Jaw dropping stunner!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI at its finest! When I upgrade models I usually expect there to only be a few slight changes or improvements from year to year. So when I upgraded to the 26 ultra I was surprised to find that there was actually quite a vast number of improvements. Overly happy! Thank you once again Samsung!

Good phone! But some compromises!
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The phone has great battery life and feels good in the hand! Coming from the SSD Ultra it's a pretty decent upgrade. Honestly not really noticing much of a change in camera quality but I haven't had many opportunities to use the cameras yet. Galaxy AI got a lot of updates, but I feel like it really doesn't change much about my daily routine. As a student who also has clinic twice a week the battery lasts forever! I get more than 24 hrs off the charger WITH 6+ hours of screen on time. The privacy display is a little gimmicky but is nice to hide your passwords and notifications from nosy people. I wouldn't say it's worth buying the phone for. My biggest gripes are the bigger camera bump and the side buttons. The phone wobbles so much even with a case and the buttons are a little too easy to press. I accidentally lock the screen all the time because the actuation force on the buttons are a little light. All in all, I'm really happy with the phone and the battery life and feel in the hand are improvements that I feel daily.

Mostly Excited

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I assumed that the screen protector that came on the s26 ultra was transparent or mostly transparent. Instead, it was black. Due to this problem, I couldn't see the screen and therefore thought my phone was not turning on. Otherwise, excellent!

Screen issues
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Whywhy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new privacy feature makes the screen blurry and dim even when the feature is off. This is a terrible compromise for a useless feature.

Great new phone
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Schlunger
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love the new phone. The privacy display is very nice as someone who is regularly out in public on my phone. Galaxy AI introduces new features, including now nudge, so that's been nice as well when it's popped up. The camera improvements are huge, I'd recommend the phone based on that alone, and so many other things make it a great experience

This product has the coolest privacy screen
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Maggie
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] "Galaxy AI" has two features I really like: creative studio and interpreter. I tried the interpreter few times by speaking in Chinese to translate to English and it works as well as Google.
The other function I think the coolest features so far among all phones out there is "privacy screen" and it works perfectly.
The camera also works well. The photos and videos are good with the details.
So far, I enjoy this phone and will continue using it for streaming and gaming to see if it works well too.
One downside is it turns hot quickly when the sun is up and I am inside the car which is quite weird.

Best Phone Ever !
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Sebastian
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is an absolute powerhouse. The performance is incredibly smooth thanks to its next-gen processor, and everything from gaming to multitasking feels effortless.
The Galaxy AI is over the top amazing with super fast edits for pictures and videos as well as blending pictures together to create really unique examples. The camera system is outstanding, delivering sharp, vibrant photos even in low light, while the display is bright, crisp, and perfect for everyday use.
Battery life easily lasts all day, and the fast charging is a huge bonus. Overall, it’s a premium phone that excels in every area and truly feels like a top-tier flagship.
I absolutely love my new S26 Ultra !
