[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I traded in my S24 Ultra for the S26 Ultra, and the features did not disappoint. The camera is improved, and the Galaxy AI is awesome. Being able to create and customize your own stickers in Creative Studio is a game-changer for me. The privacy display is also cool, and the battery seems to last longer than I expected. I also like the circular design at the edge.
But I do wish they would bring back the Bluetooth on the S Pen.

Could be better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the phone since March 10th, so just over a week. So far, I'm not seeing much difference between the S26 Ultra and the S24 Ultra I traded in. I do feel like the screen resolution was better on the 24. I think it's because of the new privacy screen capabilities. I do not use it, but it does seem to affect the overall quality of the screen resolution. The only AI feature I have used is the audio eraser. It's great for removing background noise in videos either in your gallery or on YouTube. Overall, I don't think the S26 Ultra was much of an upgrade from the S24 Ultra I had before. I was hoping the new Samsung phones would have Qi2/magsafe technology built in, but it does not. With a magsafe case, which Samsung does have, Qi2 accessories do work, but I cannot use this technology with any case.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This device truly excels when it comes to photography, capturing stunning detail and vibrant colors in every shot. The battery life is also remarkably impressive, easily lasting through a full day of heavy use. I've found that Galaxy AI features enhance the overall user experience significantly. The intuitive interface and robust performance make it a joy to use daily. Overall, it's a top-tier smartphone that delivers on all fronts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are no words to describe the S26 ultra. I've been a longtime fan of the samsung series since the s2 and I have been loyal since, but this s26ultra, it just feels so futuristic beyond its time from Galaxy Ai to the speed of its functions and capabilities and the cameras everything is beyond WOW! I also love the new display I feel it's a higher quality of picture and the privacy options are a plus and definitely is a upgrade from my s24 ultra I also feel like the biometrics have improved and work easier i look forward to enjoying my new s26ultra and to see what samsung has next!

Amazing phone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been loyal to the Galaxy S series since the S7. I wasn't planning on upgrading from my S22+, but when I saw the ad for the S26 ultra, I had to have it. I'm big on privacy and the built in privacy screen as awesome! The camera is way better than what I'm used to and the battery lasts all day for me. Still learning the AI aspects, but they have been so helpful in creating photos and with searches. I'm glad I got this phone!

Love this phone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this phone daily for content creation, social media, and everyday life, and it’s easily the best upgrade I’ve made. The performance is insanely fast, and everything from editing videos to multitasking feels smooth. The camera quality is a huge standout for me. I shoot a lot of car content, and the detail, stabilization, and low light performance make a big difference. It honestly replaced the need for extra gear in a lot of situations. Galaxy AI has been surprisingly useful too. I use it for quick edits, translations, and even helping clean up photos, which saves me a ton of time when I’m posting consistently. Battery life has been solid even with heavy use throughout the day, and the display is super bright and sharp whether I’m outside or editing content. Overall, this phone just makes everything easier. Whether it’s content creation, streaming, or everyday use, it handles it all without slowing down.
