Big upgrade from S23 ultra.
on March 22, 2026
Posted by: Jumbocar
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from the S23 ultra, the S26 ultra is a much needed power boost. Phone feels much snappier and boots far quicker. The Galaxy AI is as good as it's always been and OneUI 8.5 is very sleek and modern. The one major downside is the Spen. It feels cheaper and the lack of Bluetooth really does suck.

S23 to S26 aaaaa PURE definition to Evolution
on March 22, 2026
Posted by: Nani3964
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I picked up the Galaxy S26 recently, and as someone who spends a lot of time on my motorcycle, this phone has completely changed how I capture and share my rides.
The camera is already amazing — I’ve been shooting POV clips and scenic stops, and the stabilization handles vibrations way better than I expected. But what really stands out is Galaxy AI — it’s not just a feature, it actually changes the whole experience.
After a ride, Galaxy AI helps me instantly enhance my photos and clips without needing extra apps. It cleans up lighting, sharpens details, and even suggests the best shots automatically. Editing used to take time, but now it’s almost instant.
One of the coolest parts is how Galaxy AI organizes everything for me. It groups my ride content, highlights key moments, and makes it super easy to put together something worth sharing without digging through my gallery.
Even during rides, it helps with smart suggestions, quick responses, and navigation support — so I’m not constantly stopping to figure things out.
Performance is super smooth too — I can run navigation, music, and record at the same time without any lag. The display is bright enough to see clearly even in direct sunlight, which is huge when you’re out riding.
Battery easily lasts through long rides, so I don’t have to worry about charging mid-day.
Overall, the Galaxy S26 feels like more than just a phone — with Galaxy AI, it actually works with me, especially for my motorcycle rides. It’s smarter, faster, a

Feature Request:Video Frame Interpolation on Phone
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: Blin980
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hi Samsung,
The Galaxy S26 Ultra does not feel like a major upgrade over the previous generation. There are not many standout improvements, and the move from a titanium frame to an aluminum frame makes it feel less premium.
I also feel that the privacy feature may have come at the cost of display quality, and the screen looks less impressive than the S25 Ultra. What I would really like to see instead is a video frame interpolation feature. Aside from communication, I mainly use my phone for listening to music and watching videos, so multimedia performance matters a lot to me.
Since Galaxy phones already have high-refresh-rate displays, video frame interpolation would make video playback smoother and improve the overall viewing experience.
Many other smartphone brands already offer similar features, so I hope Samsung will consider adding it as well, with an option for users to turn it on or off depending on their preference.

This product has good features
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: Dragon73
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far I like the S26 Ultra. Definitely could have used a bigger battery capacity. The privacy screen is nice. Gaming is great. Overall a good phone but definitely need Bluetooth back in the s pen and more battery life.

A much improved S24Ultra
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: Phranque
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved my S24Galaxy Ultra and felt that the new S26 Ultra was well worth getting. The transition was great, and everything transferred so easily, including Samsung pass. I had a hard time packing my s24 and sending it in for tradein, and I would have loved to keep it as a spare...But the new S26 quickly changed my mind.
I have had Samsung S Ultra phones since my Note 20, and love all the features available. I only wish I could use all of them easily. I love my Galaxy buds and Ai watches, and that completes my phone needs.
S26 is a terrific product, and is so much better than Iphones...

Great Upgrade from my S24 Ultra
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: LuvmyS26Ultra
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Besides its slightly thinner body, my new S26 Ultra has more rounded corners which combined with the newer Gorilla Armor front glass, the S26 Ultra will survive even harsher treament. Surviving 2M drops and scratches. The faster processor and memory really help the enhanced Galaxy AI features. Love using the AI on photos to search quickly. It is extremely accurate. I added the new Buds4 Pro. They look and perform great! Probably the best buds yet.
