[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am glad I chose to upgrade from the base galaxy s24 to the galaxy s26 ultra. There is major improvement in the screen size and hardware which is a big bonus for me because I love playing video games on my phone so it's nice to have a beast of a machine in my hands. It makes the newest mobile titles feel like console quality games. I love the bright and vivid screen for watching my favorite YouTubers and Netflix shows/movies I can't forget to mention the beautiful loud speakers which makes everything feel super immersive. I like the ai features of the phone it definitely improved a lot over the years kinda makes me wish we had these features on the galaxy s5 which was my first Samsung phone. Overall I really recommend this phone to anyone who is looking for some serious power.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My S26 Ultra is the best purchase I have currently done in a while. The performance is top-notch. I could use it for gaming and productivity. The dual-screen option is also very helpful, I could watch a video or be in a video call on the top half and make notes on the lower half. As for gaming, I can make the graphic settings to ultra without any drop in performance and without closing background apps to improve performance, this phone can handle it. Battery life is great as well, gaming can take up to 6 hours before charging and productivity can take more than 8 hours. The camera quality is great as well. The pictures taken are detailed and even in 100x zoom, photos are still detailed compared to other phones. I would stick to samsung for quality, performance and budget. I'm happy that I chose Samsung and will stick with Samsung.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Galaxy S26 Ultra because of the larger screen, fast processor, and the advanced AI features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone as a phone. I play limited games. And I do Facebook. It's difficult to find things to help you fix things. Fancy isn't everything. KISS applies but that's not what you did. I've loved my previous Samsung phones. This one not so much. I know I won't win a prize, but I wanted to be honest.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been fan of the brand since the Samsung Galaxy S2, the only thing I would ask Samsung is to squeeze the camaras in without sacrifice quality.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I picked up the S26 Ultra (1TB, 16GB of RAM) a few months ago, the price tag aligned with the specs. For me it's worth it, but to anyone that isn't a "power user" it probably wouldn't be. I'm able to emulate games up to the GameCube (I haven't tried anything newer than that) and I have no lag, the battery lasts a fair amount while gaming (in performance mode). Gets a little warm when really pushing it. But it's handled everything really good that I've thrown at it.
And I came from the S23 Ultra, pretty big upgrade and noticeable difference. Oh, also, really well rounded corners, no curved screen .. All welcome changes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all Samsung is and always will be my go to for my devices, I had the galaxy s24 plus and decided to upgrade. I can't believe how amazing the galaxy s26 ultra is, and I am so happy that I Chose to do the upgrade. The camera alone is worth the price in my opinion. However the device is so much more. The speed in which I can look things up online, or the amazing AI (I literally use daily) makes everyday life easier. Just about everyday, I find a new practical use for my s26 ultra. And I do know I have barely scratched the surface. So happy that I chose the s26 ultra, and absolutely love it. I suggested the same device to my friend when she was considering an upgrade, and yes she loves it as well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to upgrade to the S26 Ultra from an S21 because it's a better version of an already excellent phone. There's nothing not to like, from the day 1 ease of switching with smartswitch, this phone is easy to use and does it all.
