Great improvements to this phone!
on April 27, 2026
Posted by: Stashe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new Samsung 26 Ultra. There are so many great features, some that I wished for in the past and others that I never knew I needed. The phone is fast, helpful and doesn't die. I watch movies and tv on my phone. The download soeeds prevent any drag, delay, or spinning things in the middle of my screen. There are different sound and video effects you can choose to get the best experience while watching a movie. There are so many great AI features. Easily edit photos by erasing unwanted objects or blur the background to maintain a focus on the main subject. I don't have to worry about answering calls from unknown numbers because my phone screens the call and either pushes it through to me or sends it to voicemail if it is spam. Until you experience screened calls, you can't possibly understand! The last thing, and the best thing, in my opinion is the battery life. I am on my phone most of the day and do not consistently charge it in between uses, but the lowest my battery has gone is 19% after a VERY heavy use day. The battery optimizer app gives me great suggestions on how to improve battery life. I can only imagine how long my battery would last if I applied the suggestions. Overall, Samsung has done a fantastic job with this phone. I highly suggest you upgrade or switch over now!

S26 Ultra fast and reliable every expectation met.
on April 27, 2026
Posted by: HappyandsatisfiedinTexas
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I couldn't be more happy and all my expectations of my new S26 Ultra have been met. I usually stream one or two movies a day. And I have not had any issues with my device. I have accidentally dropped my cell a couple of times but nothing has happened to my phone. The craftsmanship is top notch, as I have come to expect from Samsung. I also watch tik tok on a daily bases with no issues. Never slowing down or any other problem. The systems battery has also been great. The battery lasts forever it seems. It rarely goes below 80 percent. I was extremely surprised with that. I have used the systems AI and it is upto par with the rest of the AI platforms in the market. Couldn't be anymore happy with it as well. Over all I would give the Samsung S26 Ultra a 10 out of 10.

Galaxy S26 Ultra is Ultra!
on April 27, 2026
Posted by: Peaches
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love my new Galaxy S26 Ultra. There cameras makes very nice/ clear/ sharp pictures. What makes it fun is the photo editing. Another feature I enjoy is the Privacy setting. Especially since more and more I find myself having to access my bank accounts, medical information and other personal information I need while away from home during my busy days. This feature gives me an added sense of security! I haven't gotten AI much into AI with my phone yet but plan on doing so soon. I'm sure I will be equally if not more pleased with the AI features.

Samsung S26 ultra
on April 27, 2026
Posted by: S26ultra777
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Trade in my S24 Ultra for the new S26 Ultra. Love to the new phone. It isuch faster, smoother, lighter and easy to hold on my hand. The AI features are awesome, still learning to use them all. Camera is great.
I continue tweaking the features settings to learn and for my liking.
Watch may YouTube videos to find out new features that I do not even know.
The privacy display is ok for me.
So far, love it.

Amazing phone
on April 27, 2026
Posted by: DakotaFireStorm
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra paired with the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro feels like a system that moves at my pace. With Galaxy AI, everyday tasks get lighter. Messages are refined instantly, long conversations turn into quick summaries, and real-time translation keeps everything flowing without interruption.
What really stands out this year is the hardware jump. The S26 Ultra brings increased RAM and a more powerful chipset, so everything feels faster, smoother, and more responsive under load, whether I’m multitasking or gaming. On top of that, the new built-in Privacy Display adds a layer of control I didn’t know I needed, keeping my screen protected in public without sacrificing clarity. It can use a bit more optimization so it doesn't use so much ram to fast.
For streaming, gaming, and sports, this combo hits hard. The S26 Ultra’s display is sharp and immersive, while the Buds 4 Pro deliver rich sound with strong noise cancellation that blocks out distractions. Movies feel cinematic, games stay fluid, and everything just flows.
For work and daily life, it’s efficient without trying too hard. Calls are clear, notes and edits happen instantly, and AI tools keep me focused. The camera captures detail effortlessly, and Galaxy AI enhances it naturally.
It’s not just powerful, it’s cohesive. The S26 Ultra and Buds 4 Pro sync into my routine and quietly elevate everything I do.
