Everyday camera that actually keeps up
on September 28, 2026
Posted by: Meganwildphotography
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and honestly, I chose Galaxy a long time ago. I've been on Galaxies since the original — Avatar and all — and I've never once wanted another brand. The photos are simply the best.
That's why I reach for it first. Close-up wildlife, no camera bag, no excuses. An iguana's scales, a mushroom's texture, a snake's eye in the moss — the detail holds, and the background stays clean when I want the subject to own the frame.
I stream, I watch movies, I use the S Pen to mark crops and jot notes. The battery carries a full day of shooting and editing. I'm still finding new features, and nothing has felt limited.
I chose this phone for the camera. It became everything else.

The Privacy Screen is Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the S26 Ultra because of the built-in privacy screen. It works great, even on its lower setting. The camera is also top notch!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung Galaxy S26 because I wanted a phone that would be easy to use throughout the day. So far, I’ve enjoyed its clean design and how smoothly it handles everyday tasks like messaging, browsing, and switching between apps. It feels like a worthwhile upgrade, and I’m happy with my choice.

Incredible upgrade
on September 28, 2026
Posted by: XSALO1
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Moving from the S22 Ultra to the S26 Ultra has been a much more meaningful upgrade than expected. I chose the S26 Ultra because I wanted improvements that would actually make everyday use better, and the faster performance, better battery efficiency, improved camera, brighter display, and smoother multitasking do exactly that. Everything feels quicker, more responsive, and easier to use.

Most complete phone I've ever used!
on September 28, 2026
Posted by: jcrabapple
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've owned flagship phones for a decade and I chose the S26 Ultra for the battery and the long update commitment. A month in, it has exceeded every expectation.
The 6.9-inch display is the best I've used on any phone. Bright enough for direct sunlight, silky smooth, and the anti-reflective coating genuinely works. The Privacy Display turned out to be the surprise star: I use it constantly on planes and in waiting rooms, and hiding just notification previews instead of the whole screen is brilliant.
Performance is flawless. Photo editing, navigation, streaming, and a dozen tabs at once run without a stutter, and it stays cool. The cameras are the reason I'd buy it again: my daughter's evening soccer games used to be impossible to shoot, and the wider aperture now captures them bright and sharp. The 10x zoom made my kid's band concert from the back row look like front-row seats.
Faster charging gets me 75% in about 30 minutes, the lighter rounded design is the most comfortable Ultra yet, and the S Pen still justifies the upgrade on its own. Galaxy AI features like transcript summaries and photo cleanup have quietly become daily tools.
This is the most complete phone I've owned. Five stars.

Choosing S26 was a no-brainer
on September 28, 2026
Posted by: SamsungFanatic
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been a samsung fanatic since the slide phones many years ago. I had every note that came out and then the S series. I was excited when the pen came with the S series. I know there is a competing market for smart phones but I chose Samsung. I've experienced other brands I have been super disappointed. Samsung has always exceeded my expectations and I cannot wait to get the new S27 when it arrives in Feb. As a fan that has always had Samsung electronics , which includes . My entire kitchen , washer and dryer , vacuum, hair dryer , earbuds , TVs and watches. I will always choose Samsung. Never disappointed, always amazes me! I chose samsung!

The features on this phone...wow!
on September 28, 2026
Posted by: saosaoirse
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to upgrade because my last phone was actively dying on me and I needed something that would last me a few years. Then, I saw the S26 Ultra and I was sold. The battery life, the screen size, the pen, the cameras! The smooth transitions between apps. I have friends who have iphones and they're jealous of the camera quality and the battery life. Safe to say, I chose the perfect phone.
