Everything you could want!
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Nuri2fast
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly this phone has everything you could want from a smartphone. Every feature is top notch. Samsung continues to lead the smartphone world with innovative features like the privacy screen and stability camera. They also continue to build on Galaxy AI features. I don't have any negatives and can't wait to see what's next.

I like using the s pen to create galaxy AI picture
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: JARRITOS
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well to start with i have my s26 ultra for a week already and so far it's good there is new features that I still haven't discovered but I will get to it eventually, I use the galaxy AI when ever I have questions or just feel like having a random conversation I also use it to create pictures, the only thing that I don't like is that I can't use the S Pen as a remote like the previous generations so please bring it back.

I've grown up with samsung, i love the new S26 Ult
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Salahh16
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's an amazing product samsung's innovation is outstanding and unmatched, every year producing better and better products. I have had only one issue during connectivity with the USB-C why most in android auto mode connected to the vehicle. I have troubleshooted and every clue points to the new ultra being the problem, I don't know what it is, It just keeps connecting and disconnecting. I have tried with multiple different devices that have no issues with the same connection using the same wire. However when I plug in my S26 Ultra for some reason, it continuously disconnects and reconnects. The Galaxy AI is awesome and continues to improve every year.

Samsung Slowly Returning to Greatness
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Mika33
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have an S26 Ultra 1TB in Silver.
I'm a big lover of Samsung phones. They've been the only smartphone brand I've ever owned and generally I love their phones. Although the last few phones I've owned from them I haven't really been a fan of. This phone, I absolutely love already, and it's close to the greatness of what I remember Samsung phones being like.

Pros-
Display: It's bright, it's vibrant, and I have more control than ever over exactly how it looks and I love that. The privacy display is amazing. I set it up so my sensitive apps (banking and such), my notifications, and my pins and passwords auto trigger the privacy display for the portions of the screen they occupy, it's amazing.
Battery: The battery feels like it lasts longer than before, and even with 45w charging, it charges SO FAST!
Speakers: Holy COW these are loud and clear nowadays. Streaming with just the phone speakers is nice.

Cons:
S Pen: it's smaller and harder to hold, even for my small hands.
Ergonomics: I don't like how this phone feels in the hand, so I use a case to compensate.
Rounded Corners: I REALLY don't like thenrounded corners of the display, but it's a minor gripe.

Overall, I love this phone. Especially the Galaxy AI . I really haven't liked previous AI implementations, but it's actually feels useful now. Even if I don't know what the setting is, I can ask Bixby to take me to the setting by awkwardly describing it, and IT JUST WORK! It just understands. I like that a lot.

One of the best phones I've ever owned
on March 13, 2026
Posted by: Hvx101
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've only had this phone a couple of days but so far this is genuinely one of the best phones I've owned from Samsung. The new design and curves feel so good in my hand. I upgraded from an S24 Ultra, and while I will miss the Bluetooth S-pen, the square frame was so uncomfortable in my hands. This has perfect rounded corners where it's not too much like other phones while still being pseudo boxy to keep a good viewing experience while watching content. Honestly while a lot of the Galaxy AI features are kind of gimmicky, I've genuinely been pleased with some of the AI features and it does make the user experience better overall. If you are looking to get ahead of the curb, this phone is the best experience to have with AI and features. At first I thought the privacy display feature was not that big of a deal, but it truly is a game changer, and I can not wait for them to bring this technology to the Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Book series, they will be instant hits with the privacy display. The only two things I could think to make this phone a true 10/10, is if samsung finds a way to make the Bluetooth S-pen work with and include true Qi2.2 support with magnets built in directly into the phone. Also, the camera island will need to change to accommodate true Qi 2.2 support as the camera island is way too close to the magnetic ring for third party accessories to work. With those two changes made you will have the best phone on the market hands down.
