Something is glitching
on June 8, 2026
Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy Ai is awesome! You can take a selfie and the AI populated your selfie into photos. Very cool! Over the past few days my phone has been glitchy though. I have McAfee Anti-virus installed as an app on my phone so I know it's not a virus BUT my screen all of the sudden freezes and becomes unresponsive for no apparent reason. It's a very concerning problem given the price of this phone.

Lots of great new features
on March 7, 2026
Posted by: Kelita
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I noticed when I moved my esim over was the ability to choose which SIM card I wanted to use for either the phone, texting, or data. As I use two sim cards, this is a huge improvement to me alone. I took it to work and everybody wanted to see the new privacy screen feature and that's really cool too. I'm coming from the S25 ultra and I actually find this phone easier to use with more features that are usable to me as well. I am definitely not let down!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung has been my go to phone for years. The Note Series has always been my favorite and the new S26 Ultra keeps that feeling going. Here are my initial likes and dislikes:
Likes-:
-Rounded design feels better in the hand
-Super Crisp Screen
-Built in Privacy Display
-Matte Finish
-Galaxy AI is King and this makes editing and normal tasks that much easier

The phone is solid and can go toe-to-toe with anything else. Keep listening to the consumer and keep making the great devices!!!

So far no major issues
on March 8, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy AI has helped in the few times I've used it.
The privacy settings for the screen is not as good as hoped. It does make it harder to see by other people, but it also makes it harder for you to see things clearly on the screen, especially pictures.
Transferring from the Galaxy S25 Ultra was pretty quick (not sure if the Galaxy AI is used for this) and mostly easy with the Smart Switch app using a usb cable. It took less than an hour.
The only problem I had was transferring my Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025), which took several attempts before it finally completed. Getting it finally work was not intuitive, I had to change a setting but don't remember what it was now, and I did not see the ability to transfer it in the Watch settings until I looked at the "About" for something else and it was at the bottom under the additional features.
My Samsung Galaxy Ring and Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro transferred without an issue. My Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro installed without an issue.
Even the connection to my Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 was easy.
The photo is with the standard privacy settng on.

I wish Samsung would bring back the Orange color that was available for the Galaxy S24 Ultra. It was one of the best colors Samsung has ever had.

Great product on hand but SAD...
on March 9, 2026
Posted by: TunaGalaxy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a long-time Samsung user, I was disappointed to see the S Pen no longer includes remote control functionality from S25 ultra and now S26 Ultra. The Bluetooth remote feature was one of the most unique and useful aspects of the S Pen. It allowed users to take photos remotely, control presentations, and navigate media. Removing this feature reduces the overall functionality and innovation that many loyal users appreciated.
Another concern is that the battery capacity remains the same while the phone itself has become morepowerful. With increased screen size and power demands, many users expected a battery upgrade to support longer usage throughout the day. Keeping the same capacity feels like a missed opportunity to improve real-world performance.
Additionally, the change in materials raises questions. Replacing aluminum with titanium does improve durability, but it doesn’t necessarily feel more luxurious. In fact, titanium can sometimes make the device feel more industrial rather than premium. Many users valued the sleek and refined finish that aluminum provided.
Samsung has always been known for pushing innovation forward, especially in the Galaxy Note and Ultra lines. I hope future models will consider bringing back the full-featured S Pen, improving battery capacity, and continuing to refine the premium feel that made these devices stand out.
Thank you for listening to customer feedback and continuing to improve your products.
