Loving this phone!
on August 31, 2026
Posted by: PinkSRFloyd
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra in Sky Blue.
So far, I am thoroughly enjoying this phone! The pictures are gorgeous. The S-Pen is amazing. The Creative Studio is so much fun! I've been turning my fur babies into cartoons and drawings and they look stunning!
I did have to delete several pre-installed apps, but that seems to be the norm these days.
Swapping over to my S26 Ultra from my S23 Ultra was super easy with Smart Switch.

Best phone on the market
on August 31, 2026
Posted by: Gilotine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the s26 ultra as I am always satisfied with the ultra series. I chose to upgrade because of the privacy screen feature. I really love everything about this phone from taking pictures to just regular use. Build in AI is awesome and features for everything. I recommend this phone

Go back to previous models
on August 31, 2026
Posted by: Fluentfingers
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I changed from Z fold 6 to S26 Ultra because of the S-Pen and the Macro camera. The S-Pen was the main reason. The pen no longer acts like a remote to take pictures/videos. I was VERY disappointed when I found that out. Regretted giving up my Fold. Also, the pen is SUPER difficult to get out of the phone. I have to remove the case first to get out. I am not trading this in for a Z Fold 8 Ultra. (Whenever that will ship, I should be happier).

The s26ultra is an ok phone
on August 31, 2026
Posted by: JDG055
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the s26 ultra when I upgraded from my s23 ultra..I knew there weren't a ton of new physical features but I was expecting better performance...I honestly can't tell much difference between the 2 phones. my camera has been rapidly switching between the different lenses when i try to zoom in on close objects(i.e data plates on motors, RTU's, and part numbers on small parts)
My biggest complaint is that the s26ultra S-pen is no longer bluetooth!!! That was 1 of the most useful features on my s23 ultra!! Why did yall change that?
I do wish they would add a lidar sensor..
A few things I like...im glad they finally did away with the ridiculous curved screen....Thats really the only "new" feature that stands out...
Overall, its a good phone. it has ok battery life & ive dropped it multiple times (in a rugged case) and the screen did not crack..

Great Product
on August 31, 2026
Posted by: Saravanan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The comprehensive consensus among customer and expert reviews ranks the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra as a refined, ultra-powerful flagship. It earns immense praise for its modernized ergonomics, though it faces mixed opinions on its new privacy-focused display technology.

Posted by: CertifiedDentalLabTech
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra as my latest cell phone as it allows me to design Grillz and other things for my dental lab even when I'm away from my computer. The stylus helps for detailed sculpting and flawless design. An absolute game changer. The Galaxy S26 Ultra also allows for me to view cases in various lab software anywhere anytime. Revolutionary device for dental lab techs on the go.
