[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This isn't a top tier model. My old S23U has a better screen for text.

Hello AZSamUser, thank you for taking time out of your day to share your thoughts about your Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra with us. We know how distressing it can be when you have a device that is not aligning to your expectations in display quality. If you are using the new privacy display the design of this feature can cause the display to look different than you may be expecting. If this is not your preference from your quick panel you can select the privacy display and adjust the settings. You can also adjust the settings of this feature to only enable for specific apps or nofications. We have provided a link to the complete manual to help you best customize your device. We have also shared a link to the Samsung Support Team to offer additional assistance if you continue to experience frustrations with your device. Thank you for being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the S26 ultra for the privacy display and it doesn't disappoint. The galaxy AI feature for answering calls is a plus.

The battery life sucks, like really bad! The privacy screen option isn't as good as the actual screen protector. It's also very heavy, but if you like heavy phones, then it'll be good for you. The camera is great and some other cool features. I honestly liked my 25 ultra better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Blazing Fast
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: Speedfreak
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything about this phone is much quicker and snappier than my old S23 Ultra. Apps open faster. camera is faster. games are smoother. scrolling is smoother. Charging is faster. Fingerprint reader is faster. NFC payments are faster. Wi-Fi is faster. 5G is faster and is more usable in places with spotty coverage.
Unfortunately the Spen is now smaller and you can't use it as a remote to control the camera or play/pause media anymore.

Faster, clearer, better camera
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: NMProf
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just upgraded from the S23+ to the S26 Ultra and I am impressed. Love the built- in privacy mode (I used to use a screen protector for that), the stylus, and the general processing speed and innovations on this model. The immediate translation/ interpretation mode using Galaxy AI is fun. I am very happy with this purchase.
