Awesome features
on July 13, 2026
Posted by: Phantomkinge
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After spending some real time with this phone, a few standout features have completely changed how I use it daily. The Galaxy AI has been an absolute game-changer, especially when it comes to screening calls. It seamlessly filters out annoying spam without me ever having to interrupt what I'm doing, giving me back some serious peace of mind. The AI photo editing is just as impressive; instead of needing complex software, I can clean up shots and remove background distractions in seconds right from the native gallery.
Another feature I've grown to rely on is Circle to Search. It is the ultimate shortcut for curiosity—if I see something interesting in a video, photo, or social feed, I can just circle it and instantly get answers. I love that I no longer have to open a separate app and type out a clunky description just to find an item or a location.
But honestly, one of the best things about the whole experience is the privacy screen. It keeps wandering eyes away from my notifications, messages, and whatever else I'm working on. Having that layer of security gives me total confidence and peace of mind when I'm using my phone out in public or around other people.

Upgrade from S21+ to S26 Ultra
on July 13, 2026
Posted by: Helterran
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently changed from S21+ to S26 Ultra, i cannot stress how right the upgrade went. EVERYTHING is faster and with good lock and Galaxy AI photo editor is a lot of fun and i can see more than 4 apps per screen and Home Up app is a must have! I also made other Ipjone 17 Pro Max users jealous about my new setup

I thought I bought a Samsung, not a Google phone.
on July 13, 2026
Posted by: Notsamsung
I have been a very big supporter of Samsung phones, but the Force movement to start using more Google apps, It's not what I signed up for, if I wanted a Google phone I would have bought one.

Nice upgrade with better features.
on July 13, 2026
Posted by: RealtorCHIC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra primarily for work, and it has been an excellent experience. The picture quality is outstanding, the battery life easily lasts through my busy days, and the new Galaxy AI features have made everyday tasks much more efficient. I hardly use my laptop anymore because I can accomplish so much directly from my phone. It has truly made working easier and more convenient.

Great phone and features
on July 13, 2026
Posted by: Peaches315
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Galaxy s26 ultra. The Galaxy AI features are really nice. I like the editing of photos, Google AI search and I really appreciate the assistance with hearing during calls. I have hearing aides and the assisted call enhancement and option to translate calls are very useful. The camera on the S26 ultra has amazing clarity and zoom.

Loved my S22Ultra But this is NEXT LEVEL!
on July 13, 2026
Posted by: Moneyo07
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had my Galaxy S22 Ultra for years and honestly loved that phone, but the battery was starting to die too fast, so I knew it was finally time to upgrade. The Galaxy S26 Ultra has been next level from day one.
I use my Samsung devices for pretty much everything—streaming movies and sports, gaming, work, school, taking photos, answering emails, and staying organized throughout the day. The display is incredible, everything runs smooth, and the battery life has been a huge improvement over my S22 Ultra.
Galaxy AI has also made a real difference in my daily routine. I use it to help summarize information, improve messages and emails, search for things faster, and edit photos. It feels like the phone is actually helping me save time instead of just being another device.
I also have the Galaxy Watch8 and the newest Galaxy Buds, which I absolutely love. Everything connects and works together seamlessly. From workouts and calls to music, work, entertainment, and staying connected with my family, Samsung is part of my everyday life.
I’m a Samsung customer through and through, and the S26 Ultra is easily the best phone I’ve owned!

AI powerhouse for everyday life!
on July 13, 2026
Posted by: Texan44
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Powerful Phone with Incredible Display and Battery Life!
Using the Galaxy S26 Ultra every day has honestly been a great experience for me. The battery life stands out right away. I can go through a full day of work, driving around, streaming, taking pictures, and it still has plenty of charge left. The screen is one of my favorite parts. The resolution is crystal clear and the brightness makes everything look sharp whether I am inside or outside. Watching videos and looking at photos on this phone feels better than any Samsung I have owned before. The camera has also been impressive. Galaxy AI helps clean up low light shots, sharpen zoom photos, and make quick edits without me having to mess with settings. It also helps with everyday things like organizing notes and summarizing text, which actually saves me time. There are a couple things I wish were different. The stylus design is not my favorite. Since it sits in the corner and only goes in one way, it feels less convenient than older models where you could slide it in either direction. It is small but noticeable. The speaker volume could also be louder. The sound is clear, but it does not have the punch I expected from a phone at this level. Even with those things, I am really happy with the S26 Ultra. It has a long lasting battery, an amazing display, strong performance, and Galaxy AI features that actually help in real life. Overall it has been a solid upgrade for me.
