The reason I chose the samsung s26 ultra.
on October 17, 2026
Posted by: SneakySnake
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The reason I chose the samsung s26 ultra was because it used to be my dream phone, then I finally got it, I have been loving it ever since I got it. The camera is my favorite part, I really love taking pictures and the s26 ultra has a lot of different setting for the camera which also make my pictures turn out really nice.

Best phone I've ever owned, hands down
on October 16, 2026
Posted by: Vixarra
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely obsessed with my Galaxy S26 Ultra. I love pretty much every feature on this thing — the customizability is unreal, you can make it feel like *your* phone in a way other phones just don't allow. It's reliable to a fault: everything works, every time, no weird glitches or laggy nonsense.
The battery life is genuinely impressive. It charges fast AND holds that charge for an extra long time — I can go through a heavy day and still have plenty left. The S Pen is one of my favorite things about it, and the camera? The amount of detail and control you get is incredible.
My one tiny gripe: the privacy screen. I wish it were solid black instead of that slightly hazy tint, because it mutes all the gorgeous colors on this display. But honestly, that's the only complaint I have.
Other than that, this phone is absolutely gorgeous and I couldn't be happier with it. Worth every penny.

Great model continuation
on October 16, 2026
Posted by: AndroidFTW
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really tempted to go with a Galaxy Fold model, but ultimately, I chose to stick with the S26 Ultra for the stylus. I use a lot of documents and take a lot of quick notes, and I wasn't ready to give that design feature up.
I have noticed 2 things.
The battery life seems to be much improved. I upgraded from the S22 Ultra, so it could be because my old phone battery was nearing end of life, but the S26 Ultra is handling my entire day without a charge.
The second might have been due to the large data transfer during initial setup, but this thing got HOT.
Otherwise, after a few days of use, great phone with no issues.

New galaxy s26 ultra
on October 16, 2026
Posted by: Wilowsgigi
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that I chose the newest updated galaxy s26 ultra in the color that I loved and wanted along with all of its newest technology that isn't too much for this old lady to set up and understand. Thank you for your quality, the best new features and the endurance to last more than it's payment plan. Love it and thank you. We have 6 of Samsungs products maybe more and we LOVE THEM ALL!

Always a Galaxy Girl
on October 16, 2026
Posted by: IowaLoveSamsung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have slowly seen the hype over the competition dwindle...people are starting to see the light and I am here for it.
I love sharing my fun tips, tricks, hacks, etc with my friends and coworkers. I choose to tell all the haters, 'they don't know what they're missing.' The ability to personalize, link to Google, and just overall functionality makes it an easy decision.
I hate to jinx it, but I have never had issues with linking to other apps, Bluetooth, wifi, etc.
I do miss the old days of a simple memory card with a ton of storage...but that's more because I'm old.

I Own the Galaxy S26 Ultra: Here’s What It’s Like
on October 16, 2026
Posted by: Photosbyetch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and concerts are why I love it. I’ve shot arena shows, clubs, and festivals, and this is the best phone camera I’ve used for live music.
The 200MP f/1.4 main sensor grabs light in dark venues. The 50MP 5x telephoto with f/2.9 is my go-to. From the upper bowl, 5x–10x gives clear faces, guitars, and stage details without noisy mush. The brighter telephoto means lower ISO, so zoomed shots stay sharp. 100x is emergency-only.
Low light is impressive. Lasers, smoke, and flashing lights don’t blow out, and dark backgrounds keep detail. Auto mode can blur fast performers, so I switch to Pro mode. Shutter at 1/250–1/400 freezes motion, and I drop exposure a touch to protect highlights. That’s how I get usable concert shots.
Video surprised me most. Stabilization is great, and Horizontal Lock keeps the frame level even when I’m bumped in a crowd. I stick to 10x–25x zoom for video—sharp and beautiful. One warning: AI Audio Eraser is too aggressive and kills bass and highs. I set the mic to Rear Mic manually. Then vocals and instruments sound full and real.
What I love: 5x–10x zoom is genuinely usable, Pro mode gives control, video stabilization is excellent, and low-light quality is a huge step up.
What annoys me: Auto mode struggles with motion, AI Audio Eraser needs work, and 100x zoom is not for printing.
I don’t bring a point-and-shoot anymore. The Galaxy S26 Ultra captures the energy of a live show, and that’s worth more than any spec sheet.Rating9.5/10

The screen view is amazing 👏🏾 🤩
on October 16, 2026
Posted by: Cortius
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having upgraded from a S21, this phone allowed me to have one of the smoothest transitions I've experienced in awhile with phone upgrading. The bigger screen was an added bonus.
