Great phone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded from Galaxy S23 Ultra and it was such a smooth transition. Smart Switch made it seem like I was on the same device, just with faster processing and a longer battery! Galaxy AI can be a useful tool.
The only downside to the S26 Ultra so far is the rounded corners. On my S23, it had square corners. Where the S-Pen fits on the S23, the base of the pen was flat and flush along the base of the phone. I never had to worry about the direction the pen was going in. With the S26, however, the corners are rounded so the S-Pen's base is also rounded. As such, the pen only fits in going a specific direction and I have to make sure I'm doing it the right way. I much preferred the S23 S-Pen positioning.

Better than I expected

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are so many great things to say about this phone! I upgraded from an S22 Ultra and have been blown away by all the cool new features.
The camera and battery life are so much better.
I was hesitant about Galaxy AI at first but it's fun to mess around with and is extremely convenient for things like screening spam calls or reducing light pollution in pictures I've taken at night.
The privacy setting is also great whenever I use a bank app or am entering a password or pin! (Or when I'm at the gym watching anime and don't want anyone else seeing it when I'm on the elliptical haha).
One thing I've loved is the new update to messaging. The default app uses rcs instead of SMS which has been great for group chats with my family. No more "mom liked..." And then quoting my entire message back to me (I'm the only one in the family that uses Android).
This has been a fantastic upgrade.

Privacy mode is definitely a game changetlr.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sometime when in a public setting like a waiting room. I don't want people to over look what I'm doing on my phone. The privacy mode is the next best thing. This will set the new standard feature every other phone will follow. Let's not forget Galaxy Ai, the more you use it. The better it gets.

Best performance and design
on April 27, 2026
Posted by: Done93
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Galaxy S26 Ultra for a while now, and there is a lot to love. The daily performance is incredibly fast, handling everything I throw at it effortlessly. The design is sleek and the display is absolutely beautiful. However, I have to make my position clear: I am strongly disappointed that Samsung discontinued the titanium frame for this model. For an "Ultra" flagship device, stepping back to aluminum feels like a downgrade in premium quality. The phone itself is a powerhouse, but dropping the titanium was a mistake. Samsung, please bring it back to the Ultra lineup!
