[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my new galaxy s26 ultra. Lots of great features and great battery life. Privacy screen is used for my apps that I don't want others seeing. Great display quality as well. Much lighter than my s24 ultra. Don't forget the samsung ai features!

Great phone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is officially the most polished flagship I’ve ever used, and it feels like a massive leap forward. The new Privacy Display is a stroke of genius for keeping prying eyes away from my screen in public, but the real magic lies in how seamless Galaxy AI has become. It’s no longer just a collection of cool tricks; it’s a genuinely intuitive assistant that handles complex, multi-step tasks in the background and makes photo editing—like transforming a sunny day into a rainy evening—feel effortless. It's easily the most capable and refined phone on the market right now.

Good phone, but not worth the upgrade.
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: OGSpot
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone mostly for messaging, some entertainment (YouTube, Music, reading news), photography and workout logs. I am not into gaming so I rarely (never) run into situation where I am maxing out the hardware.
The main features tauted for the S25 Ultra are the privacy mode and the camera. I have used the privacy feature a few times where I was in public and didn't want anyone to see what I was reading. But, I could have easily just turned my body to ensure that no one could see. Beyond that, there are few occasions where I *need* to look at personal/private matter in public places.
The camera features seem to be minor updates.
I had the S25 Ultra, and I can say that there is little in the way of improvements to justify the ~$500 cost to upgrade. Now, if I were coming from a 3-5 year old phone, it would be a big leap and worth it.

The last point to mention is "Galaxy AI". The improvements, most of them are nice but unneeded. I mean scaning your chat messages to get a summary of what everyone wants to eat and then recommending a restaurant is nice, but I am not sure how many times that would come in handy. The #GalaxyAl camera features are a bit more useful, but how many times do you need to add your dog into a picture?
I think, since circle to search came out, I have used it 3-4 times. I don't get a whole lot of calls from unknown people/scam, and both Google Voice and T-Mobile filter the majority of those for me.

No other phone compares!
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: Albert
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S26 Ultra has far exceeded my expectations and is absolutely worth every penny. Its features are unlike anything I’ve experienced on other smartphones—from the privacy screen to the impressive range of camera capabilities, it truly stands in a class of its own. My favorite feature is the ability to simply draw a circle around anything on the screen and instantly pull up relevant information about it. I use the Galaxy AI for editing my pictures for work and it never disappoints. This phone makes my daily life so much easier. I love my phone....team Samsung 4ever!!!

S22ultra upgrade
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: DigDug
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fairly happy with the upgrade, only a few points of less than optimal features comparing to the older s22.
Loss of the spen Bluetooth was very sad and was part of why it tool so long to upgrade.
Galaxy Ai is a good tool that I will keep learning to improve my everyday ease. Biggest scare of all Ai is becoming the lazy humans in Wall-E.
