[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im glad I chose this phone, I was looking for something new and customizable. This phone has it all, I can have two apps running on the same screen. It has a pencil so I can take notes or draw. I love this phone and won't be switching anytime soon.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose Galaxy S26 Ultra and it was a great decision. Between the high tier specs, and plethora of features; I am enjoying using this phone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, the lighter weight is very appreciated and makes a huge difference in handling my phone. The low light camera feature is great. I love taking pics with this phone in all settings. Overall, the best phone I've had so far. But, I know Samsung is not done innovating.
Genuinely awful. The camera is trash. It's slow and laggy. The keyboard is terrible. It constantly corrects words-incorrectly, however. There's too much AI that they make nearly IMPOSSIBLE to remove. When my phone updates, all of my apps start to glitch- particularly my banking apps. I hate this phone. I thoroughly regret switching and I will be rid of this device ( and Samsung ) entirely. It's expensive and absolutely not worth the money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Samsung 26 ultra for its quality.Samsung phones have been my number one choice since I can remember.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really digging the new phone overall because the features are just top-notch. It performs exactly how I wanted and handles everything I throw at it. Unfortunately, I have to mention that the camera glass seems to be quite fragile. Mine cracked way too easily after just a little bit of normal use. It is a massive bummer considering how much I enjoy using the rest of the device. I wish the build quality in that specific area was a bit more durable. Despite that one annoying issue, I still think it is a fantastic piece of tech. I would definitely recommend it to others as long as they are extra careful with the lenses. And I chose to opt for a phone case with camera protector to fix this issue
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was enjoying Galaxy S family for a long time already. Since Galaxy S8 those phones never disappointed me. I love especially ultra series with pen.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always had the galaxy ultra phones. I've up graded to the 26 and I love it even better with all the cool futures it has even the AI...it's awesome. I will always use the Galaxy phones. They even take better pictures. I add and take people out of it...i can't express how excited I am about the new Galaxy 26.
