Samsung S26 Ultra

Theodopolus · 4 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From the moment the box is opened to the final setup option, Samsung makes it easy from startup to setup. The Galaxy AI options are there to use when needed and there are tutorials to help inexperienced users like me. The data transferring gets faster and easier with every new phone. AI offered help if I needed it. I am looking forward to exploring what more AI can do for me.

Love the new privacy screen settings!

SamsungGirly · 4 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is super nice. The phone feels good in hand, and looks sleek. I love the new privacy features, especially being able to choose which apps I use the privacy screen for! I'm not a huge fan of AI, but since I used to use Google Assistant and that is going away, being replaced with Gemini, I've decided that I have to try to embrace the product. Since Gemini is built into this phone, it will be helpful in learning the limits of AI and how it can be useful in using this phone towards its full potential.

The world’s first privacy display built into a phone.

For the first time ever, you can now limit what others can see on your phone whenever you want by enabling the built-in Privacy Display on Galaxy S26 Ultra. Clear when you look at it straight on but more private when others look in, Privacy Display can even be preset to automatically turn on when receiving notifications, typing in passwords or using specific apps.⁶

Remove the mess. Restore the magic.⁴

Quickly transform your photos by simply typing or tapping using Photo Assist⁴ with Galaxy AI.³ Did someone take a bite of your dessert before you took the photo? Just type, “Make this piece of cake look perfect,” and your pic is fixed like magic. Want to add in a few plates or cups to elevate the scene? Pull objects from Samsung Gallery, and they’ll naturally blend in with the scene’s lighting and shadows. You can even apply AI-generated styles to give your photo a totally different vibe.

Memorable nights, clearly captured.

With Galaxy S26 Ultra, your nights don’t disappear in the dark. Nightography captures concerts, city nights and dinner celebrations with vivid detail — even in low light. When you take photos or record videos, S26 Ultra automatically adjusts in real time to keep what you capture clear and bright so you never have to think about lighting or settings.

A creative studio on your phone. Strong performance. Smooth play.

Meet your new creative outlet. From playful illustrations to 3D cartoons, add fun to your everyday moments —whether it’s a custom wallpaper, stickers for your group chat, a special contact photo or an invitation.^5,3 Push the boundaries of what’s possible in mobile gaming thanks to our most powerful processor yet. Play graphic-intensive games with lightning-fast responsiveness.

Smart suggestions.¹ Brilliant timing.

Now Nudge with Galaxy AI³ is your behind-the-scenes assistant that just gets you. When you need to reply to a text ¹, search for info or fill out an online form, Now Nudge uses your screen cues to pull up information saved on your phone², right when you need it. That means quicker replies, fewer frantic app switches and more moments that feel like you’re running your day — and not the other way around.

Group selfies made easy.

Group selfies shouldn’t take so much effort. With a wider front camera⁷, it’s easier to capture more people and more of the scene in one simple shot.

Best AI Feature, camera is incredible

Jayhc09 · 4 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has become my go-to for keeping my hobbies and daily life organized. AI helps me with my personal projects, keeping me informed about my daily activities and helps me add details to my pictures. The 6.9-inch screen is a massive win for watching Hulu and Disney+ content, especially since the "Extreme Contrast" mode makes those gritty apocalyptic films look incredible with deep, true blacks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loving the device. Disappointed seems too similar to the s25 ultra. The privacy screen is a feature I think I will occasionally use. I am very excited to delve into Galaxy Ai and see what it can do to help my life and lifestyle. Looking forward to taking pictures especially at night to see what amazing quality Samsung offers.

Samdp3 · 5 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Trades my S22 Ultra for the S26 Ultra and it has need a great experience. The privacy screen is a great feature, I use it on select applications like banking, messaging and my gallery. The rounded edges make it feel better in my hands and the camera upgrade is a big jump. The Galaxy AI features are pretty cool as well. The voicemail assist is nice touch when you don't want to talk to unknown callers. Experience so far had been great. Have to dive deeper into the other AI features .
