[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best model yet. I have been a galaxy user since they came out and they just keep getting better. The S26 ultra is probably the best model yet. Love the privacy screen option and all the Galaxy AI has to offer.

Specs

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.

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.

S26 phone review

Severance . 3 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love everything about my new Samsung s26 phone its definitely hands down the best phone I've ever had the pleasure of having. Its the most technologically advanced phone I've ever had as well. I love the storage space on my phone, the software, the pixel camera. I love the user interface my phone has. Galaxy Ai is the future of this generation and many more to come. Samsung galaxy Ai has the most technologically advanced software.

LovingThi5Device . 4 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't usually write a review, but the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra deserves to be spoken about. The speed, feel, design, size perfecly fits in your hand as an extension of your brain. It convinces me that we obtained alien technology because how it works is unbelievable. Galaxy AI makes is so much easier to complete tasks, and it enhances my creativity to a level that surprises me all the time. Just amazing. I could not recommend it more.

It was worth the wait (back order)

Angeldoll . 7 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra from my Galaxy S22 Ultra,and also setting up an S26 for my daughter,ended up being a much bigger leap than I expected. The first thing that really surprised me was just how refined everything feels. The performance boost is noticeable right away, but what stood out most is how much Samsung has leaned into Galaxy AI. Features like real-time call translation, smart photo editing (where you can remove objects or adjust scenes with a tap), and the AI-assisted note summaries have quickly become things I use every day. It’s not just gimmicky,it actually saves time and makes the phone feel more helpful and intuitive. Design wise, I’m really happy with the shift to more rounded edges. On my S22 Ultra, those sharper corners would dig into my palm during longer use, and that’s completely gone now. It’s just more comfortable to hold, especially during extended scrolling or reading sessions. One thing I do miss, though, is the Bluetooth functionality in the S Pen. It was nice being able to use it as a remote for photos or presentations, and it feels like a small step back losing that convenience. Another unexpected moment was flipping the phone over the camera lenses are huge now. Because I used to upgrade every year, I never really noticed how much they’d grown, but after a gap, it’s very obvious. That said, the camera performance absolutely backs it up. Overall, the S26 Ultra feels like a meaningful upgrade, even with the small trade-offs.

The ultimate upgrade from note8 to s26 ultra

samsungondial . 9 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The upgrade best described from hands on to full on hands machine at the command of your fingers tips with privacy display and AI. Awesome all over s26 ultra that blows my mind everytime I use it because it's a phone that pioneers the next generation of galaxy phones which I'm sure will dominate sales. I'm happy to say I got to use the creative studio with AI and made a great idea come to life by just writing a few words. The outcome for the coffee business in mind was/is fantastic. The new UI 8.5 and all the features the s26 ultra provide are next level technology including the various cameras to create great memories for a long time. I'm really happy with my upgrade and I know it will last a long time as this phone brand is trust worthy and don't hesitate get your self a galaxy as well.

LOVE the S26 Ultra

TwiztidDoc . 9 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely LOVE my new S26 Ultra. I use my phone fairly rigorously all day, and the battery just never quits! I am a contractor so I am constantly streaming music, using GPS, and going in/out of various apps. I charge my phone overnight and I don't think it's EVER been under 20% since I bought it! I am not HUGE in to using the Galaxy AI features, but I have played around with some of the photo editing, call screening, and battery management features.
