While this phone is MUCH LIGHTER and a bit smaller than my S24 Ultra I'm returning it, Night Photography is TERRIBLE on the S26 Ultra. I take ALOT of pics, and it made the sky look like daylight with Stars. My S24 Ultra takes WAY BETTER Sky Shots, also when applying "Comfort Shield" and "Extra Dim" for use at bed time it made everything look Grey. With certain things in color which I didn't like, and due to the RIDICULOUS Camera Island NO CASE will protect the cameras because they protrude from the phone. This also causes the phone to rock when you put it down on a flat surface, VERY DISAPPOINTED cus I was looking forward to the camera improvements. But really saw no difference between the S26 Ultra and my S24 Ultra, excpet "Sky Shots" were HORRIBLE. ALSO IS NOT "Macro Photography" capable like I read it is

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for a short time, I can confidently say that it is one of the most impressive smartphones I have ever owned. From the moment I unboxed it, the phone felt premium, powerful, and thoughtfully designed. Samsung has clearly put a lot of effort into refining both the hardware and software, and the result is a device that feels truly next-level. The first thing that stood out to me was the design. The phone has a sleek and elegant appearance, and it feels very solid in the hand. Despite having a large screen, it is comfortable to hold and use. The display is absolutely stunning. The colors are vibrant, the brightness is excellent, and everything from videos to photos looks incredibly sharp. Whether watching movies, browsing the web, or reading documents, the display provides an immersive experience. Performance is another area where the Galaxy S26 Ultra shines. The phone is extremely fast and responsive. Apps open instantly, multitasking is smooth, and even demanding applications run without any lag. Everything feels fluid and efficient. This level of performance makes daily tasks effortless and enjoyable. The camera system is one of the biggest highlights of this phone. Samsung continues to push the boundaries of smartphone photography, and the S26 Ultra delivers outstanding results. Photos are sharp, detailed, and vibrant even in challenging lighting conditions. Night photography is particularly impressive, producing bright and clear image

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got my Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and it’s seriously impressive.
First thing I noticed is how light it feels for such a big phone. The design is sleek and comfortable, even with the massive display.
The new Galaxy AI features are actually useful too. From smart photo editing to helpful suggestions while you’re using apps, it feels like the phone is working with you instead of just being a device.
Another standout feature is the Privacy Display. It limits the viewing angles so people around you can’t easily see your screen. Super helpful when checking messages or emails in public.
Add in the gorgeous display, powerful cameras, and strong performance.
Overall: Powerful, smart, and surprisingly light. Definitely a top-tier

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Galaxy AI. The transfer of data from my old Samsung was seamless. The picture quality is way better than the S22.

I use my Samsung device for a little bit of everything—streaming movies and shows, watching sports, gaming, and I use it daily for work and overall life.
The performance is smooth even when multitasking, and the display looks amazing when watching videos or highlights. One of my favorite features is Galaxy AI. It helps with things like improving photos and making everyday tasks quicker and easier.
Overall, upgrading from my S24 Ultra was definitely worth it. My Samsung device fits perfectly into my daily routine, and Galaxy AI adds a really helpful and convenient touch.
