I love this upgrade
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Lexiloo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a samsung user for close to 10 years. I previously had the Samsung s24 ultra and while I loved the phone and the camera, I wanted to treat myself to something new with the previous phone having just been paid off. I loved the advertised feature of the privacy screen turn on. I can turn it on while at work and leave it off at home. I love having the freedom to change the quality of my screen viewing experience compared to continuously having a privacy screen protector on my phone all of the time. The reviews of the loss of color on the phone are valid because in comparison to the screen without the privacy feature, there is a difference. But when you're and individual who really only wants it on while out in public or work, i love having the ability to choose it only for specific apps or easily turn it on or off at work. While I havent noted much of a difference from he Galaxy AI experience from my S24ultra to this phone, I have noticed much faster use of AI search ability and overall use and understanding of this phone. Plus the rounded corners feel much better to hold when in use. I'm so happy!

Good hardware, frustrating software
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: BixDeezNutz
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The s26 ultra is a capable phone, especially in the US market where more advanced hardware is unavailable. The interface is snappy, the screen is excellent, and the build quality is sturdy. I use the phone across business and personal activities, and it switches between the apps well.
Unfortunately, the software and industry's incessant push for all things AI (Galaxy AI in this case) mars a clean slate. From the moment of setup, the offers of "help" never end, like a sugar-addled preschooler who can't stay out of the kitchen. Transitioning from a Google Pixel has also been a challenge, as the ghost of Gemini also vies for attention. Meanwhile, simple instructions you could actually expect a 5 year old to help with, such as "call grandma", present insurmountable challenges.

Great phone with amazing privacy features
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: GalaxyFanJ92
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m really happy with this Samsung phone. It looks great, feels premium, and works very smoothly every day. I use it for work, watching videos, browsing, and staying connected, and it has been fast and reliable for everything I need.
One of the things I like the most is Galaxy AI. It makes the phone feel more advanced and helpful in everyday use. I’m also really impressed with the new privacy features. They make me feel more secure and comfortable when using my phone for personal things, and that gives me a lot of confidence.
The screen is beautiful, the performance is excellent, and the overall experience has been amazing. Samsung really did a great job with this device. I’m honestly very satisfied and enjoying it a lot.

Great cameras, fantastic privacy screen
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Geffery
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for a little while now and overall I’m really impressed. The phone feels super fast and the screen is amazing as usual with Samsung’s Ultra models. Everything from scrolling to switching between apps feels really smooth.
One of the coolest parts is Samsung Galaxy AI. Some of the AI features actually feel useful instead of just gimmicks. I’ve used the photo editing tools to remove objects from pictures and it works surprisingly well. The translation and search features are also nice when browsing or messaging.
The camera is another highlight. Photos look really sharp and the zoom is still one of the best on any phone. Night photos also come out clearer than my previous phone.
Battery life has been solid for me, easily lasting a full day with normal use. The phone is big and a little heavy, but that’s pretty normal for the Ultra series.
Overall, if you like big phones with great cameras and want to try some of the new AI features, the S26 Ultra is definitely worth it. It feels like a powerful phone that will stay relevant for a few years

S26 Ultra phone
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Toastedsandwixh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved the S24 Ultra & thought I wouldn't upgrade until the 26 was announced with the privacy display. With the new tech & understanding how to implement it into my life, it's a great upgrade for me. Screen upgrade & camera upgrade are genuinely a positive compared to the 2 year old tech used from then. Still sad about not having the Bluetooth pen but my galaxy watch is a good enough supplement for photo taking.

Pretty Much Happy
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Jolley
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the most part I'm PLESENTLY surprised how well I like the function and screen of this phone, but I have to put this out there for you guys, I understand that your trying to offer a "slim" line but I really don't want my phone thinner, lighter, or more rounded. The shape of the S25 was, in my opinion the perfect amount of rounded. I do like the edge radius that was added though. Please consider making an ULTRA + and thicken it back up, and return that weight that adds a premium solid feel and focus more on the phone sitting flat when laid on its back! Yall don't need to change your software any, I think that's a HOME RUN!!! I hope you at least consider these things Ive mentioned, for now I'm still a "Happy Samsung Customer"!;)
