Galaxy S26 Ultra vs Galaxy S23 Ultra

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI is definitely a game changer! I recently upgraded from Galaxy S23 Ultra. Here’s the quick breakdown of my new Galaxy S26 Ultra. Since it has a much newer brain, the S26 Ultra runs Galaxy AI features instantly on the device. It has tools like "Now Nudge" which scans what's on your screen to suggest calendar events or directions, awesome object-moving photo editors, and killer tools for translating calls or summarizing voice notes.
My old S23 Ultra was a heavy, boxy tank with curved edges. I like it that the new S26 Ultra is noticeably slimmer, lighter, and completely flat, which makes using the S Pen a lot easier. Plus, the screen is way brighter and doesn't glare in the sun. It’s incredibly fast, runs cooler, and finally charges much quicker. It gets to 75% in about 30 minutes while charging it . I don't like the fact that the S Pen dropped its Bluetooth remote features (like clicking to take a photo), but it still writes great. Honestly, this is the only letdown for me. I don't know why Samsung did that! While both have a 200MP main camera, the S26 Ultra takes much better low-light shots. It swaps out the old 10x zoom lens for a higher-quality 5x lens that uses smart cropping to get cleaner close-ups, and the ultrawide lens gets a huge quality boost. I’m super glad I upgraded. The S23 Ultra was a classic, but the S26 Ultra just feels like a much more polished, smart, and comfortable phone for the long haul.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I hold the Galaxy S26 Ultra I have premium feeling. The phone is just great! Very responsive, it seems everything is just flying. Started using Bixby and Galaxy AI features to control the phone with my voice and it is great. Overall great experience. I wonder now what it would be to have the Galaxy Fold.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Galaxy S26 Ultra! It's exactly what I needed in my busy lifestyle. I'm enjoying a lot of the Galaxy AI features. My favorite is Browsing Assist but I've also enjoyed using writing assist and note assist to keep me organized and productive at work. I love the ability to do quick notes with my stylus. I haven't had the opportunity to check out a lot of the other features on my S26 Ultra but I'm excited to use and learn more.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for a while now, and overall I'm very impressed. The display is absolutely stunning, with vibrant colors, excellent brightness, and smooth performance thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate. Everything feels fast and responsive, whether I'm gaming, multitasking, or just browsing social media.
The camera system is one of the biggest highlights. Photos come out sharp and detailed in almost every lighting condition, and the zoom capabilities are incredible. Battery life is also excellent, easily lasting me through a full day of heavy use.
The S Pen remains a useful addition for taking notes, editing photos, and boosting productivity. The build quality feels premium, and Samsung's software offers plenty of features while remaining smooth and reliable.
My only complaints are the high price and the fact that some upgrades over the previous generation feel more like refinements than major changes. Still, if you're looking for one of the best Android smartphones available, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is an outstanding choice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is incredibly good. The camera features are very good and the pictures are very clear. I like the privacy display as well. I can now type messages, look at my bank account without prying eyes. And now the best part, the battery life on the S26 Ultra is like no other phone I ever had. This thing will last all day with constant charging. I can watch movies, listen to music, scroll social media and I will don't have to worry about the phone running out of charges. Samsung has created a powerful machine. Way to go Samsung.
