that the cables provide and faster transfer. I had to restart the smart switch app 3 times. I just inboxes this sucker today, so I'm still in the discovery process.
