Absolutely Loving My Galaxy S26 Ultra!

MissBirmingham . 9 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Galaxy S26 Ultra because I wanted a phone that felt like a true upgrade, and I am absolutely loving it! The display is beautiful, everything feels fast and smooth, and the overall design feels premium. I use my phone for so much throughout the day—work, photos, videos, social media, creating content, organizing things, and everyday life—and this phone handles it all beautifully. I especially appreciate having a device that can keep up when I’m doing several things at once. The camera quality has also been a big plus for me. I love being able to quickly capture a great photo or video without feeling like I need another device with me. Overall, I’m extremely happy that I chose this phone. It feels powerful, polished, and enjoyable to use, and I’m still discovering new features. Definitely one of my favorite phone upgrades!

Best phone I've ever owned

Elduro . 15 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the S26 Ultra because I needed one device that could handle work, school, and entertainment without compromise. The 6.9" display is absolutely stunning for streaming movies and gaming—the 120Hz smoothness makes everything feel premium. I edit photos and videos on the go with the S Pen, and the 200MP camera delivers incredible detail even at night. For work, Samsung DeX turns this into a desktop replacement when I travel. I attend Zoom calls, edit spreadsheets, and draft reports without touching my laptop. The Privacy Display gives me peace of mind when working in coffee shops. Battery life easily lasts a full day of mixed use, and the 60W charger tops me up in under an hour. Whether I'm shooting 8K video at my kid's basketball game, grinding ranked matches, or binge-watching shows after a long day, this phone handles it all flawlessly. Zero regrets.

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.

The same, but better

GadgetGuy216 . 18 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my third Samsung phone and I'm convinced I'll keep moving up as they come out. I only upgrade every 3-4 years so I'm happy the phones perform well during the entire use period. Battery life has never been an issue and performance is just the same. I chose the 26 Ultra because it was an easy exchange from my 22 Ultra. I didn't have to learn a new phone but there are definitely new features I appreciate. Well done!

The S26 Ultra had an incredible camera!

Hillanbrook . 18 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the S26 Ultra when wife decided to start painting clouds. The camera on the S26 Ultra is incredible and captures the colors and shapes of the sky perfectly. Being able to take 200 MB photos that can be processed later in photography software is a huge bonus! The battery life is incredible and the people color is great too!

Nandezz . 20 hours ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Dropped phone from the fury 325 which is 325 feet of a roller coaster at carowinds and the case and screen protector saved it only a crack in the screen protector, lost the s pen and some lovely people returned it 10 out of ten in durability

Absolutely phenomenal

Chronic . 20 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely amazing phone overall, switching from the s20 note ultra is an absolute game changer, the only thing I'd say is that storage is getting WAY to expensive and having no SD card.

Prince . 20 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Watch Ultra 2025 to keep up with my busy schedule. It has been amazing for organizing my school assignments and staying on track at work. The notifications keep me connected without needing to look at my phone constantly. I am still unlocking new features every single day, and the fitness tracking helps me stay motivated during workouts.

I'm still exploring tools and features within the platform and hope to keep discovering interesting things on this majestic phone. Samsung will always be with me.

Only one major problem

EarthyTech . 20 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I originally chose this phone because my brother bought it first and showed me how incredible the camera was. It looked noticeably better than the S25 Ultra, so when I got mine, I was genuinely impressed. I loved everything about it — the design, the battery life, the overall feel. It really seemed perfect. But there’s one major problem that still hasn’t been fixed: the Wi‑Fi and the Play Store. That issue is extremely disappointing, and I still haven’t found a solution. The Wi‑Fi constantly lags, feels unstable, and will connect to a network but say “no internet available.” Even when it does show an internet connection, about 80% of the apps I try to update or download from the Play Store will not finish installing unless I turn Wi‑Fi off. I’ve never had this problem with any of my previous Samsung phones, so it’s frustrating. Hopefully Samsung addresses this soon.

Anim69 . 21 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone handles everything effortlessly. Multitasking, heavy gaming, and intensive video rendering fly without a single stutter. Paired with up to 7 years of software updates, this device is built for the long haul. The 200MP main sensor combined with the upgraded 50MP periscope and ultrawide lenses delivers stunning detail, brilliant low-light shots, and incredible zoom clarity. Whether you're capturing fast-moving action or distant subjects, the output consistently looks professional. The massive 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display is an absolute treat for media consumption and note-taking with the built-in S-Pen. The introduction of the Privacy Display is a neat trick for keeping sensitive info away from prying eyes on commutes or in coffee shops. The 5,000 mAh battery easily sails through a full day of heavy use. Best of all, the bump up to 60W wired charging finally gives us the rapid top-ups we've been asking for from a Samsung Ultra.
