Will always love Samsung
on September 7, 2026
Posted by: Samsung4Life
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the S24 Ultra to the S26 Ultra. I received my phone the day of the drop. Really no major issues but have had a few hiccups with the screen just not letting me do anything for a couple of seconds would be completely black, or I can close an app and the video sound would be still playing in the background. Only way to turn it off is to restart the phone. Other than that I'm still happy with my phone.

Here is an updated breakdown of the pros and cons, written from the perspective of someone who owns and uses both the Ultra and Plus models side by side:
Pros:

Privacy Display: Hardware-level angle blocking keeps sensitive apps hidden from onlookers.
Faster Charging: 60\text{W} wired charging (75\% in ~30 min) and Qi2 25\text{W} wireless support.
Cons:

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The galaxy s26 is a fantastic upgrade over the s25!
The zoom is amazing and I'm loving the AI editing tools.I went to the beach and made great photos that I could fix the glare with.The 8k and super slow motion made sure I didn't miss anything.

Great phone with lots of horsepower
on September 7, 2026
Posted by: Levolution
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the samsung s26 ultra because I want a work horse device i can use for every day life and work when I need it. But also to play games. Some programs I require utilize the high amount of ram this device provides and is able to still multitasking as a phone when I need it.
It also has a phenomenal camera for when I take photos of the kids and family moments I want to capture. Definitely yhe only model I've been satisfied with and excited for when they announce new features for upcoming models.

A great upgrade from my S22 Ultra
on September 7, 2026
Posted by: Sfansincethenexus
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using my 22 ultra for 3 years I chose to upgrade to the 26 Ultra this spring. The 22 Ultra had served me well and after accepting that I could live without the Bluetooth functions of my S pen I made the switch.
I chose to get the 1TB model for the ram bump and so I could stop relying so heavily on cloud storage. The speed at which this phone works is a big upgrade to what I was used to.
I gave the phone 4 stars because of the camera and specifically it's white balance issues. I had the same problem with my S22 Ultra and I had hoped that in 4 generations they would find a way for the camera to recognize colors like aqua and teal without just converting to another secondary color. I hope that an update can fix how pictures are processed but I doubt it will happen.
The battery life is great as is the screen. I do wish the charger required to fully utilize its charging speed was included, but I have my 45w from my S 22 Ultra.
still.
still.
I don't regret upgrading one but and minus the color processing issues love everything about this phone. I would recommend it to anyone who is a power user.
