Nice Upgrade From S22 Ultra
on April 16, 2026
Posted by: Fivefooter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Glad the curved edges are gone, and the newer size. Makes the phone feel more solid and durable. Takes a little bit to get used to the new spen. One of the kool new features is you can have 2 esims active and working at the same time.

Great phone!
on May 4, 2026
Posted by: HonestT38
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from a S22 Ultra to the new S26 Ultra.... And wow, what a difference! Screen clean and flat (which I prefer the flat edges), very fast and lots more memory/ram. I use Galaxy AI a lot more now and it's wonderful. I have always loved the Samsung Galaxy lines. New privacy screen option is *chef's kiss*. Only downside is the 5000mh battery life is the same from my S22U, but still has a lot of power life!!

Fingerprint sensor terrible and general performanc
on May 10, 2026
Posted by: MICHAEL
from Crofton, MD
The fingerprint sensor on the S26 Ultra is terrible. Only works about 10% of the time. I wish I did not buy this phone and stuck with my S21 Ultra. I really don't see any performance increases from my S21. As of now, this will probably be my last Samsung phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Samsung s26 ultra
on May 22, 2026
Posted by: Tootie
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone would've been a awesome phone line but when samsung took away consumers freedom of choice it placed a bitter sweet taste in my mouth and if samsung keep this up with Google then I'm afraid that I'm going to have to jump ship cause the appearance of the phone is a typical samsung design.

Horrible display panel
on March 23, 2026
Posted by: humour412
from MD
Display panel with new hardware tech to accommodate a privacy display feature causes very visible shimmering / fuzziness around characters or icons for example. Very uncomfortable to read any type of text. Phone was returned.
