The New Privacy Screen
on June 18, 2026
Posted by: MoabJim
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Privacy Screen has been criticized for slightly dimming the screen itself. To me, it adds a sort of magical quality to photos. Of course it is best viewed straight ahead, but no one can see it from the side, either. The Galaxy AI function are available, but not obtrusive. The image generator functions are about as useful as Pacman.

Awesome device
on June 18, 2026
Posted by: JerseyEd
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the new Samsung S26 especially the privacy screen and not having to worry who can see what I'm doing especially with sensitive information on my phone. Also the AI call screening feature where I don't have to answer unknown numbers as the AI feature does it for you and you can see in real-time who the caller is and what they want to talk about before deciding on whether to answer the call or not.

Happy with the Galaxy 26 Ultra
on June 18, 2026
Posted by: Natpat17
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Images appear sharp on the screen and the S Pen works great--it's like using your favorite pen. I am enjoying the Galaxy AI features on the phone such as the image generator and assistant Bixby. Very helpful to have a voice command that sets an alarm, turns on do not disturb, among other useful functions. The phone has a good battery life as well. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase.

Great Phone!
on June 18, 2026
Posted by: Limbcrafter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Another solid samsung phone! We've been using Samsung phones for about 12 years now. We've never had an issue with the Samsung products. I'm old so I know that it has way more capabilities than what I typically use. I have been playing around with Galaxy AI, pretty fun! Again another great Samsung product! Keep it up!

Clear Display Long Battery Life
on June 18, 2026
Posted by: Allenm28
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I previously used the Z-Flip phones and decided to go back to the brick. I am very happy with the S26Ultra performance. Operations are fast, battery life is great. Easy to use. I find my self using the Galaxy AI app more and more. Voice recognition is excellent. Dictation is transcribed almost perfectly.

A New Device
on June 18, 2026
Posted by: PowellD
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I Had A Z Fold 5. I Hardly Used It. When I Went To Get It Activated A Line Was In The Middle Of The Screen When Infolded. I Thought A Reset Would Fix It. It Never Went Away. I Traded It In Because It Was In Perfect Condition, But Couldn’t Be Used So I Got The S26 To Get The Best Return On My Money. It Operates As My Previous Note And The Galaxy AI Was A Bonus.
“Thank You!”

Poor camera colors, S Pen lost features
on June 18, 2026
Posted by: IAHMAD
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded to the Galaxy S26 Ultra expecting improvements, but my experience has been disappointing. The camera quality is inconsistent, and I frequently notice color accuracy issues in photos. Images sometimes look unnatural, with colors that do not match what I see in real life.
Another downside is the S Pen. Features that were available on previous Ultra models have been removed, making the S Pen feel much less useful. To regain some functionality, users are required to purchase additional accessories, which adds extra cost to a premium device. In addition, the S Pen is easy to accidentally pull out of the phone, which increases the risk of losing or damaging it.
