Minimal upgrade compared to s25u
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: TheoEugene
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While it's a great phone, it's barely a step up from the s25u. The privacy screen is a neat gimmick. However the phone gets super hot when watching videos. Charging speeds are a nice upgrade, while the camera upgrades aren't noticeable to the average user. If the Fold 7 had better cameras I would have stuck with my s25u and Fold 7. I even opted for the 1tb version for the upgraded RAM which doesn't seem to make a difference. I'm hoping it's a software issue and gets corrected quickly.

Nice update butost a great feature
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: Titan97
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The S26 Ultra is nice. The privacy display is great. It is lighter then my S24 Ultra and the camera is great. If any of those features are what you are looking for then get it. My one complaint is that they took the blue tooth capability out of the S-Pen so I can not use my S pen as a camera remote anymore. Because the cameras are so good and the screen so big, my phone tends to get volunteered for group pictures and the S Pen having that function was the best thing ever. Had I known the S26 did not have that function with its S pen, I would not have purchased this phone and stuck with maybe the S25 or wait to see if they brought it back.
