If they only brought back old features
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: Tiff918
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The battery compared to my previous phone is so much better especially running certain apps that usually drains it so fast, like games and shows that I binge. The galaxy ai doesn't change too much of my normal experience but it does have a hard time predicting what I type. The s-pen, boy i wish they brought back the bluetooth. The s-pen had more use and the reason for it back then. Now its like a fixable stylus. It's like I can use any 3rd party stylus in its place and still get the same thing besides the button. The fingerprint scanner on the screen lacks because it doesn't read as well like when it was on the button or exterior of the phone. The camera being so low that when I want to use anything magnetic (magsafe cases) to pair with things like a portable charger, it has to be round or squared because a regular battery pack is going to block or hit the camera. I also don't like how much the camera is protruding. I cannot lay my phone flat unless I use the screen side.

Innovative

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from an s24ultra, I thought the s26ultra would not be the best looking phone and honestly thought I would hate the rounded corners because the boxyness of the older phones was a feature I loved. But I was wrong. The s26ultra is a really pretty phone and I find myself looking at it very often.
I use the s26ultra as an everyday device. It does everything that I need. If I wanna read books, If I want to watch YouTube, and If I want to play games mobile games, I do that with ease. The Galaxy AI is on another level. I have generated wallpapers that I just couldn't find anywhere else, I have deleted things I didn't want in the photo. It's actually mind blowing feature.
I know the biggest thing so far that people have talked about on this phone is the privacy display and I am going to get into that. However, I don't want to talk too much about it because I do feel like a lot of people have said enough. So here I'm just gonna say that the privacy display is absolutely amazing. Being able to go into a banking app and not have to worry about someone seeing my screen is one of the best feelings. The privacy display is something that I've never wanted, but when I got, I was very happy and very surprised, and it's probably something that I cannot go without.
Lastly, barely anyone has talked of this, but the camera. One of the biggest improvements between the s24ultra and this phone. The camera is much better at capturing dark areas and not losing depth. I love it.

This is a much better experience than I expected!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a Samsung user since 2007. My first Samsung phone was a prepaid flip phone that my grandparents got me. And every single phone I have had has been a Samsung. From prepaid phones, to ler and market and then my very first Flagship being the Note 5 in 2016. And I've been on that note stylus game since then. I've upgraded from my s23 ultra to the new s26 ultra. And this phone has been so great! It's so much more Compact and lighter in my hand than my s23. It reminds me a lot of my Note 5 which feels nostalgic, and reminds me why I love Samsung so much! Because it feels greatly hand, but with the rounded and Industrial design. It feels innovative still, with its new Ai Futures which makes it so much more exciting like when I first got my note 5. I love that I still have futures from copy and paste from my TabS7+ to my s26, something I will never get tired of! And of course the connectivity from my new buds 4 which sound great! And I'm excited to experience Dex with my S26 Ultra to my M8 smart monitor. The ecosystem of Samsung never fails because it's always so seamless and so easy!

My Ultra 26
on March 18, 2026
Posted by: MclovenSamsung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my new Galaxy 26 Ultra, I just got it a couple of days ago and loving it so far but one thing I tried the privacy setting and it did not provide the privacy it states. You either have it to so you can see the screen tinted or a wash out white screen which doesn't look good. Colors could of been better and more of a variety but I will try and get the most out this device. I haven't yet tried the GalaxyAi but will take her for a spin soon.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The speed, screen, speakers and battery make this phone a worthy upgrade to my s24 ultra. Galaxy AI has matured to a level unseen on other phones.

Great performance, smooth and reliable device now!
on March 18, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This device has been a great upgrade for my daily use. The performance is fast and smooth, allowing me to multitask easily between apps without any lag. I use it for everything—streaming movies, browsing social media, managing work tasks, and even light gaming—and it handles all of it effortlessly.
The display is bright, sharp, and includes a privacy-focused design that makes it harder for others to see your screen from the sides, which is very useful in public places. This gives me extra confidence when handling personal or work information on my phone.
Battery life is reliable and lasts through the day with regular use. One of my favorite features is Galaxy AI, which helps simplify tasks, improve productivity, and makes the overall experience feel more advanced and user-friendly.
The camera quality is excellent, capturing sharp and vibrant photos in different lighting conditions. Overall, this device offers a strong balance of performance, privacy, and useful features, making it a dependable and modern smartphone.
